[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46028839]That is the point.
If you don't shoot down 2-3 planes without getting shot down, you are underperforming by the plane's par and don't "deserve" a profit.[/QUOTE]
I don't know if you noticed but nippon cannons shoot paintballs.

Yeah, I admit, I might have not noticed that over all the B-17s and F-80Cs I have been sending to hell in the Ki-84 hei.

Well, i don't have hei and the 20mm cannons can't even tickle the fighters the death.
[QUOTE=aydin690;46028801]ki84's repair cost doesn't make any sense. You'd have to get 2-3 kills to break even. The hei version costs 2-3x more than jets to repair...[/QUOTE]
Because the Ki-84 is really easy to just not get shot down with. It's the best prop in the game.

Get closer before pulling the trigger.
so when 1.43 comes out, will the cluster fuck of AI planes in ground battles return?
[QUOTE=angelangel;46030043]so when 1.43 comes out, will the cluster fuck of AI planes in ground battles return?[/QUOTE]
What's happening in 1.43 that'd cause that? Are they re-adding the original ground-only battles with AI planes?
If so, that'll be awesome - I've got a couple friends that like RB tanks, but just prefer AB because they're not really interested in planes and they don't have to worry about getting insta-killed by bombs.

To be honest 20mm cannons ARE kinda fucked right now but that applies to all of them and it's an issue since the GRAND DM PATCH earlier this month or so.

I thought with all the new SPAAs, they'd have something to shoot at.

I'm aware most of them are fucked (or to be more accurate, plane damage models are fucked) but brown-nosing your targets can only help.

Somehow I feel guilty doing this to people.. especially at match-start when I see a heavy parked up somewhere.. nose dive my 190 with 500kgs of pure BLITZ right onto that poor sod.
I haven't noticed too many problems with my 20mm's lately honestly
Granted HEF-T's seem to have been degraded to confetti cannons but most of my ground attack belts still seem to work just fine
although getting glanced by a single 7.7 from a Lancaster and having my Shiden's wing disintegrate was a bit odd, but that's fighting bombers in this game for you
I think I'd actually rather play my Boston bomber at BR 5.0 than the Wellington Mk X.
Fuck this plane so much.

Depends on which planes you're facing. You mostly fight the US and you're either clubbing p63 and F4U teams or you're getting clubbed by p51s and bearcats.

Ki-84 Ko can't meet Bearcats. Otsu and Hei absolutely ravage them.

Queue at odd times, last night i got matched with a couple of n1ks against a bunch of bearcats and p51s (2am, NA server). We all got clubbed.
On my way home from work today I saw a F-22 flying in formation with a F-86, P-51 and a P-47. And my god, the F-22 is huge. Even the F-86 looked small in comparison. Hope I can get some good pictures of them tomorrow.

The match-maker won't go over the +/- 1.0 BR difference limit just because there's not many players online, it'll just take longer to find you a match.
Just ask Awesomecaek about his T-54 queueing experience :v:
If anyone is familiar with World of Tanks and also plays War Thunder, is it worth trying out WT for the tanks alone?

It's imbalanced and buggy but it has the potential to be good. I would wait for the next patch.
[QUOTE=Error_404;46035629]If anyone is familiar with World of Tanks and also plays War Thunder, is it worth trying out WT for the tanks alone?[/QUOTE]
It got pushed out too early. The foundation is definitely there, and planes/tanks can be in the same match, but right now it feels like almost like an alpha instead of a beta. I guess in a way it's a beta of a beta.
Also, about them YB-40 and other B-17 Gunship modifications?

I must have been hallucinating then. I'm pretty sure there was a bearcat in the game too.

5 A2A kills in a 109 with gunpods, do those things even make a difference to the flight model or what?
I can feel the difference in a 190 though..

For the past 20 or so matches, I have died only to 109's and 190's. Nothing else. It's all I get put against.

It's doing the usual dumb shit where it goes up to 1.8 mb/s for about 15 seconds and then drops down to 25 kb/s. Pressing pause and then resuming lets it download quickly again until it drops and so on.

If you didn't try it already, try switching languages to Russian and so on. It did work for me few times.
disabling UTP in the launcher settings has stabilized the speed
