I managed to farm like 3-4 T4 planes in an hour or so, meanwhile I'm like 1/3 of the way to a T4 tank while using the exact same methods. The grind is definitely worse.

Comparing unlocking the puma to unlocking italian planes makes this really obvious.

The fact all the new tanks are always tier V doesn't help.

Any idea when they're coming out for the general population? Apparently you can only play the Reserves if you didn't buy a pack or something.

Gaijin have quite cleverly removed all the fascist flank roundels and have made the wing rounds not obviously fasces. I was wondering about how Gaijin would handle fascist Italy's iconography.

The Breda.88 is crazy to fly because it looks like it should be a fast, well armed attacker but in reality its outpaced by a Stuka with TIE fighter levels of fortitude.

Easily my favorite 2 engined Italian plane right now

Tanks are in fact, cool and good.

I'm going to get the T-55A next. It's everything I ever wanted from the Soviet tree and a T-54 that has APDS/(good)APHE/APFSDS/HEAT-FS and a stabilizer is going to be loving amazing.

Pay attention when you get it to the damage done by HEATFS internally vs other ammo types. I have a feeling that the T-55A and T95 might have a modifier against those ammos in the penetration algorithm, reducing the spalling/after-armor. Both have direct comments about their anti-HEAT properties (55A from the NBC liner) but nothing shows up in the cards.

Jeez I can't believe we put up with the SM.79 for so long, its weird having an Italian bomber at 1.7 which doesn't have a football field-sized blind spot at the direct six o'clock AND has a decent payload.

The SM.79s are the tax you have to pay to get to the Z.1007 which might be good? It's also at 2.7 so who knows (lower the SM.79)
