[QUOTE=DTKT;39783894]I assumed that replays had a bit of a desync regarding hits and showing the actual tracers. As for the latency, it's worth mentionning that anyone playing from NA is playing on EU or RU servers. I've never been under 150 to 175 ms of latency. At first glance, it doesn't seem to be that noticeable, but I bet it definitely impact gunnery and accuracy.
They really need a NA server asap.[/QUOTE]
I play with 400ping and I find the game still great, it has some wicked netcoding.
This games bullshit never ceases to amaze me.
In my p-63 I dived from 4km onto a spitfire mk.ii that was landing. I didn't get him and decided to run with my 800km/h speed.
He caught up to me
wohoo! Reached rank 12 in the germans

is kamikaze bombing viable in ground strike?
I do not play the game

I might get it though if kamikaze bombing is viable

it isnt
I just climbed to altitude and caught up to a La-7 in my F4U-1d. I chased him all the way back to his base (Peleliu Domination) and set him on fire. He's about to explode. Then out of nowhere, he disappears right when he's about to blow and it says he quit the game. I get shot down right after, and I don't get the kill.
Seriously, what?
The Kittyhawk is AMAZING

I had my whole left wing destroyed and I still managed to shoot down 2 zeroes.

Yeah, that happens a lot with rage quitters recently. Happened to a B-24 I was chasing down in my Thunderbolt for a good few minutes then POOF.
I'm a masochist, so I was wondering if I were to reinstall thing would I still have all my old planes?
[editline]3rd March 2013[/editline]
Although I wouldn't be ~super~ bummed because now i know to dumb all my gold into XP.
Man, twice now I've be booted from a critically damaged plane when I could have easily landed it.
Yeah that is getting super annoying.

Could have easily landed it and there was no reason to bail.
Yeah, instead of booting you out immediately they give you 15 seconds even if it's still flyable. That shit gets really fucking old, really fucking quick.

He makes very good points about bombers and how they are not fun to play. Like that map, he just does the objective the entire time using bombers and in the end they win, but he isn't rewarded nearly as much as the fighters who just go around shooting other planes..
Holy fucking shit I wish it didn't take so long to level in this game. I just got to level 5 and I'm already sick of biplanes.
I'm saving all the cash for lvl 7 btw so I can get a Bf 109
It's all fun playing the beaufighter until a jap fighter hits you once and the plane literally implodes.
How does that even work?
[QUOTE=oakman26;39789446]he's kind of bad at bombing and ground attack though, i admit ground attack and bombers kind of suck right now still[/QUOTE]To add to this: Pillboxes. Fucking Pillboxes.

Every time someone ran into my wing as an SU-2, they keep getting cut in half and I walk away without a scratch.
Russian Planes are as tough and durable as Ukrainian Potatoes.

You can be wailing on a PE-2 with 2 20mm's and 2 30mm's, but if a BF109 strafes your wings for half a second you lose both of them and plummet into the sea. If theres one thing I've learned about this game, is that it makes no fucking sense.

He's right, bombers don't get shit for doing what they're supposed and are nothing but easy kills for the fighters.

play HB then, I've seen B-17's run right by the japs, sink a carrier and come straight back with 3-4 kills.

It really feels like this game is based off of dicerolls.
Why must games now be based around casualized diceroll bullshit?
I really don't understand the yak-7. Being shot by it at all tears my beaufighter a new asshole, but when I play mine even its cannon is a fucking peashooter.
[QUOTE=oakman26;39787832]its pretty bad when you fly level, switch to tail guns, and take out 3 enemy fighters flting straight behind you while they line up a shot
[editline]3rd March 2013[/editline]
and i cant wait to get the P-39[/QUOTE]
I can never seem to hit anybody when I manually control the gunners, I mean I'm a great fighter pilot but it's hard to shoot people behind you when it's completely impossible to see where your tracers are going against the white sky.
There are so many small and probably easy tweaks the devs could add to this game, I really hope the next patch takes advantage of that.
[sp]I'm also waiting for that B-29[/sp]
I feel like I'm probably not making it that easy on myself using a gamepad. Overall I like this though. It's a bit annoying when your wing just kind of dissappears because of a single burst while you pile rounds into a guy you're tailing. Also, is it just me or are higher-tier battles harder to do well in unless you have multiple planes of a similar tier? It seems like you'd basically be restricted to one death and then all you can do is throw planes with two .30 cal machine guns at people in various flavors of spitfire.
Level 4 with British planes. I already have a few complaints.
Biplanes weren't used in ww2 in such numbers. It's actually pretty ridiculous that you need to get to level 4 (with brits at least) till you have 5 decent planes. I'v kind of gotten myself loyal to the brits now and for the wrong reasons. I'm going to continue using british planes because i don't realy want to have to go through the "slow planes with one 7.7" again.
Biplanes just shouldn't be the starter planes. Biplanes should be like 'prestige' planes in which they're worse but they give you much more xp for kills and you get bragging rights for dominating the enemy with them. Really your first planes should be the early unlocks such as the hurricane 1
I disagree with the video on this page. Yes, bombers/ground attack planes should get more xp for ground kills. But they need more bombs. Or better bombs. Or faster reloading times (which wouldn't solve the problem outside of arcade battles) Or all of them. Just give me more explosives. I don't actually have any assault planes yet, but they probably need more explosives too.
At the start of some battles it would be nice to have everyone further forward.. maybe with the faster planes a little further behind. That way there's less staring blankly at the screen whilst you move nearer to the enemy and less of the 500mph planes hitting the battle 6 hours before the 300 mph planes. Some of you might like the suspense. i find it boring.
How do I make money in this game? I'm rank 7 german airforce and I just don't make any money...
I even lose money often..
