Russians can't even WEP above 3000, or at least some of them can't. Then there's the Yak that has no WEP. :lol:

Yaks don't have a WEP mode at all. The Donkey (I-16) can't WEP at 2000 or so, if I remember, and Lavka can't at ~3k.
Anyway, Yak engines heat like their normal 100% throttle is the WEP mode.

Flying my D3A1 the other day, went in for low a bombing run. Second or third bomb happened to hit and destroy an enemy fighter. :lol: Had just been wondering if I could get someone with bombs that day.

I remember the time when I was flying a Wirraway in arcade with bombs delay set for 1 second. Flying low, and an enemy fighter gets on my tail. I dropped a bomb on a ground target, he followed me as low as I was... Boom! "Plane destroyed" and "Surprise!" medal. :D

That is what the Ki84 is for. :D

The A7M is coming as a premium in the next patch if you want to wait.

Hayate has a bit higher battle rating. Plus the FW is armored better, and armed better (only Ki-61 hei can fire Minengeschoss rounds in the Japanese tree) than the early キ84, at least.

So I spent that gold on three planes:

Japanese FW-190A-5;
American Bf.109F-4;
Thatch's F2A-1 (for the small remaining change).

Here's the result of my latest RB fight on the Focke (Midway map):

I took fuel for 20 mins only, shot three planes down (two Lightings and one Mustang)...

and the last enemy remained (P-63C Kingcobra). He was lurking for over 10 minutes, and our guys started to run out of fuel. I headed to the "B" island and started hanging around it, cutting the engine occasionally to save fuel. When it only left for 2 minutes, I landed on the airfield that was still hostile so I could not refuel. A couple of my teammates landed there, too.

And when he finally showed up, I started the engine quickly and took off. Two mates stayed on the field, and the Kingcobra killed one. I turned back with my fuel tank drying up, faced him, and when the fuel was left for 15 seconds only, opened fire... Bang! Done. Epic final. :lol:

When it was over, my fuel ran out completely.^ :D
 
I'm downloading the update. They added Steam achievements here... :dopey:
And something more.

Edit: First British tanks, new rocket vehicles (Panzerwerfer, Katyusha and more), new demolition system, water rendering, new planes (Pe-8, A7M and many more)... and MOAR.

Patch is available for PC already, PS4 will be later today. Apparently it's already underway as the server is down.
 
Just was trying to outmaneuver a Spitfire on my A6M5 and... CONTROL LOSS!
Hello, new flying model.

And again, all rocket tanks are premium. Panzerwerfer, Katysha and a rocket-carrying Pershing that requires you to have a Calliope to buy it.

Ground RB mode now has markers that light up the enemy you hit for your teammates. Which means, machine guns can be used to mark the enemies you see. And AA vehicles are not so useless anymore.

Scope zoom is reduced, and binoculars don't allow a 🤬 to see now.
 
Is it easier to land in Realistic? I feel in Arcade there's a bouncing force of some sort to prevent you from hitting the ground, and this makes it to where I either keep flying or crash land. Or I just suck, which I wouldn't doubt. Feel free to tell me how much of a newbie I am. :D
