You fly something with horrifically overpowered guns like the Tu-4 or IL-28 and just spray wildly for hits that will cripple or kill enemy planes.

>IL-28
>horrifically overpowered
lmao

I shot down a B-17 with my B-17 a couple of weeks ago during that "kill planes with turrets" task. Took half the match but was pretty fun

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"OP"

This.

A lot of the times my fiddies do nothing no matter how many hits land.

Just takes practice and tolerance.

Or you can just be a bitch and use OP planes.

B-17s are bretty fun handholding experiences, they're always one of the best ways to do gunner kills gunshipping Japanese paper mache planes that sit on your tail.

>it's a Sabre flies perfectly fine after ramming head-on into a MiG-15 episode

how do I divebomb in RB? Without the giant virtual bombsight I have nothing to go after

90° in cockpit view to stop the plane from spinning around

Look up the divebombing maneouver that Stukas used to do.

Dive at 60°.

Practice a lot.

Once you play ground battles enough with attackers or dive bombers you don't even need to do it properly, over time you'll be able to just do it by eye depending on your air speed.

you do it like it's supposed to be done, it's not like real pilots had a giant virtual bombsight youtu.be/lOz_i_2USkY

just dive on the enemy and try to remember when you dropped the bombs, because due to the different weight, the bombs will drop differently. Practice a lot then

They really need to do something about high tier compression.

Why the hell does the Ki-49 line have 4 planes that extend up into br 4.3. After the first, maybe the second, it should just skip down to the G5N1.

Really make you think...

i have 500 ge
what do i play?

boost the grind on some t6 shit

it surprises me Gojim haven't made a WW1 event yet. Seems like a no-brainer in these times. Maybe WW1 isn't to hot in Russia

because they didn't do anything in ww1 other than conspire and die

this I played War Thunder for 8 months before realising there was an option to turn on enemy messages. I missed out on so much bantz.

get killed helmet

more like there wasn't any famous tank/airplane action on the eastern front and maybe the soviet propaganda made WW1 seem unimportant and instead put much more attention on WW2.

Still, they made the age of sail event so a WW1 event wouldn't be that far out

ayy, the forum thread about M60 and M60A1 armor nerfs got lock

alright, the japs have a pretty slim heavy fighter tree, even lacking a tier 5 aircraft. Should they get a jet fighter/interceptor?
They adopted the F-104 in 1966 but maybe that's too modern

Remember to go out and make some friends today!

>tfw the only people who seem to ever take my PBJ down without a scratch are people who have a negative KDR and for some reason I just can't damage

I hope we get the Katsudori and the Ohka.

>three players collide on take off
>one of them is talking in Russian

every time

no fake shit please

>Ohka

enjoy getting max one or two at best kills per game

This game already has plenty of paper shit. A few more wouldn't hurt.

I want this paper shit

war thunder: paper planes edition when?

it's called wowp.

worldofwarplanes.com/warplanes/ussr/il-40p/

WHEN

You're right, whats the harm in it?

I assure you good sir, the Ohka was very real.

1-2 max kills, but all the bomber tears in the world....

>cant even make the fake shit not look like shit

war gaming is pure cancer

user what do you mean, that's just what the plane looks like

>implying if they add the Ohka that it wouldn't have a 60K Lion repair cost because Japan

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-40
Are you being retarded on purpose?

What to do in the cannon bearcat against Griffons? J out?

that one actually did exist though

is that the most ugly jet of all time?

He's right though, that is one ugly plane.

user, the okha was a primitive anti-ship missile. That said, you could probably hit a TU-4 with it

we need to go deeper
luft46.com/

And that will still be Meteor/Mig-9 food.

>sent from my difficult to utilize UFO-229

Split-S, get at least 2.5km of separation, immelman at high speed, head-on.

That's precisely how players would use it. The repair cost WOULD prolly be astronomical, but if Gaijew found it in their hearts to make it cheap, it could be a fun "plane".

>historical reference: in development

ohka should be added with ships since that's what it was built for

I'm kinda not into head-ons really, is there any other way? Because I'm kinda not gonna outclimb or outturn them

The R2Y2 V2 and V3 are literal fantasy and that didn't stop Gaijin

you are the reason they added that shit,

>I'm kinda not into head-ons really, is there any other way?

Yeah. Fly with a wingman.
>spaghetti falls onto your keyboard

That's the only other way.

>ships
>getting added
give up

But I want all fantasy, paper, and prototypes removed from the game

>russians removed from game

Go play DCS.

You ARE getting the Fw 189 tomorrow, right, user??

>ITT Gaijew shills going all out!

no, the day after tomorrow actually

>when that 1000lb bomb lands dead on that annoying kugel player and it only registers a little hit marker

yet people insist that bombs are too OP

git gid kid

>Gaijin removing planes
Literally never going to happen.

I can't even imagine the massive tsunami of naziboo tears that would hit the forums if one day Gaijin removed the Ho-229

they have done it plenty of times with free to play and premium tanks/planes.

>posted from my exterminatus russian cardboard

no they haven't
they've removed them from the tree, but all vehicles are still usable

I don't even fly slav jets lol

but removed from anyone new from getting them untill they see fit putting it back or holding some bullshit event where you jump through flaming hoops for a vehicle you will fly out once. :^)

>It's all a ruse i dont even like russia wew gotcha lad

there are no new jet players, though

you do realise there are other hidden vehicles that aren't tier 5 right?

ye, and I have most of them, but hiding paper jets would not change the game.

>hidden fucking planes

so that's where the TB-3 went

P-38s suck dick.

How do I get good?

>How do I get good?

Play russian

Only way is to fly with a buddy and Thach Weave till there's no tomorrow.

Otherwise, stick to bombers and ground targets.

E and G definitely don't suck dick, J sucks a bit of dick, and L sucks major dick.
Just don't let people dive on you.

>boom
>get outrolled

>get nicked by a single 7.62 round
>turn into a ball of burning confetti

the p-38 experience in a nutshell

Thanks, guess I'll just fly Mustangs and Bearcats to unlock the P-47N.

Thought I could spade the P-38s whilst doing so, but it's so damn aggravating.

Is leadership for tanks a meme?

10% of 5 doesn't seem like a lot.

I'm slowly learning that german fighters don't dog fight. They go head on with you then either panic and crash or zoom away.

>have nearly 7 KDR
>fight almost exclusively opponents with 5-10 KDR

hmmmm
