It's way better than the Ki-102. I wouldn't really call it a priority though, but do try it out in a free test flight or something. e: I suppose if you really like the 57mm cannon more than the 37mm cannon it might not be but it certainly flies a lot better and has lots more ammo.

ghetto wormhole posted:can't do 800kph straight down screaming helldives anymore.  It's also annoying how your team will usually ignore your message of "hey, I have 25 bomber busting shots, let me handle the bombers for you" and then get set on fire as they tail them. Thief posted:I bought most of them for the same price you pay for a single meal. The diet/teetotaler approach is the most dangerous way to justify your spending on f2p games. Now to fly my D.520 some more. It saved me 800 calories initially but really the long-term benefit is the fat I'm burning running down the hall yelling expletives and punching the wall. quote:flew the 102 enough It is completely different from the 102.

The IL-10 '46 doesn't really make sense until an enemy sits on your tail and you realise your rear gun is actually a B-20.

It's pretty thrilling to accidentally twist the rudder trim dial the wrong direction for takeoff and WEP immediately into the house next to the runway.

Don't go for full power right from the get-go. Slow start-up, full speed after you have control of the plane, late takeoff.

Half the fun of taking off is slamming full throttle into a swinging fishtail and trying to keep it straight without even bothering to lock your tailwheel  I refuse to memorize which way various props spin for this very reason.Personally I've had to land planes before with only my throttle, wasd keys and a fan.gif because I forgot to import my keyboard controls when switching back to RBs after a few SBs. I need to bind proper trim keys still but for whatever reason, my trim will never lock where I set it. Like its constantly thinking I'm hitting the reset for it for whatever reason so I've just accepted the fact that I'll be leaning on the rudder everytime I play this game. I've actually brought up my Steam overlay or whatever other UI's lock the controls as an improvised trim so I could alt+tab and change songs because I'm too lazy to fix it.

Good point there. I have yet to fly jets in SB but I imagine it to be more fun to fly lovely jets in SB than it is in RB.

The F-80 is hilariously OP because of how the view mechanics are and everyone simply flying to the middle to turn fight on the deck in their 190s. It's just like in DCS when you roll up on P-51s and go for an easy guns kill because they are practically stationary relative to your speed. And if you miss you will be a 1 pixel dot so fast that they will have very little hope of tracking you let alone giving chase.

WebDO posted:Yeah dude, shrapnel through a driver slit is a guaranteed one shot at that tier and despite being gigantic the T-28 can move. With the T-60 the trick is to keep pounding HE from the default belt into exhaust ports or the engine until they burn. That's what I like about WT's tank damage module. It's not about penetration, but at least trying to give shells weight and character. The more you stop thinking "Oh, I can't pen him," and start thinking "How can I gently caress this guy up in a neat way," you'll find some cool stuff.

BBJoey posted:The IL-10 '46 doesn't really make sense until an enemy sits on your tail and you realise your rear gun is actually a B-20. It's such a lovely ground attacker since those cannons can't penetrate light pillboxes or tanks, so going after other planes is probably the best way to play it for now. On Korea/Alt Berlin you get to clean up US lawnmowers, and on Berlin you get to pick on Ho-229s.

Yeah, the late Il-10 is great for faking out the enemy by pretending to retreat then blowing them out of the sky with a few precision B-20 rounds. Granted you could do the same with the early model's .50 with a few extra shots in addition to having actual good ground attack cannons but there's something about the 20mm that's fun. (same with the late Yer-2s actually)

Nordick posted:I've played this game since August 2012. During these 2+ years I haven't, apart from the couple sessions when first trying this game out, played a single session without premium as far as I remember. I understand what you're saying, but if I'm a business, I'm not interested in supporting the person who plays one day a month, because they aren't supporting me with spending 100 eagles. I want the game to continue, this small change is fine. Even redbox is raising their prices after 12 years of not changing their offerings or services. This game has added a lot.

Generally speaking in the Freemium business model the vast bulk of sales comes from repeated minor purchases. So unless WT is an anomaly, that's exactly the kind of player they want to support.

I dunno, I'm pretty sure I'd make them more money as a steady player who kept renewing his premium time regularly with bigger chunks. I'm not saying I don't see Gaijin's reasoning or that I'd begrudge them for doing this, because I fully understand they're just doing business. I'm just disliking this change on a purely personal level because it's contrary to my own interests.

The year of premium I bought (50% sale) cost me ~31€. Thanks rubel! So that's similar to what someone would spend for a day here a day there. So someone playing for 30 to 40 single days spends more money on premium time than me. I too think increasing it by 90% for a single day in one go is a bit much. They'd probably make more money by reducing the price for premium time and offering a "gold/VIP" level of premium time at a higher price than the current one and giving it more benefits. Because if there is one thing to learn from Star Citizen it's that there is always someone willing to pay MORE. Latest early access Spaceship (same as you will be able to buy ingame with normal earnable currency) 2,500$! So :gaijin: would be well served to cut a nice deal on the regular premium time and offer a VIP one with twice the benefit for 3 to 4x the price. Extra benefits: 6 Decals or some poo poo per plane. And unique VIP Decals! Reduced hitlergold prices on module unlocks!

Imagine if Premium allowed you to 'rent' module upgrades without unlocking them, but as long as you were renting one it wouldn't gain any research points. Boom, instant goldmine for Gaijin.

It's an extremely good ground attacker from what I've seen but it's too fragile to be a bomber attacker or head on machine like the 190 F-8. Also the stock Tempest II is way more fun to fly than the Typhoons so I can only assume it's loving amazing spaded. my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Nov 25, 2014 |

It's rather good at popping tanks with its dual mk103's once you have anti armour belts. It's not great plane, it isn't really even a good plane. It's still a jet but a rather "meh" one.

A pubbie who spaded it said that it becomes a lot less wing rippy with both upgrades that add +5/10% structural integrity. He reported being able to pull 13+ Gs without losing his wings. So it might be okay than. I lost them after pulling up slightly. Might  it sometime.

I probably need to just get better, but I have to say I find T2-T3 props much more fun than the top end props and jet fighters. Being able to do decent hard maneuvers without ripping your wings off is kinda nice too. I'd go so far as to say the two most enjoyable British planes are the Britcat and the Spitfire Mk XVI.
