I've had someone pull that on me before. Just kill the AI spotters and your GTs will win.

I give up. I'm going back to ramming people. Or more realistically, getting a spade for the 109K and 152 before I come back. I had a straight row of losses in it.
One match actually had me and four props versus four Meteors and a MiG-9. You can't make that shit up.

Please, ramming is now encouraged in attempt to fix BR's.

I was at the Wright Patterson museum last week where I saw too much amazing stuff to describe, but this one is relevant to War Thunder. It's naked F-86 Sabre, the one with the cannons. When I saw it, the first thing I thought of was those people who say you can shoot a plane and have a bullet go in one side and out the other without damaging anything.

The sabre is an engine in itself, so that's to be expected.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;45121439]Big informative post that was great.[/QUOTE]
This is essentially exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Now I just need to learn how to get the upper hand in bad situations, but that relies on maneuvers.
They need to remove karelia from the fucking game, I'm pretty sure you could give a four year old the map editor and he'd grind out a better map.

Tanks in general are just pretty shit at the moment, the maps are awful and I'm sure any new ones will be arenas like the rest. At least it'll never get old killing tanks with the Chaika
I keep seeing teams composed of B-24s and B-17s and all I want to do is cry.

If only I still had the gif of me ramming a B-24 in an arado going 800km/h after diving on him
Interesting, it seems like in general, whenever I suffle any tank in and out of the trained slot, I get these results
When comparing the tank to the stock/nominal value:
Crew with maxed out reload skill (50/50) increase RoF by ~10-11% (I tried with KV-2, IS-2mod44, T-80)
Crew with maxed out reload skill plus Expert training (50/50 + 30) increase RoF by ~18-19% (I tried it with ZiS-30, SU-152, SU-100, T-34-57 mod43 and T-34-85 and all at about that).
Crew with maxed out reload skill plus Ace training (50/50 + 30 + 20) increase RoF by 23% (Tested with T-26, ZiS-30).
So yeah, maxing out a crew loader gives you about 10% higher RoF, getting expert training (bought with silver lions) yet get 8-9% on top of that, and buying ace training you get measly 5% or so on top of that.

Gaijin gibe T-10M pls
Gaijin gibe me P-47 Turbocharger.
[QUOTE=doomsniper;45130259]Gaijin gibe me P-47 Turbocharger.[/QUOTE]
More like P47-M.
[quote]In September 1944, four P-47D-27-RE airframes (s/n 42-27385 / 42-27388) were modified into prototype YP-47Ms by fitting the R-2800-57(C) engine and the GE CH-5 turbo-supercharger, a combination which could produce 2,800 hp (2,089 kW) at 32,500 ft (9,900 m) when using Wartime Emergency Power (water injection). Air brakes were added to the wing's lower surfaces to allow braking after a dive onto its prey. The YP-47M had a top speed of 473 mph (410 kn, 761 km/h) and it was put into limited production with 130 (sufficient for one group) built.[/quote]
Gib open TD's for Germany pls.
[QUOTE=BananaMed;45130444]Gib open TD's for Germany pls.[/QUOTE]
Because tanks in this game aren't absurdly easy to kill as it is.
Man, quick battles are filled with WoT players. You tell them to cap points - they park their arses in the nearest bushes and try to snipe.
Also we need more AA.
That fucking siren is so tiring. It's not emitted from anywhere in the map, just plays at some zones/intervals.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;45130330]More like P47-M.[/QUOTE]
It still needs turbocharger modelling to work! Whenever I look at the engine manifold, I cry every time.
[QUOTE=Hammer7;45131114]Also we need more AA.[/QUOTE]
Instead of being instagibbed 5km from the battlefield, instagib 10km from the battlefield?
Why not make AAA useful and dangerous the closer you are to it? And not the fucking "You're in the field of fire? Constantly roll two dice. If you get ever two ones, flip the table and leave the game."
Getting gibbed at 5km due to dice isn't fun.
It isn't also fun to see Cheeki Breekis hover around a horde of AAA guns unscathed for awhile.
[QUOTE=Hammer7;45131114]

Next content update should bring like 3 new AAA vehicles for Germany and 4 for Soviets or the other way around so you should be covered.
Man Karelia is so fucking annoying. I've quit out of that map 3 times so far because of how easy it is for enemies to spawn rape you. Spawn at point #2 because fuck the canyon, it's even more silly and despite spawn protection someone from around A just pops my engine so I'm forced to sit there and wait to die.
So unbelievably annoying.

Supposedly high explosive time primed flak had minimal priming distance of 3000 feet so 914 meters so 88mm and bigger guns shouldn't be able to shoot at you at ALL at lower distance, plus they should traverse slowly as hell. It's THESE fuckers who always pops you.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;45131484]Instead of being instagibbed 5km from the battlefield, instagib 10km from the battlefield?[/QUOTE]
Ground vehicles has no balance atm. Give it some time.
BT-7 is a rape machine while KV-1 is more like a metal coffin.
And I'm not even talkin about random instagib shots when a light tank can survive 5 shots in the engine and later oneshot you in the frontal armor with a HE shell from 500m away.

True that.
They shouldn't even have those on tank maps. They need more aggressive little machine guns and 20-37mm Flak type cannons to punish people for hovering.
What ammo does the NS-45 in the Yak-9K fire? I managed to knock out a jaggypanzer using it, but don't know if using the 9T's ground belts is more effective.

9K can only fire HE.
9T has AP rounds.
You're better off in the 9T, which has a magical flight model parred with slight undertiering. The 9K can do good too, but you're seriously all around better off in the 9T.

Found this pretty cool:
[IMG]http://www.23ag.ru/assets/images/USSR_Cartr.jpg[/IMG]
ShKAS 7.62, UB 12.7, ShVAK 20, VYa 23, NS 37, NS 45
No wonder it feels like the ShVAKs have no velocity.
Note to self, never play arcade again.
I played a few rounds.
My Ki-61 Hei got shot down in every round.
By a teammate.
In an arcade match, I had some idiot in a B-17 shoot at me with his tailgunner because "I called left base first, go somewhere else", so he lit up my Welli. Jealous 12yr olds flying B17s...check...
Heavy bomber pilots are the worst.
Either they're complete and total rejects with only [I]just[/I] enough brain cells to "point mouse at base, press space when pretty crosshair lines up, fail to properly return to base."
Or they're semi-good players who exploit the fuck out of bomber damage models and gunner aim, making them extremely frustrating to approach and engage - as you'll always be left with a critical something or other that cripples you in dog-fights.
[B]Source:[/B] Myself, who got through the B-17s by playing them as fuckin' gunships in RB (no shame) and averaging 2-3 kills a match.
Nothing quite like a fighter getting the bomber achievement, as a B-17 gets the fighter achievement.
