If they're working on a RADAR system hopefully that means nightfighting would be more of a thing after, especially if they start releasing nightfighter variants and planes such as the P-61.
Why does the Ki-61 hei have the BR of tier 4 planes when its a tier 3?
[QUOTE=kiloy;45503870]Why does the Ki-61 hei have the BR of tier 4 planes when its a tier 3?[/QUOTE] BR doesnt have to do with tier. has to do with plane performance. That plane 2x20mm cannons, and is pretty good. [editline]26th July 2014[/editline] It's like you didn't look at any other tier 3 plane in the entire game to see that they mostly all have 4.0+ br as well [editline]26th July 2014[/editline] Liek woah man why does this jet have br 9? There isn't even a tier 9 in the game mann
[QUOTE=doomsniper;45503174]Fuck that shit, play to shoot people down. Honestly the only reason I even play this game. I got my most wanted plane pretty much straight out the door (P-40E). Everything else was just extra.[/QUOTE] The P-40E is a beast. Shitload of ammo, can take a lot of punishment and it can be quite maneouvrable. It never gets old to take a bomber head on, kill everyone in the cockpit, pull a barrel roll and avoid the incoming wreck by an inch.
Whys my game look like this in cockpit mode only? [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/580154602849797265/0BCAED3DB14D05C29F68832C184E9C1D291FC73C/[/t]
[QUOTE=notrabies;45501849]iirc it outperforms the sabre in the same way that the sabre outperforms the Mig-15, so you're left with a plane that has literally no equal competitor.[/QUOTE] Bullshit. Yeah, the CL-13 does outperform F-2, but not by a wide margin. It climbs better and has more energy to spare, but at cost of having a bit lower top speed as well as not having the F-2 cheat guns. It's a fair tradeoff with the F-2 Sabre and all yanks who claim otherwise are just spoiled from clubbing everything effortlessly in F-2 sabre prior. Both F-2 sabre and CL-13 gonna be in deep shit once Hunter is added. Not sure what could save Russia and Japan, tho. As long as Gaijin refuses to add the afterburning MoG-17 and as long as nobody retcons Japan's sad post war history, these countries will be just fucked.
[QUOTE=ChloeBlackSythe;45502958]It seems like its hell to get to the jet stage of war thunder, im still stuck with propellor planes, any tips?[/QUOTE] Grind, wait for Golden Eagle events to earn some then use them to get a few days premium if you're financially stingy.
[QUOTE=notrabies;45501849]iirc it outperforms the sabre in the same way that the sabre outperforms the Mig-15, so you're left with a plane that has literally no equal competitor.[/QUOTE] The CL-13 is an upgrade over the F-Sabre in the same way the F-Sabre was an upgrade over the CL-13, but more of an upgrade over the F-40 that isn't in game (and actually is the version used by the JSDF, not the F-30). The F-40 has a redesigned wing that restores the agility of the A-5 combined with the speed and all that jazz of the F-25/F-30. On top of that it has some crazy Canadian engine that gives it stupid acceleration and climb. The CL-13 does have a slightly fatter body with worse aerodynamics, but that only serves to make the plane a tiny bit faster, rather than significantly faster. When both are fully upgraded, the only advantage the F-Sabre has over the CL-13 is that in a sustained shallow dive it will accelerate slightly quicker. And I really mean slightly, an extra km/h every few seconds or so. The [I]other[/I] problem of the CL-13 is that, if it were swapped to the USA side to face MiG-15s, it out-does the MiG-15s in the ways the MiG-15s are supposed to beat the Sabre! It out climbs them, out accelerates them, and it's quicker at high altitudes. tl;dr it was a fucking mistake to add it [editline]26th July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Awesomecaek;45504144]Bullshit.

Swift would've been better because it's like two tons heavier than the next plane and would hold energy for zooms so fuckin well.
[QUOTE=Skwee;45503028]Just wondering cuz i saw this video [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c-vJ9gVJm0[/hd][/QUOTE] Only 45 bombs? How about 43 tons. :v: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9CWQNZRF8&feature=player_detailpage#t=413[/url] And yeah, balance, etc.

5.7k RP and 48k lions, and I miss out on the daily 5x.

[img]http://www.hyperscale.com/2007/reviews/kits/images/zvezda4801reviewbg_1.jpg[/img] Saw it on the market yesterday, think I might buy it for the kicks.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;45504893]Ki-61 is amazing + Mg151 is amazing = Ki-61 Hei is (still) amazing.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but at 4.7 it encounters quad Hispano's. 2 MG151's aren't that great if you're fighting later planes with much better armament.
Sure, 151s might not be as great as Hispanos at the same tier, but it still hurts to get shot by them. Honestly, if you're even getting shot at in the Hei you're in trouble no matter what guns you have up front.
And you forget that compared to nippon's own guns mg151's may as well be firing laser beams for how effective they are The only real problem I have with the 61 is how fast it loses energy but other than that it's an amazing plane
[QUOTE=joost1120;45505054]Yeah, but at 4.7 it encounters quad Hispano's. 2 MG151's aren't that great if you're fighting later planes with much better armament.[/QUOTE] The only time you should be comparing direct gun damage is if you're in a head-on which you shouldn't be doing.
I can't believe that the I-153P has a 4.0 br. Its just not fair to the helpless me-410s
Lost connection to server after one assist.. At least I got my 5x :) Fucking kill me.
Huh, I knew they'd go for the twin 37mm one, but it's a bit of a shame. Those 37's aren't going to be competitive at all by the time you get a chassis like that. They coulda rolled with the 55mm option instead.

Then again, there's also strings for this lil' guy. [t]http://armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/WWII/T40/t40_3.jpg[/t] :v:

Wonder if the Skink will be included. It's very weird looking. [t]http://www.wwiivehicles.com/canada/tank-medium/ram/grizzly-skink-aa-01.png[/t] Only three were ever built though and it is Canadian. Maybe for Britain once they get there own ground forces?
How much you wanna bet that the American SPAA will be a halftrack with a quad M2 on the back?

Brits were far craftier with their own AAA having the Bofors and stuff, besides, it's on an American hull anyway.

the russians won the war :) german tech is obviously badder, gajiin actually buffed german tanks because otherwise tiger would be era II.
30d chat ban. I literally said; "Fuck". Then I awake the next day to find out I've been chat banned for 30 days. :rolleyes:
