[QUOTE=O'Neil;39954646]75mm B-25 isnt coming out yet, only the J ones which just have lots of turrets (5) and 50cals (6)[/QUOTE]
Hm still wondering if the American bomber line is worth going into atleast then. Instead of put free xp in the other lines I mentioned.
[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;39954660]Where are the B-25s in terms of tier/price? I know the B17s are expensive as fuck.

Jesus, I can only imagine how much ass a 75mm round would kick.[/QUOTE]
Tier 7 and 9, if I recall from that video that was posted here it was something like 100k for the tier 7 one and 150k for the tier 9 one.

I like the american line, there fighters can perform the role of a fighter-bomber well and the naval aircraft are grand. Plus, super fortress whenever it comes out will be rather awesome,.
[QUOTE=Tudd;39954622]Is the ME410 tree worth investing into, the Hs 129, or just go for American bombers and hope for 75mm b25 XD.[/QUOTE]
If you're looking to try scoring air kills with the 75mm I would say go for the Hs-129 as it will probably be much more nimble. The B-25 will probably have more ammo though.
[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;39954644]I dunno about you, but I'm going for that ME410. It's like I've been searching for something the whole time I've been playing WT, and now I've found it.
Glorious Air Sniper Rifle, you will be mine.[/QUOTE]
I just got the ME410. I really like it, although it takes a lot of work to hit a bomber with that 50, you've got to be patient and line yourself up right. The other issue is that you're essentially worthless at dealing with fighters, but the standard armament versions are very killy, especially if you can hit wings.
Hmm, not sure if I should continue with the Luftwaffe... (Rank 7 with the Americans, only Rank 4 with the Germans)
I did a commentaray with some of my friends, i'm the "english" one.

If you didn't realise, I'm not that good with the game, but I'd love to improve, so please give me some advice if you think I did something awfully wrong with the flying.

If the HS-129 is anything like it was in real life, which it probably won't be because lolrussuainDev's, it won't be nimble, it won't be fast, and it won't be easy to control. When that thing gains momentum, it loses it's agility pretty quickly. Plus a massive 75mm anti tank cannon is very heavy to carry for such a shitty aircraft. I wouldn't waste my time with the HS-129. I'd go for a B-25 because at least you'll get 8 or so .50 cals along with the 75mm, and maybe a few bombs to drop with it.

The B-25 has turrets and can carry rockets and bombs along with the 75mm so its a obvious advantage.
and if il-2 1946 is anything to go by the b-25 is about the same in maneuverability since I would get into dogfights with 109's and shoot them with the top turret while we turned.

Yeah, if IL-2 46' is anything to go by, the HS-129 will climb like a sloth, have the armor of a manila envelope, have the top speed of about 200 km/h, and almost go into a nose dive because of the recoil from the 75. I honestly wouldn't even bother with that aircraft. The B-25 will wreck shit though if it's able to carry all of it's armaments.
I level up too slowly
But i'm to poor to get premium :suicide:
Maybe I'll hand monies to my brother so he'd buy me premium. I've got no way to pay, fucking russians not accepting paysafe.
Arcade is such a mess that I can't stand to do more than one round of it a day. I love doing HB now.

Ah, I don't really know anything about the Hs-129. I was just making an assumption based on it being an attacker rather than a bomber. Oh well, now I know and knowing is half the battle.

ME 410 is getting nerfed for no reason :I
Beaufighter is getting a pretty heavy nerf in speed as well. La5-FN got a pretty light nerf it seems.
And... all of the Russian ammo belts are meant to fuck shit up with more incendiary ammo than other nations. Beware of High Explosive Incendiary Tracer rounds on the Yak-9T and Ishaks with Armor Piercing Incendiary ammo now.
If it means the 50mm is going to be high explosive incendiary then I don't care about no damn maneuverability nerf, the thing wasn't exactly a dogfighter to start with.
Decreased max speed makes me a bit sad, though, don't know why they're doing that.
Are there any system requirements for war thunder? because my PC sucks.

There are no official system requirements yet, but it seems to be really well optimized so far. It's worth a try to just download and give it a go I guess

[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;39965140]Why you no gib da dakka to the Germans or Americans gaijin :([/QUOTE]
Because USA and Germany are inferior to glorius russia
Speaking of glorious russia, just got the engine and wing of my BF110 blown apart by another ridiculously tiny russian plane.
It was a Chaika this time.
Server down for maintenance?
3gb patch... is this 1.29?
[QUOTE=lilguy;39964236]

[/QUOTE]
figures as much
as it stands, it can take 2 hits from the fair and balanced 37mm from a Yak 9
but if a yak 9 gets hosed down with 4 20mm's, 2 12.7's, and 2 7.92's it can still fly off into the sunset without giving half of a fuck.
German interceptors are too damn fragile.
Patch confirmed by people as 1.29. This gon be gud.

I haven't been able to get back into warthunder now that I've been playing il2 cod. I played warthunder for the full real and now that il2 has been patched with mods I cant bring myself back to warthunder.
[sp]there was a 100 person battle today on the channel map in il2[/sp]
so i went from 680,000 or something lions to 2,367,000 lions
and all the old planes are on discount at their old prices for some short time... i like this new patch
