Why deal with this dull grind when World of Warplanes is so much better?

desu if you want to play planes just play ground forces. Drive a flak truck onto the point and get enough sp for a plane and spawn in it and wreck shit. No markers makes it automatically better than air RB.

There's also this thing called EC

why play wt gf when even light tanks in wot don't die in one hit and if you die to several hits in a heavier tank it means your killer is hilariously op and will be nerfed soon

Anime

>wot
>heavies get 2k health
>little light gets sub 1k
>gets hit harder
>can never pen the big heavies
>literally a scout and that's it

Sim EC is often boring and RB EC is rarely on.

I think Sim EC is perfectly fine, maybe it's your BR

Also Sim EC has massive gains

and RB anything with markers is cancer and unfun shit

but you get money for the damage that your team deals if you spot for them

just chill out in the bushes, isn't it what the real light tanks did back then in the war :3

Wow, money in a game where you get horribly shit gains to begin with. Pray to god you get the winning team because otherside you're automatically placed in the lower 50 percentile for reward.

You have to be pure shit to not be good in WT and to not get good rewards. You can literally sit in the open in a bunker tank and get max reward.

If I wanted an arcade game I would.

>just chill out in the bushes, isn't it what the real light tanks did back then in the war :3


No, you didn't use tanks to spot tanks in real life. Instead you used a tiny human that could easily blend and spot just as easy with binocs rather than a big metal box that sticks out like a dick in a vagina.

>Yak-9 outruns my twin-engine fighter in level flight
Yeah okay

Don't. Play. Multi-engine planes. You're only asking for pain.

Yeah it's fine when you get a full game but good luck with that.

What about multi-jet engines?

Iplay with half teams and it's fine

It's less bad for jets, but single engines are still preferable.

but tigercat is the fastest prop plane, ain't she?

>what is the tu-4

il-28 is literally the only jet worth grinding for

Not by a longshot. Play the twinstang if you want to be fast.

okay helmet

>playing slavs

>il-28 is literally the only jet worth grinding for
>what is the narwhal

oh, that's not nice
i like cats more than ponies

Working on the KI-102. What am I in for?

Negative velocity spark cannon and no cockpit.

Why is the Pe-8 allowed to be so OP? Its rear turret must be the deadliest 20mm cannon in the entire game.

Do no cockpit planes just go into the virtual cockpit for Sim or can they just not go in at all?

Virtual cockpit.

Sim battles is real cockpit only

If you have a real cockpit you can't use virtual, but if you don't you have to.

bombers simply die

How do people bomb in Sim without bomb view?

>Its two rear 12.7mm Berezins, 20mm tail turret and 20mm ball roof turret must be the deadliest guns in the entire game.
ftfy

Just stop posting, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

You pretty much are a bastardized frontline bomber

does this game have those german vertical guns (schrage musik) which could shot down bombers from below?

Yes, on the Do 217 N-2 and Ki-45 tei

i wonder how usable those are in a game with target markers and not at night

fix the game

If you meant the schräge musik cannons, not particularly, since you can't sneak up on bombers with their 360 degree meme vision in all modes. You can still out-fucking-skill someone who tries to turn on the horizontal against you, though.

Shid, dude, it's not the players online counter.

Shadowplay, enabled it for DS3 haven't bothered disabling it yet.

ded

this is what happens when mods delete quality gayposting

when

What happend to all FW's that are not Anton? Are they just shit now? Can't fly 109 overheats too fast.

Bomber destroyer.

You will fuck B-25 and Pe-8s up the arse.

Can also tangle with fighters for short periods, fast too.

i miss /cbg/ way more

wargame fightnight with /wtg/ aspies when?

Eh. that's what happens when you misread shit at 5AM.

I needed a place to blog about my forgotten DOS strategy games though.

Maybe I'll do it here :^)

As fun as that game can be,
holy shit does it drag on sometimes.

Did they buff bomber armor again?
Nailed a B-17 full of 30 mm HVAP from the side and I didn't even crit him.

Then I unleashed 4 20mms on a Dornier from the rear for a full 2 seconds and I just hit his gear leg...

Only noticed this today.

how does /gsg/ react to those games?

For sure, especially all the little bits that aren't automated, like loading infantry back onto a vehicle after they get shot at.

Never bothered to post there.

What's the recommended order of Hs129 upgrades?

What you need is autistic levels of patience to be really good in this game, be it side climbing or camping in a bush on the border of the map.

Map knowledge and patience is ALL you need to be good at tanks.

For planes you can just pick a boom n zoomer, side climb until you're higher than the enemy and then boom until you catch someone off guard.

For planes, you just need patience and learn how to aim.

>For sure, especially all the little bits that aren't automated, like loading infantry back onto a vehicle after they get shot at.
Well that.
And sitting through 30 minutes of reaction fire every time the AI moves an inch.

Shed camo when?

>arcade+ player

Ships will be Gaijins worse mistake if they add them in a combined forces manner. Can you imagine getting a 16in HE shell to the hull of your tank from 4km away, game over.

You will never nuke anything with some fuck huge guns. Ever.
