[QUOTE=Lord of Boxes;52901424]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.[/QUOTE]
not that bias, they have their weaknesses. i don't find them invincible in air RB, they can be shot down easily enough.
yeah, no need to feel gui-

I can't hit any planes at all with it unless they are pretty much stalled out :s:
This will need A LOT of practice before I am able to start using this against planes, will ground pound for the time being if I ever use it.

No idea what happened to the AD-2 there though, wreck seems to have bugged out.
Also these two master pilots crashed into each other while trying to do me in.

[QUOTE=Lord of Boxes;52903268]Anyone have any tips for using tank destroyers? I've been on full tilt the past few days.[/QUOTE]
Tiddies are typically better or at least equally armed than other tanks at their battle rating. They call under a few categories.
Heavy Tiddies (T95, Ferdinand, Jagdtiger, Tortoise, Ho Ri): These have a good gun AND good armor, but typically are pretty slow. Crawl towards the frontline or a slightly forward position, but if you are flanked it's all over. Also, all of them have either weakspots or other flaws that mean the enemy always need to be kept in front - and they'll also just get gutted frontally in a full uptier so be wary of the match set-up.
Medium Tiddies (M36, M10 Wolverine, Jagdpanzer IV L/70, Firefly, Achilles, etc): The point of these tanks is that they have better guns than the opposition, but trade it usually by having a casemate gun or slow turret. The armor is workable to sub-par for the BR and the mobility so so. You want to typically keep behind your team and outrange the enemy instead. On huge maps, some of the thinner armor tanks can actually take a beating (Achilles on Kursk for example) because of the range; but your best bet is to not get shot all together.
Light Tiddies (ASU-57, Marders, Na-To): These things have no fucking armor and ridiculous guns. You can snipe handily with them, but reposition often. If you're particularly cheeky, most are mobile enough to skitter around other tanks in a city and be played offensively, but won't survive a particularly loud cough.
Gun Tiddies (SU-100P, Flak Bus, Dickermax, Nashorn, Waffletiger, Sturmpanzer II, Ho-Ro): 100% gun. Just try to keep as far back with eyes on the front as possible and expose as little as possible. If you are doing RB, take them first because in a second spawn, planes are just going to badger you to death. Basically a light tiddy without the speed to maneuver in any interesting kind of way.
Fast Tiddies (Kanonjagdpanzer 90, Hellcat, whatever else): Flank and gank. Ignore that it's a tank destroyer and play it like a light tank. Use the ludicrous speed to get around the enemy all together and start deleting them - even if it means you have to skirt the edge of the entire map. If it's a closed-in city map you're kinda fucked unless you exploit a breech in their line and start having fun. You absolutely should not be near the center of your team or the fighting in these.
/useless advice
Mind, this is mostly for RB. Arcade is just kind of a shitshow so if you're a snapshot with eagle eyes, best gun is your best option all the time - but if you're more average or just want to relax, take whatever the flavor of the month tank is instead of tank destroyers. (Or play shit like the Sturmpanzer II and Brummy for !!FUN!!)

IL-2's team announced some interesting shit, and I'm sure what most of you will most care about is this:

I will be defiantly looking into this, I've been wanting a realistic non-F2P WW2 tank sim forever. ​
You guys ever thought of making a discord?
[QUOTE=madmax678;52901551]No T-35?
I am disappoint.
But yeah, defo will get this on release, is it stand alone?[/QUOTE]
A T-35 at Kursk's southern flank might as well have just blown itself up and saved the Germans the trouble.
Tweaked my 262A-1/U4 skin, made the markings white so they're visible against the black, and some other small tweaks.

So this just happened
which shell is it that penetrates, breaks your gun and kills your gunner with 100% certainty
i'd like 10
Probably one from Japan.
So my first ground kill in the Me-262A-1/U4 was worthy. An MBT-70 with first shot penetrating the roof of the turret, detonating ammo rack.

Can anyone give me a good rundown on realistic flying? Like how to do the fighting styles and what all the countries are best at and stuff.

Question: If I have a tank 50% researched before the change, will it still be 50% after the change or will it be >50%?
[QUOTE]All of the above mentioned changes will come into effect in one of the following updates but the exact date may still change, follow the news![/QUOTE]
I'm hoping this much needed update will be coming this week, I can finally start getting more late rank 4 - early rank 5 tanks (Panther II will be mine when it hits :happy:)
The last time they made RP changes, all of the research you have already made onto the tank stays in place (e.g. researched 100k / 270k before update will now become 100k / 120k after the update); I think any excess amounts of RP can be transfered over to another tank of your choice.
Oh, got the Centurion 10. Finally able to play with the big boys with my British without shovelling money into an endless pit with the 20pdr APDS!

...Aaand with the change moving all the Chieftains up into rank 6, I might need to grind a lot more than I had hoped to actually get a Chief, since it'll be locked behind a vehicle limit.
[QUOTE=Riller;52912008]
all the Chieftains up into rank 6[/QUOTE]
That is fucking dumb though, as it now pretty much means that every single rank 5 vehicle (for the Brits at least) needs to be researched to gain access to Rank 6.

Guys, you only need 3 vehicles to access rank 6. So, in case of Britain, you grab the Cent mk 10, Vickers MBT and a Conqueror, and you're set.

Im just about to unlock my Conqueror thus this makes me very happy.
Edit: wait I will instantly unlock the conq when these changes happen, neat! Ill start working on other stuff :)
And the swing fire will still cost 380,000, what a load of bollocks. Lol.
