[QUOTE=PistolKid;39984013]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.[/QUOTE]
I've learned that its more about where you hit someone than hitting them a lot. My new standard practice is aiming a bit to the right or left of the targetter, so that I can slice off my wings, or at least damage their control flaps and make them more vulnerable.
Nope im done, whatever this patch brought infuriates me and makes this unplayable
And the lag, ohhhh the lag.
Back to WoT for now, it was fun
So what's the best ammo for the Hurricanes and Mk.1 Spitfire in Arcade mode?
Donno what your guys' problem is, the new patch made the game a whole lot more fun than it was. planes actually seem to go down when you hit them in vital or weak areas.

Like I said earlier, it's really only the people that would let their plane get shot to hell in 1.27 that are really hating this patch

Hell I feel like my plane dies less from stupid one shots and more from when I actually let the enemy get a decent burst on me, which is how it should be. Not to mention I also feel like there's a bit more control for extremely damaged planes and that autokick timer doesn't appear nearly as much for me which makes dying more enjoyable.
Oh and I enjoy not having to follow a plane for a minute while shooting him with a thousand shots for him to go down
Don't you play japan now which were rather light planes? Or are you talking all your planes in general.
I've been flying mostly USA and RU (0-1, biplanes with APIT are just fucking great). I've noticed Japanese planes get set on fire more, but I haven't played too much of UK/Japan yet in 1.29
Seriously take the P-47 for a spin, that thing is so much fun now
[editline]20th March 2013[/editline]
German planes and american planes have increased survivability, the Russian planes don't really feel that different except for APIT in 0-1 matches making you an unstoppable monster. UK seems to have been hit the hardest by the patch since they only really have .30s on most of their early planes which aren't too great and they don't exactly have a lot of armor either. Japan at least gets great turning and early cannons to counter their terrible armor
They changed the Bf109's turn right which I know for sure, my spitfire couldnt keep up in a turn with one. Was a good chase until one of my I rounds finally hit him.

That's a pretty bold statement that you keep making. Sorry we don't all have tier 20s in every tree ever.
I just enjoyed a low tier match, and I want to like this patch, but suddenly tier 10-ish matches are frustratingly boring. Trying out mid-tiers now, and I'll retry high tier later.
I don't play higher tiers anymore, the devs removed the point of doing that a long time ago. Highest I'll go to is 9 now since tier 10+ battles aren't nearly as fast paced and the players there are just less fun in general.
Really though most of the complaints seem to be "i get shot down too fast now" yet in 1.27 people were complaining that they couldn't shake someone off their ass, so as far as I see it all it's doing is speeding up the process and making the game move faster.
Oh and it's removed a lot of the bullshit I saw in 1.27 with planes being fine yet you still get kicked out or some guns doing significantly less damage than they should (.50s, .30s, 20mms that aren't ShVAK)
will there be a hard wipe? I'm thinking of going into this game. Also what are the best nations, planes bombers etc?
The British have the best fighters in my opinion. Then again, it's the only tech tree I've bothered investing my time in since I first started playing.
[QUOTE=Toyokunari;39984549]will there be a hard wipe? I'm thinking of going into this game. Also what are the best nations, planes bombers etc?[/QUOTE]
since they're letting you buy premium time, and premium aircraft, it's likely one won't come. IIRC, when you bought gold or other gift packs, they would warn you that a wipe most likely wouldn't come, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
[QUOTE=Toyokunari;39984549]will there be a hard wipe? I'm thinking of going into this game. Also what are the best nations, planes bombers etc?[/QUOTE]
I believe they said they wouldn't do a hard wipe.
US/RU have the best bombers (well I haven't tried the later japan ones that just got added, but the british bombers didn't feel fun at all) and with B-25s just being introduced it doesn't take forever to get to them on the US side. The US also loves putting bombs and rockets on most of their planes so pretty much anything can be used to take out ground targets.
Each nations tend to have their own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to fighters so it really depends on your style of play.
Germans get speed
Americans now get pretty good, realiable firepower with the .50s getting an overall buff
Most would consider Russians to be overpowered
UK/Japan are more for turn fights with Japan having better turning but UK having better speed and climb
Well my assessment is the only people who don't like the update are those that really don't understand flight mechanics at all.
Economy is abit meh, but really isnt that bad. They really need to get some numbers right tho, prop plane with more repair costs then jets?.....
why do enemy planes take so much ammo now?
me and two platoon mates were shooting a yak3 for like 20 seconds with no success. every shot was hitting and I was using 20mm cannon.
this is happening every fight now, is it then netcode or what?

So tell me... why do I have to leave my plane? I got strafed by something and my fuselage and engine went back, which is fine... but why do I have to leave my plane? I never caught on fire and my wings are perfectly fine. I would have gone down anyway, sure, but I probably could have landed.
I find the latest version of this game not as fun as the last. It seems like there is a big discrepancy between the amount damage a plane takes, sometimes they go down very quickly and at other times its like they're made of bricks. It feels like this game is based more on chance now than before.
wow they killed the .50s. was just watching friends replay of him wailing on guy in beaufighter for 2 entire reloads with no kill, LMAO
[QUOTE=Toyokunari;39984549]will there be a hard wipe? I'm thinking of going into this game. Also what are the best nations, planes bombers etc?[/QUOTE]
As many people have said, no. There will be no hard wipe. So, progress on! Also I suggest US bombers, B-25 is tough and has lots of dakka. Just the first bomb loadout is bad....atleast its better then the wellingtons.
Is FrB not meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard or something,
I just tried the tutorial mode for it and it made me feel sick to my stomach trying to fly with inverted controls.

Pilot might have been killed?
[QUOTE=DTKT;39985687]Pilot might have been killed?[/QUOTE]
I could still control the plane though. Plus if your pilot gets kill it doesn't even give you that message, you just completely lose control of the plane.

your engine is dead. Dead engine=boot.
B25s are fucking broken don't fly them oh my god

Work fine for me.
[QUOTE=Tudd;39986132]Work fine for me.[/QUOTE]
They fall apart when you look at them, given that they're tier 7 and 9 or whatever, and the flight model is the most broken piece of shit they've ever released.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39986031]your engine is dead. Dead engine=boot.[/QUOTE]
Well that's stupid. Before they introduced the whole plane leaving thing I glided back to an airfield a couple times on a dead engine.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39986031]your engine is dead. Dead engine=boot.[/QUOTE]
That's not true, I've been gliding in planes all day today.

I actually have found that they are extremely strong when flying them. I really haven't been decimated in seconds at all.
