If a medium is top of the BR range, or bottom of it, it gets two spawns. A heavy on the other hand always gets only one.

Can't prevent player retardation m8, and some nations attract more retards than others (cough Germany with the shiny famous Tiger tank cough)

It's like American air forces but with less BR handholding.

>>122805152
Look at the edge of the wings, they have essentially little brakes that come out to give a similar effect to a rudder movement

>>122805152
If it works any way the same as the 229, it relies on flaps and air brakes to simulate the rudder.

>>122805152
They usually have drag flaps on the tips of each wing. Something like the YB-35 may be able to do that because of the distance between the outer engines, but I don't know if they actually did.

>>122809302
I'm not even talking about wing rip due to G forces, the F8F-1 can rip it's wings from just speed in a shallow dive from top speed (700km/h was the number floating about as the point that it's wings fell off).

The F8F-2 had a 50km/h high top speed with minimal structural changes, meaning that according to Gaijin it's wings would snap in a straight line. I'm just using it as an example to show how retardedly nerfed the bearcat has become.

This has been said literally every fucking patch since the RP system was even implemented. If ANY of you were right, we'd be getting dribbles of 100rp for killing 12 people by now.

The reality is, RP has only been changed in a way that could be called a nerf two times

1. The change to RP in the first place, because the RP system is and always will be ass

2. The change of how RP is awarded for different actions and how multipliers work

If you really think RP has been magically nerfed you've got rose tinted glasses as thick as milk bottles.

>>122817469
>sit and play 20 matches within 24hs to get the same reward as a x2

Either your maths is fucking terrible or your utter shit at the game mate, nothing more to add to that one.

>>122817710
2x was like getting 5 games worth of RP for free every day. That's like an hour. You got rewarded as if you played the game for an hour longer every day than you actually did. Maybe you, the got-gud wallet warrior grinding expert playing 18 hours a day didn't care about that extra hour's worth of rewards, but if you're only playing for a couple hours that's still a huge bonus.

>>122818364
How'd you get 5 from 1x2?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokosuka_MXY7_Ohka

Does anyone else actually want to see this thing in game? I don't play Japan but I think it'd be funny, 3-4 minutes of fuel, enough explosive to destroy one ship, really low repair cost.

>>122818364
So I need to say this again, do I?
>For one, single match for an entire day. You wanna spend a whole year trying to unlock one plane that way, be my guest.

The RP doesn't magically transfer nations, you're still only contributing one games RP into one nations plane. Also, if you're playing "a couple hours" and playing multiple nations, why the fuck are you complaining about RP rates? It's clear you're not going to get anywhere significant with or without you x2 RP crutch. This is a free to play game with a fucking shitty grind, deal with it. I don't give a shit what you think about me, you're the one pandering to Gaijins marketing tactics by being drawn in everyday by a useless amount of RP under the illusion that you're getting somewhere faster.

So now that it's removed, what the fuck do you even do? Play one match in every nation until victory and then come and shitpost on /wtg/ about how RP is been nerfed and you miss the good ol days of x2s? Or do you actually play more than one match in a single nation now that there's no logical fallacy convincing you that you're wasting RP by not playing every other nation once a day?

TL;DR the x2s were always a useless marketing ploy, they've been replaced by another useless marketing ploy in the form of daily rewards and boosters, get over it.

>>122818634
5 x2 games in 5 nations = 5 unplayed games worth of RP. Better than the retard who though 1x2 = 20.

>>122818634
It's 5x2 you braindead gaijinshill

>>122818761
You wanna waste an entire match on the same amount as damage as a single bomb from a bomber?

>>122818929
Oh okay, I get it. I don't really know much about RP economy because I never bothered doing 2x games. So I was like what the fuck is he talking about, playing a game at 2x will only get you 2x RP not 5x.
Never occurred to me that someone would actually play all 5 nations every day.

I hate USA 5.0 tanks. Every game is at BR 5.7 or 6.0 and the enemy literally just points and clicks anywhere on my tank for a penetrating hit while I have to get a flanking shot (and first-hit success because I won't get a second one) to accomplish anything. The M18 is the only thing that makes this even remotely bearable because you still get one-hit but at least you get to be fast.

What makes it worse is that I went and unlocked the Tiger hoping to get to be the guy who ruins 5.0 tanks for US players but I just get stuck in 6.7 games.

Does it get better or should I stick to slavs?

My friend is a banshee pilot. He lawnmows and turnfights and gets mad that his jet was shot down by zero. I don't play air battles with him anymore.

Did they nerf the ammount of points you get for killing ai tanks and boats in air realism?

>>122832308
Yes, ground rp is nerfed for fighters. You get more rp if you're flying an attacker or bomber.

On the topic of Tempest climb rate, I read (I think on here) that in the Mk V I should climb at 300 kph IAS, can anyone confirm?

>>122830713
Remember, when AI B-17s shoot down 262s it's because the AI is overpowered, but when the AI Pe-8 shoots down an F2H it's because the players are retarded.

If you're gliding back to the airfield, is there any point in where you should use flaps?

>>122836235
to land more slowly once you are almost over the field
to increase your descent rate if you are high on energy and don't want to burn it in turns
to balloon yourself over the threshold if you are going to touch down just short of the runway
to make sure your flaps work and won't crash you if you deploy them at the last second

Nope. You actually have to find the point of pitch where you have the lowest lift/drag.

>>122836671
>lowest lift/drag
lol

Yeah the easiest way to find your best glide is to switch to virtual cockpit and see which speed puts the flight path marker the furthest away. In terms of War Thunder, however, you should fly as fast as possible while still being able to reach the field (aiming a little short for your slowdown distance), in order to get back in the fight as quickly as possible and spend as little time helpless as possible.

Back when I was autistically spading the F-82 when it first came out I found myself the last man on the team on New Guinea, so I packed up some bombs and (in 3 trips to the AF and back) killed all but one of the carriers and head-on'd three japs before the rest of the team figured out what I was doing and stopped attacking me head-on. It was really fun. Sneaking around low-level is very exciting and it's a shame there's literally no reason to ever do it.

>>122837906
Yeah, low level raiding feels pretty cool.

A shame it's hardly ever decisive.

Why are Doras fire proof? like is there a historical reason for it or is it just Gaijin? I personally have had two fires go out in one life, and every time I set one on fire it seems to go out.

Bongistan when?

>>122839162
The place you're getting your numbers, wikipedia, says 410 mph at 23k ft. It is probably very slow at sea level.

>>122841127
Probably still faster than any other bomber with that payload at sea level.

>>122841398
>A26

>>122841398
Faster than bombers with similar payload, i.e. still so slow as to be ready-made fighter food. The F-82 at ~350 mph at sea level (in game) is still easily intercepted just because attackers will always be diving, giving them tons of extra smash. The only planes effective low-level are the ones that are as fast in the level as their opponent's break-up speed, like the jet bombers or 229 when they first came out, or the Arado back when there were fewer F-80s and more F8Fs for it to play against. Anybody else down low is just an easy target.

>>122838240
going at high speed can extinguish fires, though I've seen several planes on fire at low speed extinguishing them, with and without self-sealing fuel tanks

You're right, there's no way that could be the case.

It can't just be that War Thunder is shit and Gaijin dropped the ball with another patch.
Your argument would hold up if a similiar MMO like Armored Warfare released in the same time frame that stole the playerbase away.
Otherwise you're grasping at straws, was MGS5 also at fault for Gaijin's continued failure?

high tier is more stressful than lower tiers at first but like many things it takes time to get used to. the tanks the guy mentioned do make the game a bit more bearable. high tier definetly isn't as fun as lower tiers especially when you're in something that doesn't have HEAT and you're fighting T10Ms.

Could some anon please draw up a map of Stalingrad for idiots?
I played this map several times already yet I have no idea which routes to advance down, where to expect enemies from, where good fighting positions are.
The entire map is just a mess for me where I drive around confused and happen upon an enemy by surprise.

I just went through a realistic Battle without encountering a single enemy.
In an M18.
I don't get this map either.
