I guess I'll turn down the control surface sensitivity until I get a better hang of the new physics. I'm thoroughly annoyed by the hapless up-down bobbing of the planes when doing manouvers.
 
Okay.... I sorta actualy like the new crew points system. If you have enough points, it automatically adds a star to it.

I just wish that my already maxed out crews would still be maxed out...
 
Ha, "Control loss" works in arcade, too.
Just had it on my Ki-84, and "luckily" an enemy Focke-Wulf boom-zooming on me prevented me from crashing. :D
 
Yeah, stamina is a thing in every mode.

Also, if you had maxed crews, you're gonna have to pay to get them maxed again. Impossible without paying now.

I have a maxed crew and it is still maxed.
 
Interesting.

Last night I did manage to spade the BF-109 B1/L. Had to refrain from using manual engine controls because anything other than the default settings would burn the engine. Also spaded the Do 217 Z-7, which just came out in the update. :lol: Didn't encounter any issues with the pilot blacking out, but I was never pulling anything above 6G.

What tier is that 109?

Tier 2, Battle rating 1.7.

Only has the 7.92mm guns on it, but they seem to do more consistent damage now. You'll encounter Hurricane Mk IV in almost every match and those guys will go straight for bombers, so if you hang around bombers going for ground targets, you'll be able to attack them. Shot one down just by putting a few shots into the tail, took out the rudder and elevator but still followed it down and put a few more shots into it just to make sure.

Yeah, I think I just got that one and the next one with the yellow nose (not by PC now).

Canons on those things are heavenly..
 
A friend downloaded the game, it was very fun and helpful to have someone cover you and vice versa. Though something weird he had going on. Apparently, he had 1 plane and 2 tanks per country except Japan which had 3 planes. All the starter reserve stuff. When I started playing, it was 3 planes per country. What's up with that? I wanted him to explore the other countries but having 1 plane was a major turn off for beginning a tree.
 
Doesn't really explain why his reserve set up is different from mine. Must've been an update at some point?
 
US reserves: Air: P-26A-34 M2, P-26A-33, P-26B-35. Land: M2A4, M2A2
German reserves: Air: He 51 A-1, He 51 B-1, He 51 C-1. Land: Pz. Kpfw. 35(t), Pz.II C
Russian reserves: Air: I-15 WR, I-15 M22, I-15R. Land: BT-5, T-26.
British reserves: Air: Fury Mk I, Fury Mk II, Nimrod Mk I. Land: TBA
Japan reserves: Air: Ki-10-I, Ki-10-II, Ki-10-I C. Land: TBA

Each nation has 3 air, and 2 ground for the ones that have tanks so far.
 
I was flying the Lagg-3 last night (one of the first Russian planes, that white snow camo one with the 1 .50 cal and the 1 20mm) and was getting pounded by a Ki-43, and it wasn't until my teammate took him down that I realized my rudder was missing. :crazy: These things are so OP...I must have them. :p

here I am playing Tank RB and I get in the G1 Stuka and cant do 🤬 with it.... I'm playing against some T2 tanks, and get absolutely no kills....

Sides and rear with the cannon.

Still, I'll go in and strafe one tank three times, and first run I might get a hit, then a crit, and do two more passes and only get hits.


I just did a practice flight with the 109 E-3 and seem to have bombing down with it, so we'll see how good I am in a player v player match next.
 
Shouldn't have much issue with those. Just hit weak points. I've never taken a lineup of tanks/planes into tank RB though. I've kept a lineup of planes and a lineup of tank separate the entire time I've played.

I actually like it...

So far my line up is both the Tiger E and H1 (I take out the Tiger E first) then if I get enough points, I'll either jump out or die trying and take the Stuka, unless the enemy has planes, then I'll take the BF109-E3... If there's a lot of them, I'll get whatever bomber I have and do some runs, otherwise I'll go back to the Tiger H1 after all that..



I just wish the matches were longer..

Oh they allow just planes in tank battles again? They got rid of that awful points system?
