First

What Yank planes are you flying? Their main advantage is in pure speed in a dive and energy retention.

You probably aren't used to flight models. Personally I hate tracer belts because whenever i shoot an enemy they start autism spazzing around, so try using stealth belts to prevent this.

i hate gajin as much a i love them

Ebin :DDDDDD

ravioli when

>high altitude interceptor

Why can't I hear the tank and plane engines sounds unless I'm in binocular/cockpit mode? I have the same problem with plane damage sounds. What do?

When will Gaijin get a community manager that doesn't type in broken English?

wat u talk about?

is the yak 2 also rank 1 like the greyhound?

GAIJIN

yes

Yeah, BR 2.7 though.

>x5 for the first victory is over
theres nothing you can do about it

>barely enough ammo to take down one bomber

Need to have a daily x2 for your first victory

desu I'm happier that it is so I don't have to waste time on it

>christmas soon
oh boy, cant wait for christmas chronicles

w-wish me luck guys

Wait, what? Is this new or am I?
Yes, I know I am the goodest of goys. No, I could not have talismanned the IS-2 since I don't have it.

Been in the game forever

add another SOlocaust victim to the pile

Jungle is literally the second ground forces map to be added to the game

How does one defeat a griffon spit with stock 152?

Fugin help.

I'm talking about the game mode. Granted I only just began playing tanks again very recently, but I've never seen that particular game mode before. When was it added?

It's also the second worst map for ground forces

You can't unless he's retarded and gives you an energy advantage.

Early 2015

>IS-6 acquired
time to bend over is now)))))))))))))))))

>two separate russian tanks absorb my shells with their viewport
I thought russian bias was a myth

>forgot all about the vehicle give away
>really want that car
>need to dowload patch and get the wins before bed
>already 23:30
fuuuuuuuuuck

>People saying that SO8000 needs to go down in BR

What.

put a finn in the binn

I hope you like my hull down Conqueror

It's dogshit tbqh

You literally can't.

>It’s a J7W wins by hiding in space at 6000m episode

weebs banned WHEN?

What, really? Also the one with multiple successive cap points?

If u side climb even a little nothing outguns/outruns it.

>6km
>space

>sideclimbing

Reddit tactic baka tbqfh senpai

>Play germans
>Whole team dives for so8000s
>Theres 2 spits on enemy team who clean up the low and slow Fw190s

don't be harsh on him, he hasn't seen professional spaceclimbers

6km is space when your P-51H is lawmowing

You probably main burgers, need more handhelding?

...

>everyone except for another guy and myself go groundpounding
>only 2 germans (Bf109 and a D13) climb
>die to one of them
funny enough they were the only two remaining when we had most of our team left and we lost

the thing also retains energy like fucking shit

Actually I main Russia because their planes have a playstile that benefits my high amounts of skill greatly.

>three separate M18s get the drop on me, and then proceed to shoot me in the turret, the only part of this tank that isn't basically a guaranteed OHK
lolwhy
The last one must have shot me at least 6 times, before he just gave up and fucked off.

I cant aim the MG 151 for shit, send help.

>Line up perfect shot
>Fire
>Shells dissapears from the air because I'm killed a milisecond after I fired
E SPORTS READY
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hey lads, anyone use Thrustmaster pedals? I want to configure them for use with SB but they're all fucky right now, pulling way off to one side and ultra sensitive. Different settings seem to have no effect so I'm really struggling right now. Anyone have a config file I could use?

>three separate J7W2s get the drop on me and then proceed to shoot me in the central gear leg, the only part of this plane that isn’t basically guaranteed OHK

lol why
The last one must have shot me at least 60 times, before he just gave up and Jed out.

The Narval is so fucking awful that even getting just one kill feels like a huge success.

>Lead a shit ton and fire a stream of bullets
>Bullets go infront of the enemy and he flies straight the the stream
>Not a single hit

How?

6km alt is hardly hiding. Get gud.

to be fair hitting turret face is usually your best bet against any slav tank that isn't a t34

the smoke and tracer keep showing behind hills and other objects for whatever reason

6km is hiding like a little bitch against Yak-3P

...

Why is every tank battle a defeat this week

THE FACEBOOK STILL DOESN'T WORK AND I STILL CAN'T DO THE FUCKING QUIZ

GOD DAMN IT GAIJIN I WANT MY BOOSTERS

How many more m8s can we get

Default MG 151 belt is so dogshit it hurts.

How do I penetrate J7W?

It has fuckhueg armor plate on the front and soaked up 3 direct hits from ZSU-37

What? Are you sure you're not just shit at aiming in general? MG151s are pretty much the easiest guns to use if you ask me. What exactly troubles you?
Ah, yes, there is that.

I think the worst default belts are the Jap ones that are mostly FI-T, or MG/FF default belts. Honestly default belts being as shitty as they are on most planes is artificial difficulty designed to make you grind out belt modifications.

For one, don't use 37mm AAA. It's useless. Russian AA is mostly pretty bad, too.

>Be Australian
>Will NEVER get to experience this because the lowest ping I can get is 150
>Still no Australian server

Playing tier 4 nazi or pasta right now is amazing, it's an early christmas every game

>J7W should be immune to shells that can destroy a super heavy tank

Ok poopydude

Swedish tanks WHEN?

It's not that it should be, it's that 37mm AA is useless. I have shot planes right in the engine/cockpit with the ZSU's HE shells and only gotten hits. When it comes to AA, you are meant to use whatever has the highest volume of fire to make up for Gaijin's weird damage models.

He’a not alone, I’ve had that plane soak up bursts from my Wirbelwind and M19 too.

>queue for a match
>boulougne sur mer
>"no"

>Italian t4 premium is a death machine fighter
>french t4 premium is a flying whale

J7w can shoot down hunter f1 1v1 2:1 has no place at 6.0 terrible to fight against even in jets cannons that crush any armor and turn planes to confetti

Never even flew

It will happen sooner or later you will see

So many shitters in D-13's right now.

t. butthurt baguette

Im a butthurt german, butthurt by all D-13s diving for the first target and losing the match instantly.

would point out that one killed my maus yesterday

didn’t even hit

Jesus Christ that thing must have an INSANE bombload too

>flying large heavy fighter, tough and well built
>fuselage barely brushes by a tree branch
>instant violent explosive disassembly of airplane, every single part goes flying everywhere

trees are made of diamonds or what?

I can’t even hit them in my P-51H even if you’re directly on their tail they just wiggle around and dodge all your shots before one shot

How about your tail exploding like it was made from glass and gunpowder from a single stay Yak hit.

fuck off sven

powerful tank busting bombload and cannons

Unbeatable speed

incredibly fast supermaneuverability

unbreakable armor

6.0

and people say this game is Russian bias

Should have entered the war for Axis, loser.

Then you weren't around when the first GF datamine happened.

How do you kill a thunderbolt in a A6M3? Serious question. I can dodge him all day long, but when I see 5 of them pop up at 6k I just want to hold J

yes because that worked out great for everybody who tried it

Shut up weeb

Defend this

Can't win if you don't play

you say that but we are still getting the french

One blew up my T28 you can’t say it’s not a tankbuster

The thing is an A-10

yeah it's pretty sad when you compare what other nations get as tier 4 prem. even worse because it's made of cardboard even though it's a "heavy" fighter. MG 151s shred them with just a short burst. I killed 5 in one game in my G.56 and I still had more than half my ammo. I feel bad for people who dropped 30 coins on this.
Maybe it will be more playable when there's only one in the middle of a team of spitfires.
