First for IS OF BALANCE)))))))

I WANT THAT A-26!

So BnZ is basically attacking from an altitude advantage, take a few potshots at the enemy but go back up if you failed to kill him?

>>170811182
yes
but then they hover up to you and kill you )))))

>>170811548
youre a terrible pilot if youre letting that happen

Anyone else got problem with spawning? I can't spawn for a second time toady becouse nothing happens when I click To Battle

>>170809050
no, they're of little use, and not worth perfomance loss. Also no stealth belt for them.
20 mm is great killer, accurate like hell too, stick to it.

>>170812240
>t. spitfire pro

>>170810556
New A-26 only seems to be good at killing tonks and thats it desu.
16 rockets tho
no pure APIT belt too for some reason

did anyone see how close they can get a shell to land aiming the Sturmpanzer all the way up?

>>170812582
did they fix the HVAR accuracy? I noticed they were much more accurate on the dev server compared to the normal game...

>>170812697
Can it really be used as artillery?

Up to what tier is it effective like that?

>>170812697
Is that the TD with the 150mm?
That's not going to be a premium is it?

As it stands Gaijin will have to either change the objective of ground forces completely or face the death of the game.
There's no balance or thought in this game, the matches are always steamrolls and there's no struggle towards chokepoints like other multiplayer games, the objective of capturing the point always gets taken by the team that has the lead in kills
also armored cars when??

Slenderplane is ok-ish, don't expect miracles to happen though. You outturn Spits at mid to high speeds and outroll them, but that's all you have. Griffons are truly the cancer of this tier. If you want to fly it, remember to take high fuel loads (45 min or 1h) so the CoG is placed better, giving you better turntime.

I know that feel

I recently got myself set on the goal of at least the P-80 and first Panther but I've got a long fucking way to go.

Whats worse is don't have money to spare for premium so an already mind numbingly frustrating grind becomes even more so, earning no more than 2k RP a match, mostly just 1k.

It took me 2 days at 6-7 hours of playing to unlock the F6F-5N and its shit

Question, do you gain more experience by fighting in higher tier battles? Or should you always stick to units that have the talisman? I'm trying to grind out two tigers and it's killing me inside.

Also, why do people mix planes into their lists? Can use use planes in tank battles? I thought the game just gave you whatever bomber or fighter randomly in tank battles.

>tfw just had a 10 minute dogfight with ta 152s in my P-51D-20 NA

Forgot to mention, I am talking about planes. Thanks anyways, I guess.

>>170833224
I think you might get more depending on tier, but it's negligible
You mainly want to focus on the reward percent the tank rakes in, it's available on the stat card
>>170833395
Well, I don't play planes much, but one that I do play for fun is the slav hampden
you barely ever get uptiered and retards engage you at super close range so you can just snipe out their piltos or engines with the rear fiddy
just watch your own pilto, he has narcolepsy and often falls asleep at the drop of a hat

>>170833224
You can use planes in tank battles.
You get massively reduced RP for researching vehicles more than a tier away from the vehicle you're using.

>be brown cheeto in brown map

>>170832918
Have to agree. My 1.3 lineup rapes everyone:
-Sd.Kfz 140/1
-Pz.38(t) A
-Pz.3 B
-Pz4 C
-Flakpanzer 1

Whatever the 4C doesn't kill the 140/1 or the Flakpanzer finishes. Don't even need the 3B or 38(t) A.

Okay, so as someone who's spent a whole day trying to get the Pz4 G should I be playing tier 4.3 to research my tiger tanks next or use my talisman tanks?

Also should I get the Stug3G before that so I at least have another 4.3 because I got the Flak88 and that thing is slow as shit and hard to hide around corners.

>>170831895
that's literal definition of "jet" arcade. "Jet" in quote, because majority of both teams are B-29s and Tu-4s.

>>170834417
talisman tanks

>>170834325
In arcade you can do well even at a full uptier if you goad your opponents to make a dumb mistake and run away from opponents too smart to make dumb mistakes.

Pay attention to the location of your opponents and allies and get non-biplanes to turn with your biplanes. You'll win unless they're in a zero or early spit and turn with flaps.

>>170834325
Get rid or the 2.3 and wait till you have more of them

>>170834702
Unfortunately I'm playing against rocketships in biplanes and a single dual engine that can't climb for shit.
Not to mention I sat behind a lagg sticking 12.7 up his ass for almost a full minute and he didn't go down. So not really.

>>170834325
I'm starting to wonder if PvP rating has something to do with it. I make my lineups always within 0.3 points of eatch other and I'm always fighting guys who are a whole tier higher than my highest tier, which should mean that I'm always the lowest tier player in all these games. It's kind of disparaging after a while because you're always playing the underdog who hides behind everything, and is always targeted first for being the easiest kill.

This is starting to not be worth it anymore.

>>170834417
check stats in statcard, it says how much RP and SL vehicle brings home. Generally higher BR, more gains, but also harder battles.
You also get small boost of vehicle research if you research it using vehicle from the same branch.

>>170834905
It isn't worth it anymore.

The game is shit.

>>170834325
don't mix planes with very different BRs, because matchmaking doesn't average them, but uses your top vehicle.

>>170834859
Don't bother using low caliber weapons against anything besides biplanes. Grind as quick as you can until you get a plane with at least two 20mm cannons.

I grinded the entire American tree in AB and most of the time I could only get assists rather than kills, and this was back when weapons were more deadly across the board, before they got nerfed.

>it was still better than playing in RB where American teams ensure you're always in an uphill battle

>>170835281
I'd be more okay with that if it didn't rank me with people a full rating higher than my top vehicle.

I'm switching between both modes to see which gets me more RP at the end

>>170835376
I would say BR rating matters the least in Air AB out of all game modes. Against better planes you can still win with a altitude advantage, out-turning them, or forcing the to overshoot (depending on your plane). Even if those aren't options you can always run to your allies and make it a 2v1 or 3v1 fight.

You can't do that as much in ground forces where armor is so important, or air RB where you can't out-climb certain planes and your retard teammates spread out 10km apart by themselves. However the same uptiering problem persists in those modes.

Tier is now only for calculating penalty when using early vehicles to grind out lategame ones.

Holy fuck why does the A6M2 have such worse stats than the A6M2 Mod. 11? Isn't the only change the addition of a tailhook? Does it add that much weight to drop the speed 30 km/h or is the stat card lying again?

It matters a lot more when it's your 12.7's against 20mm cannons. I can't even bring down the higher tiers, even with sustained fire and constant hits.

>>170836616
probably salt proofing too. It's the main reason why USMC helicopters are much more expensive than pretty much same helicopers used by the Army

>>170836975
Your armament matters more but BR matters less. I have a 4:1 with the F-82E which is at 5,0 but I only used it in a 6.0 lineup, so sometimes I was even uptiered to 6.7.

>>170840013
It's all about getting the jump on them. You gotta anticipate which way they're gonna go. If you whiff it, just pull out and zoom climb. If he's turning, there's no way he's going to catch you unless you tried to turn with him. Pulling out and resetting the encounter is always going to be better than trying to get a desperate kill.

>>170840013
Turning makes them bleed a lot of energy. If you boom and pull up as gently as you can you'll lose a lot less energy than them. Remember the more G's you are pulling the faster you are bleeding speed and the more energy you are losing.

in a boom and zoom do not turn, your only moves should be in the vertical, no horizontal movement unless it's very light so you don't drain a bunch of speed.

What is the penalty for using tier 1 to research tier 3?

And why the fuck is it that when my entire lineup is BR 3.3 at least one nigger has a BR 4.3? This would clearly imply I'm the lowest BR in that game since it's matched to +/- 1 and you wouldn't have a 2.3 player matched against a 4.3.

Airframes, not the wings. They would have taken everything from the cockpit back from the 109, bolted on a new nose and wings, and added tricycle landing gear.

As for why, which of those aircraft do you think they were producing more of?

>>170846468
Well, it does appear to have proper 262 wings, just a 109 airframe. Probably due to commonness of them that made it easier to use a 109.

>>170846858
>player artillery(I know exactly how it can be correctly implemented)

Do tell, anon.

>>170842238
AA sights for spaags

>>170847168
From what I recall it was the wings that were frail, which is the reason why the landing gear is mounted on the fuselage.

>which of those aircraft do you think they were producing more of?
Either shittastic G series 109s or knowing Goering and his infinite wisdom even more shittastic Ju88s, but they should've had at least a few spare Hornisse airframes.

>>170847579
Germany had fuckall spare anything at that point. Bf 109s served the least amount of use for the needs of the Luftwaffe to intercept bombers, and so were a lot more available. Meanwhile the 190 and 410 were being used to try and stop the tide of allied bombers.

>>170847390
two modes of aiming
normal, like you would with a normal gun, and artillery mode
artillery mode would probably only be available in RB, because I don't really know how to balance artillery in arcade with this way of implementation
but in artillery mode, think of it like how you aim in WoT, except on the mini map
you have where you're aiming and where your gun currently would land a shot, somewhat like the marker you have for where your gun is aimed and where you are aiming
how do you locate enemies?
whenever someone marks an enemy, they pop up on the mini-map like they do as of now, so you just aim for that general direction and drop a shell, and it isn't all too broken, because gun dispersion and the fact that the marker for the enemy tank isn't always directly on top of them
people would also want to shoot at an area someone designates as an enemy or something it would frankly be a better way of getting people out of hiding positions, and it would definitely discourage camping on cap zones, considering player artillery is almost guaranteed to be more accurate

>>170847995
>like WoT
Fuck off.

>>170848139
it's only like WoT in the lightest sense
you're both aiming from the vertical, but in WoT, you're doing it on the actual map
in this, you'd just do it on the minimap, considering people don't necessarily disappear just because they're not in your line of sight

Pick one.

The only feasible way to implement them is to use them like people currently use heavy bombers and give them a mission to bomb bases and make it so that the other team has to hunt them from across the map.

The most idiotic thing Phly always does is load up many different shell types and then he uses the STOCK shell because why wouldn't you use the shittiest round available? I don't get it.

So with the RU-251 in the game they won't add the VK Leopard, right?

For God's sake Gaijin just fucking rework these pacific maps. They are unplayable.

Jesus christ how horrifying.

>>170861583
>300m
>with fucking pasta guns

would you rather have six fiddy cals or one mg 151?

>>170862754
Convergence doesn't matter if your guns are all at the front, and the 7.7 are useless. IRL pilots even removed them.

>>170862893
Six fiddies are a nobrainer unless they're mounted on some extremely retarded position.

they're useful for loading up tracers and scaring your enemy into giving away a deflection shot

Playing this for the first time, pretty fun. 85mm nukes everything instantaneously from the side. How is the HEATFS for it?

>>170863976
makes raping tigers much easier

>>170862893
Fiddy cals.

It shocks me how many people claim that they are bad. Just use stealth ffs.

>it's another you forget to switch supercharger gear episodes
i swear this has made me die so many fucking times

has anyone else done the 24/24 missions for the waifu pilot icons and it's showing up as 24/24 completed but you haven't received the 3rd icon?

>>170865472
No because the american one is the only good one

No, I've spent to long on /int/ to not expect /pol/ to attract only people with marginally more processing power than your average high functioning autist

>>170866507
/pol/ got really popular lately so the IQ goes down the more people get added, you know how internet communities go.

>>170852635
>what else should I be aware of?
You're still going to be sniped through the forest because of ultra-slav mode.

In later tier 4 and tier 5 you'll be really lucky to have enough good games in 1 day to grind out 1 plane, I mean lotto winner tier lucky.

>>170870560
Source? Ive followed Italy/France very closely and they repeatedly said that we're getting France before Italy

What happens to the italian planes in the kraut tree if Italy gets its own tree?

>>170870897

I wish I could give you a source anon but I'm not allowed. MC 205 and G.55 lines will be complete upon release but the Reggiane line probably will only go up to the Re 2001 on initial release. Rest of the series including the 2005 are likely to be added later assuming they don't decide differently.

I know it sounds like BS.
