Ok, just tried doing that again in a fight, wasn't able to turn fast enough and crashed into a mountain.
Practice, practice.

thats the risk you take when you give up energy like that
what're you flying, out of cuiousity?
[QUOTE=maxumym;44859106]So I've recently discovered a maneuver for myself: when dogfighting, I drop the throttle to zero and then use that to turn better and when the enemy is in front of me, resume throttling.
So far it has been working quite well, how stupid is it in eyes of actually skilled players?[/QUOTE]
Easiest target in the world.

The Hayabusa and the A62M-N
[QUOTE=maxumym;44859371]The Hayabusa and the A62M-N[/QUOTE]
why on earth do you have to turn off your engines to turnfight in those? They out turn pretty much everything regardless of throttle setting
[editline]20th May 2014[/editline]
unless there have been some really fucked up flight model changes to them since I last played them
The Kawaii-43 got dicked in 1.39 I heard, though I haven't played it either.

For me, the only japanese planes where I've found I've really got to fiddle with engines to get good turning are the heavy fighters and the Hien
Everything else turns and dances like a dream compared to, say, the american fighters I use the other half of the time I'm playing
The only things I've ever legitimately had problems dealing with are the magic russian UFOs that have been repurposed into fighter craft, but russian game so hardly surprising and even then it's still usually 3-1 in my favor
Also the P-36, but I see those so rarely it's not really worth talking about

Whenever I see someone do that, I kick my nose way up and hit my WEP till I stall, then fall back down on them and obliterate them because they're moving insanely slow and are on the verge of a stall.

That usually makes you a great target as well; I've shot down countless people who for some reason climb above the furball and stall out, only for me to swoop by and snuff them for their stupidity.

I'd never pull a maneuver like that in a furball, ever. Only time I ever do that sort of stuff is during 1v1 dogfights.
did they fix ab rewards for rb battles yet?
So I just got team killed by a T-34-85 because I told him to "fuck off" after he rammed into my tank repeatedly and slowed my down (in a kv-2) to like 2 km/h because he couldn't just go around me.
Fucking piece of shit.

Your fault for not just shooting him the second he slowed you down

The only way to teach them is to punish them
if someone ever does the thing that WoT players do of moving in front of me to try and steal a kill, I will shoot their gunner dead and break the barrel of their tank
one pz4 has already tried it, and the only thing that stopped my wrath was the fact he exploded about 2 seconds afterwards

Except he was in a medium tank and I was a heavy he would have reported me for TKing and then TK'd me when he respawned.
What's the difference between the p51 models?

Reporting for teamkilling doesn't really do shit
[QUOTE=aydin690;44862208]What's the difference between the p51 models?[/QUOTE]
All 3 are pretty much the same, the 2nd and premium P-51s are later variants.

nothing worth noting.
SU-122P best tank
Why would I want a SU-122P when the 100mm is a better gun?
[editline]21st May 2014[/editline]
-> Vertical guidance on the SU-122P "-2 degrees"

The first P-51D has no fin fillet on the base of the vertical fin, but I have no idea if it affects handling as much as it did IRL.

I once tracked my BT7 just outside the spawn zone going down an incline and even though there was a tank and half's worth of space on the road next to me, some shit head in ausf c just slams into the side of me and continuously rams me down the hill instead of just going around like everyone else did.
I called him an asshole and tracked him as he tried driving away and he just kept saying "lol you were in my way" completely ignoring the prospect of simply driving the fuck around.
[QUOTE=Valdor;44863027]-3 isn't that much better[/QUOTE]
it's 50% better :eng101:
[editline]21st May 2014[/editline]
Or I might just go with Heavies or Mediums that get either of these guns with -5 (well, T-54 gets -4).
[editline]21st May 2014[/editline]
German TDs actually offer genuine advantages. SU-85M is the last good soviet TD.

256% Research point bonus (356% with premium) and 200% reward bonus.
Plus it's a long barreled 122mm with HE, APHE, and APHEBC
It rapes everything is super accurate and rakes in the dosh

Talisman on su100 is literally third the price of an su122p giving it the same research speed. The gun on su100 does everything the one on 122p does, and better. I would me maybe more sympathetic about silver lion gain if I wasn't sitting on almost 5M and had no use for them.
Wow I just checked out the implications of the 6-vehicle-requirement on my progress towards my first jet, which I left off at the P-51 about 6 months ago, prior to the implementation of this masochistic new research system. Looks like if I start grinding now I'll have an F9F by 2018!
T-34s one shot me
every fucking time
i've lost the past 4 games because every time there was a t-34 or two sitting on the cap points slaughtering anything that tried to hit it
