What is the best plane ever made and why is it the J7W1?

Should call it OUTSKILLED edition

Third for WT TS is now WarGame Red Dragon TS

But that's the F4H.

Shit game and even more dead then WT

tfw /wgg/ is kil

>high speed and low maneuverability for high skill BnZ maneuvering
>easy to spin for high skill vertical flatspins
>low RoF 30mm cannons for high skill marksmanship
>6.0 BR for outskilling jets
>60kg bombs which require direct hits for maximum skill
>requires MEC for maximum overskill

How can teebs/p-80s even compete with this level of skill?

THE SKILL IS OFF THE CHARTS

Post jets being outskilled

FUCK!

I should have taken that fuel out of my tracks

Killcams lie. Look at the bottom left.

I know. but killcams never fail to amuse me

I want this meme to stop

What if the J7W1 shitposter is actually a weeb false flagging?

I don't think even teebs are that stupid.

For maximum fun do I research the Ki 200, Kikka, or R2Y2?

Never flown jets before.

should i buy the archilies or firefly?

R2Y2 is a nice and forgiving first jet.

Kikka is too after you get the second cannon, but the grind is brutal.

Ki-200 and Me-163 doesn't fly like other jets, they have obscenely good performance but only as long as their fuel lasts.

R2Y2
It's an OP paper plane

I mean I get it if it hits at an angle that the shaped charge tip can't physically hit anything but fuck my shit up otherwise

WHEN

...

>no bonus rp for researching all vehicles of one tier

>3 Nighthawks X'd out
>only 1 ever lost in combat
??? do Serbs have trouble counting with all that rakia in their systems?

>believing US propaganda

Supposedly a second one was rendered combat ineffective, but I think the point was more "We shot down your space-age top secret fighter jet".

"and then gave the wreckage to the Russians xaxaxaxa"

>F-117
>fighter jet
You're a Serb, aren't you

desu i just want armored cars so i can mad max and ww2 at the same time

You know what the "F" designation means, right? I'm just calling it what it's designated, I know it was an attack aircraft mainly.

Not that it mattered, because it still got shot down by some Serbs with a SAM.

>tfw the superior system got trashed because army/air force faggots don't have the brain capacity

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1922_United_States_Navy_aircraft_designation_system#Similar_systems

same bruv, more early-mid tier stuff would be choice

>kill 4 guys trying to defend a point
>3 of the 4 respawn as dive bombers and blow me up

is there a mode where respawning is not allowed? This shit is so aggravating.

>i stayed in the same place and died

>things that didn't happen

I was well on my way to the next point, sorry I play a heavy tank that's not zooming around at moc 1

Next time kill them before they get the points to respawn.

>moc 1

>model one of a bunch of different kinds of items

What, you prefer Bf 109, Bf 110, Me 410, Me 264? Where did these numbers come from? Nobody fucking knows.

>playing GF
>some bomber strafing me
>pinned down by 2 enemy tanks that are behind a building i'm next to
>bomber goes to do his next bomb attempt
>bombs land a bit too far from me and right next to his two teammates pinning me down
>both die

It was a teeb plane too

I do prefer different things having different fucking names, yes. The Luftwaffe being slightly inconsistent with their naming is better than the US bullshit.

What's why they have informal names like the Grumman ___cats and the Republic Thunder___

SPAA needs to be removed from this game, no one even uses SPAA to shoot down planes, they use it for an easy way to flank and shoot the rears of tanks.

People who kill others seconds within spawning need to be blown up

Spawns need to stop being right on top of capture points

This game is just so broken for GF, but thank god they went ahead and added in ATGM instead...

>Designed in the seventies
>One shoot down out of thousands of sorties.
>The guy had to break orders for a third lock

Nevermind, I'm incapable of reading

Anyways, point still stands that the Serbs shot down the cutting edge space-age jet fighter that they couldn't even get radar lock onto before that. Saying "But it still did thousands of sorties!!!" means nothing if Serbs shoot down what was supposed to be undetectable, and then hand over the wreckage to Russia.

Anyone who played on the dev will tell you that ATGMs aren't a big game changer.

It's not that, it's that they waste time on adding in more useless shit instead of fixing problems that already exist.

How long until the update? My premium just ran out and I don't want to get it again until then.

Sheridan and IT-1 will be useful but wont shake anything up. Raketenjagdpazner and Strv 81 will literally change nothing because lol MCLOS.

>tfw killing a captured premium while using the normal one

>tfw they call "fucking bullshit"

how to fix the game

>lower SPAA penetration, no longer able to penetrate tanks even from behind
>increase plane time by 15 seconds to make them more meaningful and a more lasting objective for SPAA
>decrease plane health to allow lower penetrating SPAA to shoot them down easily
>getting too close to an enemy spawn will trigger periodic heavy artillery strikes on top of the advancing enemy
>FUCKING FIX THE MAPS SO A SIDE DOESN'T HAVE A CRIPPLING DISADVENTAGE (enemies closer to capture points with better cover and high ground, nearly unflankeable thanks to cliffs and hills)

>arcade

No bitch ass nigga. Kys

How to fix SPAA
>remove APCR/HVAP
>fix the ZSU-57-2 pen to be sub 80mm pen
Also,
>"decrease plane health"
are you new here?

Kys yourself, faggot ass bitch nigger

This is some preeeeeetty advanced retardation

Fuck you spic queer cunt shithead nigger

German SPAA are the main culprits for SPAA abuse. I literally don't believe any of them play SPAA to kill planes and instead use it as an assault vehicle since their pen is stupidly good for their BR.

>what is ZSU-37
>what is ZSU-57-2
>what is M19
>what is M42

>what is literally the entire German SPAA line apart from the Coelian

Also lmao at calling the M42 and M19 SPAA abuse.

>IT'S ALL THOSE FUCKING WEHRABOOS' FAULT
This has to be some kind of diagnosable condition

>Achilies in real life had APDS
>Achilies in WT doesn't

why

>diagnosable condition
she's long gone user, it's unrecoverable

>spam filter is literally not letting my reply to you

niggers

Same with the firefly and Avenger. Gaijin doesn't want Teebs dominating BR 3-5.

>ZSU-37
was designed to fight tanks as well
>ZSU-57-2
obviously
>M19
okay
>M42
lolno

>was designed to fight tanks as well
s o u r c e

And FYI having anti-armor ammo produced for the guns != "designed to fight tanks" because that applies to literally every SPAA.

>because that applies to every SPAA
kek no
not every SPAA had ammo for use against tanks, fuckwad.

Except they all do?

>>what is M19
>>what is M42
60mm pen at best? Literally only a problem if you're also SPAA or a leo?

Meanwhile, the Flakpanzer has 60mm penetrating ammo at BR 1.3

Naziboos be wack

>people crying over SPAA
stop using slow tanks, jesus.

git gud

>posted from my Wirbelwind

...

...

How long until shilkas and AA missiles

>shilkas
1.61

>AA missiles
never

they probably thought they hit more. These planes were visible only when their bomb bay was open, so it was pretty hard to confirm kill, unless you find wreck.

I'm still waiting for the M163 they promised me when they released the falcon.

The VADS, Shilka and Gepard are all coming with 1.61, that much is confirmed.

Dunno what Gaijin was doing with the Falcon, they really jumped the gun compared to the other nations getting their advanced SPAAs.

no plane is undetectable, just like no tank is unpenetrable. It's all about feasibility stealth or armor provide.

...Kind of arguing semantics when it still got shot down.

arcade, huh? You should start with:
>remove plane killstreaks
>make players bring their own planes and pay for repairs

>f8f turns faster than memefire
>faster in a straight line
>dives faster
>better energy retention
how do I kill them please

>2016
>complaining about the F8F

just boom and zoom

>the first competent navy plane
>waah, I actually have to try, this is OP

done better

why's the water green in certain weather type of maps ??

Am i in shreks swamp ???

>tfw 1.61 will have 19 different T5 tanks including the T-62, M60A1, and Leo 1A1
I'm already hyped

Proofs?

UK to Nuke Germany when ?

>mk108 wrecks tanks better than mk103

gaijin quality control

How do i kill T-54 1947 with the 88mm?

Flank.
