It's pretty dependent on what plane you're flying. Different guns have different levels of murderization. There's one Japanese 20mm cannon that hits hard enough to make American planes fear, yet there's another of the same caliber that can't hurt a biplane reliably.

Got a 150% lion reward, a 500% lion reward, 2 150% RP rewards and a 5 kills per battle wager.

Still don't know how these wagers work.

[Sonlirain]

Not quite sure how they work either but here's a quick rundown of what i know.

- All wagers start at level 0 so you can only bet the minimal ammount.
- If you wager 10k silver and win you get another 10k silver. Alternatively you lose your 10k if you don't meet the requirements.
- Wagers have a limited number of uses (3 i think but i'm not too sure).
- you can "levelup" the wagers letting you bet more silver. You do so by winning them.

Welp, goodbye to WT again. The recent changes plus a string of really really shit games made me feel utterly disgusted with the game. One day maybe, but not now, the last thing I need is a game that feels like frustrating work 90% of the time.

[Naryar]

I get 90k lions on an average game with murrica tier II with the 300% lion reward. Damn, what will I get if i play germany tier III and get a killstreak in my A5 ?

Also i really like both the havoc and the B25. Especially the havoc which is about five times more resistant to damage than the B-25.

Going to get an airacobra next. Well, the not-shitty one... i just passed over the first one with the peashooters.

I am not sure about airacobras though. On one hand, it's a BnZ plane with 4 12mm's, possible rockets, and a nose 37mm, and I know I like dakka in my planes. On the other hand, it's a fucking airacobra damn how i hate airacobras

[TheBronzePickle]

Hate flying them, or hate getting hunted down by them?

Airacobras, and the recently massively improved Kingcobras, are pretty decent machines. They're small, light planes compared to the mostly big, bulky remainder of the American line up, so they climb quickly. Nevertheless, they're still energy fighters. Ultimately, they fly very akin to the Bf 109.

Hate getting killed by them ? i have no experience for them. but soon !

[TheBronzePickle]

Note that their 37mm guns are significantly less accurate than the Russian 37mms. Even the Russian Cobras have this issue, and even when the gun has been upgraded, the shells still have a decent chance to end up not hitting, even against smaller twin-engine fighters. The quad-50s will usually end up your go-to for actually killing things, a job which they thankfully perform decently.

[Aseaheru]

Plus, the bullet drop on them is apparently insane.

[Dampe]

OH MY GOD.
WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME WE HAD A WAR THUNDER THREAD?!

That game is my shit.

[ukulele]

10 Won game wager, so far 5/0 with my trusty 190A5U2. Was thinking i should secure it with the La5, but it seems the fw190 is doing the job just fine.

The Focke-Wulf scares me more than almost any other aircraft in the game.
The Yak-3 and the Yak-9 also being up there.

[Sonlirain]

The FW is a slowly turning cow that can barely climb and shake like hell when diving losing allmost all control.
Meanwhile the earlier Yaks got engines that overheat in seconds.
I had games on winter maps where the water temp in my yak was only going up even after i set the engine to 80%.

The real scary planes are spitfires and its deriviates that are basically Yaks before the engines were replaced by hampsters with the added benefit of insanely tight turns.

[TheBronzePickle]

The FW is a heavy fighter, like the Thunderbolt, Corsair, and Mustang. They're not designed for maneuverability, they're designed to drop like bricks and hit like 'em, too. They take a lot of time and a lot of climbing to get the energy needed, but they keep it like a cast-iron skillet keeps heat as long as you don't waste it all trying to turn when you don't need to.

[Naryar]

The FW [...] shake like hell when diving losing allmost all control.

You are kidding right ? It's ultra-stable when diving.

Also it has hilarious energy retention as long as you don't turn. Especially in arcade. BnZ all day, erry day. Sure it doesn't climb as good as most other fighters, but it's just near invulnerable as long as you are above your enemies.

FW is awesome. However, it's annoying having MG/FF's in it, 2 20mm's is a bit unsufficient and the A5/U2's 6 cannons feels like overkill.

I want an A-8 yes plz

Mustang [...] hit like 'em, too.

lol 6 12mm's is no heavy fighter armament.
