Still no Maus

No Maus in WT = WT crap game.

So there's two of us!

Look at this! You mean you CAN have a game with proper engine sounds instead of lawnmowers? l'm impressed. Wargaming, get your head out of your ass, now.

[PanzerKnacker]

Breathtaking. Although I'm a bit let down by the 105mm howitzer sound. It lacks the "boom".

[Butcher]

To quote that guy on youtube: WoT is dead. No more silly prototypes fighting with each other. So excited to play this. Have the devs ever given a hint when tanks will be released?

On a side note: Just unlocked the 3x30mm on the Bf109 G6 and it´s the best aircraft I ever used in WT. Instakill everything.

[THeTA0123]

Bah, the triple cannons for german aircraft is what bothers me in this game.

To freaking powerfull in Arcade battles (DONT COME BITCHING WITH HB ELITISM, 70% plays AB :/ )

Other then that

LISTEN to how beautifull that maybach engine purs in the videos!

Do the extra gun pods alter the flight abilities of the airplane in AB as they do in HB btw? Just a question out of interest.

Yes, they do. But who cares about 3,1 m less climb rate per second, 1,1 secs to turn time and 12 km/h less, if you can instakill everything? Just blew up 9 bombers in arcade battle without getting hurt. xD

Yeah, because that's what breaks balance. Not the UFO Spitfires, indestructable Yaks and Migs, and not the overarmed 12x.50cal and 30mm cobras and other US stuff.

12x .50 cal? Where did you get that? , triple 20mm are fine, in fact F-4 with single cannon is useless.
The biggest problem I have with the game right now is the "upgrades" system, having to grind an absolutely useless aircraft for loong ass time before it gets any good just ruins the fun. I see no point in progressing up the tree now, you're just being punished for buying a new plane. That and the fact .50 cals are useless and weak, those are the worst problems right now IMO.

[:| Hi]

F-4 with single cannon is useless. Agreed. Couldn't get that many kills for the life of me with it. The additional cannons actually made my BnZ kill people instead of just scratch em

There is a trick how you can make good use of .50 cal. You have to get really close - about 250-300 m is a good distance and then spray the target. All .50 cal in the wings will run together in the target at that distance and you have to set your convergence to 200 or 300m. The lower you get your convergence the better you will get in general too. This applies for other planes aswell, but is most mandatory for US planes. Telling that .50 cal is uselsess and weak is a bit over the top IMO.

The sole fact thay you have to use a "trick" to make fifties useful (I'm talking about high tiers of course, on lower tiers they are magnificent) While you can just derp around with pretty much anything else (even 7mm feel more powerful, no shit) proves they are useless .

[hitm4k3r]

Ofcourse you have to fly an airplane according to it's abilities. What else did you expect? An no - 7mm are not more powerful and I don't know where you got that from. I don't start shooting at my enemies anyway, until I am not closer than atleast 400 m. But flying an amercian plane with .50 cal in the wings you will have to stick alot more to that tactic. That you don't know how to make use of your weapons doesn't make them useless in general. But well, you will know it better.

Experience .
And I have no idea why you're assuming I'm firing 50s over the long range. Maybe it's the combination of the plane and gun (Corsairs) that doesn't work, but they just don't shoot anything down.
Oh and remember I'm talking AB here.

[Sander93]

The 7.7 on the Spitfire Mk.1 are fun, they do fuck all against the planes themselves but you spray so many bullets that at least one of them is bound to hit the pilot.
