War Thunder

[Musti]

Welcome to WT! now you can sit with us by the fire of bitter WT players. Only planes i bother flying anymore are those armed with 30+mm cannons (and the soviet planes made of stalinwood). Everything else seems retarded, Gaijin and their fucking "adjustments"...

[THeTA0123]

Screw it, im going german bombers/heavy fighters for now. Just rage quitted out of a match where i poured hundreds of rounds from my B-25j straight in an Yak-9T, only seeing him turning towards me and firing a few shots wich ripped my entire wing off

[Butcher]

You know that the Yak 9T oneshots every bomber and every halfway competent Yak pilot thus is going to hunt bombers. Going for the german bombers ain´t gonna change it. On level 4 and 5 the He111 and Ju88 might be effective, but as soon as you get matched with Yak 9T on level 8 (or even airacobras on level 6) it´s gg for you. Going for the german attackers isn´t going to do you any good either. I warned you. Save the money for some 109 F´s (the standard and the Trop) - those are the best german low-mid tier aircraft.

Yesterday I tried HB mode. Once I managed to get 2 kills and one or two assists with my La-5 and earned 30k lions! However, it would be great if only I could achieve this every round... Other rounds when I flew using bombers or British aircraft - Beaufighters and Spit II, I was quickly shot and fortunately I unchecked automatic repairs, otherwise I would be in big ass now...  Really Brits dont have any chance after 5th tier against Germans... My friend told me that it was one of the evenings when you loose round after round...

So I think I'll stay with the Arcade mode!

So far the 110 is still my best performing aircraft    I stopped going head on with Yak 9's and P39's.

Still you need cannons in this game. Period. I hope the DO-217 is worth it(heavy fighter)

[SiCaRiO]

Many of them hitted...You need insane amounts of them to bring down a single aircraft but you need only a few 20mm's to bring anything down

it almost sounds like 20 mm are bigger and have a better explosive force.

[THeTA0123]

Its the diffrence Sicario

20mm's are as how i imagined them to be. .50CAL's are not

.50CAL's had a longer effective range and way more punch on longer ranges. If a 20mm shell impacted near an armour plate, it did little damage. An AP-I round impacting at 400 meters did so with over 10 000 joules force, piercing trough an engine block, armour plate and into the cockpit of an ME109. Anything where it passed trough was showered with hot magnesium.

[PanzerKnacker]

I smell Allied bias

[THeTA0123]

Nope cause my german aircraft die way to fast!
FYI im rank 7 on USA and rank 6 on Axis and UK

[Musti]

The game is broken, that's why MGs and .50s suck. I'm taking a break from it until its fixed, the damage model just feels so random. I just ahd a Pe 2 surviving a direct shot into the tail with 50mm HE. it didn't even lose control or anything, and I also had an Il2 survive 2 hits to the front with 37mm cannon. Insta-ragequit.

Still you need cannons in this game. Period. I hope the DO-217 is worth it(heavy fighter)

Its quite fun, much better than Bf-110 rubbish. Though not nearly as good as the Beufighter.

[THeTA0123]

Well its heck alot of fun and it looks OH SO DAM SEXY AS HELL <3

Also much better tailgunnersection. Frontal firepower is sufficient IMO. Cannons are slightly less powerfull the beau's tough. And you have less ammo

But it does offer a huge advantage in speed/climbing/diving. 570KM/H vs 460KM/H is a big deal!

Still yeah, the Beau is better. But i "like" the DO 217 more.

[PanzerKnacker]

Just got 2Do217s, the J1 and J2, and I discovered I highly prefer fighters to heavy fighters/Jabos.
Is there a "sell plane" option?

[Steel_Lion_FIN]

No, because the tech tree requires you to buy stuff to progress.

[:| Hi]

I re-arranged my room and fiddled with computer location and now I've finally got a spot where I get green ping most of the time its magnificent.

My usual was 300-440 23% +- dropped packets

Now I can kill things.



Also retried the 110 and the 217s.
My response after one game and coming in first place with 8 kills:
