That glorious tank inspired me. which lead to this  and this  All those times on this map and every single time the pubbies fly in the direction of the AI plane instead of to the sea corner the allies always show up at.

While we were flying in the Spanish Civil War event a while ago a 109 pilot decided to repeatedly J out then respawn on the runway, 2 matches in a row. SB2, engage ground mode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PioVNXmdqTs

The Cannon Ki-43 has a couple different belts I like. Omni is HEF-I, AP-T Ground is AP-T, HEF-I Can't figure out which one I prefer. Also I might have the two loadouts confused.

It depends on whether you prefer first to fire HEF-I, or first to fire AP-T. Sometimes the best strategy is to hold down LMB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auSjVjgWrtk

Well I can't really recommend the J2M5 even if you're an excellent shot because the loving Japanese 30mm shells don't actually do any damage about half the time. Absolutely infuriating.

In the time it took my extremely good & powerful plane to climb to 4000m all but one of my teammates had died. In the following 100m the other guy died too. What I'm trying to say is that a good workman blames his tools.  Jet & B-29 matches are extremely badass & cool and I enjoy them thoroughly.  ~just J7W things~ (we lost the match because even though it didn't count as a crash, it still counted as "no players left alive" and the tickets counted down  )

Uh maybe you didn't notice but the Ki-84 has 2x20mm and 2x30mm which if you do the math is larger than the P-51's 6x12.7mm, thus it is a better plane and also Amerikkkans are gangsters  I need to reinstall that addon that just strips YouTube comments completely, I can't help but look whenever someone mentions them being terrible.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Why are queues for 1.0 british planes 5x as long as 2.3 russian planes, even in arcade? I would assume because if you're in 1.0 planes then you can only get matched against other people in 1.0 to 2.0, and if you're in 2.3 you can get matched against anything from 1.3 to 3.3. Speaking of British planes, are their 7.7mgs just ridiculously terrible? Going from Russia to the US to British to Japan, the UK aircraft have the only guns that feel like I'm needing to physically saw off my opponents' wings. Also the Japanese 7.7mgs feel ridiculously punchy compared to the others I've used.

What is the easiest plane to learn on? I just get loving decimated every single game. I don't get it, I get shots on planes, they just bounce off, then my wing falls off in a single hit.

Here are some favorites among most players: Arcade Battles:  - Aircobras - Fw 190s - Yak 3 / La-5FN - Spitfire / Beaufighter - Ki-61 Hien w/cannonsRealistic Battles: - P-47 Thunderbolt / P-51 Mustang / F4U Cannon Corsair - 109/190s duh - La-5FN - Spitfire / Typhoon - Ki-43 Hayabusa / N1KSimulator Battles: Learn to fly then use quite literally any plane in the game that you want and have fun. A Saucy Bratwurst posted:I just get loving decimated every single game. I don't get it, I get shots on planes, they just bounce off, then my wing falls off in a single hit. Can't hit your target? Use more machineguns. Examples of this include basically every single fighter with .50 cals and planes like the Hurricane that carry more ammo than they actually need.Not killing your target fast enough? Use more cannons. British Hispanos, German Minengeschoss and Russian ShVAKs are popular here. Wings falling off in a single hit? Don't get hit. Seriously though, as silly as it may seem dogfighting isn't at all about plane durability. This is why bombers aren't exactly that amazing outside of sim battles. Yes, being able to take hits is nice but save that poo poo for planes like the P-47/Corsair and larger that attack a target then immediately run the gently caress away often while being shot at by a swam of slow and desperate enemies.

The .303 was quite a low velocity round compared to other rounds of that size. So I guess the answer is yes. Possibly why the British adopted 20mm Hispanos while American planes just put more .50 cals in.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:What is the easiest plane to learn on? I just get loving decimated every single game. I don't get it, I get shots on planes, they just bounce off, then my wing falls off in a single hit. Probably huge differences in calibre for the latter part; 7mm rounds are going to literally nibble people to death. I've put full belts of Japanese 7.62 mms into planes and failed to do anything other than gently caress up control surfaces in a non-fatal manner. Conversely .50 cals are going to loving destroy whatever you're shooting at if you get more than a few hits; 100 rounds is a near guaranteed kill. 20mm cannons are going to be low single digits to kill, at worst (though there's some belts that're total poo poo), and anything bigger than a 20mm you're unlucky if you don't kill outright. Hit something with the 75mm and just watch the entire plane disintegrate. Also, as a minor point of order, shots on planes usually don't "bounce". More typically they've hit and just gone straight through harmlessly.

I used to think this but Las are loving ridiculous at retaining energy, which is a way bigger deal in RB, whereas Yaks are absolutely poo poo at using big energy advantages because they have to bleed so much of it off to avoid exploding in midair. It's really yaks that play weird compared to most planes, and they teach bad RB habits. But to be fair spits are kind of the same but they got recommended too, so maybe there's some logic to that.

Well, I would argue that learning that each dive is a risky investment that you have to make worth by either killing the enemy or by forcing them into deeper disadvantage and generally learning greedy energy management is a good thing. Lavochkins seems to be about constant reactive flying where you never really make the decisions and mostly have to correctly react to what the opponent does which doesn't teach you much about the strategy and picking your engagements and such.

I don't get it, I get shots on planes, they just bounce off, then my wing falls off in a single hit. Get on mumble, play with goons. We'll teach you stuff. Air combat's not exactly intuitive and while War Thunder's matchmaker does protect you from having to fight jets in your biplane, it offers you no protection against level 100 guys who actually know how to play this game showing up and dunking on your biplane in a period-appropriate aircraft. Honestly the Soviet Premium Chaika (the one you get free just for picking USSR as your first nation) is probable The Easiest Plane to learn biplane/turnfighter stuff on, and the Soviets also get some planes that make good trainers for other poo poo at low-tier. MiGs will you teach that high and low altitude performance can be very different even on one plane. LaGGs will teach you about boom-n-zoom and that turnfighting on the deck is where planes go to die. USSR also has a good mix of bomber/attack craft for learning to splat all those silly not-flying vehicles. If you didn't pick Soviets to start with, it's not hard to grind up enough to unlock more nations and they're all eventually good; Soviets are just my pick for easymode learning.

It feels so bullshit, like I'll be a km above someone and I'll cut throttle to dive on them, they'll point their nose up (which I thought was a very bad thing but apparently not) and 1 hit me. I'll try work my way through this list but I find myself getting mad and going back to tanks pretty quick because I'm good at that relative to the general playerbase and my skill from other games carries over.

You don't need to cut throttle when initiating a dive, just when you start to hit the speed limit (speed indicator turns red). Aim to swoop in on their tail rather than diving straight down from above; it's a lot harder to flip all the way around to shoot you than just pulling up 90 degrees, especially when in the latter case you're not moving across their field of fire at all.
