Do pillboxes and 250kg bombs contain some crazy reactive chemicals or something, because I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to explode like this. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Fu1VVGK.jpg[/t]
You should see light pillboxes when you hit them with the PBJ's 75mm. it's like a small nuke goes off too
[QUOTE=Ekalektik_1;45400922]Is the I-185 M71 any good? The M82 was ridiculous when it got introduced but I haven't seen that many M71s around and I'm usually able to kill them.[/QUOTE] At low altitudes at climbs at 30m/s. I shit you not, it fucking does. It makes it to 5000 meters in absolutely no time. I am pretty sure it's the single best climbing Soviet prop in the game. Other than that, it's basically identical to M82, and basically plays like a late Fockewulf - almost exclusive BnZ and abusing altitude advantage.

i don't get it why the F-84B has no rockets or bombs in the game

[editline]17th July 2014[/editline] Think it was the D model that was the known ground pounder. Going off vague memory.

Thanks!

There's something beautiful about german tanks I can't quite put my finger on it. Must be those angular and straight lines.

Wow, they're really rolling out those dev blog posts. Really makes me wonder what's coming up for 1.43.
[QUOTE=BananaMed;45408820]There's something beautiful about german tanks I can't quite put my finger on it. Must be those angular and straight lines.[/QUOTE] That's probably not it. Russian tanks' lines are just as straight and angular.
[QUOTE=joost1120;45409129]That's probably not it. Russian tanks' lines are just as straight and angular.[/QUOTE] Especially the fugly bobblehead cast turrets? They ruin the whole look. The only straight lines you will find on ruski tanks is the rooftop line. And the KVs.
[QUOTE=BananaMed;45409307]Especially the fugly bobblehead cast turrets? They ruin the whole look. The only straight lines you will find on ruski tanks is the rooftop line. And the KVs.[/QUOTE] Pretty much every Russian tank has straight lines everywhere on their hull. Their turrets are an exception, but to be honest, I prefer the smooth look of the T-34's turret over the big turd that is the Tiger's turret.

Maybe I worded it wrong but by straight lines I mean horizontal and vertical lines. Russian tanks are 90% angular. What are you doing man, the Tiger is one sexy beast, even though it's basically a giant box. [editline]16th July 2014[/editline] Also, Wirbelwind when?
I want to like Tiger but I can't get over how shit piece of bad design it is. A bit similar but much much sexier design is the Comet [img]http://www.primeportal.net/tanks/images/a34_comet.jpg[/img]
Funny, because I can't stand British tanks in general :v:
Sadly the most iconic British tank is the Churchill which indeed looks like shit but Cromwell and Comet are pretty sweet.
I like the Archer and Centurion. [editline]16th July 2014[/editline] And Crusader also doesn't look bad.
Oh jeez. Thought I was flying my Ki-84 in realistic, turns out it swapped to my A6M5 without me noticing. No wonder I had a hard time gaining distance and altitude over that B-17. And no wonder I died to a fire.
Why i'm always against Ki-84 in my P-40?

[QUOTE=Teippiman;45410004]Why i'm always against Ki-84 in my P-40?[/QUOTE] Why am I always against P80's and 8 F8F's in my Ki-84?
[QUOTE=demotech;45410105]From what I know, they should add all of this.

Though, that might be only be granted because Gaijin is also rolling out a bunch of tanks as well.
