War Thunder

FF cannons do more damage in-game than MG151s. Hopefully MG151s will get fixed soon.

I might as well cave in, my user name is siben, add me if you want to play with me.

Playing as the brits at the moment.

If somebody is thinking about which nation to choose, I recommend not to choose Germans - they have really weak planes - 1 burst always takes them, doesn't matter if it's bomber or not... I took Germans and I'm on 8th level and I still regret my decision... But it's not a surprise if we take under consideration who made this game...

The italian planes for the german side are really bad. The breda mg's are so slow and the planes are equally slow as a whale.

[SiCaRiO]

i liked the tier 1 italian biplane.

anyway, my nickname is SiCaRiO31, flying tier 6 planes, german and american mostly

[Musti]

Fiat CR.42 and Folgore are pretty awesome fighters, the ones in between aren't though (mostly due to having shitty weapons, with very little ammo)

Is it just me or do we get more varied battles lately? I just had a bunch of night/rain/ foggy battles instead of the usual sunshine. I really enjoy them, fighting at night, with 0 visibility is epic.

[Yustax]

Just got the BF110, its ok for hit and run tactics, but its too fucking slow compared to the real thing. However I can kill more because of the 20mm cannon and it hits hard, but lacks acceleration.  In IL2 Sturmovik that thing its a beast and in the game its kinda crappy, flies way too slow.

Im going to upgrade it as soon as I get to 6th rank to the next in line, that its superior and faster.

[Musti]

Oh, BF 110 is quite fast, but it loses all of its speed when turning,(like 400km/h to 200km/h in one turn). It's a really bad joke this plane. In everything else its very nice, but that speed bleeding, WTF.

[SiCaRiO]

i learn how to use it, but it requires a friend of mine.

1.- have this friend fly a bomber
2.- scort the bomber around 1.5 km behind
3.- make your friend bomb ships
4.- dive full speed, catch up with him..
5.- kill the 3 or 4 tails he picked in his bombing run
6.- repeat.

Is it normal that i shoot down 2 to 3 fighters every time i take out my blenheim Mk IV? They keep coming at me from the top, and i keep shooting them down manually every time i spot them.

[Musti]

If you're good with aiming/have a good crew then I guess it's normal , Blenheim has really good defensive armament, esp. for its rank, full coverage of the rear, minimum of 2 machineguns firing. I'm still sometimes flying it in tier 6 battles, and it's not useless, I'm working for that 30 kills camouflage, wish you could install the gun pack on it, would be hell of a lot easier

I don't have much info on this game so:

Does "Gold" work similar to WoT Gold? to buy slots, airplanes, special shit ?, is there any way to get gold except by paying for it?

Can anybody tell me how Naval Combat would work? I'm really interested in that part. I'd love to have a Bismarck Class Battleship, if possible.

[Steel_Lion_FIN]

As far as I know, slots are bought with regular credits (at least to 5 slots @ 50 000 creds), and gold is used to buy nation specific planes like in WoT, and also to buy "Talismans" that increase exp earned in battles (not sure about credits).

No naval combat in War Thunder yet.  But since WoT has tank combat already depicted inaccurately enough, i suspect that naval combat would be next.

[Torenico]

Okay, I will go for the German tree so, i don't really care about the others. Perhaps i can progress a bit on the Japanese one for the lulz.

My target, get the Schwalbe!

I hope we can see more Luft-46 airplanes in the future.
