Germany was (rightfully) super paranoid of aircraft in WWII, weren't they? At least this new AAA is open-top so I can strafe them with ease.

Who the gently caress is cheating in air arcade for real though?? That's my go to for slacking off at work mode. I point my lovely biplane at the enemy circle, I click, GOTTEM, sometimes someone else gets me by flying through my plane and chopping my wings off, who cares, good move, lol! Whoever is cheating in air arcade, gently caress you, stop that!

I'd assume they're handled 100% by the server. soviet elsa posted:Who the gently caress is cheating in air arcade for real though?? And the longer I think about it how tf would someone even cheat in air arcade!? What possible cheat could make the mode even easier than it already is? How bad/sweaty would someone have to be to want some sort of cheat? I've already put more thought into this than the rando that accused me put into their whole game, but someone says something that extra stupid to you and I'm so bemused my brain just can't put it down.

I’ve only got about 1.4m SL right now. I just unlocked the SKR squad ship. Should I wait until they (hopefully) unfuck the naval battles? I’ve read that the SKR is a money printer etc

The SKR is pretty hilarious in the right situation. It’ll melt the gently caress out of basically anything it can face up-close.

I’ve read that the SKR is a money printer etc As a ship it's powerful, as an SL printer it's mediocre. Unless you specifically don't want to spend any money, I'd say go with a mid-tier premium destroyer since you'll be matched with them anyway.

Did they buff Hispanos in the last few months? I've been flying my Spitfire LF Mk IX again recently and they're feeling far more destructive than they were late last year. I could swear I used to have to land a ton of hits to do just about anything but now wings and tails are being blown off with a single burst. https://i.imgur.com/IoHyaMn.mp4 I've been spending most of my time flying the F4U-4B Corsair and the Bf 109-K4 with the 30mm Mk108 motorcannon, so I don't think its a perception thing as both of those planes pack some hefty firepower. In any case I'm all for it, playing British ground is miserable so its easier to just play as the US and pretend to be British.

I dunno, I tried the SKR and I just can't get back to pure HE ammo where you have to slowly cut off a few % of the enemy crew at a time, instead of using SAP that blows up entire components with chunks of crew

The thing loving shreds just about anything short of a destroyer.

Is the shillelagh missile any good? I was eyeing an 8.3 US line up of the M901, M60A2 and the M551 and remember the shillelagh fluctuating between being very good and very poo poo.

The Shillelagh can be fired on the move, which is pretty cool. Shame about literally everything else though.

It used to be really good IMO up until a year ago or so when they added rocket motors/tail flares to it. The Shillelagh used to basically be a stealth missile because it used to only render the projectile and it was hard to spot at a distance compared to almost every other missile.

I like Shillelagh better than TOW by virtue of the fact it's much faster, but it does feel lately that it struggles to reliably kill things like it used to.

Anyone noticed a possible bug with the flak 38? If you're parked in a cap zone (so that you are reloading) you can fire off (in a steady stream) like 300 rounds without reloading? Then when it finally stops, it takes that amount of time to reload as it would take to reload all of those 20mm mags you burned through. I managed to kill one tank and three aircraft with sustained pull of the trigger. It was like I was painting the sky with tracers.

Nine of Eight posted:Oh dang I’m gonna have to grind that ASAP before they patch that (if they even bother) The Flak 38 is freaking awesome and fun when it's working correctly.* They've nerfed the Flak 38 like three times already. First they reduced the reload time TO 3.0 seconds (it used to be something like 1.5), then they added 25% to the turret traverse times, and then they cut the 20mm AP rounds penetration by something like 25mm. I used to one-shot T-34 gunners from the front of the turret, as my rounds would slice through it like butter. *I honestly think that the devs have done something to the 20mm round to mess it up, as it acts very inconsistently. Sometimes scoring pens against tough tanks halfway across the map, and even something as thin as a BT taking tons of hits without penetration. If you go to protection analysis, it shows that the round cannot penetrates lots of tanks frontally at its br that it should, but when the "analysis round" is fired, it simulates a penetration and even killing crewmembers, against areas it says should be a "0% chance" to pen. What happens in the game is usually a pen and kill. How to play the Flak 38: (many points applicable to other SPAA) The chassis itself turns wickedly fast, so when rapidly traversing the turret, use the whole tank to assist. It's fast, tiny and climbs well enough to get into some pretty unexpected and tight spaces. It's got 1080 rounds of ammo, so don't be afraid to clear the path of debris to get where you want faster or to see better. Since you are not likely to run out of ammo, every time you kill an enemy, empty the mag so you start off fresh for the next one. Firing on the go is easy, and with some practice you can never stop moving. Always reverse around a corner you expect to see enemies around. One stray round will knock you out, so don't let them hit your driver before you get a bead on them. Let distant tanks and aircraft drive/fly into your rounds. Get the HVAP as soon as you can. Research only what you need to get there. Use your teammates as spaced armour. As they get hit you duck out and finish off whoever damaged/killed them while they are reloading. Stay away from artillery. It's open topped, and always seems to catch a round. Stay in the shadows and use brush whenever possible. It's silhouette is really distinctive, and easy to pick out in the open. Paint enemy tanks: When squaring off against a tank from the front, move the target reticle up and down slightly to take out all the crewmembers asap. When engaging from the side, paint it side to side for the same reason. Make sure to pause slightly under the turret. When engaging Russian T-28s, paint it side to side and up and down. Take out the all of the turrets, then the engine. Reload then reapply in the same fashion. When engaging LVTs, paint under the turret from the front, and then the drivers. From the side or the back, make sure you get the gunners in the rear. When engaging Sweedish tanks, paint in an oval around the front centre of mass, you have to his a thin strip in the middle to take out the gunner and MG gunner. French tanks are a bitch, and if you can't take out the gun barrel or breech, you're dead. Engage from the side. If you're not looking for an aggressive "20 kill match", pretend you are playing hide and seek. It's easy to hide, and fun to play that way. There are a few cap points that you can hide inside non-accessible-ish buildings that will confound most players. And every map has at least two spots where you really are not expecting tanks to be hiding. Here's an old screencap from when I used to play it more often. When it was playing Arcade before I moved to RB, it could end a match with 25 kills or more since everyone was learning, and didn't know how to use their (as of then) new tanks.
