Get down low, low, low to hit em.I hate having to deal with bombing moving ground targets.
Edit: Two missions in a row where I achieved nothing. This one I had a wing tore off by a Russian plane in one burst.![]()
Ever heard of the F6F Hellcat? Even the P-51 faces A6M2 mod 11's and Bf 109 G-2's...Americans? Undertiered? They're ridiculously overtiered because they don't excel in anything but bombers..
Yeah, noticed that after spectating another player in a Ju-88.Get down low, low, low to hit em.
DW, I often get long losing streaks. I got 1-shotted in my D-13 by (Russian) airfield AAA while in a 750-800kph bank...![]()
Basically for American planes, story goes like this:And they lose miserably against those planes.
Go take the F6F, the P47, the F7F into RB. Those things are utter monsters!Americans? Undertiered? They're ridiculously overtiered because they don't excel in anything but bombers..
A quick match in RB will show you why, as well: Nobody climbs and three minutes into the match, you've got your entire team lawn mowing - long before any enemy contact.And they lose miserably against those planes.
Pick ultra low quality, legacy graphics card, fully low settings and I'll check the other settings. If you can get 60+ fps with that, you can start ramping up the settings.Downloading this on my computer now...I have doubts that it can actually run it, but what's the harm in trying.

You could lose with the Fw 190 A-4 that way![]()
What are your computer's specs?First attempt froze after log-in. Second attempt ended with a blue screen.That was with low settings. I'll try to lower it further.
Edit: Lowest possible settings still gave same blue screen results. Graphics card can't handle it.
If you side-climb, then boom and zoom an enemy below you, you shouldn't get shot down. Going for ground targets may have you survive a tad longer, but you will die in the end. American planes down on the deck vs Japanese planes is suicide.Could it be because my experience shows that you get shot down within a minute of the contact to enemy unless you're going for ground targets, no matter how much you duck and weave and try zoom and boom?
Americans vs what nation?Any of the dozens of RB missions I play every day. Enemy always seems to be higher than my team, no matter how we climb.
It's a laptop with integrated graphics, unfortunately. The downfall of having received a laptop as a gift.What are your computer's specs?
Americans vs what nation?
Hmmmm... fair enough, I'll look into this... I won't be playing for about a month as I will be overseas (Singapore and USA) with just a Macbook.Germans and Brits, who tend to have pretty climb-biased planes.. And in some cases, their planes have better performance at lower altitude than Americans.
Spitfires are great climbers and turn very well, but they're generally slow, have bad energy retention and can't hope to keep up with most American planes in a dive. You can basically gain an energy advantage on them even if they're at higher altitude. They're also quite short on ammo and can't take as much damage.Germans and Brits, who tend to have pretty climb-biased planes.. And in some cases, their planes have better performance at lower altitude than Americans.
No. I've been looking at Elite: Dangerous, though, as its coming out within two weeks. Dunno, not sure if I'll get it, though.Also, any of you guys play Star Citizens?
You were just shot down by rockets from enemy planes?Had something happen that I never experienced before last night. Was getting shot and the screen went blurry for a moment. I wasn't pulling any hard Gs so I'm not really sure what that was suppose to be for.
I don't think I was. Do any tier 1 or 2 planes have rockets?You were just shot down by rockets from enemy planes?

F6F, I-153, I-16, Il-2, LaGG-3 (early)...Hurricanes, F4F etc..
That would be it then. Can't remember which plane exactly, but it was either the LaGG-3 or the I-153 that got me.F6F, I-153, I-16, Il-2, LaGG-3 (early)...
Soviet rockets have an ability to set a distance detonator, which makes them useful against air targets. Sometimes they shot me down, and I had a blurry screen, too. I have hit some planes with rockets, too, but only in arcade. They're pretty useful against heavy bombers.![]()
