What a shame, my beaufort is quite meh, I am thinking of switching to the germans/Soviets, any Ideas?

I know it's April 1....but ugh....

Burn em with acid.

I really dislike the way twin engine fighters behave now. They're slow as a whale, as slow as the Catalina! My BF110 and ME410 agility it's gone, and even with engine and polished fighter, Im still slow as a brick.

What the hell happened?

Patch 1.29 happened and nearly everything is fucked.

Go Soviet, at least they're OP

whut..

Yuuuup, they are even in-game . WT is pretty unplayable right now because of all the ponies.

[Butcher]

And I thought when Sicario posted he downed 14 ponies in one game, he meant Mustangs.

[SiCaRiO]

funny thing is, I found a glitch with the ponies, go 109% power, drop all your bombs/rockets, and watch how your speed increases even when climbing. I could drop my speed bellow 1000, it was amazing

I turned off automatic repair and resupply, I am making a lot more money now, Really good if you play several nations. Most of my plained only take like 40 minutes to repair for free anyway so if you play 4 nation they are almost every time repaired.

I honestly don't know what the downside is of not resupplying.

Edit: Is this fake?

Sure it is, since nearly 70% of the vehicle icons are from Blitzkrieg !

Well now, I actually decided to give it a go. So far pretty disappointing... It seems joystick controls are an after thought.  This game is not specifically tailored for mouse/key is it? I have not tried anything out of arcade mode yet, maybe the realistic mode will actually have realistic controls. :O The planes really fishtail when you add a little rudder. Also, using the hat switch on the joystick is worthless. Using the TrackIR makes the viewing better though. I am also getting a strange graphical bug. The explosions are nothing but black blocks...

[Pejsaty]

Don't even try to use a joystick for this arcade game. Have you already played with mouse? If not, you should try and then you'll see what I'm talking about!

[siben]

Finally, a game where people that don't use joysticks can be good at! I hate when some guy is uber good just because he has a joystick...

[McCloskey]

I'm pretty damn sure nobody plays FRB with mouse...

[hitm4k3r]

I also could imagine that the historical battles are also easier with a joystick. With some planes, like the P40 for example, where they f*cked up the flight model you will have much more success with a joystick.

I mostly play HB, still with mouse but I guess that the performance gap isn't that huge as you have to encounter the g-forces and everything much more. It is not as easy to hit something as in the arcade battles where you simply have to move your mouse over the target.

But setting up the joystick seems to be a pain.

Joystick controls have always sucked. They - rightly - let that go for the most part. One of the many reasons World of Warplanes failed before it came out of the hangar. It's dead in the water now WT has arrived. Mouse works great, for once in a flight sim. Can we have some fun too for once? So tired of elite flyboys. With somewhat bearable joystick control WT would turn into a small elitist community, and be gone in about three months. Anyone can feel like an ace, that's the strength and slapstick fun. Elitist flyboys need to go elsewhere.

Also, one more good thing: Extremely few SIEMA SIEMA SIEMA PL PL PL PL POZ eastern EU idiots.

[|7th|Nighthawk]

Haha, reminds me of WoT somehow

"SIEMA, WITAM, PLPL"

Well, I gave it a go. Played 5 or 6 games, reached british rank 2 and was on top 3 on all rounds except for first. Flying is so easy, I don't understand how those guys have trouble hitting me when their on my tail  .

Obviously I had friend on all those matches, so we were constantly clearing eachothers tails  .
