The B-57 is seriously disappointing. No defensive arms, shit bomb load out, and not exactly durable.
It's got good speed to it and can outrun meteors and anything German, but you basically destroy 2 bases then go into an AFK climb until the match ends. Hopefully they give it a better bombload down the road, or at least turn it into the variant with defensive arms. Very very very disappointing.
[QUOTE=Doom14;46210652]This new tank progression feels awful.
Sure the Ostwind is 50,000RP. But it's taken me all day to get it with normal vehicles/premium account.
Maybe I'm just spoiled from the Tu-2S-59 printing me 10k+ RP every match.[/QUOTE]
Only one day? I unlock a new plane every 2-4 weeks.

Tornado would have been better, considering I'd actually like to have 2 M3 fiddes. sure the IL-28's cannons are nice [B]when they fucking hit something[/B] but fiddies would be more reliable I think, plus with everything being glass now it wouldn't really matter.

Whirbelwind is the greatest shit and if you disagree you need to get the fuck out of my face.
[sp]That includes you two, Shibbey and Awesomecaek. Not even getting the HVAP. For shame.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Orkel;46211044]i think the more important question is, how did the 3.7cm flaktruck acquire wings to be able to shoot it from above[/QUOTE]
Poland has a pretty tall hill outside of the city which is where I think the Flaktruck was.
What confuses me is that, at that distance, it shouldn't have had 40mm of pen anymore. Or only just.
We're talking one fucking fluke of a shot.

Welcome to premium, where a decent match will take a plane from stock to maxed and a great match can unlock an entire tier.

Do you have the new cannon upgrade yet? I haven't played Russian planes in a while but I know on the American early 20mm's, the upgrade and non upgraded version is literally night and day. One has a 3 foot spread, the other has a 20 foot spread.

I just ask cause I was considering grinding the Russian bombers since TU-2's look like fun and the B-29 will never be in the game.

Premium doubles your RP and 150%s' your silver.
You literally grind twice as fast and make doubles twice as potent. I might get 1500-3000RP no-premium, no-double on my Tu-2S-59.
Slap a Talisman on it (the only plane of mine that has one), wait for a double - that easily becomes 10,000 - 30,000RP. Premium is definitely worth it (and makes repetitiously playing RB IV-V profitable usually.)

Dude, they're NS-23s (I think. Actually NR-23. Same ammo, better RoF.) The Noodlymans are ubiquitously the most obnoxious, fucking abysmal cannons you have to slog around with at high-tier Russia. Almost everyone would prefer ShVAKs or VYas instead. The NS-23s have abysmal trajectories, poor ammo, poor velocities, and mediocre accuracy. Pretty sure the only 20-23mm guns that have worse velocity are the Type-99-1s and MG/FF series. Fuck, even some MG/FF-M ammo has better velocity.

Obviously you can't handle the baps.
I must find others. A squad of 4 people would be like an entire match of 16 Panzer IIs firing at someone.

Man im seeing some questionable as fuck replays of my deaths.
I just had a shell from an IS-2 pass through the lower plate of my tiger, come out the top and then re-enter the tank through the front plate which deflected it into my drivers face where it exploded onto the rest of the crew killing ALL of them.
Thats 202m of armor WITHOUT the slope effectiveness.
what
[QUOTE=archival;46211644]Man im seeing some questionable as fuck replays of my deaths.[/QUOTE]
I had a T-34 headshot all but one crew member with the entire fucking 76.2mm round in my Hetzer. That was legit though.
The not-legit one was the shell from yet another T-34 that went in and out of my StuG, passing through nothing vital, no crew, nor exploding - and then telling me that my tank burnt down. :v:
The posted TS3 server aint working and no one is in the mumble. The fuck are all you guys?

Same thing happened to me in my hetzer earlier today.
Uh. Just had two pilots crash during takeoff, which lead to six or seven players returning to the airfield and disconnect.
Is the inside of the t-60 covered in spikes and other pointy things that impale the crew members? It seems like my crew gets knocked out whenever the tank hits a bump or backs into a wall.

because it has 2 crew members and your tank gets knocked out if you lose 1 of them

Soviet tanks have the highest broken neck per crew percentage out of any nation ever. Their tanks are not at all designed for crew comfort.
Only thing that rivals that is (supposedly) the old British Mk I's that had the engine exhaust vent into the crew compartment.

is that an actual statistic or hyperbole? I mean honestly it wouldnt surprise me in the least if it were true but Im curious about the source :v:
My T-60 got it's entire (2) crew knocked out.
When I bumped into a stone wall.
At 5km/h.
my favorite part about driving the T-35 on Poland is plowing down the long street that bisects the city and literally bulldozing over any enemy/friendly light tanks in the way
this tank is the most fun
Fuck f7fs. Why the fuck do they get an air start? All german teams are getting spanked because of them. They used to have the altitude advantage but now they all have to stay low because the f7fs have already climbed to the moon.
[editline]11th October 2014[/editline]
Its BR should be somewhere between 5.7 to 6.3, at 5.3 its just too low.

Even if F7F's didn't get an airstart, they would still whoop a D-13's ass.
I want a BR increase, not because of the F7F being unfair or any cry-baby dribble like that, but because I want to take down jets in a F7F.
I almost just won a match just now. 1 v 4. BF-109 G-2/Trop.

I was dogfighting two Yaks at once over my airfield, one abandoned the fight and went back to his airfield in attempt to land to land. I then killed the other in a rolling scissors when he passed in front about 5m away. The runner crashed a bit later. He wasn't able to repair.
I then searched for a while, found another Yak at about 5 minutes of fuel left, barrel rolled him into a helix, set him on fire with minengeshoB when he passed barely 2m in front of me. He burned away.
Last one got me as my engine went black, so I barely had any engine power left while going back to the airfield. I only had about 1m 30s of fuel left. He sniped my left wing at about 500m range. I was holding off on him to get closer before so I could initiate a barrel roll, but I didn't expect him to hit from so far.
Why is this all so impressive to me?
I was using a joystick.
Trying really hard to enjoy the T-35. T-26s eat it for breakfast.
Autistic team-mates also eat it for breakfast.
Edit:
Finally had a fun round, got to use it as a breakthrough tank. I even pushed some coward allies that were blocking the road out of the way.
im tempted to RTB and abandon when i see F7F at this point.

How's 9 500lb bombs a shit bombload? The B-17G carries 8, 12 when upgraded. Be happy that you didn't get like 6 or even 4.
Although, it's still BS that it doesn't have any guns, and it SHOULD.

we got the first version that didn't have guns. so... it shouldn't
but also it shouldn't be in the game.
also I don't even give a single shit because I don't play bombers, so haha fuck you and your shitty bomber.
You can fool yourself for a while thinking it is hilarious or whatever to run away after you have done your terrible job. Maybe eventually you will realize you are being dumb as fuck and wasting your time and everyone else's flying terrible planes and doing "the objective"

you're an absolute bellend
I got the Zis-30 and was lit on fire 4 times in a row in my first matches, upon being shot the first time. No idea why but I rather swiftly researched FPE.
So I guess im supposed to repair the plane BEFORE exiting to change loadout...
this is just in, I'm terrible with the mustang! Died twice because of wing-overload and didnt hit a thing yet :v:
Any hints & tips?
