The art design behind all the aircraft is so damn cool, granted its basically Wipeout meets world war two, but I love the alternate history type of designs.

It's just a shame the rest of the movie save for the 20 or so minutes of fights is such a mess
I've always wanted to see more plane-oriented combat movies/shows/anime/whatever, but I don't really know of any. Suggestions?
Also, at some point the other day I got the F80C, The M3 .50's are such an improvement over the M2's. According to Wikipedia it was mainly an improvement in rate of fire. Is that all it is in WT? It feels like it also has better muzzle velocity.
There's always Porco Rosso.

AKA the biography of a tier I player.
The [B]Cockpit OVA[/B]. It's three episodes, two Japanese and one German. Don't know if it's any good, but a couple of people kept spamming it's .webms on /vg/ so I decided to pick it up.

This is just the anime side. There's a buttload of actual movies about flying. If you need a good one about the B-17, get [B]Memphis Belle[/B]. There's too many more to list on that front.

It shouldn't be, it's firing the same round. Who knows if WT's actually able to keep up with 20 rounds per second per gun, though.

I noticed when using the P80 that I was never leading my shots enough, and this persisted the entire time I was using it. Now using the F80C, I am consistently hitting, despite not really adjusting how I was leading.

Do you not watch replays on how you do? What got you killed, how did you get your kill and how you should improve?
I know the replay isn't as great as Tacviewer for DCS and Falcon BMS, but it's something.

Which fucking sucks. I had to upgrade from Twin R9 270s to a single R9 290 to have even a remote hope of getting decent framerates in this game, because crossfire caused massive flickering no matter what I did.

Good god, did you really buy a R9 290 just for War Thunder?!
I'm on a 270 and can max the damn game outside of tanks. And even then, my CPU is bottlenecking it a bit. :v:
Why is about 3/4 of player using american plane only?

[QUOTE=insistent;45309664]Why is about 3/4 of player using american plane only?[/QUOTE]
for the same reason half the playerbase only uses russia
because those are the countries with the biggest player populations
[QUOTE=insistent;45309664]Why is about 3/4 of player using american plane only?[/QUOTE]
Because American plane are best for fly and shoot.
Why does my AVG all of a sudden think War Thunder is a trojan?

I'm going to ruin this beautiful number and I'm going to check back in the game, I have too much free time.
Are the Germans still as frustrating to fly as before?
[QUOTE=Zombiespeed;45311304]Are the Germans still as frustrating to fly as before?[/QUOTE]
Depends in which mode and tier. I only really have issues with them in RB around 5.7-6.3BR.
Half of that is the trash teams I get shoveled, the other half is trying to fight jets in my K-4.
Just got addicted to this game last weekend, could I be invited to the squadron/steamgroup? IGA is ChonchFP, and my Steam profile is linked.
This ticket shit is the worst fucking thing imaginable in RB.
3 Props + 2 Ar 234s vs. two MiG-9s and three F-80Cs.
Oh look! Even after our last guy killed the last F-80C who was running the clock for ten fucking minutes in a straight line, we lost because the [B]GROUND FORCES FUCKING WON THE MAP FOR THE ENEMY TEAM AUTOMATICALLY DESPITE NO ENEMY BOMBERS AND TWO DEAD ENEMY BASES.[/B] [B][I][I][U][I]FUCKING AUGH[/I][/U][/I][/I][/B].
As in our team lost, despite counteracting FIVE enemy JETS with just THREE PROP FIGHTERS, because the map said so. Because the fucking map lets the Allied team autowin after a set amount of time by a huge margin. Because enemy bots [I]which add no value at all to the game[/I] were still alive. And people ask me why I'm an Arcade faggot.

I still have that shit happen to me in arcade, my team will destroy 3 of their bases and kill all but 3 enemy planes and we lose because we had our last AI tank gets killed by artillery.

Doesn't bother me in Arcade. I mean sure, there are those occasional matches where it's neck and neck, and then it's down to one unit each and I'm spewing out language as colorful as it is retching, but hey. I got respawns in Arcade, so I don't care. It just means my team was awful or I didn't carry hard enough.
In Realistic, when not just me, but my whole team pulls their weight like valiant heroes against some really low tactics and we [B]STILL LOSE[/B] because the map said so. Not because the enemy team did anything of value or skill. In fact the entire enemy (player) team is dead. It's just some bot that fucked off into low orbit and isn't doing anything of value. What really killed me is that our Ar 234s took out two of their bases, and they did not kill a single ground target - but Berlin's just that fucking rigged against Germany if you let it run long enough. Then again, it's a map where enough B-17s can autowin by bombing a single runway; whereas even with a team full of Do 217s, you'd need to kill two.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;45311702]do you have to estimate bomb impacts, or is there any way to actually measure it up with the hud?s[/QUOTE]
Realism give you no target indicators unless your a level bomber, IE a plane that has bomb sights for bombing while leveled out.
People use various methods to get the bomb on target. Stukas are excellent dive bombers, so you can do a 90 degree dive on your target, slap the flaps/airbrake and pull out of it after release. Or if you're like me, you find a semi-universal method. I use 30/30 - 0.30km from the target in a 30-degree dive will usually put the bomb right on target unless you're flying really slow.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;45311702]so I just got the Stuka, today is my first time playing WT. in realism mode, do you have to estimate bomb impacts, or is there any way to actually measure it up with the hud? as you probably can tell i'm not used to dive bombing.. most of my bombing is done in arma with target pods[/QUOTE]
just pretend you're going to ram whatever you're bombing and pull up before you're low enough for the explosion/ground to kill you
you can put a 1 second timer on the bomb if you feel like getting really close to the ground
That's how Bulge maps tend to go. Even more ridiculous at low tiers because [i]they still throw 15 AI B-17s at you.[/i] Yes Gaijin, I'm sure my He-112 or Bf-110 can easily kill 10+ Era 3 heavy bombers.
That said, I'll never go back to arcade.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Now to get the F-86-30's and Japan's tree will be ENTIRELY DONE.
Loving Beaufighter MkVI and X, I swear everyone thinks I'm a bomber, 8 times I got attacked head on, and every single one died before they got close enough for a lead marker.

I use to make that mistake when I was new. Even after a slew of nerfs and readjustments, the Beaufighters are all criminally good. The VI is still the epitome of seal clubbing; the introduction to the big book of War Thunder clubs.

That movie is one of the reasons I'm so excited for the Shinden and the Wyvern coming to WT.
Also, how the hell does that flying wing bomber take off?
