they really aren't, but it still really helps to have knowledge of weak points, vital areas, and basic maneuvering thats more complicated than a loopty-loop. I actually got into a rolling-scissors battle recently. I haven't had that happen since IL-2.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;39987778]You've got to be really god damned desperate to play "Full Real" mode, aka competitive coop against bots in a map scattered with too many ground units for your 3 human players to handle. War Thunder in Full Real and Il-2 1946 don't even have similar flight dynamics. And when we talk about War Thunder it's very rare we're referring to playing in full real.[/QUOTE]
After the flop of il-2 clod do I really have a choice?
[QUOTE=Toyokunari;39987730]Ok so level 1 and 2 I aced it, however level 3 I kept on sucking. Using the level 3 russian fighter the lagg something. But why does it fly like a rock? Pitches and roll so slow... and only 1 machine gun and 1 cannon.[/QUOTE]
Well in real life it was a huge piece of shit. The pilots actually nick named it the varnished guaranteed coffin (it matched the acronym for LaGG-3 in Russian).
wow i can actually kill planes now this patch

I can actually kill planes now with the US server
[QUOTE=Skwee;39987941]I can actually kill planes now with the US server[/QUOTE]
I can still kill things despite 400 ping..
[QUOTE=O'Neil;39988031]I can still kill things despite 400 ping..[/QUOTE]
I could too, but not very often, mostly not doing jack shit to enemies when I shoot them. Maybe it is the new dmg modules, but I am really wrecking shit now. Several times I get 7 kills with my first plane out in a game (actually was the f2a-3 both times.)
Sooo, I just had a match where I shot down seven planes.
I got 5K lions. For reference, the next plane I need to unlock costs 170K.
Also LaGGs turn like UFOs now.
Oh great, US Servers, now i have to argue with my american friends about which server to lay on everytime we play the game. Oh well, i guess it's all for the better.
On another hand, am i the only one having frequent problems with my planes not repairing when i land on airfields?

I dont think they repair in domination anymore. Gotta live with your damage. I've been flying around with a fucked up wing and still killing people, it is pretty funny.

Not in arcade mode, but still you get some basic flying knowledge most people don't understand.
The new DM has made low-tier Russian planes unbearably OP. They're fast, maneuverable, and most importantly have more guns and access to APIT rounds, which means you just have to burst someone and they become too damaged to fight back. I literally ripped a Catalina in half with a Chaika, after disabling its gunners and tail with one burst. Arcade has become 'who gets dinged first,' and more bullets=more dinging.

Not that it really matters, since I can get 5-7 air kills and make less than 5K lions.
So i guess i shouldn't bother flying germans anymore?
Soooo, I'm strafing an armoured car in my kingcobra... and when it dies, it explodes like a 4000lb bomb.
wat
mbbird missing the point of my post
whenever I've flown the b25 it goes into retarded antigravity inside loops and bugs out and throws me around the map

seriously what
Pretty well done [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1aq3ng/the_reason_it_is_easier_to_die_yet_harder_to_kill/]Reddit post[/url] about why the new DM can feel so fucking aggravating.
fucking had a super long dogfight 1v1 since it was just me and this guy left on our teams, was super shit because I could not go slower than him really (he was in a ju 87 and I was in a hurricane mk I.) so basically I just endlessly scissored with him until the clock ran out and i lost since we had slightly less tickets than them. I still had aircraft left too, should have just rammed him. pretty sure he was close to out of planes since that was his 2nd ju 87 in a row.
Oh well. 13 kills that game, highest points of either team
I don't think 'dogfighting' is the right term when a JU-87 is involved :v:
Am i the only one who can't spawn in the Blenheim Mk IV?
I load the map, I can't select any weapons (the slot i just blank). And when i press "Select" nothing happens.
Whoever said that the only people complaining about the patch were 'shit at the game' (Not his words but thats what was implied)
Were you trying to defend the developers or something?
The problem most people (At least me and what I saw) were complaining about were planes taking so many hits. I had a read of that reddit post and It confirmed my suspicions, the new damage model is no good for arcade FOR SOME PART. They should slightly decrease the health of say, the wing or generally the plane and then fix the force bailout, because in arcade flying is so easy, a few harmed mini-crit points are barely a problem. You can just fly away unscathed, or land and fix the small damage. A broken wing is HARD to land with.
tldr, new damage model would be better suited as is in HB/FRB than in arcade
Also bombers what a joke hah
Ju's are pieces of shit.

Isn't that the same post where I said the developers ruined the point of playing past tier 10? Yeah I was pretty much defending them by saying that.
Oh and let's not forget where I also said planes were surviving more but a good burst would still fuck them up, exactly like this reddit post you're mentioning. I'll take fun dogfights where skilled players come out on top over bullshit one shots any day, thank you very much.

[QUOTE=Valdor;39981536]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[/QUOTE]
I don't know about you guys, but I'm fucking people up just fine in my Bf109s and P-39s/63s, even with default ammo.
Why is the second camo of the P63A-10 Kingcobra not working anymore? I'm now forced to fly a fucking banana.
[editline]21st March 2013[/editline]
They also fixed the "land, repair, hold J, select the same plane to spawn in the air without having to take off" trick. Ah well
[editline]21st March 2013[/editline]
Also what's with all the enormous discounts on higher tier aircraft at the moment?
Soon as i hit level 4 german, I brought EVERY level 4 german plane to replace my Reserves.
Feels good.

Thus sums up my feelings perfectly.
I don't usually do very well in the B-25 but I don't even care because it's just a great looking airplane
[IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/25hn0pt.jpg[/IMG]
Looking at it made me wonder though, if the devs went as far as to change aircraft performance, even though it'd be somewhat subtle, based on a paint job? Paint on aircraft can weigh a ton and usually increases friction with the air.
Well, seeing as you can unlock "polished fuselage" and that's supposed to do something...
