The armor can still do you favors, and the mobility is surprisingly good (especially in RB). Flank and use your sweet sweet APHE shells to harvest kills - I got talisman for the same tank, and I've actually come to enjoy it quite a bit. It's really fairly delicate, but the main gun absolutely eats anything it manages to penetrate

I remember a game with a buddy who was playing his Jumbo, while I was in my T-34-85. We were one some desert map and we were holding a dune with a bridge, but since he had actual gun depression it was mostly him doing the peeking/poking. There was a Tiger who kept trying to shoot him but couldn't get through his EXTRA THICC turret armor, so finally the Tiger got fed-up and charged him, trying to get on his flank.
Halfway through his charge down the dune he noticed I was right there and slammed on his brakes, trying to put his front armor towards me, but he over-compensated and gave me his delicious ammo racks. I bet the poor guy was super salty about it. :v:

Works every time.

The 75mm Jumbo is the good Jumbo though. At 4.7, it's ridiculous armour is actually an asset, as opposed to the 76's same armour at 6.0 where everything can pen it anywhere no questions asked.
airburst shells are a tiny bit broken right now

The only talismans I ever get are for rank 1 or rank 2 vehicles :frown:

At its own tier that tank can penetrate whatever it wants, and if you intentionally uptier it it's still an awkward trickshot that's difficult and restrictive to set up. It's cute that you can do it but hardly game breaking

Regarding the S.O.8000, I think it's a pretty shit fighter imo
Any average player in a decent fighter would obliterate it in a dogfight. It's without a doubt a great boom and zoomer at high altitude though. Too bad it takes ages to get to a proper altitude unless you get a bunch of idiots that commit into head ons with you )))

Uh it's faster than everything axis below 3km, I am pretty sure. At high altitude it's slower than Ta-152s and the like, but I'm certain it outruns every 109 at all altitudes, and every 190
And if a plane is bad at dogfighting, don't dogfight, duhhh
Does this game have any map with shittier balance than Port Novorossiysk in Domination? I've literally never seen the north team get to C before the south team, and this is counting shit like Hellcat, AA-truck and RU-251 spam battles.
Novorossiysk is quite easily the shittiest map in the game, it plays and looks like it was tossed together in an afternoon. No doubt it'll get updated, but really it's so unfairly balanced they should just remove it until then.

There's maps I think are worse from a gameplay standpoint and much less fun (Ash River, anyone?), but the balance of objective placement in Novo is just absolute bullshit. The actual combat that takes place is pretty good and fun, but god, the balance...
[QUOTE=Exooodus;52881598]is there anything i can do to finish an air rb game faster when the last opponent is some dude flying away at like 6000 altitude and im in an a6m2[/QUOTE]
wait until the destruction targets spawn and destroy those

Having bought it and the P-47M yesterday (why can't i maintain a budget? hmm :thinking:), I actually quite like it. It holds energy well after a dive, and the speed brakes let you stop on a dime and get behind someone if shit has really gone wrong. Combine that with a ridiculous ammo capacity and having 6x 20mm's and you can have a good time.
Plus, the rear mounted engine seems to leave you well protected and it just won't overheat.
The P-47M though: holy f u c k i feel kinda bad flying this. I'm still dreadful (just slightly less so) at Air RB, but it's the kind of aircraft that you have to try to fail with. Plus, US ground belts shred planes.
[QUOTE=Riller;52900646]Multi-player tank crews. Hype as fuck![/QUOTE]
fugggg I can't wait, I'll deffo shill money for this.
Aren't american planes bias? I have the most crews for America so it would make sense for me to fly US, but I feel a genuine sense of guilt when I play something that's overpowered.

I am disappoint.
But yeah, defo will get this on release, is it stand alone?

As far as I can tell, it is. Seems they're trying to make all expansions stand alone.

Needs the T-28, T-35, variants, and other landships in a fittingly named party bus/tank expansion.
just played a pretty nutso game, got 10 kills and basically turned around a defeat
i had the panzer iv H sat in a green spot on the map with three points in a big open field with half the map being city
the enemy team got so mad at my existence i had two fighters machinegunning me at one point, and a dude in an AA tank cutting down trees around me

I got mine today as well :v:
I had it researched but since they added that Do-335 variant before I had enough money to buy it way back, I put it in the backburner, but since I recently picked up germans again to get Begleitpanzer, I kind of accidentally finished researching that Do as well, so now I have a narwhal :D
And obviously because it's a plane I'm planning on using, I'm working on a skin for it, modifying a Me-262A1-a template because there's no template for the A1/U-4.
Anyone have any tips for using tank destroyers? I've been on full tilt the past few days.

Depends on the vehicle in question, Heavy TDs like the Jagtiger are born sniping machines with those huge armour values giving huge advantages at range. While a M18 is a flank and gank vehicle due to its thin skin and high speed.
