So the F2 Sabre gets the same guns as the F-5?

>>170690778
Tiger's guns are a newer model, but generally yes.

>>170690917
And let me guess, the nazis don't get anything that has the autocannons those guns were based on? Not even a paper jet like the 262HG?

Buying bushes is literally cheating

>>170691024
Why should they? That jet never existed off paper and the guns never saw combat. That's why they get the CL-13 instead.

>>170691024
Nope. No BRRRRRRT for nazis. Unless they get the German version of the Fiat G.91. I wouldn't hold my breath though. It'll probably be a spaghetti exclusive.

>>170691219
>the thinks there will ever be pasta outside the yuro axis tree

>>170691219
The F2 sabres guns aren't that good, it has too little ammo for how fast it fires and the guns jam instantly unless fired in very short bursts. Guns on the hunter are much better, and even hispanos are better in some respects.

Why are Spitfires hated by /wtg/ so much?

I only ever play Ground Forces so I'm not that well known when it comes to the air.

>RU 251 is premium

Well, time to delete this game, any hope for germans ever capping points in realistic battles is now utterly fucking dead.

>>170713714
>germans
>knowing how to play unarmored tanks
it would be like having your team full of hellcats, only worse, because HEAT-FS can't oneshot

>>170713482
Because players don't know how to sideclimb or boom and zoom so they get upset when they get killed by a slow plane that can't dive for shit but is ok at turning

depends on country, it means round used for target practice, round used for learning how to operate a weapon, or a dummy meant to tech you how to handle weapon before they goive you something with powder charge.
either way, it's the cheapest round you can make to be used that way: inert slug with tracer, inert slug, or plastic slug with empty case.

Some are more subtle, for example training grenade for Panzerfaust 3, is grenade-shaped gun firing tracer round. Much cheaper than using actual grenade.

>In 1935 the .303 O Mark 1 Observing round was introduced for use in machine guns. The bullet to this round was designed to break up with a puff of smoke on impact with a target or the ground. It was intended as a training aid only, for the observation of long range shooting where accuracy of fire was not always easily defined, even if tracer ammunition was used. The later Mark 6 and 7 incendiary rounds could also be used in this role if required.

Point it at them and open fire at 1200m, fiddies can hit an oncoming plane at that distance. Any smart player will abort the pass and change his approach angle, while a retard will give you enough time to correct your aim and give him hell.

it takes me 10 minutes to get to altitude, then another 10 to get to the battle, followed by me getting killed in a single burst

>>170738804
Well you're not giving us a lot of info. What nation are you playing? What plane? Do you sideclimb or climb directly to the enemy?
Generally in terms of shooting shit you should fly up to at least 0.5km distance and start shooting in bursts. In an ideal world you should kill them when the distance is =<0.35km

>>170738941
Play germany mostly, bf109 G2 is my favorite right now because gramps flew one

Tried both side climbing and climbing directly, both end with the same result, one just takes longer
I try to BnZ like people tell me the 109 should be used for, but then I get in some hits, dont get a kill and then Im shot down on the way back up

>>170737838
fuck they changed them?

Somebody got the kv 220 supercharger sound ??

>>170738804
RB is slow-paced in general

They should change the K-2's name to KV-420 with the KV meaning Klit Vrecker

xD

>>170739156
In my opinion, you should first learn the Bf 109 E-3 and Bf 109 F-1. Their low BR in realistic means you'll be on equal ground in terms of skill. Bf 109 is a decent BnZer but you should energy fight with it. If you see a plane coming at you from below make a shallow climb (like 60 degrees) and make them stall, since you'll have more speed.
Now climbing is rather simple, start off with 20 degrees, then just keep up with 15-17 degrees climbing angle. Your main goal shouldn't be angle though, but maintaining somewhere 250-260km/h speed when climbing (155-160 mph)

>>170739286

Waifu acquired.

>>170739156
When doing BnZ, you should never reach the same altitude as your target or go below it in a dive. Basically what that means is to open fire at a greater distance, and if you miss, do a smooth transition from a dive to a climb, while always staying above the target. The transition from a dive to a new climb should be smooth, so your target loses a lot of energy trying to avoid your pass, while you lose only as little as possible.

G2 is even better at energy fighting than it is at BnZ, but that will come automatically as you become familiar with it. I recommend whenever you get killed to observe your teammates a bit so you see what works and what doesn't with the plane.

>>170739656

>tfw didn't grind the KV-220 like a retard

>>170739529
what about ''cant kill shit'' problem, is it just shit aim, because I doubt planes were made to survive a full belt of 20mm

>>170739761
idk maybe somebody at the forum could ask, i havent have posting rights since a year ago

>>170739843
Ideally you should stall them out first or dive a low-energy fighter and shoot in bursts, rather than holding down M1. Also since the G2/Trop only has 1 cannon that means you shouldn't really go for bomber planes unless you can pilot snipe. Also what this guy said in terms of BnZing >>170739746
And don't fucking turnfight, you'll lose energy, which is what the Bf 109 lives for.

Why does gaijin make you grind on the fucking DEV SERVER?
Even EA got it right, why is Gaijin so inept?

>>170739843
And if you can't kill shit, don't worry about that. Not everyone in-game is Eric Hartmann and you'd be surprised how many people miss/sparkle their shots (Fuck, I once missed 200 ShVak shots whilst chasing a Typhoon). The YouTubers you watch are most likely just experienced pilots who've played the game for years.

>>170740305
im watching squire

>>170739843
Firstly make sure your belts are the ideal ones, then make sure to fix your aim, the crosshair isn't very well lined up with your guns, so you might need to aim higher or lower than your target

>>170740210
The only ways to do things they know are 1) Making you pay for it 2) Doing shit

>mfw when Gaijin does something well im like
>AT LAST

>>170739843
Turn off vertical targeting, if you have it. It's fucking stupid and basically means that you'll have to aim below the enemy plane if for e.g you have 500m vertical targeting but the plane is flying in a straight line, 300m in front of you.
