So they have increased the price of all aircraft by 100% while keeping the already low income? Not sure that's the best economical plan ever devised, oh well russians.
edit
Dammit after a few games it is evident that there are alot of other broken things as well, i'm expecting a hotfix still this week, just kidding there won't be a hotfix.
So, my download got stuck on "finishing download" and wouldn't proceed (I gave it over 2 hours). I had to close the launcher and now the entire game is corrupted and I have to re install... oh joy.

Considering many planes got their reward bonuses increased by more than 100% of what they use to be, along with repair bills going down for alot of lower tier (<12) planes... I would have thought that you would be glad that the money grind is going to be shorter.
Also besides the weird physics with the destroyed planes, which hardly affects gameplay, what exactly do you mean by "a lot of other broken things" because everything seems to have been improved overall

Did you check to have enough HD space?
Peleliu seems to have a bug where if you land on the airfield it won't repair your planes.

Actually it does repair it just doesn't show up that you are.

Okey, okey upon futher investigation the reward ammount has been increased drastically making my statement about that null and void what comes to the game being broken i exaggerated because i was just rammed to death by a stuka that survived the crash just okey making my blood boil. Alas the tracer rounds option doesn't work for me.
Ok, I really do not like this new patch. Many of the changes makes sense for realistic battles, but in arcade there is just so much to dislike. Level bombing seems useless now, and I've gone from earning 50k Lions every battle to 10k Lions every battle.
So any pointers in what ammo to use in what situation? I mainly play fighters in arcade, what ammo type works best against enemy bombers and fighters?
Like for the 37mm Cobra gun I'm using HEIT-HEIT-APT, but it feels shit compared to the standard AP ammo. Might just be me though.
Okay, so the A6M2-N seems to be made of even weaker paper than the Ki-43, it's also slower, can't climb for shit and takes years to turn. Having cannons doesn't make up for that...
seems now it won't auto-boot you from the aircraft if you successfully land it at an airfield. Crash landed my ME-410 and lost my wing in the landing, it gave me the option to leave the aircraft but it let me repair.

I would hope 200 GB would be enough ;) I finally got it to work. For some reason the next time I tried to do the exact same thing it worked.
This update is awesome by the way. If they keep up this quality for all the upcoming patches this game is going to really give WoT a run for it's money.
Hows the Tier 6 lend-lease P39 for the Russians?
Why the hell do I suddenly have 200,000 more XP then I should!?!
I haven't had the chance to play the new patch yet but I was just looking at a few things in the menu on my buddy's computer. What did they change with bombing and how come all the American bomb loads are measured in kgs instead of lbs?
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39972834]Hows the Tier 6 lend-lease P39 for the Russians?[/QUOTE]
iirc goes almost 100km/h faster than the american p39

The Kittyhawk and Catalinas still have bomb loads in pounds. Haven't checked the others.
Also, bombing targets is somewhat rewarding. Was getting +150 XP for every sequential ground target kill and I racked it up to a 17 ground kill streak, netting me 2550 bonus XP in addition to actually killing the target.
[QUOTE=vampiresrock;39972854]Why the hell do I suddenly have 200,000 more XP then I should!?![/QUOTE]
They added a bunch of new achievements that you probably already had completed. So it just gave you the rewards.

Just got out of my first few games with it. It's a pretty good plane, if not a bit sluggish in terms of agility. It's pretty quick too and has plenty o' firepower. Playing this alongside my LAGG-3 has caused me to double my kills and income per match.

aka now you die from your mistakes like you should and you dont get to fly around like a fucktard for 20 seconds while hundreds of 20mm rounds tear through your plane doing nothing
* doesn't apply if you use 12,7mm MG's which can't kill stuff for shit.

A6M2-N has amazing turning, I don't know how you came to that conclusion

American 50 cals still fuck shit up, so I don't know what you're talking about.
Also, the Ju 87 seems hardier now. I was flying about with an almost entirely blackened plane, had my fuel tank light on fire and then go out, and managed to fly level for a bit.

This works for tactical games like IL-2 and Flaming Cliffs, but in a game like War Thunder where the player respawns, is rewarded for suicide ground rushes, and in which the [I][B]only[/B][/I] kind of combat is furball combat, the player isn't rewarded for making smart decisions, the player is rewarded for diving into the furball and grabbing a few kills, relying solely on luck to hope the enemy doesn't decide make the decision to attack you. It's even more "okay, on my tail, gg exit plane" now.

And now the "pros" will be loading "stealth" ammo, which is misnamed "stealth" ammo over "maximum damage" ammo.
[QUOTE=Valdor;39973314]A6M2-N has amazing turning, I don't know how you came to that conclusion[/QUOTE]
Well, there's the fact that it turns substantially slower than the Ki-43...
I'm sure the normal A6M2 is amazing but I'm probably never going to rank up that much.

I swear there's a bomb that is set with a random timer every match in the B-25 and at some point it just goes off and you die. So many I die before I even knew anyone was shooting me because literally the first shot makes me explode.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY EARNING
So apparently the earning should have increaed but a 1500+ point game now earns a nearly a quarter of what it used to and everything is more expensive
whuuuut

Huuuh, turns out my mission bonus didnt add for some reason

Just tested it and they turn the same, I still don't know what you're talking about substantially slower turn speed
[editline]19th March 2013[/editline]
Yeah the plane flies slower I guess?
so just reading some poorly translated patch notes and saw this gem
"Removed 137mm given to cargo ships by mistake"
