This is the greatest thing since before 1.37.

also stukas with TWELVE mg81's and 2 20mm's. Eat your heart out, heavy fighters.

[RedKing]

Hunh. They're going to put in the PzKpfw VIII Maus. Because God knows those poor Germans don't have enough high-tier heavy tanks. 

I guess the good thing is it'll be target practice for the Patton II and IS-4.

What's next, the Landkreuzer series?

[10ebbor10]

Yeah, the problem with the Maus is that with it's horrid mobility, it'll either be invulnerable, or useless against most opponents.

Yeah 12 machine guns work well against soft targets... Too bad the Ju 87 is hopelessly slow to battle actual fighters. And the ones it can (almost) catch are more or less infinitely nimbler.

As long as you turnfight, that's not an issue. And considering everyone turnfights in arcade furballs...

Hell even proper defensive manoeuvers against a BnZ attacker, faster than the stuka, stuka would be able to kill him, i believe. Like forcing headons.


Also B29 and Flakpanzer Gepard are in. Now give the B29 a nuke loadout for next april fools

Sounds like WT pilots arent too sharp.

You mean you kept to tanks and never flied ? Go 3D !

Yeah, a good part of pilots are just DERP. I mean last time i brought out my stuka I shot down a premium 190 D9 who was not only lawnmoving, but turnfighting. That's in arcade, there is less derp in RB.

I think imma keep my D5 in my late tier 3/ early tier 4 lineup. Turnfight everyone, (except Zeroes) and get a large amount of Hercules awards. At 2k lions each, it's gonna be a good money source.

I have flown WT a bit (simulation) but I was disappointed by the flight and damage models and the lack of a sandbox. Theres some ridiculous things such as machine guns having a very noticeable recoil/kick effect and not just shake despite them being more or less aligned with the center of mass, and certain either lack or down-tuning of gyroscopic phenomena, making the planes feel a bit weightless... Besides the graphics it feels like the old Il-2 FB from 2003(that has improved vastly since into a totally different game) and actually sounds worse as there is no doppler effect. So no flying WT to me, I'll stick to the old il-2 and the BoS and just drive tanks instead.

[Aseaheru]

Some aircraft did slow down when firing.

And there is a sandbox, its called testflight. Its not that good though.

I did not mean slowing down, but the recoil of 2 fracking machine guns lined along the center of mass rising the entire nose on an aircraft that weights several tons.

With sandbox I was thinking something like il-2's full mission builder and the dynamic campaign generators. 

edit: I dont mean to say its a bad game. Its so popular now that it clearly cant be, and even with all the faults I very much enjoy driving the tanks! Its just that somewhere along the last 14 years I've become a bit of a purist when it comes to warbirds. 

[Naryar]

Been experimenting with no gun convergence on my tier II "MURRICAN lineup (BUFOlo, Kittyhawk and P-400). Not convinced so far.

Also stay on guard for a probable episode of drunk thunder. Who knows maybe i will be ramming more biplanes in tier III/IV.

oh my armok a d5 with six mg151's it's everything i ever wanted

Never mind that it'll probably nerf turnspeed so to make the stuka noticeably weaker. Now let me live in my magical fairytale stuka land for a while.

edit: oh wait it will be lighter than standard bomb loadout so... yes please

The Germans will finally know the jos of turnfighting retarded American pilots on the deck.

Oh, they already do. D5 is already perfect for that, but 90% of people underestimate it.

Now they will FEAR it.

Also finally ground to air targets ammo in my Bf109 G2. That was painful.

Now maybe it's going to be better ?

Also the germans are getting the Fw 200. I feel it is going to be merely fighter chow, though.

[Naryar]

So, I have just got a Hellcat.

My 'murrican lineup is Buffalo, Kittyhawk and P-400.

Now which one to replace with the hellcat... I really have no idea because the Buffalo is the best UFO flier, the Kittyhawk is the one with the most consistent weaponry and the P-400 has the largest amount of firepower.

Sure I could buy another slot but I'm not sure.

[Aseaheru]

Buy all the money slots. You can get enough of those to deal with almost every tech line.
