DON'T. DO. IT. The G-6 is such an unbelievable crapplane it makes me want to slit my wrists just thinking about flying it. Especially at its rank it's just insane. Any decent pilot will mop the floor with you, especially if they're in a Mk. IX or F8F (which is, given the current matchmaking situation, highly probable). Just save yourself the pain, mate.

Wo wo wooo wait a second.

Even though the flying charactaristics might be not that good, its firepower is unprecedented. You need to unlock the 30mm autocannons for secondary, which gives you a total of 3 fast firing 30mm with a relative high amount of ammo. 30mm kills almost everything in one hit, and with 3x40 shells it's almost a guarantee you'll hit shit everytime you aim for it. Having one cannon in the nose and 2 under the wings means it has a very nice spread which makes it even more easy to score hits.

You just have to stay out of dogfights, and either go after the bombers or circle around and catch some lost lone planes offguard. I kill a lot of stuff even at distances of 500-1000 meter just by firing some bursts with the 30mms. It's a hit and run sort of plane, and it's one of the best in its class. I don't know any other plane with simular rank that has better firepower.

If they had also given it the charactaristics of a good dogfighter it would be overpowered as fuck.

I still have very mixed feelings about this game.

The main issue for me remains the controls. I hate them.

Try flying this game with a joystick or gamepad. Aircraft jiggle from left to right, making it very hard to aim properly. Already have put the sensitivity to 0. It's better now but still a bit jerky.

If you use mouse aim, it's as smooth as glass. it's ridicules really. even if you have a big hole in your wing, the AI will make sure your aircraft will stay perfectly level, while if you do it yourself you have to constantly adjust. This is not right. people don't even control their flaps or rudders, it's all done for them. Maybe they have the illusion they're controlling the aircraft : in reality they don't, they just control the circle that tells the AI where to fly the plane and it does it for them. I'm trying to play this with a gamepad, but I'm at a constant disadvantage, I just cannot match the uber accuracy that mouse aim can provide. I don't like flying with a mouse, but for this game your almost obliged.

Only for bombers, joystick is an advantage, since you can steer your aircraft while managing your machine gun defence at the same time. But there it ends I'm afraid ..

UK rank 4

Hurricanes (both), Spitfire MKI, blenheim, beaufort.

Yeah, especially with Hurricanes 20% reward...  ::) I think the best tier is Russians at 9 lvl: IL-4, Yak-9T, Yak-9K, La-5, IL-2 - and you don't need anything more! :D

Sorry only XP

Lions too... If you don't have premium , you can read how much you could earn with premium account after each battle.

So Theta, please stop writing bullshit!  ;)

Interesting. In theory this sounds pretty cool, but my experience with that plane is that there will be always someone who will catch you and deal with you quickly. Sure, the firepower is swell, but in order to utilize that you need to get a target in your crosshair, which is just so freaking hard to do given what you're up against all the time.. Dunno, maybe with the better matchmaking..

anyhoo, D.520 seems to be the shit at rank 6, turns almost like a Chaika, I was like WTF IS DIS?! how well it turned when I dived on an E-3. It felt like I was playing arcade, sucker had no chance.

Even though my German rank is higher, I use the G6 as top plane. I did a round with it just now (since I didn't play with it for a while); I stayed back, hunted bombers and (bomber)fighters that got seperated from the main dogfights in the middle.

Everything died with literally one single hit from my 30mm guns. And since I'm firing an entire wall of them, nothing that came across my crosshair survived the encounter longer than a few seconds.

It has 135 shells for the 3 30mm cannons, which is plenty of ammo to start firing bursts at big distances and still have enough left to spray a target if you happened to miss everything so far. If you have the reload skill maxed out like I do, they even reload in some mere 10 seconds.


I just love it, I'm the ''camper'' kind of guy who stays back and shoots down whatever escapes the chaos in the middle (because going there will always inevitably get you killed, however good you are) and it's just perfect for that job.

I just killed 7 pesky russians, one yak9T included, with my trusty bf109 f4 tropical. 43K in 15 minutes, no premium.

Thats all.

Is there even a performance difference between the Bf109 F4 and the F4 Trop?
He was not wrong. Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics.

Are you sure you didn't get any battle trophies?
