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[/QUOTE]

Guy who wanted to do low tier Nippon RB get to the TS/choppa
I'm flying japan again just because of the new sexy gun sounds
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46221948]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.[/QUOTE]
Well tier 3 clearly isn't one of the ranks you were talking about. Just had a team full of zeroes climb to 3-4km against a team of primarily f7f's. Needless to say they trapped themselves and the whole 2 of us that didn't climb had to face the entire enemy team.

Is it at all possible to kill something with the gunners? I've played too much Wellington but I've never managed to even deter enemies.
I haven't flown much with the Wellington in a long time, but unless you like seriously critical with a few shots, fighters aint going to stop getting after you.
Granted I'm not good at planes so my word isn't worth much.

nah 7.7s are pretty much worthless as defensive armament unless you literally hit the pilot in the face
Yeah nowhere near the fuck off capability of 50 cals. Its very piddly and the Wellington is a pretty big plane if irc.
Also I have no idea when it happened but I was halfway to getting what used to be the first fw-190 and now they added in two more of them before it. Thats what I get for never playing.

.303 was good for a short time in 1.41, but it feels pretty shit again.
About the only defensive armaments you can rely on are the 'murrica and slavic 12.7mms. Burgerlandia .50s have pretty good trajectory, flamethrower rounds, and the planes that have them are usually fucking slathered. The potato UB 12.7mm has an even longer cartridge and some absurd pilot-sodomizing super AP rounds, but most planes only have them in 1-3s.
You might argue that G8N1 has good defenses, with all those Type-99-1s, but Type-99-1s have abysmal trajectory and by the time something gets close enough for you to accurately lead, your wing will be light pink and you'll be in a death-spiral/forced-forward mode and soon die anyways.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;46221959]Shinden will absolutely violate you with its 950km/h dive speed[/QUOTE]
my fully upgraded Ki102 can dive to 800kph :dance:
too bad it takes a bit of altitude before it reaches there though
The Catalina is one of my favorite aircraft since its so durable (and if i could own any aircraft, that would be it), but christ the tail gunner and bubble gunners aren't worth shit. Nose gunner never gets used, but I've managed to keep the catalina in the air when its 90% holes

theres actually a bunch of pby's in washington that were converted to firefighters and have only recently been replaced by canadairs, they're relatively cheap for a twin engine seaplane
[editline]13th October 2014[/editline]
also catalinas had "retrorockets". pilots would fly at a fixed speed and when they flipped a switch the rockets exhaust would fire retrograde to the direction of motion and drop like a bomb. made for antisub warfare [url]http://www.history.navy.mil/avh-vol2/chap4-4.pdf[/url]

those AP cement core rounds also have a habit of tearing wings off in one shot because apparently they still havent fixed the damage on those things

AP(c) rounds are so hilarious
I managed to kill a Tigur with one burst of them after running out of 37mm shells in the Yak-9T, god bless overpowered 12.7mm rounds and 90 degree dives.
Alright, who spilled the beans on Japan?
I've had so many dribbling retards on my team that about to unlock the fucking J7W without even getting a double.
japan ho-103's on the ki-61 are a disgrace
I saw every round that I fired hit an f6f, and it did no damage
probably 200 rounds or so right into the chassis and wings, air targets, fully upgraded too.

is the PBJ worth getting? I like the American naval bombers.
also, what are the best american mid tiers?
[QUOTE=paindoc;46225463]is the PBJ worth getting? I like the American naval bombers.

PBJs are literally B-25s with insane frontal armament and simpler bomb-loads. As in yes, get them, but don't expect anything too crazy.
By mid, I'm gonna assume Era III. Your options are a little limited there. The Corsairs are definitely good in RB if you're smart with them, and have low BRs. The cannon one has a much higher BR and you honestly don't -need- the cannons, but whatevs. The P-47s got a whole rack and a half of dakka, but handle like overladen jugs. The P-63s are solid, but better for Arcade.
With American fighters, you really can't go wrong except for the F-82E and P-80A. Everything else is pretty solid.

PBJ is worth getting if you like wrecking fucking everything with your 8 .50s, the 75mm is okay at best, it isnt too useful.
ok so can the J7W1 actually take off from a runway? Because I cant seem to get the elevators to do anything even with the manual pitch keys
[editline]e[/editline]
it also picks up speed REALLY god damned slowly on the runway

Do you mean you saw the hit spark, or do you mean the game actually said [b]'Hit!'[/b]?

Yay! And to be honest I mostly play arcade. Just easier for me to pick up and play a few battles between classes or homework than sitting down and investing a bit more :v:
Also I'm still pretty godawful

You have to keep your angle ALL the way down on takeoff (Like, for me, mouseaim has to be 40 degrees or so below the nose) until you pick up to about 250kph and then you can take off
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;46221719]you seem to be under the impression that your team isn't going to be shit regardless of what they fly.[/QUOTE]

No, I just want my team members to have even the slightest capacity to back me up in a dog fight.

[highlight]Ha[/highlight]
I'm just happy if they manage to kill a few people. I'm usually not even lucky enough to get that. Nothing like seeing 14 other pilots with a grand total of 3 kills.
[QUOTE=aydin690;46220511]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.[/QUOTE]
I only use it for ground attack because it's better than the Duck, but regardless of whether you fly high alt for bombers or low for ground targets, some asshole will seek you out for an easy kill in their lawn mowing fighter.

THE COMIC SANS BANDIT STRIKES AGAIN
What is a P-63's weakness? I'm flying a Ki-84 and they seem to do everything better than I can. They even seem to catch up to me if given enough time.
