[QUOTE=Shibbey;46184110]Because then they're not obliged to launch it if suddenly a game breaking bug comes up and a slightly smaller number of nerdes will get mad[/QUOTE] I am not talking specifically of that particular response. Like when they did the big Q&A threads with lammar or whatever his name is, loads of his responses had probably and most likely in the answers. It's like them giving the illusion of a Q&A without actually answering the majority of the questions. Also: [URL]http://warthunder.com/en/news/885-Maintenance-9th-October-0700---1000-GMT-en[/URL]
It is time.
Canberra here I come.
[QUOTE=Teippiman;46184193]What's up with the hate towards the P-80? I know it's slow, sometimes runways aren't long enough, uses all the energy when turning blah blah blah. I think it's pretty good for a low tier jet and it's pretty agile while flying at 400km/h[/QUOTE] It also sucks butt at climbing and accelerating so its slow, has awful energy retention, cant climb, cant accelerate in the air or on the ground, and has a poopstain stripe on the nose even if it was kind of agile at low speeds, if you have that little energy in a jet battle (especially a jet battle in a P-80), you are never getting it back and are fucked the second someone with an energy advantage comes along. LITERALLY its only redeeming feature is that it sees prop planes most of the time (which often outperform it)

I mean yeah it's very good at straight lines but that's kind of repetitive to play and requires more discipline than I have
I really hope they offer the Panzer II H in something other than the $80 super bundle. Because fuck, it's a really fun tank. Like a T-50 / Panzer III amalgamation.

[QUOTE=BBOOBBYY!;46185134]And then you realise that you're being outperformed by a Yak-15.[/QUOTE] It's not [I]that bad[/I]. The Yak-15 is a whole 'nother level of shit. It handles like an Era 2 plane. Besides, P-80A is getting buffed next patch.
Really p-80 getting buff? Also the first ki-84 is simply awesome.
With 1.43 almost here, I have a question. Will the 3000kg bomb the IL-28 gets be capable of one-shotting a base?
[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;46186943]With 1.43 almost here, I have a question. Will the 3000kg bomb the IL-28 gets be capable of one-shotting a base?[/QUOTE] Just looking at equivalency in terms of 1000lb bombs, yeah it should.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46186961]Just looking at equivalency in terms of 1000lb bombs, yeah it should.[/QUOTE] it's actually overkill by quite a lot, considering that one of the 4000lb bomb can one hit a base and if I remember correctly it takes what? 6 1000lb bombs to do the same job? so in reality it could one hit [B]two[/B] bases worth of hitpoints I think. aside from dropping a Nuke on the Player Tank Arena, there really isn't actually any practical use for the [B][U]F[/U][/B]ucking.

[QUOTE=goon165;46187059]it's actually overkill by quite a lot, considering that one of the 4000lb bomb can one hit a base and if I remember correctly it takes what? 6 1000lb bombs to do the same job? so in reality it could one hit [B]two[/B] bases worth of hitpoints I think.[/QUOTE] My numbers may be really off from reality, but in terms of 250kg bombs or bigger (500kg/1000lbs definitely), I remember base health being 3000kg in Arcade and 1500kg in Realistic. So a 3000kg bomb is insane overkill in RB. Insane insane. You're better off with smaller ones unless you want to royally fuck someone in combined arms. (3000kg w/ 10 second timer next to King Tigers. Aww yis.)
[QUOTE=Doom14;46187181] (3000kg w/ 10 second timer next to King Tigers. Aww yis.)[/QUOTE] Oh no Tovarish it is not bomb! it is supply drop!
[QUOTE=goon165;46187190]Oh no Tovarish it is not bomb! it is supply drop![/QUOTE] I've been wanting to do this with Cookie (aka detached oil tanker) bombs since fucking forever. Now my dreams may come true.

Is it just me or are me410s super flammable? [editline]8th October 2014[/editline] Me410 b6 to be more specific.

Is it confirmed what bomb load out the new american jet bomber will be getting?
The bombloads on IL-28 are pretty trash. You get The Bomb which will be only ever useful in base rushing which I don't even know if it will ever be feasible in RB, and the other payloads are kinda bad. I don't believe it didn't have 12x250kg or something IRL. It can carry 12x100kg in the racks and can carry the three tons, so they should fit.
I'm getting kind of disappointed with how often I see planes get set on fire, but do not die. Myself included.

[QUOTE=Leintharien;46188784]I'm getting kind of disappointed with how often I see planes get set on fire, but do not die. Myself included.[/QUOTE] Today i had to set a bf109 g6 on fire twice before it finally went down.
[QUOTE=aydin690;46189371]Today i had to set a bf109 g6 on fire twice before it finally went down.[/QUOTE] I discovered while trying to deal with most AI beaufighters, that you usually have to set both engines on fire at least once in order to take it down. Works best if both are going simultaneously. Honestly, I've been getting more success out of just using the twin MGs on the BF109 E-3 on my targets. The cannons just don't do it for me. I've tried using them at convergences of 200, 250, and 300 and they just aren't reliable or accurate enough, nor do they seem to do the damage I need them to do. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take on buffalos as I've snuck up on them and blasted one with a healthy burst at convergence (I can guess about 12 hits out of 30-40 rounds) and all I got was a bunch of chaff in my face, and more buffalos on my tail. Also, wasn't the E-3 able to fire Minengeshoss rounds? Which loadout has them?
I can't wait for all those new flak's (^:
Did they spill vodka on their servers again? The DL speed is absolutely terrible this time.
