Aw yeah[/QUOTE]
But it's kinda useless. It only gets fighter spawn point and it can't really climb, sooo?
Take a PBY-5A Catalina, equip it with any loadout and test fly it. You will spawn on the water and it will be impossible to take off. Just try it, you won't even make past 100 km/h. Gaijin fucked up with it.
Edit:
In realistic mode.

I just did it
Twice.
Just point out to sea, elevator all the way up the entire time. 100% throttle until it hits 85, then WEP, as soon as it hits ~110, away she goes.

ah
yeah youre fucked then
But now Im in the mood for some catalina races around pearl harbor. Anyone care to join me?
my god trying hit stuff at 1km+ is just disgusting thanks to their wondrous idea to put in a cone of fire
trying to bracket a tank just doesnt work because sometimes your third shot will end up over shooting your 2nd shot or even under shooting your 1st shot.
Well I've hit late Tier 3 and things have turned around quick. I thought maybe I'd adjust to the style of a Heavy Tank easily and get into upgrading the Tiger but so far it's been moving like a turtle and getting one-shot/ammo-racked by everything under the sun. Mainly the many variations of the T-34. Any suggestions for making the Tiger work or other T3 tanks that may be better options?
Also where should one put crew points for Tanks?
man that panzer III with the 50mm is godly.

I'm putting all mine into vitality so the crew is harder to take out. But I don't think crew skills are working yet for tanks because I haven't noticed any real difference.
I strongly suggest the Panther, the Tiger is kind of worthless in it's current state.
[QUOTE=Trooper-guy1;44887973]Also where should one put crew points for Tanks?[/QUOTE]
Vitality, then repair speed.
I'm extremely certain crew skills don't even work currently, and that all the upgrades (except parts/ammo/artillery/FPE) are feel good do-nothings. I've driven next to a stock tank in a fully upgraded one, we went the exact same speed. So much for engine, suspension, tracks, filters, etc, upgrades doing anything. :v:

Since you have to get all the tanks anyway to hit the next tier I'll go ahead and work towards the Panther. I still really want to use the Tiger considering I can instantly cap tanks at 1.15 KM but goodness I feel like I'm made a cardboard against anything.

Egh, I guess I'll wait a bit or pour it into Vitality, Repair Speed, and Reload Speeds. It's similar to what I did for the planes.

Use it like a sniper.
Sit about 1km+ out and enjoy the angry cyrillic letters

at that range the su-152 could not penetrate me nor did he have a hope of hitting me because he couldnt even see me or hit me.
[editline]23rd May 2014[/editline]
To make ranging easier use the minimap to better guess the range since each square appears to be 500 meters

The square range is different depending on the size of the map I believe.

which is goddamn annoying
let me do my Pythagorean theorem, assholes
AI artillery and tanks are fucking cancer in this game, it's painful trying to flank in kursk because if you're the farthest one up you just get blinded by the dirt clouds as every fucking AI starts shooting the ground around you and lets everybody know where you are.
so is dying to ai planes
it's like
okay???? was there something i was supposed to do about that?????
So my controls got messed up and while I was fixing/trying them out during a test flight this happend

I just started playing this game, tonna fun.
I've seen people do like replays and stuff, but i've tried googling to see if I how I record replays but I cant find anything, how do i record?
Hoping ground forces adopts a similar system to planes where if a crew member dies they stay dead, at least for simulator. I had to kill a tiger's gunner+commander 6 times (each) before the tank finally was "destroyed", I'm no expert on tanks but I'm pretty sure the tiger doesn't have 12 crew members.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;44890420]which is goddamn annoying

i wouldnt even bother with that since shells seems be able to land 200 meters apart on the ranging sights every time.
its not even a matter of being able to aim but more so waiting for rng to hit them.
I started playing this the other day and boy the damage model seems kind of fucked, sometimes I can spend an eternity shooting this one tank in places that WOULD do shit (driver's port, turret, etc) and not kill them, or turn my turret, shoot once at an enemy tank, and just ammorack/crew-kill them.

And you're always at the exact same range, hitting the exact same angle? Unlikely.

They do stay dead. The timer is the time it takes for Iosif to chuck Dimitri's torso-less legs out of the top hatch and take over whatever he was doing before he started doing giblet things. It gets a bit extreme when the final machine gunner of like a T-28 plugs himself into the Matrix and octopuses the entire tank's duties at once but whatever.
[QUOTE=nater;44890822]And you're always at the exact same range, hitting the exact same angle? Unlikely.[/QUOTE]
It's not an issue of bouncing off of their tank, it's an issue of penetrating and somehow not knocking shit out, I've had this happened to me before a lot in the T-28, where I sit there, eating up a bunch of penetrating shells and lasting for a lot longer than I should, often managing to finish up any repairs I need to do. :v:
i got 11 kills in sim battles in kursk

Yeah except that means the Tiger has an absurd amount of crew members in the game, because I shouldn't have to kill two positions that many times unless it just starts counting the commander and gunner as the same thing after the commander dies

It automatically records your last 10 matches. Go to Menu > Replays.
Jungle [Conquest] needs to fucking go.
Whoever thought "Parts" and "FPE" should be upgrades should be castrated.
Bots being objects with infinite mass, different models per team, and capturing points for one team and not the other; is awful.
That aside, I love just about everything else in tanks and have a picture of my copied, near-invisible T-34-57 camouflage to balance out the bitching.

Driving the stock tiger without parts or FPE is masochistic; first shot you take breaks your turret and or gun, next breaks tracks, last lights you on fire or detonates your ammo rack.
