So, started playing yesterday. Currently level 5 in germany, probably won't play any other country for a while.
What are the strengths of Germany ? I've been having a good time with the He 111 H 6 (feels like you're invulnerable compared to a light fighter, also you can finally not suck against ground targets), same with the bomber stukas but a bit less. Also, I still love my Marcolin's CR42. Is it still good at my level ?
Waiting to get the trollcannon Stukas and a heavier bomber. Does any plane in Germany even has rockets ?
Can't think of any German rigs with rockets (if you want rockets, go Russian. Oh dear merciless God, go Russian. Flying an Ishak with rockets and those moar dakka killguns against tier 1-2 planes....).
The He 111 is a really nice early bomber. Huge bomb capacity compared to its counterparts.
The Stuka (I'm thinking B-2, D-3 and D-5 here), once you learn to use it correctly, is an excellent large-target killer. Single 500kg bomb will take out a destroyer, and then you just swoop back up into the clouds to reload. Or if the coast is clear and there's light vehicle targets around, you just buzz around and strafe shit. But until you get some engine/airframe upgrades, it can be painful to fly. Feels like a lawnmower with wings.
Of the Italian stuff, the G.50 is bleah, the MC 200 is mediocre, but the MC 202 is actually pretty decent. The S.79 is also a pretty decent bomber to fill the gap between the He 111 and the heavier bombers.
The He 112 is also an underrated fighter for its tier, especially the B-0 with its cannons.
The Bf 110....let's just say there's a reason the Zerstorer got reassigned from its initial escort role. Pretty sure it's the slowest of the heavy fighters, and probably the least-armed (not sure vs. the Pe-3). You can still do decently well against low-tier opponents but you'll get owned or evaded against most equal or higher tier planes. Nothing more frustrating than flying a 110 and getting outrun by a bomber in level flight.
I hated flying German stuff early on (the He 51 is failtastic, IMHO) but now that I've made it to tier 8, I'm enjoying it. I still fly primarily Soviet (tier 10, almost 11) but do a decent amount of Brit and German stuff too. America has finally gotten enjoyable at tier 7 (P-39s? YES PLEASE), but I have to kind of force myself to play Japanese just for the daily bonus. Which often takes several attempts. The only thing I respect out of the whole JP airfleet so far are the Ki-45s, which play like a poor man's Beaufighter.
