Kingcobra is nothing compared to Stalinwood Yak's. Well in AB that is

in any case, they're grouped and annoying as fuck.

head on, I wipe the floor with them, but they move in packs and a BF109 can only turn so fast...

spitfires, beaufighters and YAK-9 are the 3 most OP aircraft ingame IMHO. it looks like everyone is flying one ...

Ok, so I managed to use beaufighters as a support vehicle for dogfights, and killing heavy bombers. Now my Hurricane has rockets, and I simply love the beast. I actually use it to swoop down on bombers and faust them, however, it's accuracy leaves much to be desired. Any tips on how I will be able to bring hellphyrr on tanks and bombers?

Spitfire Mk. IX is the most OP plane in the game as it has no other weakness than it's roll rate, but even that one is still moderate and serves the job. It outclimbs everything, it turns better than anything and it is much faster than anything. Next plane on the list might be the Chaika. This plane is so ridiciolous nonesense in this game, it is a complete joke.

The problem is that the Spity Mk. IX is a tier 10 plane and yanks get it as a premium plane on level 5. I see only freaking premium Spitfires since the last big patch and that's the thing that will keep me away from this game. Because that's the step when they turn the whole game into pay-to-win. This plane is literaly spoken a one-man-army.

You can deal with Beaufighters and Yaks fairly easy btw, atleast in HB. People who judge planes after their performance in AB have no clue what they are talking about tbh. This game mode has no proper physics implemented and you can do anything with a plane, no matter whether it is physical correct or not. You will never have to think about your ammunition, landing speed, when your wings will get ripped off or the strength or weakness of your plane in general. The only thing that matters is the size of the gun. In HB the yak 9t is quite a challenge to fly as you only have 30 rounds of cannon shots that you have to use very careful and the flying abilities are not that good either, atleast not compared to the other planes on that level ... we are talking about Bf109's and Spitfire Mk IX.

Yaks have crappy climb rates aswell as the Beaufighter. If you consider those planes as OP then I don't know. Alt-advantage is all that matters in this game, as you can transfere it into speed. Heavy fighters are planes that require alot of team work as you can't climb into nowhere, otherwise you are pretty fucked when the fighters dive down on your tail. Beaufighters have still good turn rates, but that's a different problem as mentioned before.

Actually the US Spit is sitting at rank 11. Anyhoo, today I give you.. the shortest round of Berlin EVER.



That's what happens when you put armada of B-17s, Tu-2s and Lancaster(s) into one game. GG, mm.

Er whut? If someone plays Arcade obviously he's going to judge plane performance in AB. Even if planes do not fly "realistically", doesn't mean there are no better/weaker ones.

For the Hurricane it's quite simple, the rockets activate left-right-repeat. The only profitable way to attack ground targets is to fly low, and at a ramming course with said target. You put the wing the rocket will be launched from facing the target, and some 50-100 meters before you fire the rocket and pull up. Think of it as a Japanese way of delivering the rocket as if you wouldn't be able to launch it from the plane.
Within this distance accuracy will be high, aiming will be easy and you can conserve ammunition.

Best to practise with are the bunker emplacements, they're static and fairly big compared to tanks.

Too lazy to quote shitmaker but the trick to getting away from Chaika's is to dive.

 Past 500km/h a chaika literally cannot turn unless they kill their engine and lose enough airspeed before they hit the ground. Good way to get away from the chainsaws

Ofcourse planes have some "physics" in AB, otherwise you couldn't fly them. But if you really want to know what your plane is worth of, you will have to fly it in HB. There is just too much stuff that doesn't matter in AB. I started playing this game in AB too - as most other people propably, but HB or even RB are the ways to go, if you look for far better dogfights. You will have to play according to each strenght and weakness of your plane, something that doesn't really matter in AB too - except the bigger gun as mentioned.
I didn't say that those guys are worse pilots or what ever. I just said that it is more reliable to fly a round HB to judge your plane before you try to glorify each plane. I mean such comments like: "Why is Beaufighter so shit?" ... I just don't know.

@Hi: It doesn't matter that you can make this move. This plane is a ufo and completely imbalanced compared to the other low tier planes of the other countries.

Tried HB, found it fucking boring to chase after one plane for five minutes only to run out of ammo after finally killing him. Didn't even make it halfway back to the airfield before the match ended. Match after that it took me 5 effing minutes to get my Beaufighter from the airfield to a proper altitude and anywhere near the actual battlefield.


Nope, I enjoy the chaos and speed of AB much more.
