As I see it killstealing is just a part of the game, and the only people who whine about killsteals are n00bs.

Yeah it's annoying to see someone get the kill for a bomber you have been emptying 2 MG magazines into (bonus if it's a PBY or H6K), but then again one enemy bomber killed fast is less threat to your ground units and more chance to win. And more chance to get bonus XP. So, no big deal.

What annoys me in this game is :

-Rammers. Ramming while critically damaged is fine, though.
-One-hit-kills. ESPECIALLY pilot kills.
-Airacobras
-Russian fighters, especially LaGG and Yaks

You forgot the Peshka and its alien alloy reinforcements.

Never got killed by one or really attacked one so IDK.

Maybe I should try it, though. It shouldn't be much XP points to reach it.

Stalinwood was never a problem for me, though Freedom Steel was. Once.

At least eight 37mm hits in a B25 and I only killed it with the 10th.

The fuck is the Spitfire IIa made of? I just got 3 air kills, a ground kill and an air assist all while really heavily damaged and barely able to get above 200m or 200km/h. Then I landed gracefully when it just couldn't stay in the air.

Luck. It normally isn't that though.

Anyway, I think it was worse before. The peshka, IIRC, could be used as a lumberjack, plowing through trees without loosing it's wings. (They went black, but not destroyed.)

About stalin wood, planes that die instantly when still flying ok, and other stuff... its all called arcade flight model. Hate ramming? then dont play chicken on head ons, you will suffer 99.9% less "rammings". Too many pilot kills? stop trying to loop all the time giving your enemy a perfect shot. Most of the complains can, in my opinion, be solved or greatly diminished by modifying things on your end.

Actually, most of the times I'm rammed it involves people plainly crashing into me (flying a bomber) from behind. Which is kind-off stupid, because it often denies them a kill.

I do ram in to things on occasion, but it's usually because I've misjudged something, my turning speed, the other planes speed etc. For example, swooping in on a bombers tail then not giving myself enough time to slow down. Or realizing my steering is damaged when I go to pull away, etc.

Yeah, research point gain is weird.

Matchmaking is very !!FUN!! All these FW's here. Hell, I even saw a Yer2 somewhere even if I was tier 7 before.

Also the server crashed when I was finally getting again my hand in my Do217 and getting 2 kills and possibly more >:(

Currently researching the first Fw, FW 190 A-5. Is it as holyshitawesomefirepower as it looks ?

It has heavy fighter weaponry turning and climb rate while being more agile when diving.
Also if you slow down its turnrate becomes so bad that most 2 engine fighters (AN EVEN SOME BOMBERS) can tail you... so yeah.
Even in arcade when you slow down this thing almost literally falls down.

Nope. It climbs pretty badly for a german plane.
Something around 14 while BF 109 can climb at 20+.
It's havier so its better at retaining speed after a dive than a BF109 so it can regain height more raidly than a BF for a short time.

So it's basically a standard heavy fighter in a normal fighter's size ?

Bah. Gonna go for the Me's right about now.

Well it rolls better than ME so its easier to keep someone on target but otherwise yeah.
