If you're ever tired of getting shot down or completely owned in some matches in a row, take a low tier seal club to the RU server. Anything American seems to confuse them.
Any pilot without a title is usually a free kill.
Nearly every pilot will gladly follow an energy fighter into a stall.
They don't know anything about american brownings.
Altitude bombers will divebomb.
People don't fire in bursts, and they certainly don't unjam their guns. You'll see chaikas with only one functioning gun by the time he is in range.
They think that the best way to shoot down a bomber is stay on it's tail.
Anything larger than their plane is percieved as a bomber, they will gladly face you, because russian lowtier bombers don't have guns.
They seriously don't know anything about american brownings.
Carrying is incredibly easy because both sides are equally stupid.
Implying Americans or really most people anywhere know anything about brownings.

And you will get rewards for things you can't remember doing, you were just shooting the planes that were stalling, landing and flying too slow and low.

It's [B]that[/B] bad. i just fully upgraded a wildcat in one match.

[QUOTE=Doom14;45538977]I aced the 9U.
Don't play it. It's got alright performance, but the armament is so anemic for it's tier. You can make it work, but the 9P and 9UT are just so much better and diverse.[/QUOTE]
9U is rank 4.3 compared to the 9UT's 5.7 with the exact same flight model, just different weaponry. 9P is heavier and trash, avoid it. 9UT is pretty okay. 9U dropped into Era 3 matches should be great, and if you think a fighter is bad purely based on the guns (2xberezin + 20mm is the same as the back of a Tu-2 which is FINE) you are doing something wrong.

Not to mention BerezinUB is the best .50 class machinegun. The Ground Targets ammo is completely magical and the bane of engine blocks, pilots, and wing spars.
[editline]30th July 2014[/editline]
On the other hand, imho, Yak-3 is more fun to fly than Yak-9U, with quite a bit of extra ammo on the Berezins. Then again, then there's Yak-3P at the same rank as Yak-9U and that just takes everything to school.
[editline]30th July 2014[/editline]
I really wish Russians ever tried the American thing and built a plane with 6 Berezins and 350 RPG. That would be just amazing.

These two are almost as game-changing for me as the time I finally realised you could enable permanent ammo-counters on the UI.

[quote]BONGS: I'd avoid this. Paper Wellingtons and then an overtiered Lancaster with shit defensive armament.[/quote]
Beaufort is imho one of the best planes at it's rank and basically a pocket Tu-2. The tail double fiddy at the rank it's at is absolutely mortal and it's fast as hell on top of that.
[QUOTE=Dermock;45541029]well that sucks ;_;
is premium worth it or just junk?[/QUOTE]
If you're playing full Brits and are really enjoying the game, consider picking up the premium Typhoon pack. You'll get a couple weeks premium, some geagles for more premium afterwards and the Typhoon Mk 1B is a really solid plane; it climbs well, gets good speed and the 4*20mm Hispano armament puts it in "point and click adventure" territory.

wow uh I feel really stupid asking, given that Ive been playing this game since the closed beta, but you can unjam your guns?
I always thought you had to land and rearm to unjam them :v:
[editline]e[/editline]
like I know pilots could do it IRL, but I always assumed it wasnt modeled in game for whatever dumb reason lol
Is there some magical spot you're meant to hit light pillboxes with when flying the PBJ? Half my shells seem to just whizz straight through the pillbox and do fuck-all.
[editline]a[/editline]
I've also tried shooting at the ground they're sitting on instead of aiming for the pillbox itself, just in case the "no hit-box" thing applies to cannon also, but still no success.
For seal clubbing my two favorites are the F2A and the He-112A0

Do the complete fucking retards apply to tanks on the RU server as well? I could use some good clubbing to turbogrind tanks.
got me a spitfire! Its a negligible upgrade to my hurricane, but oh well, loads of nice planes on my brit squad now. No more must I suffer shitty biplanes!
how the hell do I regain airspeed on the F86
as soon as I pull a maneuver to pull away from a diving mig/cl13, another mig at the same altitude jumps on my tail and instagibs me because I was flying slower than mach 1 at 1000m alt
[editline]damn[/editline]
I feel that it's uberhard to regain airspeed on the F86 especially when there's a cluster of planes swarming around you
I was sleeping you cunts, so I couldn't respond.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;45541353]At least in CARB, I manage to regularly kill King Tigers and such with Tu-2/B-25 100kg bombs, and I seriously doubt I always get a direct hit, it's not really hard at all.
[editline]30th July 2014[/editline]
With a 250kg bomb you can get a 3x kill on tanks that are good ten meters apart from each other.[/QUOTE]
I'm talking about the AI units. I've seriously never had a 100kg "splash" anything unless it's basically making out with the model or it was a light tank. CBT is extremely different for bomb damage and I don't expect new players to dive into combined battles. In it, you can move all the damages up one notch because I've killed tanks easily even with the Ju-87's twin 50kg drops. An unchallenged late Yer-2 can basically just circle around the map killing everyone with 100kgs because they don't require the accuracy they do with AI units.

The issues I had with it was the absurd compressibility when going fast combined with how much I was spoiled by magic 37mms. Unlike the next two planes in the series that get upgrades, this one's best left to raw fighting fighters whereas everything (cept the Yak-3) from the 9T onward can fuck with fighters [I]and[/I] pap bombers out in a few hits. My memory of playing it is a bit of a blur, but I'll eventually have to go back if I want to get the really simple needless skins on it so we'll see.

I mentioned that. It's a great plane, but it's bomb load always left a little to be desired after having played the SB-2M and Ju-88A-4. It works better as as gunship than it does a bomber. But you might as well stop there because of the Wellingtons and Lancaster being mostly downhill. Except when tanks are added and you can drop a 4000lbs bomb with a 10 second timer next to some poor heavy tank sod.
Yes, I can't wait for Brits to get tanks, Wankcaster will definitely be THE comedy hurr option in British aviation.
[editline]30th July 2014[/editline]
Besides, later British tank design was great even tho the low ranks will be pain.

Acceleration is improved, turns better, is faster and better rate of climb. Other than that, no big difference.
[QUOTE=doomsniper;45544243]Acceleration is improved, turns better, is faster and better rate of climb. Other than that, no big difference.[/QUOTE]
Hurri out-turns a Spit but Spit locks up less at high speeds. Either way Spit is better.

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;45544629]Man, can't wait for that Matilda.[/QUOTE]
Crusader, Cromwell, and Comet for me.
British tanks are really interesting because they had such silly ideas for what makes a good tank. They'll probably have the most variety in their tanks and an interesting endgame to boot. I do worry about how the infantry tanks will get treated by MM though. When a tank relies entirely on its armor to make it good, it'll either be totally worthless or an unstoppable monster with very little in between depending on what it's up against. It's hard to balance something like that.

I guess that explains why the Yak-9T wound up to be quite adequate at tank busting.
When this patch goes live, we need to try these squads:
4 x ZSU-37
4 x Whirblewind
2 x Whirblewind + 2 x Ostwind
4 x ZSU-57-2
