[QUOTE=Shibbey;46486555]All this is true as fuck it's pretty much gospel Thing about fighter pilot-ing is it's all about predicting what the other dude will do and trying to be ahead of the curve if possible all while compensating for the performance of both planes (and not every fight is a 1v1 sooooo). You have to know what another plane is capable of doing and will probably do, both what is right and what is completely stupid. It's kinda trial-and-error-y at times, try and watch what experienced players are doing and copy their tactics (or squad up with good people and get on mic)[/QUOTE] My ACM is pretty bad, but my shooting skills are incredibly awful. Eventually you'll have me following this enemy plane like a some dumbass refusing to give up, usually ending up getting myself killed. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBvG5l-Tboc[/media]

[editline]14th November 2014[/editline] I-153P counters at least earlier zeroes hard tho, because they always think they can hardball turnfight but they totally can not.
Awesomecaek, is that YOU?! Edit: Btw, this was in RB. I don't play SB very much at all.
I somehow got myself into SB and I find my aim is going all over the place due to wind(?) or something but my screen was shaking/drifting harder than a montage parody (using a joystick) is this something to do with propwash or...? [editline]14th November 2014[/editline] also I kept losing targets since they'd get blocked by my canopy frame :v: I was in a Shiden-kai
[QUOTE=doomsniper;46487542]Btw, this was in RB. I don't play SB very much at all.[/QUOTE] You should, you'd probably be pretty good at it if you can win fights like that in RB
I kinda want to get into SB, but I don't have any headtracking, so that'd be kind of a limiting factor I just want IL-2 BoS, but it's so expensive ;-;
[QUOTE=Natti;46488246]I kinda want to get into SB, but I don't have any headtracking, so that'd be kind of a limiting factor I just want IL-2 BoS, but it's so expensive ;-;[/QUOTE] I play SB with right hand on stick left hand on mouse (hurrr) and I feel competitive, I have my arrow keys bound to head movement and the hat-stick bound to zoom (the left-right function of it broke) and honestly it's fine Also BoS is pay2win, I still want it tho
[QUOTE=doomsniper;46487542]Awesomecaek, is that YOU?! Edit: Btw, this was in RB. I don't play SB very much at all.[/QUOTE] Yes it is him. [editline]14th November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Natti;46488246]I kinda want to get into SB, but I don't have any headtracking, so that'd be kind of a limiting factor I just want IL-2 BoS, but it's so expensive ;-;[/QUOTE] I play sim and having a $60 stick with little digital thumb stick at the top is perfectly fine. Head tracking gives far less of an advantage than you would think.
I've tried flying sim using the little doohickey to look around, and it works fine in DCS and IL-2, but I just haven't had any luck with it in War Thunder, I don't really know what's up with it I should probably just get off my fat ass and configure it properly but that'd require me to get off my fat ass
Or you can just use the mouse with your left hand to look around, works amazingly well once you get use to it.

Okay they say yes to Tiger II with the 105, Panther II, and Panther Ausf F, but they say no to the T34, T29, and the M26E5/E4? Also what could possibly be the German "answer" to the M103 and T-10 because I doubt the Maus, if they added it, would be able to counter them unless they pull a imported M103 and T-10 out of their ass. Also I for one welcome the idea of introducing the Leo 1, T-62, M60, and whatever Centurion versions came with a 105mm mounted on it and maybe the Type 74 for Japan as well?

I am also surprised about no for T29 tho.

Since the Maus was [i]technically[/i] a production tank, it should at least be considered. Its mobility would make it kind of impossible to drive, though, considering the rough offroad nature of nearly every GF map, Poland and Mozdok notwithstanding. Would be really awesome to see in game, though, just because of its mythical status in history.

REALLY? Leopard 1 in War Thunder? I will seriously cry out of joy when I actually see it with the marvelous WT graphics. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN! If you squeeze the Leopard PTA in you can take my money! ALL OF IT!
Are the reserve tanks just really one sided or do I get lucky? I've been getting games like this everytime I use the T-26 mod.1939 against Tier 1 German tanks. It's like, one shot kills all across the board. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68824667/2014-11-03_00001.jpg[/t]

II to get around the Russian tanks and effectively use the 20mm they get. It's not [i]hard[/i] to beat Russian teams with early German tanks, but a lot of the window-licking arcade pubbies don't have the first clue and will happily sit in front of you at 300m and try to pen you with default ammo in their autocannons.
Maybe this could work as a German answer to the M103 and T-10? [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT_tank[/URL]
[QUOTE=spekter;46428132]I just got 30 pounds worth of gold eagles to use in War Thunder free with my graphics card. What the fuck do I do with all this dosh.[/QUOTE] Hey this is super late and all but, what card? GTX 750 right? Cause the website says 760 too but I can't find any with this promo. I NEED MY GOLD EAGLES

aaaaaaand this is why I say "No, thanks." to AB.
AB for life.
I like both
[QUOTE=Bbarnes005;46493157]Maybe this could work as a German answer to the M103 and T-10? [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT_tank[/URL][/QUOTE] thats waaaaaaaaay to far out of the range for the timeline of the game. You could add in T-80's if you go that far ahead.
