[QUOTE=Dutch;45453520]Woo, finally got my PBJ. Of course, the first match I took it out on, a Yak 9T put one burst into me and took both my wings and my tail off. Thank you, glorious vodka devs. :downs:[/QUOTE]
Every Yak-9 is a bomber's nightmare except the 9U. If he killed you so quickly he probably had anti-air loads in both guns, that's what I use and even Renzans can't stand that for very long. Doom14 is right, your best bet is to bait him/maneuver so your gunners have a clear shot. For some reason a lot of people don't understand that you need to pulp the gunners if you want to sit directly behind a bomber.
my gunners were busy penning letters to their wives
Holy shit. Just lit up a spitfire 7 times in my A6M5 Ko. He didn't even get a single damaged module. Yet I died to a random AAA shot.
I hate getting the short end of the stick and I can't wait to get the final Ki-84.
I bought the Dora pack because I was bored and 29 euro is fuck all in Norway. Ofcourse I didn't have a lot of high tier aircraft, so I bring a Bf110 C4 and a Do 217 J-1 in addition to the Fw 190 D-13.
But ofcourse, I can't start with the best aircraft, so I use the Bf110.
And proceed to carry, against aircraft three tiers over me :v: Didn't even get to try the fuckwolf.
Oh man. I was the last on my team, in an A6M5, while the enemy had a single Typhoon left. I baited him to park right up behind me, then I rolled hard and got next to him. Then he suddenly starts firing and my wing gets blown off. Even though I was coming in from his rear.
My ping wasn't even above 40...

Hit detection and lag compensation really is about the only thing I don't like about War thunder.
Yeah the hit detection is completely bollocks and worst is how badly it shows in tanks at times. You shoot the broadside of Panther with a 150mm penetration gun, get "Hit" marker, and that's all.
I once had a shell visibly ricochet off my T-44 (the tracer flew off into the air) yet it killed my entire crew.

I like when you're behind a hill, an enemy tank forward of your position fires, you see the tracer ricochet off the hill in front of you, and the sheer presence of the shell anywhere near your tank somehow renders it combat ineffective.
Germany 101
Is it Berlin?
Are you facing a time-traveling Allied/Soviet Team?
Did you somehow manage to kill a majority of the enemy team?
Is the last plane alive absurdly faster than what's left on your team?
Do you have no bombers left, or attack-capable aircraft, and aren't already winning via tickets by a country mile?
If you answered yes to all of these, you too can [I]get fucked[/I] courtesy of Gaijin. [I]Where map balance is only a thing if Germany/Japan loses automatically with no interference[/I][B]™[/B]

At least you're not in a Komet where not only are you going to autolose, but also be forced to pay ludicrous repair costs when you run out of fuel and are shot down while landing by an F80c pulling a constant 1000KM/h.
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;45448360]So it turns out the final tier of upgrades for the F80c cost the same as the last PBJ.
26000 rp.

Well to be honest, P-80A was complete dogshit, props could climb better than it.

You don't do sustained climbs in jets, though.

[QUOTE=demotech;45464421]Still, there was nothing good going for it.[/QUOTE]
Other than being able to maintaina straight line speed at which the Ki-84's wings rip off.

Well it is a jet after all, the other is a prop. P-80A can get outperformed by competent prop/jet players, but those are rare to find in HB :v:
I just got shot down by a Pe-2 Ai, I feel like such a loser :suicide:

What the fuck, they RAISED the 262's BR? Jesus.

Seemingly, they rolled back all the matchmaking changes and some other stuff right after the patch went live.

Also F-4 handles like a Spitfire under the new physics, don't use the gunpods like a dipshit and it's uber agile.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;45464820]Seemingly, they rolled back all the matchmaking changes and some other stuff right after the patch went live.[/QUOTE]
Considering that the BR changes were mostly [I]fuck Germany[/I] + minor tweaks; and that any change to grind rate has people flip shit due to the whole RP transition, I can't blame them for the backlash.
Best thing to come out of this patch is the new Mk 103 sounds, which are just [I]raw [B]liquid [U]sex.[/U][/B][/I]
[QUOTE=demotech;45464358]Oh my god, they reduced Bearcats BR too, haha.[/QUOTE]
I imagine this came from the same guy who thought the P-39 and P-63 needed to have thier BRs lowered
Beaufighter Mk.X is the new best thing.
