The Germans do have the mine-shells of doom, but there's always the chance that Gaijin could fuck up and not put it in any of the Arado's loadouts.

All planes with MG151's have mineshells.

But he's right. British planes do use alien technology.
A UFO crashed during WW2.
The alien spacecraft fell apart while entering the atmosphere and russians along with the brits managed to recover some parts.

Russians found the ships integrity field making their aircraft nigh indestructable while the brits found their inertia dampeners that let their craft turn on a dime while not sacraficing too much top speed like the japanese.

It's alien technology i tell you!

Oh I am happy with some of the changes and some of the added planes. The DM update, particularly.

It's just that BR is still as broken as before, a large amount of the BR values make no sense, and matchmaking is still a mess, but Gaijin apparently doesn't have that in mind, it adds more new content instead of fixing what is broken.

Have you seen the disparity of BR's around nations ?

Not to mention the "historical match" system that was promised... oh it's been three major updates since it was promised...

Oh and let's not start with the bombers and heavy fighters being so utterly inferior to fighters and attackers that they are basically useless starting from tier III. Fucking Yak9t's. (That goes the same for you cobras as well)

Russians found the ships integrity field making their aircraft nigh indestructable while the brits found their inertia dampeners that let their craft turn on a dime while not sacraficing too much top speed like the japanese.

hmm-hmm. Have you tried hard turning a yak and a bf109 in arcade ? Bf109 loses quite a bit of speed, yak loses NOTHING but a few km's... Not to mention the yak turns better and climbs equally as well, if not better.

Not to mention comparing a zero and a spit. Zero can out turn Spits and can climb, but can't go fast at all and can't dive. Spits can climb,  keep up in a dive with a Fw190, turn well, and are fast.

literally the only way to beat a spit is to be higher than him, headons (good luck head-oning when he climbs as good as you, is as fast as you and turns better than you) or be in a zero and show them Spacefires why Zero is the king of turnfighting.

Unfortunately, it can't do much other than that except climbing.

Dunno my BF-109's climb better than yaks by a fair ammount but I-165 (or something like that i forgot its name) outclimbs my BF's

Yaks indeed turn better than germans and (especially) americans but can't really hold a cande to spitfires and zeros that turn like boomerangs. They do however have a hilariously strong superstructure.

And yeah Spitfires are magic carpets lined with arrays of hispanos.

new and glorious arado (master race)

Praise be unto thee, based Arado God.

it's not like the russians needed more 37mm guns. Also if it flies like the standard IL2, it's gonna be Yak9t-broken.

Ehh, the IL2 isn't that had to fight. It can't climb for shit, and it's slow, so you can avoid it no problem. That said, two 37mms is a pretty intense loadout.

UFO? Maybe. Overgunned? Not at all.

But he's right. British planes do use alien technology.

Then why do I always get outrun by everything? But yeah, the later Spitfires and the Typhoons/Tempests are pretty fast. Although those Tempests can't turn for shit in my experience.

They are still faster than japanese planes and B'n'Z is literally the only way to take them out.
And they are still fast enough to work on anyone B'n'Zing with their hispanos.

 Meanwhile, in the land of tanks, the new American reserve is weird in that it is somehow able to kill tanks, the new Russian SPAA seems to have one clip, but with lots of rounds that cant do anything to tanks except mess up their view ports, and the cantalope has no way to aim those rockets.

Well if you can't aim the rockets its more like a waste of a slot.
Unless of course people fins some safe spots where its possible to lob rockets at chokepoints.
