Why not make it the M3 edition?

That way we could've referenced guns, tanks, AT guns AND trucks.

vegeta's plan is pure genius

he foresaw the islamic invasion of europe and realized european genes are far too diverse, in order to accomplish his goals he got his girlfriend pregnant at age 14

when his daughters come of age he will impregnate them, the resullting childrens genes will be more pure than that of most europeans
he does not stop there however, he will continue the cycle and with each iteration the genes will become more pure

i would not be surprised if in 100 years his 5th generation son was the emperor of europe, fulfilling hitlers dream of one unified europe nad one pure master race

Yeah and everyone replies 'thanks doc'.
Eventually it just ended up getting people banned iirc so they'd just post purple and green shit and then would meme with that.

>>128090757
The point is that if you said "what kind of plane is that" and I said "it's a Mk II" you still wouldn't know what it was, you need more information: "it's a spitfire mk II".
If you say "what kind of rifle is that" and I say "it's an M4 rifle" you don't say "isn't that a ww2 tank xd?!?!?!" although you might because it seems like you might be retarded.
The M literally stands for "model", and it's meaningless without context, just like the "mk" system. Stop sperging.

>>128090981
Except that is literally the name of the tank, gun, truck etc. mentioned. The M3 Lee, the M3 Stuart, the 90mm M3, the 75mm M3, the 20mm M3 cannon, or the 20mm M2 cannon, the 20mm M24 cannon (ALL OF WHICH ARE NAMES FOR THE 20MM HISPANO).

>>128090981
>What tank is that?
Oh, that's an M3
>No way, the M3 has that big gun in the hull and the smaller one up top.


Spitfire is the actual name of the plane, the model number is just the model number, unlike the American things, where M3 is the actual name, and Lee/Grant/Stuart are just nicknames.

>>128090981
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1

So you see nothing wrong with the "Firearms and military equipment" section then?

>>128091141
The proper name of the vehicle is stuff like "medium tank, M3" or "aircraft cannon, 20mm, M2". Again, without context the M-number is meaningless, which is why they supply context when they name these things.

>>128091387
>without context the M-number is meaningless
A name that doesn't work if you don't have context.

Brilliant. Pure military genius. How incredibly efficient of the Americans. Instead of using combinations of the 26 letters in our alphabet and the literally endless amount of numbers.

>>128091387
They have to add context because they fucked themselves. Nobody has to say "Spitfire airplane."

>>128091278
...no
The flamethrower is called flamethrower M1.
The helmet is called helmet M1.
The bayonet is called bayonet M1.
The rifle is called rifle M1.
If you got told to put your M1 on your head, fix your M1 to your M1, and charge the enemy, would you put your rifle on your head and fix your bayonet to your helmet? Are you retarded?

Stamina. You can still be draining stamina, which you might only have a sliver left, just by pulling minor Gs.

>>128093435
I saw a screenshot earlier that had "stamina: x" in the hud like engine temp and heading, was that a shop or is there actually a way to display stamina in-game?

Is time till GLOC constant? When does it start?

>>128094176
Check your crew stats, it'll be somewhere in either Stamina or G Tolerance.

>>128094301
What about us posh types who play with our dicks out?

5-6Gs?

>>128094341
It changes from plane to plane, honestly. I pull 11Gs all the time in my nazi tempest with no adverse effects, but lose control at 6 in a zero.

>>128094440
Probably crew skill sempai.

>>128094176
Depends on stats but you can reliably pull and hold 6-7Gs
I can edge wing overload in my Horten at 11Gs for maybe five or six seconds if I REALLY need to evade, but other than that you're better off staying at 6-7Gs and 9Gs if you really need to pull up.

>>128094176
Best guess is that you start draining stamina energy once you go over the g limit listed in the crew skill page (governed by g-tolerance skill), stamina drain rate being proportional in some way to how far over you go, and then once you drain all your stamina you "lost control".

>>128094773
So really G-tolerance is the single most important skill now.

>>128094834
Vitality is WAY more important than G-tolerance.

>>128094834
Always has been.

>>128094902
Why? I don't get hit. :^)

>>128094902
Kek, nice one anon.
It just gives you SLIGHTLY better RNG for getting pilot sniped. Though it could just be the Horten because almost half of my deaths are from pilot snipes from a single round. Any other plane I don't have this kind of issue.

>>128095092
That's because the Horten's cockpit is huge and centre target. Same with the 410.

>>128095182
>tfw pilot sniped from the rear by a stray round from a friendly trying to clear your six
>He won't take it's okay for a response when he starts apologizing profusely
I've been pilto sniped from behind in a fresh 229 more often than I'd like. Doesn't help the pilot's head is above the fuselage and can be hit without hitting the plane itself. I'm probably just making something out of nothing.

>>128094978
Shit happens, anon. Surviving 23/37mm cannons is pretty damn handy.

>>128095334
Fremen levels of blood coagulation.

>>128095092
I imagine that's largely because the most common anti-horten weapon, US .50s, are largely ineffective against the rest of the horten. Easily 75% of my horten kills in the p-80 were pilot snipes just because when the bullets land in other places they don't really do anything the other 25% are from bullets landing in other places and not really doing anything and then the 229 pilot throwing the mouse across the room, breaking his wings and awarding me a kill

>>128095308
Nah, the hortens cockpit really does have shitty positioning. It becomes really clear with a few aircraft. I know people bitch about the 410 not have an armoured glass cockpit is because they get shot through it so much, I've had it happen to me more than enough.

>>128095334
that's probably the FI-T rounds hitting somewhere near you, difficult to say if it would've killed with lower vitality

>>128095401
Go for the wings, least in my experience that's the other main cause of death in it. Shots to the wingtips will cut it off and a good burst to the wing just outside the engine generally will either fuck the plane to hell or light it on fire irrevocably. Granted your goal is to just hit the fucking thing, specifying targets on it comes second.

>>128095570
Honestly shooting centre target is a pretty good tactic with the 229. You've got two engines and one pilot within close proximity, all of which are critical targets that can pretty much guarantee a kill.

>>128095684
It's a good tactic on all fighters as a general rule.

>>128095684
Are 229s as easy to hit as they feel? I get they can turn but in order to not rip you have to be very gentle with mouse movement and it feels like I'm just a huge target.

>>128095786
It depends on the angle. They're pretty flat compared to 262s.

>>128095786
I loved seeing 229s in my Bearcat. They were so overconfident in their turning ability, and presented a MASSIVE target going for a complete deflection turn, if only for a few moments. A few moments is more than enough with 20mm stealth rounds.

>>128095995
It's fun fighting F8Fs since 229s are a pretty even match. Always have to keep in mind as a prop they'll have a maneuverability advantage to some extent.

>>128096089
>pretty even match
No, not really. It's a jet.

>>128096142
>Only advantage the 229 has over the Bearcat is outright top speed
It accelerates like dogshit unless you're diving.
Least it feels pretty even to me, and I fly both the Bearcats and the 229.

>>128096089
>faster
>has air brakes, so it can get from fast to turn speed super easy
>engine isn't lava

>>128096089
Ehhhhhhh.... I would've agreed with you, back before Gaijin broke the Bearcats knees with a baseball bat and gave the Horten high performance fantasy engines.

Now it's more like a fist getting repeatedly smashed into my face every time I fly it.

>>128096089
>even match
in straight level flight a 229 is faster than a p-80
thankfully all a 229 pilot wants to do is turn so it's not a situation that comes up very often.

>>128096263
The 229 is one of the few planes I'm not afraid to engage in the Bearcat.
>>128096258
Zoom and then bank back around and dive as he comes out of the turn.
Most 229 pilots are too stupid to use the airbrakes anyways it seems.
>>128096302
>Sniping a plane trying to outspeed you in a straight line
If a 229 tries to roll he's a big shitty target since roll speed isn't that great.

On average it's an even match thanks to pilot skill level, it isn't if either of the pilots really know what they're doing, at least in my experience. It's different for everyone obviously.

>>128096443
Dude... no. It's not happening. The Bearcat is no longer an even match for the 229. Sure, I could probably come out on top vs a 229 90% of the time - but that's because I've got hundreds of games in the Bearcat, not because it's balanced. I've flown both the 229 and the Bearcat. It's not a fair fight.

Also, "pilot skill" is the shitty meme Gaijin has been using for shit like the F2H undertiering and other ridiculous shit. Don't embarrass yourself trying to use it as an actual argument.

>>128096443
So when paper 229 fights bearcat it's an even matchup because in some cases the 229 pilots might not be smart enough to win.
I'll remember that next time somebody complains about having to fight p-80s in their D13.

You must be really bored or just really bad at tier V to go to a custom and do that.

>>128096759
Start a 1v1, with no restrictions. It's always amusing to see what you get.

>>128096581
I generally have no trouble killing 229s on the off chance I'm not fighting an entire team of Doras, Slav UFOs, or Nips.
>F2H undertiering
It's sad because I shit all over those niggers in my 229. So maybe it isn't completely unfounded. I've had maybe eight try to turnfight me, two try to outspeed me in a straight line, I've baited a couple into low speed fights and got them when they stalled out.
I get the F2H would be fine at 7.7-8.0, but the pilots sure as hell wouldn't.
>>128096727
>Having a problem with P-80s in your D-13
Unless they run like niggers they aren't hard to kill. They just LOVE to go headon with everything and everyone as well.

>>128096849
>Don't embarrass yourself trying to use it as an actual argument.
Clearly you didn't listen to that piece of advice, so I will now assume you are the head of Gaijins balancing department.

>>128096849
Average pilot skill shouldn't enter the equation when discussing plane balance. This is the same shit Nabutso says when he talks about how F-2s are still the best 9.0s because they can win head-ons and that P-47s at 3.7 are fine.

>>128096849
>going headon

>>128096976

P-80A has a hard choice. They risk being tailed and beaten or forced in a turn they will not win.

Speed is king for the P-80 and F-80, it's practically all they have. So it's kind of a bad thing if the opponent is faster.

I mean, really?
All the Avenger has over the Comet is slightly faster RoF.

were well-armored tanks with guns like the ostwind a thing? feels like they'd be really effective, especially when the tank crews are actual humans who get scared by being shot at

>>128105257
This was a pre made mission already in the game

Is the KV-1 ZiS worth it?

100mm of frontal armor seems pretty great, but is it really better than 75mm of the regular KV-1s armor, + the higher BR?

>>128106223

Literally every tank with the 17pdr should have APDS. What the fuck is wrong with Gaijin?

PT-76 is pretty shit tier, which is why it isn't allowed to fight against T-54s and conquerors

So the Bulldog has an advantage in speed while the PT-76 has the more powerful and easily accessed shell. Yet the M41 is strictly limited to Cold War SB while the PT-76 gets to drive around and fight 1942/43 tanks.
Both should be allowed in Cold War events only.
If the M41 can effectively fight T-54s then the PT-76 can deal with Leopards and M60s.

We already know historical Matchmaking doesn't exist in this game, and it shouldn't unless historical numbers come with it as well.

What is fun if not having 60 fascist seeing rockets strapped to your head?

An engineer tank should be able to tow in AT guns or things like Nebelwerfers and deploy them like sentries. Discuss.

A soldier tank should be able to rocketjump. Discuss.

Also, hats when. We're already getting mustaches.

I'm pretty sure they used half-tracks and small tracked vehicles for those. Either way, fuck off with this TF2 shit.

An early idea I had was for some vehicles that could tow a gun in to position, deploy it, then switch control to it.
