[QUOTE=lilguy;39979973]I was discussing this with some random guy in-game, said that he was deploying the magenta smoke behind him, but I couldn't see it.
You sure it wasn't some guy's damaged engine?[/QUOTE]
Nope, it was two blue smoke trails, one from each wing-tip. I was pretty close, so it could be rendered only at close range?
Which of the custom ammo is the best against other planes and do you have to rearm the ammo each match? It would seem awfully expensive then

Ammo belts are a one time purchase and I enjoy stealth the most. Of course you can change ammo belts in the spawn menu so it doest hurt to experiment with different ones either
Holy shit why is it still so difficult to download updates? What moron designed this launcher

stealth ammo is the best, but HE and IT are the best for anti air I think.
What is the difference between the two B25s? They look identical in everyway.

J20 has 1 more 50 cal in the nose.
New patch out, wonder what it could be?

Holy shit apparently everyone HATES 1.29.
US server is up!

The people having problems with 1.29 are the people who would get killed fast in 1.27 so now they're just dying even faster.
Or heavy bombers that liked to dive bomb, I suppose they can't do that anymore
All excited to finally have a US server:
100 people.

All the people who didn't enjoy instagib mode in unreal are disliking it too.

I'm not following, don't you use your ammo on other air targets? So why is stealth ammo the best?
[QUOTE=Lamar;39981829]I'm not following, don't you use your ammo on other air targets? So why is stealth ammo the best?[/QUOTE]
because it blows things the fuck up
It's stealth ammo because there are no tracers.
and it blows things the fuck up
nope, it fucks things the blow up
things fuck up the blow it
[QUOTE=Lamar;39981829]I'm not following, don't you use your ammo on other air targets? So why is stealth ammo the best?[/QUOTE]
Stealth ammo has no tracers in it, so it's incredibly hard, if not impossible, to spot and find out what direction all that lead is coming from. Your average dipshit war thunder player won't know he's being until he's had both his wings sheared off. It's especially handy on planes that have a dozen machine guns on them, like the early hurricanes.
Personally, I can't use stealth ammo on planes where all their guns are mounted in the wings. When the guns are in the wings, I have to use tracers to guide the lead in. If the guns are in the nose, it isn't an issue.

Would you rather have mostly AP or mostly AP Incendiary with some HE Incendiary thrown in and no tracers so the dipshit enemies don't realize they're being shot at
some pretty important things to note is the effect of the munition types themselves:
AP is just a normal bullet: it pierces armor and does damage by hitting things, its effectiveness can be pretty limited. they're good against planes that actually have good armor
tracers, HE, and incendiary will KILL lighter planes. AP rounds that have a tracer or HE/I tip are good at starting fuel fires and blowing people the fuck up. HE, tracers, incendiary, destroy light skinned aircraft and biplanes and shit. destroy.
Is it realistic to blow up like that every time you crash? I mean my engine isn't even running.
Also, what's the omni belt holding?

yes
and check the ammo load by mousing over for the description. omni-belts have the widest variety of rounds usually
lol these dicerolls are killing me
spawn in p38g
enemy comes at me in same plane
both shoot each other for 5 sec headon
dont miss at all
my plane explodes
respawn in p63
shoot him frontally with 37mm 3 times
my plane explodes
hes still intact
respawn in p47
shoot him 400 times
he hits ground
doesnt give me the kill
never quit so hard in my life
I can't listen to music while playing WT because of this whole stealth ammo thing. They should remove the auto assist lead marker for people using completely tracerless ammo.

fuel igniting from produced sparks etc.
HE in cannons feels completely useless. I've been firing HEIT HEIT APT from the 37mm Kingcobra cannons and it takes me forever to take most targets down. Standard AP ammo feels a lot better.

Yeaaah at the minute all this ammo is just impractical (apart from stealth)
May as well use AP

A20G takes my entire load from my DO2
Then the server lags out
standard

what the fuck is up with this patch
planes can take an entire mag of cannon now
[QUOTE=Skwee;39980014]Nope, it was two blue smoke trails, one from each wing-tip. I was pretty close, so it could be rendered only at close range?[/QUOTE]
Okay just saw them in-game. Only saw them when I was 100m away from a Yak-9T spewing pink smoke from its ass.
The physics in 1.29 are fucking hilarious. Aside from the whole bouncing wreckage thing, I was flying my Hien and I collided belly-first against the side of a mountain and I bounced away without any damage.
I'm getting extremely frustrated with this game now.
Level 8 with Germans, 6 with Brits, 4 with USSR, USA, Japan.
Seems like every time I try to shoot someone down it takes for EVER to kill them, cannons or no cannons. But when I fly a bomber to 3500 altitude a random fighter plane can come out of butt-fuck nowhere and take me down in a single burst and fly away without a scratch from my waist gunners.
