How even

dont pull so hard

hello friends what was that config file i have to edit to make it so that turning off my engine mid flight actually works and the game doesn't just turn it back on for no reason?

>and the game doesn't just turn it back on for no reason?
It doesn't for me. Might just be instructor help you need to disable under controls.

Its called realistic controls

You should be able to turn your engine off provided you don't change throttle %, which will cause it to turn back on.

Even if it does turn back on automatically, it should turn off momentarily, enough to cool your engines 10-20% and get you back into the white.

How do you rocket?

Go up. Slowly level out until youre at orbital speed.

So guys, I haven't played the game in forever, did the grind become any worse or is it better now?

Don't listen to NASA shoots it's rocket at a slight inclination of nearly 1 degree. The rocket's own weight slowly pulls it into an "horizontal" position
This is the most efficient way.

It slowly levels out. That's exactly what I said.

Hey is that 1 ton bomb the B-18 gets good for anything?

Yeah, you can bomb something with it.

WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

...

how?

Cheeky prick.
Seriously though. Is it actually worth taking ever?

a better question would be, is it worth flying the b18 ever?

Good point. Not when the PBY has the same BR now...

WILL BE ADDED SOON AS USER GENERATED CONTENT

WILL BE PREMIUM OBVIOUSLY))))))))))))

just flank desu

>americlap situation awareness

>don't cut a tree
How can you not cut a tree in war? They're basically used for everything.

proofs that muhammad (pbuh) commanded those things?

the infographic is patently false. i don't entirely like isis but i think they are generally doing god's work, and objectively speaking if you have any theological understanding you can't disagree with that.

when india tree is added

just rng things

why is that guy in the back of the dicker max so chill?
like fucking look at that guy
he's that alpha as fuck jock at the party chilling out by the pool goddamn

the fuck happened to long 88 ? see this shit so often

It was killing things

that was unacceptable

It's called the dicker max for a reason user, why do you think he looks so chill
why it exists when you have the version with the double mk 103s is beyond me

l2p issue probably

I only grabbed it to unlock the ground attack version of the 335. Now I'm rethinking my plans.

there is absoulutely nothing wrong with that plan))))

>somehow be an ace now
weird

I lost my RB skills because I played too much sim. Can't fucking run from unwinnable battles in RB because of the icons.

Anyone got anything on the Black Widow? I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that thing when there's no bombs for it.

To which file must i edit in the game, so that i can play sim in 3rd person? I'm ok with full real controls its just my shitputer cant run the cockpit view without exploding into flames.

I'd say it's "without good reason"
It's sort of traditional abuse by conquerors in ME to cut off trees to makes wells dry up, to punish towns for resisting

>cut off trees to makes wells dry up
1) Does this actually happen? Aren't the trees there BECAUSE of the underground water source?

2) The fact that they knew you could cut trees to stop the water source.

it sure worked in Iraq, where there are several ghost towns left in places that rebelled aganist Saddam. You can tell them by pile of dried up trees near abondoned town. They would pull out trees and left them to dry, and soon people would start abondoning town. Town with no trees won't survive long.
Some concepts are hard to understand for people living in temperate climate.
Wood is pretty expensive in ME, and cutting down tree to steal it is actually a very serious crime in there.

You fuck up the ground the second you get rid of vegetation

How do I fight IT-1? I always seem to explode when I see one.

pop your smoke and oh wait, you don't get any!

get him to miss you, and then shoot him in his turret face
unless you're on kursk
in that case you're fucked

Why did they not add this again?

>trees use groundwater to survive
>cutting them down decreases the amount of groundwater

Your typical Slav potato pc would not be able to handle heavy smoke decals I presume.

>tfw I call for artillery when I'm about to move through a zone I know there will be enemies looking as a smoke cover

Who said the low settings smoke must be detailed and shit. The PS2 could handle it with Panzer Front, they can't have shittier computers that run WT.

Seems about right, given arty never really does much else anyway.

>Panzer Front
great game.

Just wish the FPS was more than 15. Still fun as hell though.

Any way to find Panzer Front Bis for the PSX? I've looked around and I've not been able to find a rom, it seems to have a mission editor over the normal version IIRC.

>when you pop an arty down on the hilltop in Ash River at BR6.7 and kill 4 heavies

Happened the other day.

when?

buggy ass panther suspension

REEEEEEEEE

That's a small gun

>posted from instagram

eventually got out
wasnt as bad as pic related

literally a PT-76 gun
MEME-FS included

that t34 is not even trying

we lufthansa now ?

Post postfx settings

why does it even happen

ja

totally fair and balans

would dig

>T-64
They would first add the T-55 and then the shitty T-62A just to spite us.

Thank you user

They are adding smoke, but don't get too excited. Considering the fact bushes are premium, smoke will be too and it probably won't work after a few metres like bushes don't. Difference is you won't be able to abuse smoke to hide your weakspots like you do with bushes. And although it was said that only countries that used smoke will get it, you can bet all nations will get them, just like how USSR gets desert camo for all tanks.

ded?

More specifically lack of vegetation makes ground unable to hold water

I take your 76 mm and increase to 105 mm with HEAT-FS and 400 mm penetration

> dat bloom

>Shillelagh has 430 mm pen instead of 380 mm
>HEAT-FS has 350 mm instead of 500 mm
balans )))

>Fearsome 88

>reinhard
fucking gross

what he saying

can I have your aimbot

Why are the B7A2 and the Folgore so much fun to fly?

Because like every fun to fly plane they are sealclubbers

Lost electricity during round...

im aware that its a shit tank

I did the same as , with JP and SU-122-54, same results. Post pen damage seems to be shit now. It's not only the damage that's the problem. I know where to aim to kill a T-44 (100mm mantlet weakspot next to the gun), but fucking shit is legit bouncier than ever before when you shoot it with an 88. I played both M46 and M47 earlier, neither bounced this much with 90mm APHE and they have a ton of less pen compared to the 88

you sure?
