I-301 has two ShKAS and two UB in the cowling, and depending on source, either another UB, or a ShVAK, or a VYa-23, or even a Taubin PTB-23 in the nose.

King Tiger any good? Just got the first Panther after getting the Tiger, so wished I went for the Panther first as it feels generally better in every way.

[I]"Huh? Never heard of, lets see..."[/I]

[quote]
This was a variant designed for improve the armament of the T-60 and T-70 light tank, the designation goes for [I][B]P[/B]rotivotankoboe [B]T[/B]aubin [B]B[/B]arubin[/I], antitank of Taubin and Barubin.

The gun was fully automatic and used the lower 300 rpm rate of fire. It was loaded by 9 shots clips introduce manually by the gunner.

[B]Again the PTB-23 was not a suitable design, the clip was usually caught by the ejector and the yun jammed a lot.
In those stalinist times failure was a costly option and certainly that is the case in this weapon, Taubin and Barubin were arrested and later shot by the NKVD.[/B][/quote]

Welp.

What do you think? You can trim to push the plane harder in turns.

[Skwee]

cutting throttle so that you aren't propelling yourself towards the ground as fast as you can is easier.

[editline]5th December 2014[/editline]

[Timebomb575]

I just noticed that I have a premium Peashooter in my hanger now, did I miss something?

[Doom14]

still kinda annoying I can't reach escape velocity to outrun a bearcat with a slight altitude advantage BUT I'll have guns next patch so I'll just shoot them then.

Im pretty sure the unarmed cranberry is getting a BR bump and the armed cranberry is gonna be like 8.0 BR so you proooobably wont be seeing prop planes in either of them for much longer

[editline]5th December 2014[/editline]

god it really does make me physically ill that the F-80C and the Kitsuka are the same BR, who the FUCK thought that was reasonable?

I've heard that BR is not going to be a thing outside of AB

[editline]5th December 2014[/editline]

so like it wouldn't matter anyway

the effect would be the pretty much the same for the planes I mentioned tbh

when they implement the "historical" plane matchup system the Canberra/B-57 wont be seeing prop planes and the Kitsuka wont be seeing F-80s

[Wehraboo]

What's the ideal ammo to use for KV-2?

[Timebomb575]

2x Berezin UB is good enough, pair that with the best 23mm in the game and you have a goddamn stalinmonster on your hands.

They are not going to be "historical" matchups, they gonna be "planes that can handle each other".

I am pretty sure Bearcat still gonna dip into jets.

[Doom14]

Rev up those dev launchers, as I believe it's live for testing.

Yeah I know there's no redeeming thing about it.

this is why we need a 'Fly off the map to forfeit' game option, because to be honest it's really stupid how the maps are designed to be meatgrinders with no way out.

it becomes REALLY fucking obvious once you start playing jets. Hokkaido [B]IS THE WORST EXAMPLE OF THIS[/B]
