Every few months a new Thread pops up, and I get reminded by my ancient gif that i can't blow up a Tiger and Panther in one pass anymore, nor am I able to paint up my planes in my old attacker pattern anymore (red wings, derpy skull)

I know that the SM.79 is a carry-over from the good ol' days of when 50kg bombs weren't flaming garbage but loving hell can we please have 100kg bombs like the Z.1007??? Having only 50kg bombs to start with is so unimaginable poo poo.

Imagine hitting 12 targets but killing none.

if by "some" you mean the g.50 and c.200, yeah, they're not fantastic

That's maybe 20 matches to unlock the 202, if you get bad games and don't have premium? Not exactly purgatory. Plus you definitely have the Cr.42, so you have a premium option.

That is just the new balance system. They needed you in that plane in a specific match.

haven't played the italian one yet but have spent a lot of time in the American one against everything from N1Ks to Mig15s. the only thing you're gonna outrun are other entry level jets.

the most worthwhile things about it is that it is good for ground attacks and has american .50s and honestly I would only play it in SB or tank modes.

Nah that just happens sometimes with it not syncing properly. It should sometime when you log in suddenly get the missing research added.

Unlikely. They won't let us stretch decals to make a vehicle darker or more covered in improvised camo but the mfs who got six huge thick p2w 70's bushes originally can continue using them no problem, while the rest of us grind warbonds and gamble for what exists today.

I will admit I have noticed people will head-on a D.501 and not realize I'm shooting stealth rounds from my centerline hispano until I peel off and they start exploding.

You also forgot Style on the advantages list Nick. These sky-tanks at least look sexy.

Practice. Also some of us when finding a nice spot to go hull down pre-sight the areas we are likely to be shooting at.

Anyway, been getting back into this after a bit of a hiatus, and have been made irrationally angry after discovering this today.



No more war crimes for me.

Just lol if you don't own every P-47 in the game.

The problem is that their drop is so steep that you're either close enough for it to not matter and blow yourself up or far enough to stay alive but have to account for it which is hell.

Thief posted:

also explosives in this game have been mostly nerfed into fireworks and hardly represent the actual horrific damage they can do

AP ammo might not start a lot of fires, or do a lot of splash damage, but it does an awful lot of damage to any module, or person, it actually hits.

Solumin posted:

I think for dogfighting I'd rather have multiple smaller guns, like 6 .50s or 2 20 mms. But if I'm going bomber hunting, give me the biggest fridge launcher you can. Which makes me wonder how the Italian P.108 does as an interceptor...

Tier 1-3 sim is nearly nothing but furballs if you like exploiting that kind of thing

I did just drop a torp right next to a japanese m24 and it did absolutely no damage, but it flipped him over two or three times before landing on his side and driving off. It was the only drop where I failed to kill at least one tank, I was surprised. No terrain or obstruction between him and the blast, just bugged out zero damage for some reason.

Otherwise torpedo bombing is pretty great, highly recommended.

It says a lot about AB that 'some basic competence' along with low-effort rules exploitation lets you basically dominate the game. I used to do this to the bomber spawns when I wanted to actually win games (because I refuse to actually fly a bomber) but it got old real fast.

Or making the spawn zone a no fire no collision zone. Would also prevent spawn crashes and team killing
