Yes. Totally. Except for G-6, that thing blows.

Wait, what? Are we talking about the same G-6?

It has 3 fast firing 30mm cannons which completely annihilate everything in mere seconds. Afaik only the Me262 has a higher one-second-burst mass. It's one of the best high tier planes in the game I'd say.

109s rule. just outclimb your enemy and laugh. You will almost always have the initiative as you have more height and thus speed. The E version is still not so cool as it lacks a proper amount of ammunition and has the guns in the wings, but the F and G are my best aircraft. Even better than the crappy FW-190. Also don´t underestimate the accuracy of the 20mm in the nose for F/G.

It doesn't until 720k XP on the plane. Good luck grinding there with the single (actually slower firing) cannon and its 65 rounds, while the plane handles as if the gunpods were already installed. Thanks, but no thanks. By the time I got to not even 150k XP with it, I already had the G-10, which is a vast improvement even though you start with "only" the 20 mm cannon (but playing that plane doesn't feel like such a grind since the 20 mm is enough and you can unlock the 30 mm later if you want).

I guess to an extent you could compare the G-6 to the Mustang (even though I actually shot down quite a few G-6s with my P-51), you get used to it and you can make it somewhat work, but there are planes that give you much more reward that it is simply kind of pointless flying it (sure, you can say it's not about winning/rewards and that it's about flying your favorite plane.. but since the 109s look basically all the same...)

Well I don't know about that, I had it before the patch introduced the 3 cannons as an upgrade and never had to grind them.

With the cannons it's definately not a 'you can make it work' plane. Blows up everything in its path with ease. One burst of the 30mm cannons kills everything, including most heavily armored bombers. One of the most deadly planes in the entire game.


Theoretically I suck at this game because I never bother to apply flying techniques and don't have the patience to disengage and restart all the time, but with the G-6 I've had a ton of kill streaks going up to 10-15 planes.

Is there some tutorial for this? I installed it and the hangar is confusing as fuck, I'm used to the WoWP hangar a bit more, and just came from many hours of WoT.

Yeah but that's arcade... It's like flying against retards, it doesn't count...
:P

(and seriously whenever I play arcade I swear I get teamkilled more often than the enemy manages to kill me xD)

Why is that luck? if the enemy aimed for your cockpit, and comes in from the front for instance then this is more then normal. The skill part here is not to get hit and hit the other guy, not absorb 200 bullets in your body and then scream out fuck yeah when you kill the other one in 1 burst.

A good pilot coming from high altitude will always kill you in 1 burst if you don't dodge him.

Yesterday i did a dive with my A-20 Havoc against a PE-3Bis heavy fighter, i waited untill i was at a range of 200 meters and i unloaded straight into the cockpit.

Thats skill, not luck :/

Yeah, the Japanese can out turn almost all other same tier planes.

Hoewer, theres 1 ting i dont get it:

British  have best engines

Brits have good cannons, MGs suck balls, and planes are made of paper mostly. Also the engines pretty much suck (in HB, my Spit engine always dies, can't handle a quick dive nor a climb). The Beaufighter's engines are decent though.

Americans best damage

Americans are good dogfighters, except Cobras which are pure BnZ, and have nice 37mm cannons. Hovewer MGs aren't that great, despite the range.

Soviets have very machine guns

Soviets are OP, and their planes are made of Stalinwood, the hardest material known to man, also their planes climb faster, dive faster and have tons of cannons. And, yeah the P 39 with the red star is 100 km/h faster just because of it.

... and what is the Japanese advantage? (i personaly tink is bombing, but im not sure..)

What THeTA said, you can't out-turn a Zero
