Do any of you have any advice on which stick to use for cyber-acing? My 17 year old Cyborg 3D finally kicked the bucket so it's about time I moved on. I'm eyeing up the x52 if it's actually good but would also be happy with a cheaper thrustmaster if it 'does the job just fine'.

Tanks are bad but if this leads to an expanded plane tree then colour me interested.

Ragtime All The Time posted:It does mention new aircraft in the same sentence as the t6 tanks tho...? "We will post more information as we go along chaps. Watch the news. 1.71 will have our usual addition to the existing game, ground vehicles, planes and maps, but primarily, it will introduce Level 6 Ground vehicles using the new mechanics, this will be the focus on this occasion. There will be no rank 6 aircraft in this update."

Vahakyla posted:How would simtanks and sim planes fare when enemy can have all the units? Sim Tanks already had to work around its Warcrime/lendlease potential by doing that 'can only bring very specific tanks on the event list' thing which tends to be my favourite way to play tanks anyway.

Azran posted:One correction to that post that people noted in the comments: you spend the stars to buy the items/camouflage. So a vehicle costs 12 stars, for example. Yeah, it seems like casual playing will now let you access mid tier rewards without too much effort vs the old system of 'not worth even looking at unless you're grinding erryday'.

CARB can be more interesting and involved in the active CAS role but then you do run the risk of just being bounced by the cyber-ace above.MrLonghair posted:The originals were large and thick enough to give 1970's flashbacks to some people, the replacements were smaller. Bushes are okay in their book but they won't let us stretch decals to their original size.. I'm casually grinding towards them on the new warbond system unless I get bored before then so was wondering if the reward already wasn't worth the effort.

DumbparameciuM posted:I'm mostly playing with German planes/tanks. I do have a good amount of American planes unlocked but I don't fly them that often, although I do find them pretty enjoyable. With Ze Chermans my experience in rb is either: It's weird to me that you're finding US/Soviet planes at higher alt in a 109. This could either be stock syndrome or else you're climbing at the wrong angle because by first engagement the only things that should be able to match you in alt, to my mind, are late era Spits.

DumbparameciuM posted:I usually climb them at between 8 and 10 degrees to maintain a decent amount of speed. This seems too shallow and could be the source of your problem but I'm sure one of the cyber-aces in here can give a perfect breakdown of climb angle and speed at differing altitudes. My personal general rule of thumb is to climb at about 250-300kph which seems to give decent results in 109s but I'm not exactly using scientific method here.

Yeah it really mystifies me that people don't do this by default and it's bad enough that I feel like the local points should just start pre-captured to stop one lone M-18 giving his entire team a disadvantage.

Ambaire posted:I don't get it. What's going on in this video? People are waiting for most of the team to catch up before capturing the close point so that they all get 500 respawn credits. Normally you'll have 2-3 people rush ahead in faster vehicles, thus denying an extra life to all the other players.

Arcsquad12 posted:How does the Allison engine P-51 with the hispanos fare in RB? It was painful to level up in Arcade but once the engine injection finally unlocked its speed it became a murder machine. Since most RB combat tends to take place around or below 5km, I'm wondering if the Allison engine's poor high altitude performance might be mostly ignored. That thing is better as an arcade plane than it is as an RB one but it's certainly workable. chairface posted:Pubbies default to flying everything like it's a loving biplane I feel like this is the key issue, yeah, because even when the pubbie isn't being dumb in the ways listed above they normally seem to have either bled their energy already or will happily do so with elevator maneuvers once engaged.

Alkydere posted:What does that even simulate or anything? It's meant to encourage players to gain an alt advantage over other players and they have to mechanically encourage that because there's literally nothing in the game that would do that naturally like it would in any other flight game ever. Mazz posted:It was good for what it was back in the day. We're talking about World of Warplanes specifically (EDIT: Except that one guy you were replying to, right). World of Tanks fully works nicely until you stick propellers on the tanks and try to call it a new game. As an added lol I just checked the WoWP tech tree and the P-47 isn't even on it even though that's the closest thing you could call a tank with a propeller.
