[QUOTE=Shibbey;46653118]If you make the map hugearse like Spain or Moscow or Norway then the jet bomber just has to alt tab out for a few minutes while it speeds to its target, slap spacebar a few times, turns around, and tabs out again it's still playing the same eurotruck 1944 adventure with no threat, just with the thrilling experience of taking off and landing instead of jumping out and queueing for a new match
It's no fun to fight and it's no fun to play and the entire maps shouldn't be reorganised around a handful of planes that were a mistake to add anyway. The B-57 and Canberra can easily fight at high ranks anyway because they're incredibly agile and accelerate quickly which makes them pretty great bait if they know how to play[/QUOTE]
it's not even THOSE planes, Bombers in general are the reason why they need to change the shit up. both teams are set up to smack right into each other on every map and it's fucking mindless.
Playing Hokkaido is an exercise consisting of flying into a wall repeatedly. the Canberra can drop and be out yeah, but then usually some fucker skirts the ground, avoiding your climbing fighters completely and jumps you while you land to re-arm. every other bomber playing that map you don't even get the luxury of disengaging and the fighters show up about 20 seconds after you get over the ground targets.
fuck I'm so mad I drew art

I wonder if I'll be able to cause shenanigans with the tow hook.
I was thinking if I pull up behind an enemy Zis-30 and haul ass, or will I not be able to hook it because it isn't friendly?
Realistic is a good concept entirely plagued by shit maps, shit line-ups, and shit objectives.
Arcade is a bad concept blessed by interesting maps, carefree line-ups, and comical objectives.
If they would open up Realistic to more maps, give some actual purpose to attackers/light bombers, and vary the objectives up instead of "WHO BLEEDS TICKETS FASTER??!?" then it might actually be fun. Instead, it's aerial CS:S with bomber wildcards and the ability for any plane to prolong the game into watch-paint-dry ticket bleed by hiding/running.
Conversely, Arcade is mind-numbingly forgiving and the line-ups actually make fighters LESS likely to win (go look, entirely in AB, at most plane kills v win rate vs. most ground kills v win rate.) Playing attackers can kinda be fun, even if there's literally no feasible way to shake people on your tail and gunners are as reliable as trying to shit in a indoor skydiving facility. That, and the maps are somewhat fun to fly on (Hidden Base) versus huge open expanses of flat. They, for some fucked-in-the-head reason started adding copy-paste-mirror flat maps to Arcade and it kinda confuses me. :v:

I [I]really [/I]hope they allow the tow hook as long as both targets are stationary, regardless of team. I would love to sneak up on a light tank, hook him, and just haul ass away in a medium.
[quote=Boris Polevoy]"The KV stalled. The fascists were interested in the new vehicle. They decided to tow the tank away. Two tanks were attached to it with steel cables. The driver, Grigoryev, was ready. He turned on the spare gas tanks and reversed. The powerful vehicle dragged the two enemy tanks. Grigoryev delivered the two tanks to his unit. For his courage, he was made a Hero of the Soviet Union."[/quote]
[quote=Lieutenant-General Popel]"In the heat of battle, the KV commanded by deputy political chief Zhegan went for a ram. The fascist tank was destroyed. From the impact, the engine of the KV stalled, and Zhegan and his driver, Ustinov, lost consciousness. Only the gunner, Mihailov, continued fire while he had shells. The Germans spotted a Russian tank, alone on their flank. Infantry crawled up, climbed up on the tank, started kicking the turret. Zhegan was awakened by this noise. Ustinov was already fiddling with the engine, but could not get it started. The Germans decided to tow the KV with the crew still in it. A PzIV pulled up, and the crew hooked tow cables on the KV. The tank did not move. Another try. The KV started moving. This movement allowed the engine to restart. Ustinov grabbed his levers. Who would win? Our engine was stronger, our tank was heavier. The fascists jumped out of their tank as it moved. The KV is here, right in front of us."[/quote]
Planes have race mode. Wonder if tanks can get tug of war.
Two times now, I have been killed by my own round. The round bounces into my gunner and I get instakilled. Anyone else have this happen?

Somebody should refit it and try to get it flying proper.

It is, in fact, an original Sushi extracted straight from Yokosuka technical arsenal.
Wikipedia says there's one other surviving example, which is a restored wreck that was found in a cave [del]with a box of scraps[/del].

There was some German fella who rebuilt the Me-163 from its original blueprints. Didn't stick a rocket in it, though, used it as a glider

You can never have to many Shermans, Shermans for everybody.
so after my long long stint of japan I've gone back to playing US (mostly so I can play with my lowby friends)
Holy hell how are these planes even real, and how do people do poorly with them. Thunderbolts and B25's are fucking invincible except to 37mm's and rockets, you can fire fiddies forever with good skills, and the hellcat is a bloody UFO
plus everything gets rockets
is this what being undertiered feels like
feel the BR flow through your veins
That feel when you spend all match being too late to every single fight and the entire enemy team crashes except for one IL28. That feel when you spend all match chasing said il28 and when you finally get to it, you chop his wings off.
Then some asshat zips by, pumps like 5 rounds into him and gets the kill.
