For some reason its easier for me to play my Fw190-A5 with my friend who is in his Fw190-D12 who goes against jets sometimes than it is to play in my own tier
[QUOTE=Skwee;46217285]Yeah. I thought I made it quite clear, not sure why you have to ask. [B]I can't fly US planes without having half my team filled with bombers that do nothing to help me against a swarm of enemy fighters.[/B] I think it is hilarious that you guys are bitching about your top tier jet bomber being crap[/QUOTE]
This is why I stopped flying American. It's just not worth it.
If I fly US, I only fly the P-38 because Era 2 isn't [I]that[/I] bad, and the P-38 is a lot of fun to fly. I've just been flying Japanese ever since I unlocked the Tigercat that I will never fly.
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46217545]I dont even fly bombers, you're just acting like a colossal asshole lmao
maybe if it bothers you that much try playing a different nation??? I fly my beercans all the time and generally have no issues.
[/QUOTE]
No shit. You think that I am not flying other nations? I pretty much never fly USA now.
Speaking of flying Japanese, is there anything I can do so that it doesn't feel like I'm shooting spitballs in the Ki-84 ko?

Load every belt possible with air target loads. You'll go from spitballs to antimatter.

You obviously haven't flown era 4 in a while because bomber spam isn't really a thing anymore. Most of the "hurr b17 op" crowd is too busy crying on the forums over their no-longer broken damage model and/or effective cannons ripping them to shreds.

Good fucking grief, it looks like they were made for making holes in everything[/QUOTE]
They're actually supper low velocity because the barrels on them aren't nearly long enough for the shell they're firing to effectively gain velocity before it exits the barrel. The powder ratio to shell size and weight isn't very good either. Like Awesomecaek said, great for delivering shitloads of HE though.

Spoilers we lost. yes that is 5 minutes into the game
Well, that is against the Japanese. American upper tiers have no hope against the Japanese.

honestly just sounds like you're a lil butthurt that you got shot out of your f dub too many times by a B-17.

It was the first game I got in after not playing USA b-17 tier for a few weeks. You are also flying a lower br plane.
It's not about getting shot down by them, and I have said this so many times, it is about them being on my team.
[QUOTE=EliteSuperS;46217580]F8F-1B, the one with the cannons. Also this is happening in RB.[/QUOTE]
Usually barrelrolling works for me. If you're at high altitude, try to dive and get around 750kp/h speed. Japanese planes usually breaks their wings at that speed
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;46217243]They are actually exceptionally bad at making holes, they are good at delivering highly explosive payload. Pretty much rapid fire granade launcher rather than real cannon.[/QUOTE]
Literally thought they were AGS-30 grenade launchers until I read the placard.
me410 b6 isn't really worth flying. People don't spam b17s anymore and f8fs and f7fs eat it for breakfast, not to mention the 30000 repair cost.

I won't argue about usability of Me410 but
[quote]People don't spam b17s anymore[/quote]
tell that to the Korea airfield that I just helped to evaporate with my cookie bombs on Korea.
I think bigger problem of the 410 B6 is that right now 20mm Mineschoss is more than sufficient for removing a heavy bomber.

But everyone that flies american is too stupid to realise they dont have to head on you, the 30's tear up everything.
P-51s wobble all over the place god damn.
And ever since I got the A6M3. I really like playing japanese planes, working on unlocking the first Ki-84.
They're basically everything good about japanese planes, but on steroids, right?

Ki-84's and Shidens are basically the reason to play Japan, yes
They make the whole tree of suffering worth it

The Ki-84s are great planes no doubt, but they are a complete departure from the way zeroes play. They have insanely good energy output and high speed maneuverability vs the zero which is pretty much exclusively a low speed turn-fighter.
having fun in my ki-61
then someone starts using netflix
end up plummeting into the ground
fun ended.

you seem to be under the impression that your team isn't going to be shit regardless of what they fly.
I've had a hard time finding really bad players in high-tier German matches, but when they are bad, they're [i]bad[/i]. Not Russian "Ima crash as frequently as I can so Gaijin think my plane is underperforming and buff it harder next patch" bad, but it's no surprise when I see a fellow in a Fw 190 with all the altitude advantage in the world get baited into a low-alt dogfight with an enemy. My feels.

I've found the quality of my team goes up dramatically when I play Japanese. I don't know if it's just because Zeroes are easy mode or because American teams are just trash, but rarely do I feel like my losses as Japan are because my team is pants on head retarded.
It still happens of course, but it's so much rarer. When I lose as Japan I usually feel like it's because we were legitimately outplayed or I did something to fuck it up and didn't pull my weight. When I lose as US especially, it always feels like it's because my team is just a waste of player slots and that I have to somehow carry my entire team.

its probably because japan is one of the harder (hardest IMO) nations to play well so by the time you get to later ranks all the shitlords have been weeded out.
I also have a theory that because there is no good grinding bomber on the japanese tree, you lose the retards that clearly just ranked up entirely by spacebar slapping and have no idea how to fly a fighter.

Shindens can nearly hit 1000km/h with a bit of luck. Shindens are [I]fucking scary.[/I]
Yeah J7W1 convinced me J7W2 would be a really good plane if they did put it into the game.
I'm just wondering, is it really possible to actually use the Wellington?
[QUOTE=Tinter;46223355]I'm just wondering, is it really possible to actually use the Wellington?[/QUOTE]
It's very good at carrying bombs, it's very bad at every single other quality an aircraft might have.

Okay, Why didn't anyone tell me that the japs could be fun. I got like 7kills with the Ki-10 and the deaths were just mindless kamikazes at the end of the round
Also, how do i make the image smaller :3
