[QUOTE=O'Neil;45566298]Rather Japanese tanks be a tack on for the Germany tree like the Italian planes.[/QUOTE]
I wonder if we'll get Italian tanks later too.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;45566294]is this conjecture or has this been confirmed[/QUOTE]
I am 99% certain the developers said this, I'll see if I can find it for you.
[quote]American tanks are planned to be next up, with Britain and Japan following, however that could change at any point :)
We currently don't know when American tanks will be with us.[/quote]
That's just some senior moderator. I know a Q&A or something somewhere answered it.
I wish they did Brits before Americans, I think it's probably more of demographics decision rather than content one. Brits fielded more and mainly more varied designs than Americans, it's just that American kids pump more money into the game than Brits do.

They apparently also added: Go 229, Kitsuka, R2Y2, Yak-1 and Yak-9 to dev. So I'll find cockpit/models of them if I can.
Here's the Go 229, I missed it, but the same guy who posted the Tigercat posted it:

All the others have no cockpit, and thus no pretty looking model. Normal models get inverted in the asset viewer for some reason. Cockpit always seems to work fine.
Here's a Ki-43 I guess:

Aren't the F7F and Ki-83 basically tied in performance?
Ki-83 has two twenties, two thirties.
F7F has four twenties, four fiddies.
I kinda want the Hornet though, but I don't trust Gaijin after how the Mosquito handles now.
Ki-83 is FASTER than it and has better power:weight ratio which is infinitely more important than guns. F7F will win if they both go into a head-on but it's kind of a phyrric victory.

well it's not about it being better than the F7F. it's about how any of these planes stack up to the fighters they're going to be facing.
you're going to need to be what the beaufighter is to era II or what the A20 was in order to do fucking anything, otherwise you're just gonna die immediately because gaijin have been knocking the piss out of every twin engine plane to the point where most of them are just frustrating to fly.

I find the 410 to generally do a good job, but that's only because Russia and US have no shortage of bombers in most matches at its BR.
so uh
how the fuck do you do arcade tank battles? I pretty much play only realistic and simulator battles (which arent efficient for this challenge) and I feel like Im getting one-shotted constantly and am somehow performing [I]worse[/I] in arcade than I do in the other modes.

You buy a T60, equip APCR and play "Who Can Find The Weakspot First?".
Does the britsh premium mustang see jets?

Alternatively, you pick up any tank with an autocannon and wave your mouse around in circles until your target dies.
Where the hell do I am on the t-34? Whenever I hit one, I only get "undamaged".

Drivers hatch, turret face, turret face shot trap (that part that curves inward at the bottom of the turret). If you're in a 38t load PZG40s, get point blank and go for the sides.
This game is beautiful at times, but why the fuck doesn't the replay have a rewind function? Miss a spot and you have to do all of it over agian.

i think this is what the russians see. it would certainly explain a lot of my interaction with them.

Rewind option is complicated-ish to implement because as it works in most games, the game just saves the bulk of the "how are things happening" data regarding vehicle positions and vectors and such, but all effects like smoke trails and other stuff are calculated again as the game "plays" the replay. It's not hard to slow or pause the effects, but rewinding them would require quite extensive changes to the graphics engine itself and other things so, at best, a simple-ish solution would be to just make the entire replay reload and invisibly run up until the spot before the current one but that is obviously only feasible for rather big hops as it's quite resource intensive.
TL;DR, it's not easy to make a rewindable replay viewer and imho they have more important stuff to deal with.

I like the Kawaii-45s. Beau X is still good, Mossie still good, P-38 still good, Pe-3/E is really good (especially in sim holy shit), 410s especially the B6 are good. Sea Jesus has two engines I guess and that's good.

The fuck did you just say, son?
[editline]2nd August 2014[/editline]
Jokes aside, Mossie is the one twin engine plane that got hit hard, other than that everything else is some degree of decent and while they definitely take more skill and dedication to handle than generic fighters, all heavy fighters in the game are quite decent right now.
F-82 is the only one that's really fucked (Mossie is overtiered for 1942 plane but whatever man) but that plane will go from flying like an anvil to flying like a limply thrown brick don't expect anything impressive of it unless you want to use it as a bomber.
What exactly did they do to twin-engine planes? And why?
Nothing, people just expect twin engine heavy fighters to be able to always easily compete with actual fighters.
Most heavy fighters are great, just difficult to use effectively. Pe-3s climb like shit but handle excellently at 2km and below (which is why they are so good in sim), Beaus roll badly and don't keep energy well but are extremely agile and fast, 410s are pretty much dedicated bomber busters but their high alt performance is good and free airstart, and Ki-45s are just perfect I dunno why more people don't fly them.
Bf 110 is outright OP right now

I'm wondering how long until someone invents a super-tank-jump exploit akin to UAV launching in World of Tanks.
