Why can I never face Axis teams like this when I play Allied jets?

The spitfire just spits it out.

>Only reward vehicle that isn't premium
>Doesn't even come with the modules
I'm still gonna do it.

Why is it that every time I hear someone say clap planes are under tiered they either don't have more than a dozen matches in them or negative KDR.

On that note why is it that people who say clap tanks are good don't have any in the top 25?

Also on that note why are the only clap tanks/planes that I see in someones top 25 premium?

>tfw i had someone tell me the bulldog's sabot pops tanks and the 105 easy 8 is a great tank at 4.3

Everyone seems to be working on old information.

>P-47N is better than the ta 152 H in every single way under 15km
>1.0 BR lower
>P-51D-30 is better than the D-13 in every single way under 10km
>1.0 BR lower
Nah, they aren't undertiered. You're totally right.

post stats in them user )))

here you go
P-51D-30 is my 9th most flown fighter, not that many games in the P-47N though since I haven't really flown it

what's the easiest way to farm 2000 score in air rb? i suppose you should play a bomber or ground pounding thunderbolt or something

Pretty much, yeah
Just strafing artillery and AA will net you fucktons of points, unless they've changed it with one of the "stability" updates

Tell me about the P-38s. Which one of the earlier ones is the best?

all of them

Why is the premium one higher BR than the first though?

because it's a P-38G 0.3 br lower))

P-43 is premium?

IL-2 or IL-10 and farm soft targets. Bombing useless bridges on chink maps brings a lot of points, sinking landing crafts on krymsk is also worth a ton.

Yeah.
)))

thank you based Gaijin, praised be

Japan did nothing wrong

Why do they do this? "oh you grinded for a month straight for this shit.. here! have a NON premium vehicle for your efforts!"
I'm still pissed that the Type-62 isn't premium, but I guess they couldn't bear to have something that even came close to the Ru 251 in performance be free

Gaijin is retarded, simple as that.
If it can't be "fixed" by further compressing BRs it wont be "fixed" at all.

holy fuck hispano 20mm's fucking suck

bongs players, why do you fly bong planes when all you ever get is sparks?

I tried the Typhoon and it's still pretty good at headons tbqh.

>hispano 20mm's fucking suck
is this ancient teeb meme making a comeback?

Play Spitfires after switching from Fw's. it's stupid the amount of kills I would've gotten had I been in any other plane

>this dumb nigger thinks hispano's are good
lol everyone laugh at this stupid fuck

if only Spitfires were able to get much closer to their target than Fws can. oh wait
get good Nigel you daft cunt

>Fw's are faster than Spitfires
>Bf-109's are faster than spitfires
>every other plane is faster than a spitfire aside from Zero's
lol you really are a delusional moron

the previous unique decals were pretty good, much better than the event ones imo, badass octopus and torpedo crow, vagina tiger was good too

>the absolute state of the eternal teeb
sad

I shot down a bunch of player planes in air RB at rank 4 and the progress bar for the SUMMER thing still shows 0. What's going on?

>black an ammo rack
>no detonation
>fire at same black ammo rack
>no detonation
>Tiger P turns around and kills me
>join another match
>black another ammo rack on a Tiger 2 H
>no detonation
>try again
>black another
>no detonation
>tiger turns around and one shots me through my UFP
>tiger 2's suck guiseeeee

You're not funny repeating the same buzzword over and over again. It's not going to catch on friend

you can unfold the achievement progress and hover the pointer over the tasks to see precisely what you did

I did that, no progress on any of the tasks. Then I noticed it's one achievement per 2 days, not per 1 days, so I got the 1st one yesterday and the one that wasn't working actually starts tomorrow. Fuck me.

Imagine if the Pak 43 had sabot.

Why is the Ilyushin line so shit?

>wanting sabot when you have APHE
how about no, I'd rather not have to pick at the enemy with a fucking 75mm needle, thanks
I've played the Comet with APDS and that was bad enough to make me not want to go below my CentMk3

It apparently updates every hour according to the page, I have progress on both tasks.

>numbers built: 36.183
>aircraft lost: 10.762

If you think that's bad:
>T-34 total wartime production: 57,224
>T-34 total wartime losses: 44,900

Best tank of the war!

what I mean is you can only earn one of each marks once every two days. I got my 1st plane mark yesterday, but the tasks for the 2nd one don't start until tomorrow

Revenge for when it was fun back when there was one il2. The 41 seems to be the best one of the line.

Buy goldy birds)))

what the fuck man, i was ten days into nofap and you show me this

fuck you

>falling for this shit

That's hot

It still hurts, guys. This was the most cruel joke Gaijin has ever played on us.

>get sparks inna spitfire
>Yak-9 doesn't die
>enemy yak-9 dives on me from space and one shots me
fun fun fun!

Outtunerd and evaded a yak 3p from his airfield to mine with no cannon ammo in a B7A2

>dive with the last player, a P-47 to the deck
>he dives to the ground as I'm 1.5km of him and gaining

tell me about it
>1600x900
lol

In 3 years it can be yours for 5 million rp

Check out this le epic one in a million shot, guys ))))))spoiler])))))))))))[/spoiler]

out fucking skilled

who here /gay/?

>teammate calls for backup with an enemy on his tail
>engage and force the enemy into a maneuver
>teammate says thank you and then leaves me to die without any visible damage on his aircraft
I wish I teamkilled him instead

axis teams....

whats the TS server?

>109s are faster than spitfires
t. griffin shitfire
no seriously
are you retarded?
low tier maybe faster in a dive but low tier 109s arent worth mentioning anyway because everybody plays like shit

the 109 k4 cannot even compare to the shitfires it gets paired against

>griffon spits come at 5.7
>L I T E R A L L Y spitfire before is outpaced by every other plane
no seriously
are you retarded?
high tier maybe faster in a dive but low tier spitfires aren't worth mentioning anyway because everybody players like shit

the mk.24 cannot even compare to the Fw's and Ta's it gets paired against

You are no better with that kdr

>get 2 kills stolen by aircraft on the reload
>take out all enemy aircraft
>spawn make 2 kills and get wyverned
>spawn again get 2 kills and get su-6'ed

explain to me how i can stay alive 2v7 with the enemy team spawncamping and having air support.
Would it make you happy that i took out 7 guys before my first panther on my own, no help, before it was lost?
And btw, show me a recent game of you in 5.7 germans where you did better

ts is ded

>No post in the last thread pointing to this one
>No link in the OP pointing to the past thread
You incompetent asshole, furthermore, F-86F-40 when?

...

Only after I get my XF15C

except for the fact that even with the TAs airspawn and the fws airfield spawn spits can get to 9k alt where the FW cannot compete and the TAs still can't turn with them, not to mention that both planes will be at 6,5k when the spits hit 9k.

Nigga you a cunt. literally the only thing spits cant do is dive as fast except when oh wait, say both fw 190 and spit are at 10k alt the spit somehow outdives the 190 in a straight vertical before they hit the denser air

A shamefully weak post that anyone would overlook

I WANT THE XP-72

Dead as fuck

Is this becoming the new when shitpost?

At least post something we actually need and is not a fucking copypaste plane with minute differences.

Yes user, it's incredibly fucking hard to read the handful of new posts that are made in this ded general

pls no bully

gaijin nuked when

Something we definitely don't need is some shitty bomber

>Something we actually need
>Japan has one (1) BR 9 jet

>minute differences
>all prior F-86 were upgraded to the standard set by the F-40

>Type 65
>Ki-94

Both of these "reward vehicles" seem really lame

P43 is pretty lame to, I'm just going to pick up the car and enough air points for the tit wolf if it gets unlocked

why the FUCK do I always die to 1 in a million shots but never actually pull them off because RNG decides to drag the shell away

Will it ever be added?

German ww2 Jets flying agianst Korean war Jets.


not even a German, but why is Germany so great?

>quit 5.7 because fed up getting memed by Centurions and T29/T34s
>make a 3.7 lineup
>get memed on by Jumbos instead
My favorite episode is when my shell fails to pen a Jumbo side armor.

Gaygeenie had the whole Apache game a while ago.

>more papershit
probably

Just back from watching Dunkirk and I know spoilers are fucked up now so don't read the pic if you haven't watched it yet.

My only complaint on that movie is how he sits behind the Heinkels and how the back gun sounds, way too beefy.

Weren't some 111's equipped with MG FF?

That scene at the end when the fire rises. Bravo Nolan

According to Nolan, yes

Aim for the bit just behind the tracks, you're almost guaranteed a pen, likely a kill too
plus, you can pen that shit even if the Jumbo is angling slightly

consider the following

when?

Was trying to bomb in Realistic battles.
Bombs don't drop. Says
BMB (CLDS)
what the fuck is this shit?
