gently caress this poo poo game (SB talk). Flew an IL-4 with mouse joy, dropped 2x 500kg bombs while going full tilt 100m above the ground. Killed 3 AI things and one  tank. gently caress it. Going to have to slot in the Yoke and Track IR. In other notes: Flying the Yak-9t with mouse joy in SB is possible, but don't expect any kills with it. IL-4 is pretty okay though.

I just wanted to say I attempted to join LAME for shits and giggles. Was asked if I had stairs in my house  (I wasn't accepted into such a highly esteemed squadron, I guess)Also combined arms is fantastic. Watching planes dogfighting overhead, bombers swooping in and unleashing their payload never gets old in a tank. You pilots are pretty neat... Until they hit the side of a mountain.

To join LAME, you need a subscription to the Official MiG-3 magazine, and to follow the Official Avengers The Movie Twitter account. Some goon asked me to link this in the OP, an idea which I don't particularly like. I forgot to make another first page post, so I hope you're happy with the second page!

If you really want to fly in CA you need to let the bads and tankers weed out the AAA before you go in.

Heavy bombers can pop the AAA from a safe'ish height, assuming they don't instead try to dive bomb tanks.

Popping tanks with Chaika rockets is fun. Shooting down Stukas with a AAA truck is fun. Shooting people in the ammo rack is fun. Dogfighting above tank battlegrounds is fun. Combined arms is a lot of loving fun.

BuhamutZeo posted:Pretty sure the tanks can't reach like, 90%of the AAA. On Karelia, Kuban and Ash River tanks can knock out like 90% of the AAA (100% in the case of Ash River). It doesn't happen in SB because they're in the trees, but in R.B. they can be targeted and hitting them is trivial. You need to give players a few minutes to get to spots that allow them to get LOS-- they can't hit them all from the spawns. Ash river is a little different because the AAA is situated behind the spawns, so sometimes your side gets wrecked and nobody can get to a spot where they can see the AAA.

If you're on karelia , just immediately head out to sea and wait for player tanks to pop a ton of the AA. A lot of it is visible right from each spawn, so there will always be people killing it for free money out of the gate. Tool around for a few minutes then head in. Unless you just get one shotted as soon as you spawn in, because that's totally a thing to. e: Kuban has fewer AA emplacements and they're 20mm instead of 88s. Ash river has a shitload of 88mm AA all over the field, but you can easily use mountains to LoS it out at least.

Alright, flying the Zhukovsky with bombs loving owns. 360 no bombsite all day long. Edit: Also, turn up your brighness if you're flying on some of these maps. It makes it look like you've been swimming in a chlorinated pool all day but you can actually see tanks. Target Practice fucked around with this message at 20:29 on May 30, 2014 |

It really is. It's like all the most entertaining aspects of the game smooshed into one place, and with a lot of the boring stuff cut out. Break it to me easy... Are the official forums flooded with idiots complaining that they've lost the thrill and tension of a 5-10 minute takeoff and climbing phase before the match proper begins?

Flew my B-25 in simulator mode. It was actually pretty easy to fly it around, and I engaged some Stukas over Kursk. While I was shooting at them, I took a single hit that hosed up a mystery part of the airplane. I started losing fuel and the plane went into a dive, and although I recovered, I couldn't do much more than maintain level flight. The external gunner view showed no visible damage to the airplane, so I have no idea what the gently caress. Flying a plane in full sim with a mouse isn't as hard as I thought.

Yeah it's really not too bad. The hard part is actually spotting people on the ground and avoiding the hellswarm of AAA bots.ChickenWing posted:Please tell me exactly what you're doing because I'll be goddamned if I can make the plane do anything other than twitch all over the place. I can only imagine how terrible the results would be if I had to take off first. You want to do smooth, gradual motions and not turn too hard. You'll get the hang of it after not too long. Try different planes out in test flight mode.

Combined Legs is pretty freaking great outside of spawn as a plane first thing you do in the match and you're dead Karelia hi I'm stating the obvious  (Don't plane first unless you're ready to stay away from AAA and dogfight) I-153 moment: Most of the enemy team on Karelia Conquest down at the A slowly capturing it, giving me good time to drop my load right on their heads. Earned some points outta that. Groundsniffed the best I could, high-adrenaline flying and evading, great fun. Just gently caress AAA.
