God, what a shit match. Playing RB, managed to kill all the enemy planes with help from team mates in a over tiered game in my shitty mustang, and this La-15 jet on the runway keeps abusing the mechanic where you can change load outs every 3 seconds.
I want a giant event battle over Berlin with USA, Britain, and the German Sabre vs. The Soviets with the German MiG. It would be all jets. and it would be glorious.

Depending how many people you have left, the best thing is to mop up the AAA near the airfield (3+ remaining teammates) and have someone hover around him (2+ remaining teammates) while the other guy goes to swing the tickets back in your favor.
If it's just you, yeah. It's a pain. I feel that airfield AAA should magically get artillery barraged 10 minutes into a match. No one deserves a free defense grid because they ran away.
fuck yeah new update came out visibility restored to pre-1.43 levels
So is squadron voice chat across all sessions? I'm hearing mac21500 talking to someone else while I'm flying a battle.
Found a guy named [MLP] Scootaloo, and he was flying an F7F.
Made perfect sense to me.

Only if you have voice chat on, but yes, squadron VOIP is across all sessions.
Ok, I tried doing a t-35 platoon. It only lets us spawn as a t-35, and if you die you can't use any of your other vehicles. In arcade mode.
What the hell?
Is anyone getting a "Retract flaps" when flying above 300 Km/h, with flaps raised? And while we're at it, the flaps of my Ki-27 seem to drop on their own for no reason, while making a turn.

Thats the instructor raising and lowering flaps when it thinks it will give you an advantage. I think it only doe sit in arcade mode but if you raise and lower your flaps once manually, it should stop.

Actually, I don't think the instructor does it because it thinks you have an advantage.
It does it if you have a plane with fixed landing gear (Ju-87s are notorious for this, in-game) because it keeps improperly assuming [B]that you're trying to fucking land.[/B]
A really easy fix is to cycle your flaps once, then the instructor won't touch them. Either with the single button (raised -> combat -> take-off -> landing -> raised) or, how I have my binds, with flap up/down keys (raised -> combat -> raised.)
I start every match by double tapping my flaps, it feel like it makes planes start accelerating faster, on the runway or with an airstart, although its probably just placebo effect. I think it started out of desperation when I was trying to get the typhoon to take off in under a year.
Just unlocked g5n1, it's such a beast.

Also, i might have missed something but my scrub ass was playing arcade again and the match didn't end on at least two maps when the airfield was destroyed.
Let me describe my RB experience:
1. Take off. Watch fair portion of team crash from stalling or run off the runway. Add anger to anger reserve.
2. Fly for 20 minutes. Relax a bit forget about mouthbreathers crashing on takeoff.
3. Find black dot. Get above black dot. Try to shoot at him. Miss or only get a few glancing shots
4. realize rest of team died. Get tailed by one guy, acknowledge its impossible to lose someone tailing you. Die.
Get jack all for lions and RP. Realize why I quit this game and that I am more retarded than the shit that comes out of sarah palins vagina when it comes to air gameplay.

Probably a super dumb question but how do i join tank battles? It keeps just throwing me in air battles even when i select tank only
Nevermind it unresearched my selected tank for some reason

Have the Devs mentioned anything about rocket weapons that some tanks were known to have(Tulips for example) and If they'll ever be implemented? If so T34 Calliope or M26 with T99 rackets please.

I seem to remember hearing somewhere back in the closed test that rocket weapons would eventually (TM) be a thing.
There are sound files for the 380mm rocket launcher on the Sturmtiger, so there's that.

I have one better:
Flying american tier 4. People cannot be -that- dumb in tier 4, right???
Nope.
All flying low. Jap planes fly like fucking jets.
They get gang banged, I fly off to the other side, takes forever cause a P-51 sucks in this game compared to RL stats.
Come toward the battles, 1v7.
Immediately I try to boom and zoom.
I go down on one target, they immediately know where I am.
They just turn on a fucking dime, with my little BB guns doing little damage.
A Ki-84 runs up beside me sprinting while I'm at a jogging speed of 600km/h, it tears my plane apart, putting it on fire.
10,000 lions, 200 RP toward a plane that costs 120,000 RP to get.
Fun.
If you're complaining about RB, then clearly you're not flying the F7F or the J7W1 which kill everything.
Also, F7F is impervious to multiple 20mm and 30mm cannonshells...

Shindens are easy enough to deal with at the moment because they cant turn worth a damn, dont maintain speed well (in mouse aim mode), and fall out of the sky with the slightest amount of damage. Wait till it gets its FM fixed then it will be really dangerous.
Weirdly, I still get kills in it because ameriburger pilots dont seem to understand tactics other than head on bullet spraying, which the Shinden is always going win regardless of how bad its FM is because lol-four-centerline-type-5s
In other news, the music from that Stalingrad video totally slipped by.

Now you too can [del]become the greatest pilot east of Berlin[/del] get hopelessly obliterated by Germans, friendlies and the ground when you try to do a high-G turn.

us teams are notoriously bad. Nothing you can do about it, except getting a squadron together.
The P-51 is amazing, just dont turn in it, since it will wobble all over the place. The M2's are still extremely powerfull, groundbelts tear up everything.
Ki-84s fucks everything up all the time. Not much to do about it.
Unless you cave in and start playing the japanese planes, of course.

I want to believe, but Gaijin hates Japan.
I just unlocked the Shiden-kai and it's an absolute monster. It's only weakness really seems to be that it's not a jet. It out turn almost everything and holds energy extremely well. It's also the first Japanese plane I've flown that I feel has a lethal armament. The Shinden is the plane I [I]really[/I] want, but I just know it can't be as good as the Shiden-kai.

And the ammo load, the glorious, glorious ammo load
its basically the only fighter the Japanese get that has more than 5 seconds worth of ammo. It pretty much completely offsets the relative suckiness of the Type-99-2

Japan's Era 4 lineup is pretty much the best in the game and I've heard the R2Y2s own.

Despite seeing a whole match full of HO-229s, and several J7W1s, I have yet to see any R2Y2s.
