El Disco posted:I had a game a few weeks ago where I went one on one against a Sea Meteor in my F-80. It was a close thing as we went in and out of a low bank of clouds, until I finally got behind him and put some hits into one of his wings as we were both diving. It wasn't enough for a cRiTiCaL hIt, but it was enough that he couldn't pull out of the dive before he hit the water. But it did take longer than 10 seconds for him to crash, so I got no credit. I was immediately pissed off that the stupid kill system robbed me of the kill, but after I landed and quit (rest of the team was dead, leaving me alone against the rest of the Meteors. Big shocker) I decided that it doesn't matter because that dogfight was extremely fun. Also it helps that I have every non-jet, non-premium plane in the game and more than half the jets, so the grind doesn't matter to me anymore. I once died like a scrub with double digit points and zero shots fired in a Typhoon, but I dragged 5 Nazi thugs down in a defensive spiral right into the maw of the Spitfire hive so I was actually really happy.

Unlocked the Sea Meteor and it's the biggest "holy poo poo this owns" moment compared to the first crappy Meteor

Hit detection and maybe, what it's been flagged to have a chance at taking out is the issue. Yeah this is basically my problem with the thing; the 75mm doesn't do poo poo against targets heavier than a light pillbox. Given that, what's the point of lugging a huge gently caress-off tank cannon around when the previous Duck's 30mm does the job better, with more ammo, with less weight, with backup 20mm, in addition to being a solid anti-plane weapon? Or compare it to the Vickers Tempest which can kill all the same things as the B-3 but is indescribably faster and more manoeuvrable.

I'm thoroughly convinced the shell damage is bugged, especially the HE shells which often take multiple hits to destroy enemy planes should you actually manage to hit them. It's been reported as a bug and Gaijin says it's fine!

FM confirmed unfinished (duh) yet somewhat representative of the final idea of what it's going to be like for the 229, so a fine turner and flipper. High quality testflights of everything new but the Japanese planes hosted on DailyMotion (possible NWS video ads) http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/177906-planes-videos/

So I just played alt-Berlin on as the Typhoon 1b and on the climb up some teammate was like "we're hosed, russians op." I just told them to stick together, cover each other and not to get greedy with kills. We won with only 50% losses in like a 12v12.

Felony posted:I died 9 games in a row last night in RB to one shot blowing my wing off. gently caress this game. Sometimes people say "don't get hit" in a tongue in cheek manner, but with the Ki-84 (a loving fantastically good plane, holy poo poo), you really have no reason to get hit outside of basically sacrificing yourself to kill the last rear end in a top hat hanging out at base or running away. Repair cost as balance is a dumb mechanic, but remember that if a plane costs a shitload to repair, it means that people generally are making money hand over fist with that very plane.

Don't get hit is one thing, but having all your kills happen due to wing ripping bugs isn't fun either. If I wanted a stupid damage model I might as well play World of Warplanes.

Cunning plan: turn off auto repair and play all your other planes in all your other nations while the Ki-84 is being repaired. Worst case it'll be a fraction of it's original repair cost. Best case it'll be free.

I just played six rounds after this mini patch and every one of them was 5v5. I haven't seen an actual 5v5 round since they implemented join in progress-- i wonder if they broke it? RB is unbearably boring like this.

Teal posted:From what I heard Arcade is becoming permanent Sky is for Heroes, the variation where you need 3 tank kills to be able to spawn into a plane. Realistic is using the ticket system from 1.43 ala Sky is for Heroes, and its needed desperately as tried a couple of tank matches in the past week and its completely unplayable as seems the thing to do now is spawn in a plane first then bomb rush the tanks. Just wish they would give more tickets and increase the ticket cost of aircraft accordingly so that you are guaranteed a few tank spawns. There was a plan to try Sky is for Heroes in Arcade, yet it was changed at the last minute, and they have been working on some new mode for arcade tanks for 6 months+ just they haven't said anything about it.
