BBJoey posted:Well I guess it's pretty loving obvious why the Italian/Japanese .50s and MG131 do poo poo-all. 13 x 64B has a worse muzzle velocity (and energy) than 12.7 x 81SR  13x64B Muzzle Energy: HET: 9,600j AP: 9,500j E: MG 131 had a RoF of 900 rpm. The Ho-103 and 13mm Type 2 had the same RPM as the MG 131. The 12.7mm Breda-SAFAT was rated at 700 rpm The US M2 shot at around 600 to 800 rpm Jobbo_Fett fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Apr 25, 2015 |

If you want a quick and easy way to differentiate between IJA and IJN, the IJA used "Ho" followed by a number. IJN aircraft guns were "Type" followed by a number. Edit: Sort of like how IJA aircraft almost always (if not always) used the Ki- prefix. IJN aircraft followed a designation system similar to the USN.

I've really come around to No Markers CARB. It took a little getting used to not to use the minimap all the time but it's a lot of fun to find and murder people. It's like where's waldo with high explosives.

The Su-152-54 is going to be a beast to fight against. That thing has a heat round or so with 400mm penetration at all ranges. Would be funny to use it to cause a Maus to have it's turret explode into the sky though.

The current air event on the Russian side is amazing. Every match is a race to see how quickly the Russian team can be wiped out by a force half their size. I'm not even really fighting anymore, just queuing up and going  the whole match.

 http://gfycat.com/FrequentKindEgret Got the F9F-5, and oh man is it fun. May not be able to keep up with the other big jets but it's so responsive, the airbrakes are like a bullet time toggle. Feels much better at acceleration than the F9F-2, and the partial paint job is rad.

I'm still adjusting to the bloopgun on the P63, but I find the 4 .50s are enough for fighters most of the time while the 37mm will ace bombers or other easy to hit targets if I have a sure shot. It's nice to have a bloopgun plane with some other armament.

I just downloaded this and did the tutorials/flew around random battles. Seems hellafun. Made an application to join LAME (a squadron i can deeply identify with). In game name: myxilplix Mumble is pretty quiet at the moment so i thought i'd post here.

A single short burst with my MGs and two FWs jusy burst into flames. Thanks to another goon who shittalked them and made them real mad. In the end I got 4 kills and a bunch of pubbies mad.

T3 fighter race event is on, you want a Spitfire or Hayabusa, rewards are pure poo poo though. Step on the WEP and avoid other planes, learn the track and actual size of the markers, follow a proper racing line. Took second place in the Hayabusa after leading the race for 95% of it and dying clumsily and being given the longest possible respawn-time, lost 158 SL. I don't get it!

The new WW2 chronicles event is also hilariously unbalanced. The best plane the Germans get is the 109 G2/trop, whereas the brits get the Spitfire LF Mk IX and 4 additional players.  If they took the LF IX out and left the F IX it would be quite a good matchup.

And what's the deal with the the 12 allies on 8 axis player limits throughout these events? They were starved for material and pilots but this is pretty dumb for game-design.

I don't get it either. It makes sense when you've got an event with Tigers fighting 76mm Shermans, or perhaps 109 F4s fighting Yak 1Bs and alike, but giving one side superior aircraft AND a numerical advantage? If the LF IX pilot is smart I don't really see what a G2 can do against him.
