Usually I would state that there's far better than that, but this really isn't the thread for it, and I really shouldn't have admitted it. :v:
[QUOTE=Araknid;46094257]B-25 is actually fun as fuck when you have the crew on ace and the gunners completely leveled up. You just fly in a straight line and watch as everything around you gets set on fire[/QUOTE] Is this the same way for the PBJs too?
[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;46097417]Is this the same way for the PBJs too?[/QUOTE] Yes exact same defensive armament but you have front guns go use them fight like a warrior
[QUOTE=Shibbey;46097623]Yes exact same defensive armament but you have front guns go use them fight like a warrior[/QUOTE] Both the PBJ and the B-25 have five forward-firing .50 cals, controlled by the pilot. But only the PBJ have also a 75mm gun. B-25s are bomber interceptors. Load them with ground target belts, and you'll be killing gunners and engines in no time.
PBJ is missing two single-gun emplacements compared to the B-25. But you have more .50 ammo for your front guns and a GODDAMN 75mm DICK CANNON, so who cares?

B-25J-20 has 6 forward firing .50s and a .50 turret in front. PBJ-1H has 8 forward firing .50s and a 75mm cannon. PBJ-1J has 12 forward firing .50s, which might as well be two Mustangs concentrated in the nose.

So.... War Thunder has added killstreaks then.
Ehhhhhh, I'm really not sure about this. It's going to be more or less impossible to come back from a game your team is losing now. That's always been my issue with killstreaks--they just make it easier for good players to stomp bad ones.
Arcade has always been about one team kicking the royal shit out of the other. What the [B]fuck[/B] Gaijin
Then there's also the fact that now you're forced to play against planes, even if they're ~killsteaks~. Should be fun to see how everyone abuses the new system.
Quick, everyone move to realistic and sim mode! Do it for your own good!
[QUOTE=GussGriswold;46098839][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lxGAyPltTo&feature=youtube_video_deck[/media] So... This is interesting.[/QUOTE] Remove heavy bombers, put attackers to 3/4 kills, add streak-breaker bonus, and honestly I would switch to arcade tanks.
[QUOTE=Teippiman;46094739]I hope people do notice that the B-17 was one of the most heavily armored bombers in ww2 and it was pretty common that they got torn to shreds and still able to return to base[/QUOTE] yea and keep in mind that over 25% of all B-17's made were shot down, and thats just the ones used in Europe. Also keep in mind that the Army Air Force had one of the highest casualty rates of the war because B-17 crews were butchered like cattle in the air [editline]28th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=GussGriswold;46098839][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lxGAyPltTo&feature=youtube_video_deck[/media] So...

[QUOTE=GussGriswold;46098839][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lxGAyPltTo&feature=youtube_video_deck[/media] So... This is interesting.[/QUOTE] No multi-spawn tanks? More annoying, untouchable planes insta-gibbing you? No thanks.
Can someone explain to me how this matchmaking works (Note: on Realism)? Is it to what planes you have? To what tanks your buddies have? I don't get it.
Okay wow... never imagined this was their solution to getting SPAAs something to shoot at
[QUOTE=Leintharien;46100948]Can someone explain to me how this matchmaking works (Note: on Realism)? Is it to what planes you have? To what tanks your buddies have? I don't get it.[/QUOTE] In CARB it takes the highest ranking unit in your lineup, and if you are playing in a squad I'm pretty sure it just takes the highest rank and uses it for everyone
I would rather have them limit artillery strikes to light tanks and only allow it to be used once, keep multiple tank spawns, and focus on improving and expanding the gameplay mechanics for ground forces like giving tanks their proper gun sights and making heavy tanks generally funner to play. Also I can see this forcing more people into realistic and simulator battles.
[QUOTE=Trooper0315;46101500]In CARB it takes the highest ranking unit in your lineup, and if you are playing in a squad I'm pretty sure it just takes the highest rank and uses it for everyone[/QUOTE] It takes the average of your top 3 planes if i'm not mistaken.
Does the premium P-51 have M3's?
Has anyone managed to get smaa working for this game?
[QUOTE=Teippiman;46102675]Does the premium P-51 have M3's?[/QUOTE] No. How would they ever balance that?

Reason why I'm not really into GF in the first place is because how easy it is to dominate the ground from the air. Seriously, 20k lion scores every single round in RB :/ Also folks who just got destroyed on the ground respawning in TU-2's and B-25's immediately dive on the place they got killed from. 9/10 times they are successful and voilah the other guy spawns as a fighter to take revenge on that guy. Half the time I see AI taking points instead of actual players because they are too bussy taking revenge.
[QUOTE=Teippiman;46102675]Does the premium P-51 have M3's?[/QUOTE] No. M2s are better anyway.
