I've just started playing this game some days ago, and I love it!
One thing I don't understand though, is the gunners on attacker and bomber planes. Especially on the bombers.
The bomber I'm usin atm, is the Russian SB 2M-100 bomber plane. When an enemy gets on my tail, I fly straight and switch to my gunner, where I will continously shoot him, but it doesn't seem to affect them? I can only shoot for somewhat 6-9 seconds before I run out of ammo, and then I have to wait 1:30-2 minutes(!!!???). Sometimes it also say the target is in dead-zone, even though it's VERY clear I can shoot him there, which I even did seconds ago.
Is the plane just horrible or what? Should I let the gunners shoot themselves?

Rear guns have some serious drop problems, look for the tracers

How far away was he? If hes 75ish away I wouldnt bother to shoot only in short bursts.
[QUOTE=lilguy;39845955]And sadly, ONLY the first JU87.[/QUOTE]
I didn't even know that. Sadly it also seems to be client side, because I've never heard the sound in game. Had to see for myself.

Mother of god.
Never heard anything like that when chasing Stukas in a dive.

You'll figure out that gunners are only effective when they're used against you. The gunner on my ME-410 doesn't even try anymore, he fires maybe 30 shots a round and I don't even bother trying to gun for him.

I just start shooting at them once they get into my range.

Yeah, I've noticed it doesn't help shooting in the direction of the little circle... The conrtols also feel a lot more wonky when you're controlling the gunners.
Sadly it is clientside only.
But it doesn't make it any less awesome in a formation

Oh man that sucks, so does the fact that its clientside only
I hope they do it for the rest and make it serverside, it will be so sweet for when tanks/ships come out.
Imagine, fighting some intense tank battle and then you hear that noise.
maaaan
I can never get people off my tail, no matter how much I try and maneuver.
Oh man I just unlocked the F4U-1c. That tears anything apart.
Also,

How do you pull back the camera when you are in cockpit view? That ju-87 looks like it it was a bigger FOV than default.
Kinda sick of people ramming me and then landing safely after I've been sent crashing to the ground wingless, or died instantly in the air.

Or what about having landed safely while people try and ram you? With bullets and rockets too!

Sorry
okay
Landing in Arcade in this game makes me miss IL-2, because vulching is the easiest way to get a kill. That or shooting a few bursts at a Wellington.
Gah, 6 Stalingrads in a row, Goddamn

Isn't it because it's said that only the early war stukas had this?
[editline]yea[/editline]
yeah, the later ones don't even have the tiny "proppelers", so that's the reason.

Have they only recently changed the sirens to be client side because back in the closed beta my friend could hear the sirens when I was diving.

What's a good premium plane? preferably russian
Just bought a blenheim and I can't play in it, whenever I try use it in a battle it says 'Aircraft not ready'
never used it before
Bombers need more bombs. At least twice as many.
[QUOTE=The Jack;39855010]Bombers need more bombs. At least twice as many.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, whats the point in that Tu2 or whatever the russian tier 9 is if it can only drop 2 250kgs at a time?
Might as well use one of the american planes
ALSO, is the G50 really OP or is that some kind of joke

It's a massive joke
Speaking of low rank German stuff, I finally got my first 109 and I'm glad that I'm not stuck in these jokes for airplanes when I want to play as Germany.

Tu2 also has a bunch of 20mm's unlike other bombers like the Wellington. So you use the bombs to take out hard target and either go soft target hunting or bomber hunting.

Isn't that more of an attacker like role?
[QUOTE=Crumpet;39857854]Isn't that more of an attacker like role?[/QUOTE]
Not always, I use my A-20 to hunt down bombers while I'm waiting for my bombs to reload. Might as well do some easy money earning while your waiting to bust more bunkers.
i'm new to the game.
which airplane should i aim for? i honestly have no idea.
