I just started so I'm not very good but the game seems unaware of this fact.



Edit: Or it has a very loose definition of "Land"

I'm currently at level 8 but I'm almost to 9, and I was thinking about buying a BF 109 F-4 with some golden hitler bux (America is my main nation). How many levels would that plane be viable to use until I have to replace it?

I took the advice and got the Spitfire MK IX instead, and drat am I glad I did. I can actually turn now! Plus, the MK392 144WG camo it comes with is pretty boss :canada:

What's the big difference between the B-25J-1 and the B-25J-20? An extra 12.7mm on the front? That hardly seems worth the 150,000 tokens and an extra 2 ranks higher needed than the J-1.

Weird, if you test fly the wheeled Catalina you start in the water with the wheels down, which prevents you from getting up enough speed to take off, and if you retract the wheels they explode.

How rare are those mega huge battle trophies? I think the highest I've gotten so far was only 15k or something and I'm an overall rank/level 13.

Along with kill credits, I shouldn't get a teamkill punishment because I put 2 bullets into a friendly on accident and he flew into a mountain 5 minutes later.

Why does matchmaking insist on putting my Brit Havoc into The Hardest Day :negative:

Also is there a reason why bombers don't have interior views or have they not added them yet?

My friend and I just managed to hold back almost all of the enemy fighters by ourselves in our Hurricane MK1's while our pubbie teammates took care of the ground targets. I really do love this plane.

The Hurricane just melts things. It's probably my favorite low tier Brit plane, by far. I managed to pull this off in it a while ago, it's still my best kill-streak yet.

I'm getting 5 historical kills a game in my Buffalo. This is gonna make the event grind a breeze.

There's something about the :911:'s MGs that allow you to hit people from over 1k away very consistently. The massive ammo loads also guarantee hits on really wide deflection shots. Also being able to land on a carrier is so good it feels like cheating. The only real threat is a Hayabusa that's being flown by a good pilot early in the round.

Since it's rank 3 matchmaking, this hardly happens. Barely anyone ever even climbs. You pretty much get to pick and choose the best BnZ targets and steal everyone's kills then zoom away when they get mad and try to shoot you with the handful of bullets they have left. When it comes down to it, you'll never die at this rank defending your base... the Ishaks/Chaikas simply cannot handle AAA fire.

Except that the wait times for HB US at that tier are horrendous.

Not at low tier. I never have to wait more than 2 minutes.

Of course, everything feels longer after German/Japan insta-ques.

It's usually 3-4 minutes for me.

What's the best way to fly the B-17E? It seems to be more effective in HB, where I can usually pick up an escort and there's a better choice of stationary targets for higher altitude bombing. As for Arcade, should I just stick to base bombing? If I try to get low enough to hit tanks, I get shot down pretty quickly.

Oh and I forgot, what's the best belt to use on the B-17 turrets?

How does the premium british A-20 compare to the american one? I see it's lower tier and has worse guns, and it's listed as being slower, but the game stats aren't always accurate.

It's pretty solid. It can still outrun everything in the tier, and the weaker guns aren't too big of a deal in tiers 2-3. The rear turrets still chew things up. It's kind of like a baby A-20G for a baby tier. My only complaint is that I managed to get it halfway to being maxed out in XP in a single night.

God bless pubbies who buy the premium US Spitfire with no earthly idea how to fly them at rank 3 and subsequently stock the rest of their hangar with P-36s and F2As (hopefully on the other team)

Other than engine/airframe upgrades, you can try climbing to the sides of the map to gain altitude above them. It'll still take longer than them but you'll get there.

A-20s are probably the most satisfying plane to shoot down in the lower tiers, when you manage to catch one.

Anyone with B17 needs to play the new Wake Island event, it's pretty much free ground targets and paper planes for your turrets to shoot down.

Really? A 17,000 lion repair bill for the B-17 in HB? gently caress off. Maybe I'm just dense but it took me until US rank 17 to realize that bombers are garbage and there was some sort of pseudo-fun going on until now.

It seems like the Germans had a boner for putting huge fuckoff cannons on planes, between that and the Me 410 A-1/U4. Has a 50mm or larger ever been put on another aircraft since then?
