The single most important thing to do: bind a key for acrobatic smoke. Edit: vvvvvv didn't realize they added a default binding then. New single most important thing: change your smokes color to something obnoxious. Artless Meat fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Jul 6, 2013 |

Elendil004 posted:So with replays, is there a good way to capture video? Seems like you can't step backwards, so you have to FF to where you think the action is, pre-plan a good camera angle because it seems like switching on the fly is cumbersome and hope you capture it? MSI afterburner is pretty good for recording off replays, and yeah, you pretty much have to find exactly when it happens, and get all set up.

Perestroika posted:Is it just me or are ground units behaving super eratically recently? A few weeks ago they used to just go along the road in neat lines, but now they're crossing back and forth over it like it isn't even there, and at times they even seem to hit the reverse. Not to mention all those times they just randomly vanish into thin air even when there's nothing nearby that could have shot them. It makes high-altitude bombing even more of a pain than it already is. On one map I know they disappear under ground randomly, popping back up later. I think it's the top of the world map.

I've noticed that a couple times (especially on fjords) with destroyers I was about to bomb later in the game. I always assumed someone else beat me to them, and wondered why the explosion was so small.

I'm thinking they might rescale the ships when they release/work on the player ships. I doubt they'd fix them on some maps tho. The little bay the carriers are in on pearl harbor is probably way too small. Also aren't the tanks too small too?

Rhopunzel posted:So are the plane/ship/tank modes going to be tied together, or will they always be separate? Will I ever be able to strafe players in tanks, or is this game just going to be World of Plane/Tanks/Warships existing individually in the same game? Pretty sure they said they would have various combinations of the 3, including all 3 at once.

Sure you might be close to stall speed occasionally but there's no better way to make a nice set of pilot kills in a IL-2 than with landing flaps. I love when people go head to head with my IL-2, its like they aren't expecting the cannons or something

 Most people just stayed up here dogfighting  Getting below the clouds was risky, mountains came out of nowhere  Once you finally broke through the fog, all the ground targets were all yours  Until you went too far on that path along the right side of the map. At the end, I wound up with 4 kills and 20 something ground targets destroyed, because hardly anyone went below the clouds. I kinda cheated with my bomb sight and would alter my course when it started climbing up a mountain.

The gun pods for the 109s are insane. My f4s can shred almost anything with a quick burst, and I don't see any downside to taking them, at least in arcade.

 Anyone know what these things are on the BTD? They open up below 50% throttle. I figured they were something to do with exhaust or heat while its not moving. Also this plane has the best airbrakes.

Quickpull posted:So I've been playing for a couple weeks now, and there's one thing I don't understand. Why is the reward for destroying ground targets so low compared to dogfighting? I just had a game in my Ju88 where I rained down hell like crazy, giving us an easy win, yet I was almost at the bottom of the leader board at the end. I can regularly top the board if I go after other planes, but then we lose half the time. Whats the logic behind not rewarding people for pursuing the objective of the game? They nerfed the hell out of bomb splash damage and bombing rewards 2 or 3 patches ago.

Rhopunzel posted:Finally snapped in arcade. Some idiot stole my kill at the last second in a Hellcat so I TKed him. He must have been squadded or something because random people started killing me while he bitched and whined in chat about how I'm a "noob" when his sole kill was from one he stole. They kept killing me so I just made it my mission that match to TK him as much as possible because it was funny. I'll see you guys later if I get banned You'll be fine. One dude shot me down right at the beginning of a match because he thought I was trying to shoot HugheAsshole(sp?) down, but I was just showing him the typhoons kicking rad tracer belt lasers. I spent the rest of the match shooting him down or stealing his kills whenever I could. Also, if you get 3 TKs, it kicks you from a match. I wasn't trying to kill anyone when I learned that.

AlphaDog posted:How recent is that? I'm sure it wasn't in 1.29 because I'd regularly accidentally get 3+ TKs spraying APIT rounds all over the sky in rank 1 matches. It happened to me in this most recent patch. It may have been 4, because pubbies kept accidentally flying in front of my kingcobras. I was in a group with goons and thought our match was over already, then I heard them still flying.

Also by the time it's replacement came out, we were ready for it. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2 wikipedia posted:On January 12, 1968, a clandestine TACAN site (call sign: Laos Site 85/Phou Pha Ti) installed by Special Forces (United States Army) in Northern Laos for directing USAF warplanes flying from Thailand toVietnam was attacked by two North Vietnamese An-2s using machine guns fired from the cabin, rockets, and hand thrown grenades. A third An-2 orbited overhead. An Air America Bell UH-1B, XW-PHF, resupplying the site chased the two attacking aircraft. By using an AK-47 the American crew (Ted Moore Captain, Glen Wood kicker) succeeded in shooting down one of the An-2s while the second aircraft was forced down by combined ground and air fire and crashed into a mountain. The surviving Antonov returned to its home base, Gia Lam, near Hanoi. Artless Meat fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Aug 16, 2013 |
