mfw I found out expert crew for the rank 12 Corsair costs 1.2 mil lions.. at least it is a beast, took it out for its first flight in HB, ended up shooting down 4 Ruskies over Korea earning 58k silver :D

30k in HB battle is not worth playing it... I can earn it as well in Arcade mode...

well, shit, those were two La-7s I think, shot down by G-2

How do you get so much money and experience? Even shooting down 7 to 10 fighters, I dont get that many.

You're probably right, HB sometimes tends to drag on forever... Especially if you're the last plane left alive... In one round me and Surfbird played I managed to land my badly damaged Beaufighter, then went to down one guy, and damaged the second guy (while also suffering damage myself, one engine dead and a leak) so I retreated back to the airfield... Unfortunately the round ended shortly before my second landing... Would have been an interesting match if it didn't, although I would probably lose anyway as Beaufighter is not made for dogfighting 109s fighter planes in general...

you get a higher reward bonus when flying HB, while in arcade you may get 1k for a kill, in HB you'll usually get 3 times as much.. and I got that XP because it was the first victory of the day 5x bonus, otherwise it would be much less

anyways, the excitement for the new Corsair quickly wore off after I realized that I would be facing Doras all the time and the repair cost is actually pretty fckin hefty, so I guess I'm back to owning noobs with P-40 or something

So flying realistic battles give you more experience and points?

yeah, it does, altho the difference between reward in HB and FRB is marginal unlike arcade vs HB

You can just attack ground targets with it all day, or bombers.

Well yeah, the Russian planes are a bit bugged at the moment, as they use a different flight model.

Me and 2 others in our IL-2 randomly joining up after everybody else was shot down. I really got to like this aircraft, gives quite a punch.

IL2 it's extremely good. You can arm it with bombs and rockets, has fast firing 23mm and 7.62 guns, and when you dive, you can turn around very quickly and escape. They are good on the offensive too, 23mm will shred everything to pieces and I have killed my share of people with it.

Are there actually battles where it's like Finns vs. Russians, or Luftwaffe vs. USAF...or is it in every game mode just two teams with every player picking plane he wants?
