G8N1, goodbye my old friend.
Gone are the days when this thing could do anything, now it suffers from an elevator that doesnt do shit, a rudder that when destroyed causes the aircraft to lose the ability to roll and a BR that has it get matched with F-80's every single game.

Lancaster now handles like the (new) shit G8N1. It absolutely does not handle above 350kph and any light damage usually causes a death spiral/loop. I had one of my wings go dark red once, and I swear it was generating negative lift, the plane immediately got stuck tilted ninety degrees. Also, the elevators and rudder are almost entirely unresponsive and deflect only a few millimeters, even when using manual controls.
It's like they're trying to make all strategic bombers unusable dogshit and I'm not sure whether to cheer them on or be upset.

Make way for the Era of jet bombers
[QUOTE=Covalent;46289482]Yeah sure, lemme just grind out 60,000 research points no problemo without premiumareno.

I made 50,000 towards the Panzer IV Ausf J without paying attention and that's with the fucking terrible tank rewards. I'm already 1/3rd of the way to one of the Canberra because I've been trying to ace the Lancaster Mk I. :v:
Japan tree is really good. You basically can't be hit if you're smart in a Zero. The Ki-84s are great. The N1Ks are absurd. Literally the only sad area of it now are the heavy bombers, G5N and G8N, which have abysmal FM/DMs.

Playing with Zeros is particularly difficult, at the moment, because of the massive F7F spam.
[QUOTE=Fayez;46291140]Playing with Zeros is particularly difficult, at the moment, because of the massive F7F spam.[/QUOTE]
F7Fs have massive difficulty adjusting their yaw in a dive. Just peel left or right in advance and pray you can snag them with a few cannon rounds as they run away. You could also fly low, making their dives more difficult.
Zeroes rarely ever get to park on a tail, climb, our out-speed someone. It's all about manuvering and fuckin' with people.
[QUOTE=Doom14;46291187]F7Fs have massive difficulty adjusting their yaw in a dive.[/QUOTE]
Is it like the old f6f yaw? I don't have the f7f yet since I haven't played much lately and I don't play alot of america anyway
f6f was so bad before when it came to yawing.
[QUOTE=Fayez;46291140]Playing with Zeros is particularly difficult, at the moment, because of the massive F7F spam.[/QUOTE]
Jap planes are the easiest planes to avoid an F7F in. F7F's compress like motherfuckers during a dive; all you have to do to avoid them is turn slightly and they will miss you 100% of the time.

It's not that they are hard to avoid, it's the fact that they have an insane dive/climb/straight line speed, so by the time you have turned away from their Zoom, they would be 2 kilometers away.

The T-35 is responsible for all of this excluding the T-28 and BT-7.
I can feel this shit happening again, where I have one thing I like playing and playing constantly while the game drowns me in vehicles.

I get that with the type 27 ishak and a few of the biplanes.
I love that little soviet beast the most though.

Same here, I love the T-28
Is slow, so it plays great even on that jungle map that reduces my FPS to 9 (1.43 [I]really[/I] optimized Ground Forces, now I'm getting an average of 17 FPS). It doesn't carries a lot of ammo, so I got to make each shot count. And it's got a fucking [B]76mm[/B] gun, a guaranteed one-hit kill with the improved ammo, if I maneuver my tank and shot correctly.
It helps that it gets kind of fast and agile once you get the tank running, so I can close the distance to 100 meters, slow down, blow someone up and get back to running.
Wow, doom you were saying how the ZSU-37 is OP as fuck, you should really try the ZUT-37. Its like the ZSU-37 except it gets like 10 times better matchmaking.
It can rip just about anything to shreds apart from KVs
[editline]e[/editline]
it's god awful as an AA vehicle though because its turret turns so slowly
who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make an AA gun with a turret traverse speed of 7.5 degrees/second????
[editline]21st October 2014[/editline]
It also has a super glitchy victory bucket like the KV-85

Hopped into a game as jap with a fresh x2 bonus waiting to be reaped, get dropped 5 minutes in due to packet loss, team wins and I get nothing from the bonus. Have to wait 5 minutes to play again.
Whelp there goes my session for today.

ZUT reload [I][B]a shit.[/B][/I]
ZSU basically is continuous fire.
ZUT is BLAPBLALBLALBAP wait.. waiting.. waiting.. wow so much anticipation.. still waiti-BLAPBLAPBLALALBAP.
ZUT's still pretty good though. I don't see why people bitch about the traverse speed, my bigger issue in fighting planes with it is that you get exactly five shots until the plane has fucked off way outside your zone of fire.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;46290691]lol, he thinks 60,000 is a lot.[/QUOTE]
it is when you get maybe 1000 per RB match without premium
and have no premium planes
and I don't even have to mention that stock planes against fully upgraded planes are ridiculous
there isn't even a way to contend. Shooting ground targets maybe, but still that only nets you 1000 again or so even as a win.
[QUOTE=Covalent;46295570]it is when you get maybe 1000 per RB match without premium[/QUOTE]
What are you flying?
I can easily make about 800-1200RP a match. No premium. No double.
[B]With non-premium tanks.[/B]

depends on the team, either I can get a couple planes before I die, or I get gang banged because my whole team is dead 5 mins into the round
American - P-51. Almost have the F8F-1B.
I've also been trying to get further in the Japanese tree, but said fuck that because the ki-61 with cannons is dreadful with it's BR and stock is just unbearable.
this is american teams in a nutshell, all of these matches I've killed 2-3 planes:

ZUT also fires way quicker though so you can BLATBLABLATBLAT quickly and then hide for the 5 second reload
the traverse is annoying because you cant even track plane that's flying across you unless its like 3km out, its only really good if the plane is coming right at you or nearly right at you. By the time you've swung the hull around and laid the gun you're either dead or the target is long gone
5 shots isnt really a big deal since it has good ballistics and will put a plane down in one shot. If you mastered the art of the AAA T-34-57 back when it still had a crosshair you dont even need to use it on full auto.

Sounds like it's the fault not of premium status or plane, but your teams. American RB can be like that. A lot. You should enjoy the F8Fs, they're still absurdly good. You'll also enjoy watching your dipstick teammates fucking up with them anyways. :v:
Please explain to me how a 57mm APHE shell can make it through a Ju 87's engine block, pilot and out the god damn tail without doing any critical damage at all
[I]twice[/I]
I mean unless the shell somehow managed to hit between the block's V angle, and that at the same time the pilot just happened to be lighting himself a cigarette I can't quite see how it happened.
Fighting Americans and allies [i]feels [/i] horrible, but once the Dora legion has shot down a couple of jets or f7fs, they really gain so much momentum I can just use the small airfields to take 2-4 heavy tanks in my own Dora as bait.
Like, props vs jets feels horrible, but most allies overestimate their aircraft, lone wolf and head ons, while two Doras will rape nearly anything.
how does an la-9 gain on my horten 229 when i'm going 920 km/h and then shoot me down from 1.2km away with his first burst
i don't understand
russian planes tovarish ))) should have gone russian better chance )))))
Can anyone post the video of the B17 doing that fucking ballet after having it's tail shot off?

I thought that was just [i]what the B17 did[/i] when the tail got sliced off. Always happens to me, at least.
[editline]edit[/editline]
Sort of stands still in the air whilst flipping about.
The Ki61 cannon variant is so good if you can lure someone into a turn fight in realistic battle. Otherwise it just gets eaten up by american planes.
Too freaking cool:

only 1000 per match? sounds like you got a bad case of the suck.
