[QUOTE=Sunkite;45370021]My god that gift Peshka prints money like nothing else.
After 1½ day of casual playing on and off, I've researched 3 planes and made almost 1 million creds.
And the Typhoon is the only brit plane I've had fun in so far (call me weird if you must, but I dislike the british planes)
Money well spent![/QUOTE]
Tell me your Peshka secrets. All I can manage to do in it is miss all of my rockets and maybe kill a couple bots with the tail gun.

Don't use rockets, they're placed very very wide on the wing and the accuracy got nerfed massively probably because whiny combined arms players. Use the 6x100kg loadout and dive bomb.

Either use the 2x250 + 4x100 or the 6x100kg loadout.
find tank/AAA column.
Dive/do a low carpet bombing.
Watch the creds flow in.
And if you can lure an AI plane/dumb player to stay right behind you at 30-40 meters, make them remember how deadly a 12.7mm firing APIT actually is.
Seriously, the Peshka's tail gunners are deadly, one short burst usually sets whatever thats behind you on fire when aiming for the engine.
Or their wing gets ripped off.
Oh, and abuse the fuck out of those airbrakes. Either to gain stability in a dive or make competent players overshoot you, so you can light them up with all the APIT ammo you of course loaded in your guns.

Is this a known bug? Because that plane shouldn't be a thing I can get.

Why wont [t] tags work with a steam screenshot link?
EDIT: Now it works again. Wat.
The general shittiness of the late (and early) 109s that aren't the G2 is astounding.

So you're saying the F4 is bad? If so, thats just plain wrong.

Think he's talking about all the 109s after the G2, which are actually really bad.
Pretty much any 109 that isn't the G2 or the F4 isn't worth coming back to after you've used it for what you needed it for.

F-1 just barely doens't fight reserves and it almost flies like an F-4. F-2 can bust tanks. E-1 has a gorillion ammunition for setting fire to things. G-10 is shit stock but imo its pretty good once you're upgraded.
F-2 is fun just for the insanity of 15mm API(c) ammo. Tanks? No problem. Light pillboxes? Ded.
I find it pretty bullshit how the JagdPanther has only one life.
I can understand it when talking about the Elephant/Ferdinand since it's just humongous, but the JPanther has only mobility and a very good gun, while the armor doesn't do much against most of the thing it faces.

The F4 used to be so much better too.

I love my crew.
I have 28 hours in this game and a grand total of 24 air kills. I am not very good.
I call them freedom flaps.

Get a B25 with 100% gunners and rack up the kills.

this fucking map
Hey War Thunder guys, was wondering if there is anyone willing to recruit a newbie to their squad. I am finding difficult to play with just the bi-planes, is there anyway or strategy where i can get to real fighters such as spitfires and ect? Thanks in advanced
[editline]13th July 2014[/editline]
I also have a problem where I feel like im not contributing enough to the games, I lose every game i go into, I get constantly shot down by better planes. Its kinda frustrating
I got my first jet :dance:

it depends what nation you're playing, honestly. At least back in my reserve days, I spent a lot of my learning time in the russian planes because they're, honestly, super cheesy compared to the other nation's, and a lot more forgiving of general newness, at least until I got the hang of the game and could use other planes (god help you if you try to play japan right off the bat, their reserves are some of the worst in the game and I'd advise highly against it)
but really, for simple, generally-useful tips, always try to have an altitude advantage on your opponents, so climb early and often, fire in bursts to conserve ammo and prevent your guns overheating, and just try and spend your low tiers getting a handle on leading targets well and not crashing into things, that sort of stuff.
snip Warthunder part 1 XD

is it just me or bringing my zeroes to a mig/sabre fight in arcade slightly amusing?
I fly low altitude and as soon as I see a high tier jet closing in on me from 2 kilometers, I simply turn under the jet and snicker as he harmlessly passes over me at mach 1
I've turned into jets using that method (after they pass) and I've shot down more jets using my zeroes than my sabre

Don't worry, you'll get better.
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;45379151]The F4 used to be so much better too.[/QUOTE]
It used to be a blatantly overpowered anti-gravity bullshit machine. It's still one of the best planes in Era 3, outclassed only really by the Ki-84.

You don't know the meaning of the word "Amusing" till you bring a Po-2 into a jet fight.
or in more seriousness, a P-38 against 109 K-4's and Ta-152's.
They need to change Carpathians.

isn't that the one where Bf109 pilots had a hard time killing because the Po2's maximum speed was well below the stall speed of Bf109s so basically 109s would overshoot while Po2 pilots pulled a simple evasive maneuver
speaking of which, I dragged my tier 3 friend into a sabre/mig game and he kept slaying those pesky superjets using Russian tier 3s
so far the only jets(?) that were able to reliably shoot us down with one pass is like the Me163 because holy shit those things maneuver well
[editline]14th July 2014[/editline]
also doing terribly with the sabre in both realistic and arcade
help, what are good sabre tactics
