A question, Butcher. How fast do the B17s go down with the gunpods on the FW? I know I tried to take one down with the G2 and only inflicted minor damage before my pilot got knocked out by its defensive armament.

Played historical battle yesterday on Bastogne and shot down 2 B17 (bots). On my first pass with full ammunition I shot down one B17 and damaged the other one. After that I had to fly back to the airfield to rearm. Later I shot down the second one with some bursts but it was heavily damaged and way behind the swarm. I propably could have aimed better (aimed for the motors from 400m) but they seemed very hard to take down.

Depends, i often go for between the engines on a wing, that takes them down often but it takes time, no instant crash so i often only get assist points, or i aim for the elevator, once i see enough pieces break off there is little hope to land it safely. No point littering the hull with bullets from behind, it will get you killed in no time and has little effect. Also when you attack it is best to have at least 4 x 20mm.

On a rare occasion i spray the hull from the side, front to back, often you hit something important then.

i killed 3 AI B17s with headon passes with my bf109 w/ 20 mm gunpods. usually just aim for the cabin, fire a short burt at .3 km and they are dead

Looks like a new event coming up, it seems like i will be playing a lot of USA the comming weeks.

[Musti]

Ugh 2000 kills in 2 weeks? Dayumn.

[siben]

i only need 360 huh, and you have till 23th.

[Musti]

Okay, 2k kills is a "bit" ambitious, though 1100 for USA are definitely obtainable (low tier trolling)
360 kills in historical battles eh? Almost makes me wanna seriously try HB.

[Sander93]

Tier 6 is my new favorite tier, the Spitfire Mk.II and the Beaufighter Mk.X are simply insane.
Kill after kill after kill after kill after kill after kill ....


Beaufighter even gets 8 rockets every 38 seconds lol, you can effectively use them as anti-air weapon whenever the iron cannons 20mm guns are recharging reloading.

109 F is almost the same, I just go head on with one, two, three, four...kills!

[McCloskey]

The queue for HB Brits was full so I thought why not troll some of the arcaders...... well, wasn't expecting this:



So much lulz in that game, first I trolled them with the little Dewoitine and then they thought they could get my Beau going head on at me... nooblets everywhere

[PanzerKnacker]

I see you didn't have a decent match in the enemy team, not a single Bf

[McCloskey]

Oh god, D.520 is simply insane in Arcade, just had a game with 15 kills to 0 deaths. It's awesome. Deals with anything because of its badass turnrate and unlike in HB where its wings snap off going a little over 600 kph, you can do mad dives in arcade no problem. I'm having the time of my life right now bringing misery upon anyone who dares to cross my path!

[THeTA0123]

70 kills so far with the Yanks. I play primarly tier 3 with a friend, and we rank up those kills quickly

[Tankbuster]

I just reinstalled this game, and I am having problems in dogfighting, I cannot even execute simple manuvers and get outgunned by every pilot I duel with, unless I am using the reserve planes. (Since they are slow and pilots come ahead of me) Does anyone have any tips about what I am supposed to do? I use mouse only.
