So how good is the prem US mustang, in terms of money making? Or would it be a better idea to give the extra cash, and buy the advanced pack?

P-51's fairly solid in RB, but will leave you wanting in AB. The Japanese one is the same, but Zeroes are even less easy to use - though you may have fun in AB with it. If you want a clap money maker, try the BTD. And as always, test drive the premiums before you buy.

I also thought the Peshka was supposed to print money?

[QUOTE=Sunkite;45351661]So how good is the prem US mustang, in terms of money making?

It's amazing.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;45351779]Advanced pack is much better value for money but the Mustang in RB is probably one of the best props in the game. It's amazing.[/QUOTE] Decisions, decisions. I'd probably end up with buying the advanced pack, since I then get enough geagles to buy the BTD :v: How are you supposed to use that plane anyway? tried it in a testflight. It feels slow and rather sluggish. Get big bombs, drop them and take down bombers afterwards?

The Mustang is an [I]incredibly[/I] sleek airframe while also being quite heavy. Once it picks up speed, it does not slow down easily, it retains energy extremely well. The wingloading is acceptable so it can dogfight very effectively, it has one of the highest top speeds of any prop aircraft. Combined with an extremely high amount of ammo for overperforming 12.7s and you have a pretty good plane. Just go fast, bust fighters, rake in cash.

Thanks for the info.

WEP and 30 degrees it does comfortably, but you may want 15-25 for speed. 2 x 1000lbs is the best general purpose payload. They're internal, so you get two drops. 6 x 250lbs is actually 5 drops because two are external and drop together, plus 250lbs don't do much cept to small ships and light pillboxes. Hunting bombers is a no-no unless they have poor defenses or are injured. Hunting climbing/oblivious fighters is a yes-yes. With a speed advantage, you can climb away easy. [B]World's Sexiest Airbrakes[/B]. If you're confident, you can instantly match speed and park on someone's ass. (Not a good idea if they're more maneuverable.) It just looks sexy. The twin 20mms do surprisingly good if you work the convergence right. In Arcade (god help you) it gets bomb sights in third person mode for all internal payloads, but no actual view mode. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQIizyOaTvU[/media] Thirty seconds onward.

Goon, Shibbey. Someone. I.. I bought the Talisman. And spent the gold scraps on crew training. And gave them silver training. (Gold was another 1200, fuck that.) The crew level is almost at four digits. SEND HELP. Of course, now that I'm all prepped, I'm given nothing but teams where some inebriated fuckwits leave potatoes on their keyboards. Aha. AHA.

[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;45353323]I gotta get in on this shit.[/QUOTE] FUCK GETTING ALL THE UPGRADES FOR MY PLANES. [B]NEW GOAL[/B]: GET ALL TU-2 SERIES CAMOUFLAGES. At this rate, I'll have all the Russian jets in about 100 - 150 battles. The average is 10-15k RP wins and 4-8k RP losses.

How much did that cost you?

Talisman was 1800 Gold. Crew training is... 360,000 silver or so? Here's what a normal "no one humped my butt" match looks like with premium time running too: [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/qXqKxP.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/yyaLK7d.gif[/t] [I]It prints money! [/I]The only downside is 20-30k repairs, which it makes simply by existing in a match. I died once without doing anything and still made 10k profit. Without premium you might lose slivers on bad losses, but that's it. It actually makes more money than -real- fuckin' premium planes.

That's not too bad, only costs "14". Can't wait to see what currency that will be :rolleyes: Fuck off, Norway doesn't use Euro.

[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;45353576]That's not too bad, only costs "14". Can't wait to see what currency that will be :rolleyes: Fuck off, Norway doesn't use Euro.[/QUOTE] Use the Russian store if it'll accept your card or PayPal. It's far, far cheaper.

[QUOTE=goon165;45354027][B][U][I]THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BOMBER NOT AN AERIAL SUPERIORITY FIGHTER.[/I][/U][/B][/QUOTE] There's something magic about the Russian fiddies. Even the lesser Tu-2s regularly triplefuck planes. It's just the -59 has that nice 20mm shoved in there too, so the fiddy can fuck engines and pilots and the twendy does all the heavy lifting. God have mercy when the Tu-4 / Tu-14 / IL-28 become a thing. I ain't no fan of Noodlymans, but I have a feeling they're going to be the bane of Korea jets. Only real threat I've been facing so far are 410B-3/R6s hunting for B-17s. I can usually critically injure them, but those Mark 103s just plain do not fuck around. The occasional tail/elevator crit also spell death. Missing landing gear also spells a 50/50 chance of death. [QUOTE=lolburst;45351537]If prem Peshka had more ammo for strafing I'd probably like it more, even though it's pretty clumsy. Tu-2 simply broke my mind back in the suffering days of 20 tier system.[/QUOTE] I think now, the 7.62 and 12.7 can be bound to different keys, so you can waste a little less ammo while strafing about. I often just used the underside gun to do most of the work, though.

[editline]11th July 2014[/editline] Also I just won a game that was 4-1 against me, they were all following me over the mountains on korea, zapping a bearcan and knocking out the tail of a spitfire and maximum Schadenfreude as he went into a flatspin as he passed me. The other two, another bearcat and spitfire saw this and ran the fuck away letting me rearm and take out the rest of the ground targets.

One day we will Tu-Squad, and I will even play your silly RB.

[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;45354496]One day we will Tu-Squad, and I will even play your silly RB.[/QUOTE] Four Tu-2S-59s flying in formation. Anything that gets near the ass-end of the formation vaporizes into a fine mist to later be returned to the Motherland and snorted by Tupolev himself. Two be honest, two Tu-2S's using 9 x 100kg with good accuracy could win most matches. Three could easily.

yessss. And we dont fucking split up for separate bases, we should kill the shit out of base after base instead of trying to do everything at once.

[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;45354662]yessss.

Any map with Light Pillboxes as the primary target, you can shit all over.

Amazing. I just need to bother grinding to it..
