Should have bumped him when he's taking his shot. Do it every shot until he dies.

GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I got my Mig-15 and it just feels like any time I need it to do anything it's a brick. If anyone slightly turns I can hardly move my guns an inch to adjust. What the fuck.

bis or normal?
The bis is the actual UFO

Yeah, it sucks ass until you get new boosters. Have fun being unable to get guns on target when going at any decent speed.

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH WHY DO I LOSE CONTROL WHEN I TRY TO PULL 10G WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

make a thread about it on the forum and i am sure blackouts will be removed

normie one
It's not a problem with speed, it's just awful compression I guess. Does this get better with upgrades?

>Expects a new plane to perform well

keep of play to unlock performance)))) pls buy golden eagles))) it of helps!!)))))))))))))))

or with new sale! buy premium! cheap!)) or buy german variant)))

>Battles in Realistic and Simulator battles require better accuracy, aiming and precision. The players in these modes hardly ever hit their allies unintentionally. That’s why we decided to turn off friendly fire damage from guns, tank mounted rockets and missiles and MGs. Damage from friendly aircraft rockets, bombs and artillery is still possible.

FRIENDLY FIRE OFF

Come on, man. After late Tier 3, Germans are completely handheld while other Nations literally have to pay for premiums to be competitive.

The "Destroy enemy observation aircraft" objective is impossible to complete if my team fails the "Protect allied observation aircraft" objective

Yeah you're a bit late.
They're also adding minimap markers for friendly tanks in SB.

How dare handheld naziboos with their nerfed cannons that require them to fly into the effective range of SPAA have anything that can kill ground targets?

>bombs in ground battles

Air RB is purely team deathmatch.

It clearly isn't when bombers can end games by fulfilling the "Destroy enemy airfield" objective which you whine incessantly about

Don't act like Mk 103s are useless, they can still kill quite easily. Plus the Do 217s are one of the best bombers to use in Ground Forces.

>implying bombs aren't hilarious underpowered vs tanks

Is pic related a good way to go for a golden wager?

no

>jagdtiger

insta uptier, i did 16 victories in 6.7

>Crew slots
Sheesh, Ming

Anyways, the 88 Flak truck counters T-34 spam. Maining tier 2 T-34s and one IL-2M for golden wager is much riskier now. Especially by yourself.

85% W/R across like 600 AB battles, most of them solo.

If you actually focus, you can do commander wagers like this easy.

How about this for wagers?
I've noticed the t-34-85 spam absolutely kick my ass in my Shermans and anything British, would 5.7 be too high tier in the chance I see Tiger II(H)s?
Should I keep it at 5.3?

They have no idea how to make it better, but they have to do something so as not to get fired, so they implement "features" nobody asks for. They can remove it a week later and say "I tried, but the toxic community)))))))))))))))))" and keep getting paychecks.

that shoves you into maximum uptiers vs KTs
remove PT-76 and T-V

are there any other one time vehicles that could be in the game?

>tfw you have a bunch of shit already (tier 4 plane talis too) through the many sales years past

I guess I'm interested in the Hudson and maybe tier one meme slav tank? Maybe the RAM tank. Oh I don't have the PzlllN. So maybe that too. I don't know...

should i buy the he219?
i already have the Horten so i don't think i want to grind any other German planes

if you enjoy big, heavy planes with overwhelming firepower, you'll like this one too.

buy the ki87 pack during the sale

If you always liked the He219 as a unique but historical Heavy Fighter then I would say yeah.

even though in most cases the 219 is just for grinding via ground pounding, which is lame

>THIS IS WHAT SLAVS ACTUALLY BELIEVE

I figured out how to grind out golden wagers
Grab a friend
5.7 russia/germany
The Americans and brits just can NOT stand up to it.

this sale is making me think about spending money on a joystick to play il2

is the t20 any gud?

>mfw this is the third time I'm going to shekel up and buy a year of premium

I've seen it do well.
Imagine a T-44 with slightly less bounce chances and a worse gun.
And worse mobility.
At a lower br

When everyone is going to buy MEME-vehicles/Captured premiums, I can see the appeal,

46/bos/clod/bom?

should i buy eagles now or wait until later

dont do it at all fag

With my budget being only 2000GE, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on what to get.

US:
P-61A (looks fun)
M4A5 RAM (Heard is good and looks fun)

Germ:
PzlllN (Could be fun/ always miss out on getting it)

Pzbfw IV (Not need, but looks cool/fun)
KV1b756 (Same as the Pzbfw)

USSR:
Su-57 (Meme)
T-lll (Meme + decal?) Does it get a Hammer and Sickle decal?
T-126 (Meme)

Brits:
Hudson (Looks to be fun)

Japs:
Ha!

Pzbfw IV seems like a good value

Good cannon with high RoF and basically the Pz IV H at a slighty lower BR

Was thinking of copping

fucking dope
>From 14:00 GMT November 4th until 08:00 GMT November 7th
oops, can't use the eagles in the sale (((

Why grind for the Pz IV J when it doesn't get the bonus RP?

Oh wow

>whats a talisman

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>gaijin is this desperate for money

But then I have to grind the two Pz's before it and that would cost GE to free research...the cost of which is probably around 800 GE?

Doesn't make much sense desu sounds like you don't really know what you are talking about

Any other opinions?

yeah, you should seriously consider drinking a whole lot of bleach and throwing yourself down a cliff of spreading such nonsense

Hhahahah oh wow

Just stop, it's pathetic of you to keep trying to save face

this game is real ass

What can be given to Krauts and potentially Bongs to make the teams 100% fair and even in speed? Specifically to compete with M18s and T-34s. Because Gaijin certainly has no intentions of designing maps properly to support primarily heavy/slow based teams.

kys naziboo
>pic related

but actually, an armored car line for tier2-3. The Panther II is honestly already good enough to counter the late tier 4 stuff, and they have the Leo.

should i buy a talisman for the tiger II to grind tier V instead of a premium?
it's not as cool but it's cheaper and probably a better vehicle than all my options too

>Armored car line

I guess this is the only thing that can be given to them. Is it the same for bongs? I know they tend to suffer from slow tanks also. Glad you mentioned tier 2-3, I forgot to specify that. The Panther 2 seems to be perfect for the most part. Would just be nice to have something that hits a bit higher than its own tier while maintaining light armor and speed for both those teams.

Oh.
