[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46454665]Wow, what map was it? I didn't think there were any other maps that 7.0+ jets could play on.[/QUOTE] Can't remember the name. It was against german planes.
Been playing this on and off for a few months now - What's the recommendation regarding Joystick control? I've used it a little, but found it impossible to aim.
Unless you're playing Simulator Battles, don't. Use mouse aim.

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;46455172]*Unless you are flying the Shinden, using a joystick makes it function correctly[/QUOTE] Once you get use to it, it works fine with mouse aim as long as you use manual control surface deflection (QEWASD for Rudder/Elevator/Ailerons in my case.)
I got the Ho 229 flying Simulator and took it to Simulator. I feel blind like a bat in Similator - I literally cannot see shit unless the plane is against background of the sky. I know there's the sharpening filter, but is there any other tips for making planes more visible? It's annoying.
Thought you guys might get a kick out of this: Visual comparisons of, [URL="http://www.quarryhs.co.uk/tankammo2.htm"]Tank Ammo[/URL] [URL="http://www.quarryhs.co.uk/tankammo4.htm"]Aircraft Ammo[/URL] It's some cool shit. Shows you how huge the 30mm Mk 103 (and 101) rounds were, almost rivaling tank-busting ammo found in NS-37s. [img]http://www.quarryhs.co.uk/FGww2APcarts1e.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=millan;46454270]Uh, dunno actually, it definitely was a thing at least in 1.43 but they might have broken/removed it since then, I don't know.[/QUOTE] I was in a match a few days ago where the last guy on the enemy team just waited on their runway for us to find him and then he did the bail-out-before-getting-shot thing 4-5 times before I came in at an angle that he didn't spot me at to finally take him out. The 2nd time he bailed his tickets bled almost completely out, but then he respawned before they did, and did it a few more times. This was a jet match, so the turn-arounds took quite some time

I specifically remember that once I wanted to change my fuel load, and then realized I want rockets too, and when I jumped out the second time it killed me for good.
[QUOTE=kimr120;46456112]Holy shit the AC-130's ammo.[/QUOTE] No shit, the Spooky carries a 40mm Bofors and a 105mm Howitzer.

I love in ground forces when you're single handedly holding a point against multiple tanks when some dumbass IL-2 pilot strafes you dead and then slams into the ground (I swear the planes are ground seeking) Since you're the only person who has any thought process higher than "Go forward, shoot bad tank" on the team you inevitably lose the game It's times like this I wish they kept planes out of ground battles until they've fully implemented a combined operations type thing [editline]10th November 2014[/editline] It always feels really bad when you get killed by shitty players
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;46458728]It always feels really bad when you get killed by shitty players[/QUOTE] Tanks is, though less of, still a mess right now and with the gimped 40% RP income, you might as well not play it.

I just got the Tiger holy shit, I thought early-mid tier Germany was pretty mediocre with all the explodey cardboard medium tanks but this changes [i]everything[/i] the Pz3 is probably the only tank I played up until then
Since they removed med tank respawns and buffed Tiger's armor, it's pretty blatantly OP right now.
