Fuck me with this x5 weekend, six matches in and all of them we get steamrolled :I

[Sonlirain]

Spoiler:  The Jetsons (click to show/hide)

I can only imagine this is the sound the plane is making in flight.

[Naryar]

So what is it, a murrican version of the Komet ?

[Aseaheru]

I think its a hellcat with no wings...

[Jopax]

Pretty sure It's either a Dauntless or the Avenger, since it has a turret in the back. Tho the front looks funky, like the prop sank into the fuselage or something.

[Sonlirain]

It was a bug that i encountered when flying the Avenger.

The plane was flyable but ALL of the parts other than the main fuselage were invisible.
I didn't do a screenshot of the underside but you could see an empty bomb bay with no doors (even tho i had 4 bombs loaded).
I decided the but was unique and funny enough to post.

[Zrk2]

That's a good one. I get a glitch in Wellingtons every now and then where the rear turret vanishes.

Hmm i don't have the wellington but i commonly get a glitch where most of my plane vanishes when there are Yak-9s nearby.

[Jopax]

That's working as intended

Really tho, with Yak's, you either fly one, or you try and run away really fast.

Tho you can still lose horribly even while flying the terrifying death machine that is the 9K. Why, the other day I had 10 kills in that plane alone, too bad the rest of my team combined didn't have that much, so we kinda lost horribly. A real shame too, 2.5k XP would've been sweet when combined with the daily bonus. Of course I got it in the very next fight, except this time I had barely 1k XP at the end of it :I

In other news, fuck yeah, halfway to the Mustang now

[Naryar]

Actually I don't run away from yaks... well unless i am unable to out-turn it... it is such a pleasure to see one of these overpowered death machines going down in flames.

It's kinda like beaufighters. It's such a perfect "shoot me" sign.

[TheBronzePickle]

I neither run away from nor out-turn Yaks, as an RB pilot. When I'm flying a turn-heavy plane like the Spitfire, they always manage to milk out the half-second of super turning and nail me with the cannon. When I'm flying a fast plane like just about anything from the US, they snipe me from a kilometer off with the cannon. I don't know how long the actual gun is for those things, but they seem to be way too accurate.

[Natti]

Just make sure you've got an energy advantage over them. Make them stall and pounce.

Yeah, that's part of the reason I quit, overly accurate guns even in RB.  I think it's partly the vidya, partly the mouse.  Everything's more accurate at longer ranges with the mouse.  With mouse-aim I usually try to aim for as long range as I feel comfortable hitting (usually around 500m for booming and zooming) whereas in games with joysticks I try to set convergence as close as possible, like 200m.

And in Rise of Flight I don't start shooting until the enemy can feel the air from my propeller.

In all cases though, I don't burst or love tap or snipe or any of that bullshit.  Once I start shooting, I don't stop until the enemy plane is in pieces.

[Jopax]

So they announced the summer special thingy. Lasts for most of August and there's a bunch of cool stuff. They're having missions for pretty much every god damn preimum vehicle in the game, I'll probably only manage the first one since the others will most certainly be stupidly demanding but eh. I'll take the bonus RP and Lions any day of the week

[Naryar]

damn

so yesterday i brought my duck in HB, killed 2 planes and then won a 50K battle reward :O

Was it this summer event or do 50K battle rewards happen ?
