But you most certainly will fight lvl 7-8 planes with a biplane... That means they get the Bf 109 F4 for example and you get a Gladiator/P 26 Peashooter... Of course it works both ways...

But like in WoT,does a He-51 fights a MiG-15 in the same battle?

Depends on the time you play and wich kind of match. If you play want to play HB or FRB and there are not many players in the queue you have a good chance to get into fights against high level planes. But I personaly haven't seen a jet for a long time and I fly planes uptil level 9. They have improved the matchmaking alot since the last time I saw a jet in a match.

But there are some planes that are quite good like the F2A3 wich have a unfinished flightmodel and can turn and climb as if there is no tomorrow. This plane is perfect against higher rank planes like the BF109.
And don't forget to give the I152 a spin. Same story and a shitload of ammunition and high fire power. We had a squad of I153 some days ago in a HB and ripped the enemy planes like Spitfires or even P47.

First round in HB in my Late Wellington. I also made 3 other fighters abort there attack since i shot them till they burned. Got the impression that its defences and bombs are rather good.

[McCloskey]

you destroy 7 ground targets and make 40k? WHAAAT! I don't think I made that much when I took out over 20 of those.. were those pillboxes?

[siben]

I killed tanks with my bombs.

[Pejsaty]

Seems like HB has higher reward, but it takes longer than Arcade Battle, so it's logical.

[Surfbird]

Well, you get most money from killing tanks and of course you get a lot more cash and xp from Historical Battles in general.

Killing 1 plane in HB equals killing well...I'd say 5 planes you kill in arcade. But for more than 2 or 3 airkills with a fighter you usually need to reammo at mainbase and come back.

Heavy tanks are the most valuable targets to fight. Some heavy pillbox might bring a bit more but it's usually somewhere on its own while tanks come in groups.

It's a really nice system. When you are not careful you can spend over a lot of time in a HB and get nothing out of it when you get shot down early, but when you fly intelligent you can make much more xp and cash than in arcade. In arcade you always get at least some xp and cash, but even when doing great shitload like siben out of it.

[siben]

it is mostly luck, games like that one are like once every few days, i average maybe 15k lions a game.

Here is killing 3 aircraft in a Bf 109 F4

Battle is a lot shorter, but cash is nice for it.

[LuckyOne]

^ That's a good average, mine is about 5k per match... I guess even in historical playing with a (crappy) joystick has its disadvantages... The best match I had was around 37k in a Beaufighter...

I think siben has premium account, you have more experience and money per game.

I don't have premium, you can see it because my screens clearly say that with premium account you would have earned ...

I must say though, the level 7 aircraft get expensive. I play many nations, so i play every plane till it is destroyed. Then i switch to the next one. The repairs are getting insane after a bit.

Just play HB, pick your targets, i you have a 250kg bomb, go for the medium tank, not the AA or APC.

Play during the day, lots more noobs also for some reason.

An i am not THAT good, lol, I barely make it top3 most of the time.

[McCloskey]

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

[siben]

thats, nice..

10 ranks higher cant be easy.

[:| Hi]

I shot down a G-6 in my F2A-3 or it was the F2A-1, not totally sure, just know that I barely managed it and only because of the incomplete flight model for the F2 series. The feeling of success was great

[LuckyOne]

thats, nice..

It can if it's a bomber.

Downing a Wellington with Hurricane Mk I always feels nice...
