Man, the low-tier French planes are super frustrating to fight. Not because they're strong, but because they're [I]so damn skinny[/I]. They're impossible to hit with wing-mounted guns, they just slip right between my bullets!

I have long since stopped caring about the XP and lions rewards. Beating my own record is the reason to play the duck now. And hey, I'm taking a nice chunk of the enemy victory points with me
Speaking of duck, did they remove the premium one? Shuffling through the store, i can't really seem to find it anymore.

how do you play the duck w/o getting swarmed by every player on the other team?
They removed the premium Duck from the store quite a while ago; shame since it is one of those premiums I was considering on buying.

Memorize map layouts and go to vehicles furthest from the centre. Keep an eye out for black dots on the horizon, wait for backup if it's a fighter or show my dominance in a head-on if it's a heavy fighter.

At least yours have semiautomatic aiming. Manually controlled missile vehicles seriously need to be brought down a notch in the battleratings. Sure, they can be fun and rewarding to play when you land them just right, but compared to the point-and-clicks, they are absolutely useless, and really, really shouldn't be treated the same in the BRs.
[editline]4th November 2017[/editline]
For the record, the Rakettenjagdpanzer 2 has the [I]exact[/I] same rockets that the Stridswagen 81 has, except at 8.3 instead of 6.7, and with no superb armour or main gun to back it up. Why is it rated so damn high, then? It's a 7.0, 7.3 vehicle [I]at most[/I].
having played both i think the Swingfire is actually worse than the RkJpz 2. the manual missiles aren't actually [I]that [/I]hard to control, the mobility gives you a lot more survivability/kill potential due to better positioning options and having no deadzone means you're not completely useless on urban maps/when someone gets close to you.

Surprising survivability due to 5 crew members and a middle body engine. They also fixed the "Commander controls the Missiles" thing so its not useless after a crew member dies anymore.
Yes, I know the missiles are awful.
having only 6 missiles is an unforgivable sin tho

[QUOTE=Riller;52835042]Tank Assaults is absolutely awful in all ways. Next to no rewards, the AI is terrible and cheats, and there's generally just no real reason to play it. If you wanna actually make progress in the game, I strongly suggest you drop both Assault and Arcade and go straight to learning how to fight in Realistic Battles. Double the RP, double the money, and if you ever feel like going back to Arcade, you are gonna [I]wreck shit[/I] with the skills you gain from realistic.[/QUOTE]
"Double" the RP with triple the match time is not a benefit.
If you want to grind, arcade (for both air & ground) is always faster.

Now only if they'd include that ATGM limit that they just put on the M551 on the MBT/KPz 70 as well. Since at least in x-ray it only has 5 ATGMs in stowage, and the M551 has always had the correct 10 I believe.

Air arcade is definitely a lot less efficent than grinding in air rb

Air arcade is, bar none, the fastest way to grind in the game. Both silver and exp.

Notice that this match has neither premium time, nor a talisman, nor any boosters active. [b]No[/b] boosts of any kind were active.
Base bombing scales linearly with time spent, literally nothing else in the game does. There is no contest.
[editline]7th November 2017[/editline]
I'd also like to add the fact that you're literally shooting yourself in the foot by playing RB, because you get 1/3rd as much crew exp. That alone is a huge factor.
After coming from wot, I have to say I suck at tanks in warthunder. It feels like whoever shoots first wins, and spotting targets is such a hassle. In city maps fuck it, so campy.

Bombard corners with smoke, especially with some comrades, and surprise everyone.
I'm not saying it's a good or sensible idea, but it does make for some absolutely hilarious scenarios once in a while.

You need to unlearn literally everything you know from WoT. They're entirely different games, hardly even comparable at all.

I barely see anyone camp in city maps. Well I do, but they die because I'm behind them. In fact, camping seems to get worse the more rural you get. Ash River and Korea with their commanding views, and Fields of Normandy with its amazing hedgelines. Fields of Normandy was basically built for binoculars peeking and small concealable vehicles.
Already have Wetmore's 51D-10 and used it to grind 85% of everything in the US aircraft tree up to era 5 or so, only missing the odd airframe and some bombers.
I am eyeing the P-47M for the good balance of air engagement capability as well as the odd ground pounding session, I have the other two P-47s unlocked with almost all mods for them installed, and I completed research for the 47N just a couple of days ago.
Is it worth getting the pack to complete my collection?

If it's still half off, i'd say get it. Every time i had it out for a pounding, it haven't let me down, and did really manage to surprise me in some tight turn fighting in air.
You just missed a sale where it was dirt cheap, sorry to say
The P-47M is incredible, though. Close to one of the best props in the game, and exceptional in literally every performance metric

Sucks about the sale, but I'll probably end up getting it anyway.
Not sure if owning every P-47 in the game (including foreign models) would be a novelty worth pursuing in the future, but the Jug is starting to grow on me. It's everything I like about flying the P-51D-10 and any medium bomber.
Air targets? No problem. Dive to attack, dive to escape, throw buckets of ammunition at anything highlighted in red without a single shit given.
Ground targets? Oh boy. Bombs for heavy tanks and bridges, rockets for mediums, ground attack belts for light tanks, light pillboxes, and everything else. No more needing to hunt down a hiding aircraft when tickets are in their favor, simply load ground ordinance and win the game almost [i]singlehandedly[/i].
Naval targets? Skip bombing with a three second fuse for anything bigger than a destroyer, rockets and ground belts for everything else.
Take damage? Unless its 12.7mm or more, it doesn't phase you at all. Eat a quick burst of cannon shells? Limp back to base, get back into the fight. It takes a lot of effort to kill a Jug, both for the would be attacker and the pilot flying it.
Nobody is safe.
