Canberras are far more annoying than B-17s or B-24s when they're the last plane. And god drat the Tigercat is awesome. Terrible roll rate, but that's standard for twins and who cares when you're this fast and powerful?

Took me 29 "hits" with the rear 13mm on the Do 217 to kill a Lagg. And that was by pilot death, in the end - I got exactly 0 crits. Good to see they've fixed non-US MG damage

I shot up a Japanese B17 last night with the cannon corsair. Not a single crit, I even bounced off the tip of his left wing with my plane without apparent damage to either of us when i crashed into it. I must've dumped at least half my rounds into him and he didn't go down, two other guys went at him too and he still flew on as if it was nothing.

The Japanese MG is pretty much hilarious in how utterly useless it is in the Zero, I don't think I've ever gotten a kill from it.

I have no idea what real-life ballistics are like, but I know that if I'd had a Russian or American .50 instead of the 13mm that Lagg would be on fire in the first few hits.

It's pretty awesome how Gaijin removed all the other objectives on Bulge, so that if the German team doesn't have bombers the Allies can win if one of them takes max fuel and never stops climbing all match. Ask me how I know.

Has the Spit Vc changed in this patch, or has it always been an unbelievable sack of garbage? I just flew it in the event and holy moly. It will redline its oil - as in, 2 minute countdown until your engine dies - at 70% throttle, and on WEP you're looking at a 8-10m/s climb. Utter plaything for 109Fs.

So is there something I'm missing with the DO 217? Because its position on the tech tree after the BF 110 and the fact that the game likes to call it a heavy fighter initially led me to think I could fly it kind of sort of like I flew the 110, but then I hopped in and discovered that it seems to fly a whole lot like a bomber with no bombs and some admittedly nasty nose cannons.

I would actually take an Italian gun, or a single 7.7 over the German 13mm. I don't expect it to punch planes dead in a single burst, but it takes loving forever to kill someone with 13mm even if you're spraying them right in the face. It's so weak that it feels bugged.

There was a time when the Do-217 could soak up damage like a sponge and had a loose flight model that made it own bones in Arcade. Now it's stiffer and heavier, so it isn't as good, but it can still do OK in Arcade. I don't really like it in RB because it's too heavy and too slow.

That's because it was a bomber they decided to turn into a night fighter.

Use the stealth belts, they're the only ones that do appreciable damage. The AP-T ones are ok too but not quite as decent.

I believe I just met Yoloswag420 on Sicily. Sorry if you were that He112 man, I though I'd be pulling a tighter vertical loop, never played the F2A-3 in RB before. I did enjoy the fact that going after the flaming wreck of the JU87 was more important for my pubbie wingman then, I dunno, helping me with an He112A0 and FW190A4.

Malta isn't too bad, but New Guinea is a little better. Any one of them is better than flying it in normal matches and going up against loving P-51s.
