>>160183128
truth be told its not a very good game. IL-2 Cliffs of Dover with the teamfusion patch is better imo but that doesn't work on cracked copies.

Just pick the game up on steam or something, it goes on sale for $5 or less frequently.

New to the game here.

I want to unlock the F-86 (north american version). I already have the second plane in the north american non-naval fighter/bomber section (i think it's the p-36). What are some ways I can unlock it fast?


also, what altitude should I be flying to BnZ with a prop-monoplane?

it takes about half year to get to jets, assuming you're not neet that can play whole day.
You can reach Tier 3 with no issues without spending a dime, but after that grind gets progressively worse and worse.
Premium account or talisman/premium plane incrase RP gain to 200%, 300% if combined.
Theoretically, you can buy boosters in in-game shop to increase RP gains even more, but quick math shows they're just all-around bad deal

i can bounce shots all god damn day in the panther just by giving people the wigly bigly

has nothing to do with them aiming poorly

i just feel bad for all those 76mm shermans that try to pen me when i drive the panther

Are you guys ready for the CBT to start on December 31st?

Why can I not properly land my plane? No matter how hard I try I can't get a 3 point landing. I cut throttle around 190 mph (which the instructor tells me is stall speed) but the plane just won't slow down.

On maps like Norway I'm just fucked if I try to land.

Does anyone know why the stat cards in game seem so inaccurate?

My theory is that whenever gaijin introduces a plane they build a FM from sekrit document stats but never actually test the FM's in game to see if they actually reflect the sekrit documents and the stat card is actually just whatever the sekrit documents say.

>>160195759
It's actually faster in the long run to just belly land your plane

>>160196291
Really?

I though the chance of your wings ripping off was really high.

>>160196427
Not if you don't fuck up too hard

You can still repair with badly damaged wings

>>160195759
don't listen to intructor
and deploy landing flaps

>>160196427
It depends highly on plane and I suggest pulling them off with planes that have engines under their wings. Otherwise you'd need lower speeds than usually to land, if you don't want your plane to disintegrate or kill your unleveled pilot.

>>160195759
Make sure you are low to the ground on approach, diving to land will just raise your speed more. Ideally you want to touch down right at the start of the runway going as slow as you possibly can to stay in the air. Then once you touch down use your brakes but not too vigorously. You can manually waggle your rudder some to bleed even more speed, and when you are going 30-50mph or so you can just spin the plane around to immediately stop (speed this is safe to do depends on plane, just keep experimenting untill you fuck up, then go slower next time)

How the fuck are you supposed to play the P40

>>160198172
Make sure no Japs get behind or beside you.

How do you win headons? I try to avoid them but there's always that moron who will pull a 1,000,000g just maneuver to headon you.

Fly the dakka bus

>>160201120
have bigger guns

>>160201120
You need to know the effective range of your opponent's guns. Fly like you are going to accept the head-on and just before you enter that range fire a short burst slightly above him, roll to one side and pull down a bit. Once you pass him, if he's in a more manoeuvrable plane than yours, you keep going straight. If he's in a less manoeuvrable one and he turns, you pull up and do a vertical loop, which should get you into a better energy state and a possible firing position. If he doesn't turn, you keep going straight, despite your manoeuvrability advantage. And lastly, if you're flying a Spitfire, you always turn and catch up to him using your superior warp engines.

>>160200418
Kinda neat. What's the price at 75% off?

>>160201120
If you have nose guns, spray a bit above the target considering his distance and roll/dive away. This may seem idiotic from them, but most players will keep flying into your MG151/20 or ShVak wall of death even if they see you break.

If you have wing guns and are maneuverable, immediately dive away and get on his tail as he zooms past you.

If you have wing guns and are American, pray and dive.

I want something semi-automatic, I prefer normal rifle stocked weapons, and I want something in the upper range of medium caliber, .30rem is a neat cartridge just a little less powerful than modern .308
I don't want an AR because I don't really care for pistol grips and the ar platform is ugly imo.
If I were to make an AR I would either use an ARES SCR lower or go for full on original A1 furniture with the slab receiver.

>Do you just outturn the shit out of shitfires?

Yes, the retards think they can turn with anything and you have a nice selection of A6M, A7M, Ki-43 and N1K spread nicely across the BRs, so you can rape any model you want.

>>160222049
Vepr hunter or pioneer are options in the AK spectrum, rifle and intermediate respectively iirc. You'll have to find somewhere to order them though, I know kvar stocks them.
Avoiding pistol grips some other neat options might be a Ljungman/Hakim/Rasheed, FN-49, MAS 49, Browning BAR, vz. 52/vz. 52/57, Garand, BM-59, M1A, SVT 40. The end of the list gets fairly commonplace but whatever. There's also Johnson, G41, or G43 but not exactly things you bring out to plink with every weekend. For the most part these are things you see at every gun show so I'm guessing you're aware of them, model 8s much less so strangely enough.

A1 parts kits are getting harder to find and more expensive when you do. I think I slapped one together for like 650 all said and done but never bothered to switch the lower parts over to the NDS repro once it came in. It's just sitting in the safe while I post the kit+a2 lower to trigger peoples autism.

>>160223023
>Do you just outturn the shit out of shitfires?
Oh boy you certainly do, the zeros virtually have biplane turn performance.

Japs have been the most fun I've had in this game in a while.
Quite literally have been winning nearly every match simply because the allied team almost always fails to climb properly and usually all dive on the first plane they see.

>>160223434
I did finally unlock the 229 and 262 but I've largely been avoiding them since German teams for some reason have become shit lately. The 229 has attracted a bunch of retards since nearly every match I play I see nearly half of them lawn mowing and attacking tanks and usually dying before I can even get to a decent altitude.

>>160224519
Also I should note that I was looking at a Garand but I'm worried about the rotating bolt action and water, also Garands are finnicky as FUCK when it comes to ammunition and don't get cheap.

There's actually a really nice M1 carbine at my lgs for 840, obviously a repro and 840 is quite high but it seems like just the right mixture of neat action, intermediate caliber (though on the low end of the power spectrum), comfortable weight, and aesthetics.
The aside from the .30rem cartridge the Model 8s are fucking cool because of the long recoil action, based JMBrowning

Brazilian M41C: In its final version, original gasoline engine replaced with Brazilian build Saab-Scania DS-14A O4 eight cylinder diesel engine with modifications to the rear hull and electrical system. Upgrade of the transmission package allowing for a top road speed of 70 km/hour. Night vision and a laser range finder added to the gunsight. Additional spaced armor added to the forward part of the hull, glacis plate and turret. Four smoke grenade dischargers were added to each side of the turret. Replacing the original 76 mm M32 gun with a 90 mm Ca 76/90 M32 BR3 gun with thermal sleeve and muzzle brake made in Brazil.

I've also read a long time ago that it used APFSDS, and it may or may not have had a DU penetrator.

Just dump all your crew points into G-Tolerance in planes and into Tank Driving, Weapon Reloading, Targeting & Leadership on tanks.

Crew/Pilot Vitality is a meme since you are as good as dead anyway when something pens your armor.

>>160244104
>G-Tolerance
shouldn't you do stamina instead? it seems more rewarding

vitality in tanks is a huge fucking difference because some tanks with weaker HE filler struggle to kill crew even with direct hits on a full vit crew


>>160244181
nah G tol. is the most important after that stamina i try tio keep them in balance

>>160244181
up to personal preference.
if you do 10 G turns all the time stamina, if you need that additional tolerance to pull 5-8 G turns constantly G-Tolerance.
in the end you will max these two first anyway.

Help, I feel the urge to come back and play Ground Forces again. Please remember me all the reasons why this is a shit idea.

>>160248412
all aphe shells got buff, slav nuke shells are even more nukey
sloped armor is even less effective

>>160248454
Is the grind still retardedly infinite and painful?

>>160248603
Worse. They "buffed" module RP gain but nerfed vehicle RP gain.

>>160248649
Sorry I've played less than 400 battles before dropping the game six months ago: what's this distinction between module and vehicle RP gain?

>>160248864
Module RP is the RP you gain towards unlocking modules like parts, FPE, tracks, artillery, etc. Vehicle RP is the RP you gain towards unlocking new vehicles. The RP you gain in each game is usually split roughly 50/50 between the two

>>160245223
Nobody cares about boats.

>>160249074
So now, if I understand correctly, you're basically going to research all the modules quicker, but you stuck with the same vehicle for like forever?

>>160248649
For a whopping 10%, too! Now instead of 100RP, you'll get 110! What a bargain!

>>160246997
no he didn't
for 10g turns, g-tolerance isn't going to help. g-tolerance raises the g threshold at which you begin passing out, but when you get above that threshold, you're going to pass out as quickly as someone with lower g-tolerance.
Stamina gives you more time until you pass out when you're above the threshold, and speeds up your "recovery", so you can return to turning again

Personally I feel you should level both to about the middle concurrently, but max stamina first.

Recently I've been wondering what would it be like if we could see maps normally played by planes in a tank's perspective. Turns out it's actually lots of fun to appreciate the landscape while trying not to spin the plane and seeing where roads will lead you to while dodging trees.

I reccomend it as a therapy if you're on a bad luck streak. Despite the shitty graphics, it's pretty relaxing.

Each map is essentially a MOBA map. After playing them a few times, you can get a feel for the "lanes", or the paths most traveled by players.

An easy way to cheat the game is to lower your graphics, so things won't render, allowing you to see enemy vehicles. It's quite easy to see a tank. Normally, they're painted with actual colours. The carcasses lying around maps are all a shade of brown. You can also tell when tanks suddenly appear out of thin air, usually if they come out from behind a building or object.
Another trick is the headlights kind of twinkle, even through smoke and explosions.

More good form is to bind the binoculars to a button, since I don't think it's done by default. Stay in a turret down position (enemy can't see you at all behind a hill/object), scan with your binos. Once you find an enemy, pull up into a hulldown (only turret is visible to enemy), shoot the bad guy. Finally, another trick is to use your coax/AA mg. If you're not sure about something, squirt some MG at it. If it's enemy, a red marker will appear, you'll get a "hit" message, and the tank will probably move. Shoot him quickly.

>>160279551
>Each map is essentially a MOBA map.
It's less evident than WoT, as I recall (haven't played that one in two years)

>An easy way to cheat the game is to lower your graphics, so things won't render, allowing you to see enemy vehicles
But that's exactly what I don't want to do: I want to have an immersive experience, and enjoy tanks; if I wanted to play with toys in a flat and ugly diorama I would have reinstalled WoT.
inb4 >enjoying

Anyway, thanks for the tips.

>>160279062

>I can't tell tanks from the environment

1 - Configure binoculars. They give a zoom level far better than the optics and the vision is slightly above the commander's cupola, so you can hide behind a rock and scout the area withouth risking getting shot or revealing your position. I myself bound it to the f key. So pressing once quickly brigs up binocs and holding it down repairs me.

2 - Look at the fucking map and identify open areas and woodlands. Hide behind hills and cover yourself within trees and bushes and let the niggers tread past, and then shoot them in the side/behind. Let the niggers who go full head on against the enemy serve as a distraction while you rack those kills. Remember that moving objects and cannon dust attract attention easily, so pick a very well-hidden place and stay quiet.

3 - Git gud

Why the fuck aren't allied tank positions marked on the fuckign map? Did the niggers no have god damned radios?!

>>160286725
Oh you think the whining is bad now, the M18 used to actually be FAST too. Not "above average speed than most tanks", as in "fast as fucking christ on a crossaint flanked the entire team by the time they've captured their first flag" kind of fast. It could actually consistently reach it's top speed of 72km/h, and wasn't as slow as your average tractor on offroad.

Of course, learning how to properly defend their flanks was far too much of an adjustment to the learning curve, so instead of letting peoples playstyle adjust, Gaijin instead nerfed ALL tanks offroad speed. Funnily enough, by now you can't even flank anywhere near as easily as you used to - even the dumb as rocks Tiger drivers know how to look out for their flanks.

But hey, naziboo whining inadvertently nerfed the Leopard before it was even added in game, so there was a silver lining.

Goddamn shame that 1C decided that tanks weren't worth their time developing, they genuinely had some amazing potential with that.

it's plenty to btfo jap ships and airfields and landed planes or anything that your fucking 14 forward firing .50 cal machine guns and 8 HVAR rockets somehow can't handle

>Sniping INDIVIDUAL CHINAMEN from opposing ridgelines on Korea never ever

Can anyone remember the source of that chinamen thing? I remember it being from an NZ tank crewman in his Centurion during Korea war, kept getting posted in the hype up to bong tanks.

How do I play Tiger II effectively?

Didn't get it yet though, just asking.

>>160290210
don't get uptiered
hide lfp
wiggle the turret
get good at using the railgun

>>160290210
Like a Tiger I that can only be reliably killed by most enemies through a small weakspot.

To each his own I guess.

>7 minutes of queue just to get shredded by a flakbus in a few minutes
I don't understand why Gaijin doesn't like having a high player retention rate.
