Rangefinders? A bunch of the rank 5 German tanks have them, they dont function.

its only slightly better than the Jagdtiger penetration wise, certainly not game breaking
plus it will have a long ass reload time given the two piece ammo

Same with numerous planes. Sabres all had rangefinders and radar gunsights accurate to 3km. Various german planes, f7fs, etc all had (front facing) radars and the list goes on.

didn't they plan to implement radar, though?

Gyro/Radar gunsights are already in for some planes, like on the P-51Ds, all US and UK Jets, Griffon Spitfires, and a few other later allied planes, but they are still missing them on some of the late war German props and jets(?) and I'm not sure if the jet MiGs have them yet.
[QUOTE=Doom14;46394687]Right now it's not really right. They need a sweeping clean up of plane damage models and proper armor values.
For instance, it says the Duck and IL-2 have super strong "red" armor, but lists it as 0.1mm thick. :v:[/QUOTE]
That's right on the IL-2, they used stalinum lining.
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;46397141]That's right on the IL-2, they used stalinum lining.[/QUOTE]
The error is in the thicknesses and lack of material.
Because if it was to be believed, the Po-2 is 88 times more "armored" than an IL-2. :v:
Not sure if i should be proud of this 'achievement':

So when exactly do you get that plane everyone is talking about?
I'm pretty sure I've had way over 5 kills since the event started, but I never got anything for what I know.
Or does it have to be 5 kills in a single match?
I had 7 kills in a single match yesterday, I haven't received a plane yet.

Under the achievements tab. No, just 5 kills.
I dont think the game tells you, I had to snoop around the research trees to find out if an extra plane appeared. It was the stupid biplane.

The only indication you get is the little achievement medal at the end of a game.
Also got the DB-7, was feeling kinda disappointed at first but considering it's like 50% to get that shitty biplane I'm kinda thankful.
Oh god I so want the XF5U Pancake ingame.

PS. Use Chrome for 60fps.
Ok, definitely avoiding Russian servers even if it means I have to wait 5 minutes for a game.
Spawn, get followed around by guy in Su-122, get hull-down and get a tank in my sights. The Su-122 rams me and almost tips me over. I ignore it, thinking he'll go away. He does it twice more before I turn around and plant a shell into his track. He instantly fires off a shell into my turret, killing my tank. I respawn, head to a different location, find a new target, and get exploded out of nowhere by the same guy. This happens once more before I quit the game. I looked at his stat sheet before I left, and his account is rank 32. I'm rank 30. What the actual fuck.
Different game, same sorta situation. This doesn't follow me around but I'm driving along and he approaches from my rear in his T34-85 where I can't see him, collides with me, and sends me tumbling over. I ask for assistance, and he says something in Russian caps. Some other guy has the courtesy to right me, and I continue. Later on in the game, I see the guy again in a different tank. I decided to exact my revenge and ram him a bit. He almost tips over but doesn't quite, turns to face me, and ammoracks me. This pissed me off. I respawn, head to the location he's at, find him, and plant a shell in his turret ring. This did nothing to him apart from slow his turret apparently, because he whipped right around, killed me, then left his tank which gave me a friendly kill. Great. What's this? The game's over? I'm back at the hangar? Oh. I got kicked for team damage. How even.
I have never experienced anything like this on either EU or US.

Bad luck. Same cunts on every server.
I really dislike the J7W. It's fun when it works.
It's boring when a La-7B can tail you, match speed, and outclimb; wasting 10 minutes of the match and dragging you 30km away from the battlefield because of retard "must follow red dot syndrome." I'm so very glad that the J7W is only a bit faster than a Zero when unupgraded, level, and not in low orbit.
The only things I like about it are the looks, armament, and dive speed.
Only three modules left, though. Then on to the Kitsuka.

And high-mid speed handling. And high alt speed.
One match I shot down two cranberries diving for our carriers. it's pretty much prop born jet hunter. It's true you have to be really careful with what you invest your energy into, but when you have enough of it, it's hard to match you at all.
[QUOTE=Doom14;46399378]It's boring when a La-7B can tail you, match speed, and outclimb;[/QUOTE]
The La-7B is trash if it's outclimbing you drop your bombs, stop taking full fuel, and use WEP
Protip. While playing as the Japanese play one of their really offensive war songs or "gunka".
The only one I can find right now is a little tame, it just means "a thousand enemies will come" but they have a song somewhere that is literally titled "Wipe out Britons and Americans"

You get like a trillion gaijin kills per match.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;46399767]The La-7B is trash if it's outclimbing you drop your bombs, stop taking full fuel, and use WEP[/QUOTE]
10 minutes fuel left, no bombs, WEP with engine temp going red, no plane damage. The issue was that I had to hit the deck to avoid him. And even then, flatline, he was able to keep maybe within 50kph of me, and kept better speed when I had to nose up to climb.
I wouldn't have bitched if I went 110% retard and weighed down the plane with the weight of a small car in fuel and bombs.

how the
what the
how do you even
the bearcat is one of the best (if not the best) planes in the game at energy generation
what fucking bizarro game are you playing

I would love to know what your experience is in the cannoncat because if it isnt "fucking up literally everything ever" then you are doing it wrong on levels I cannot even comprehend
If you turn off the engine the Bearcat has shit retention, it just produces enough to get by on its own no issue, kind of like a BF109. A Ki-84 or P-51, by comparison, will glide pretty far

it's not fully upgraded, if I dive down on a A6M5 or N1K, they can simply turn and then follow me, and they usually end up killing me. I'm usually diving a good 2-3k meters down.
I'm only starting on the fourth tier of upgrades now with Engine Injection

Why not just keep going in a straight line or take back off into the sky? By the time they finish their turn they will be slow and low on energy, and you should be loooong gone.
Fully upgrading a plane doesn't change it that much.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;46399767]The La-7B is trash if it's outclimbing you drop your bombs, stop taking full fuel, and use WEP[/QUOTE]
No, J7W1 is trash dude. Has like no energy retention.
[QUOTE=Skwee;46400617]Fully upgrading a plane doesn't change it that much.[/QUOTE]
It does. The Engine Injection upgrade does like +50 km/h, near 5km/h for climb.
Most of the other upgrades are meh toward stats though. Unless we're counting the guns. Cause them 20's just spread like a shotgun un-upgraded.
