It's pretty sad that the only usable aircraft in French tier IV are actually american

>fed up with losing my sanity trying to play 7.0 tanks

>quality of life slowly improves

Oh and its minimum fuel load is 34 minutes thanks to having 2 engines, so it's fat as shit no matter what. It looks like a normal light fighter but it's actually a fatass heavy.

Low tier is just more fun in general.

>pastanigger tank isn't penetrated from the front with the M3 Lee's 75mm

>see "picklerick" in battle
hahaha xDDD

>tfw no E-100

Is the Sherman II worth it?

reminder!

The Fuck that Zero do?

How do I fight cl13s in a semi stock f2? I can fight migs fine
but when it comes to these fucker nothing I do seems to work

You can't, the Cl-13 is better at everything because other countries have to get the best American equipment.

You're fighting a better version of yourself, you will never stand a chance in a 1v1. So don't go looking for fights with them, instead catch them when they're not paying attention to you. Like all support fighters (and stock planes are basically support fighters) are forced to do.

it's just like every other sherman which means you should be thankful you don't have to get that fat piece of shit and it's 6 gorillion retarded siblings just to advance

I got fucked out of it too

Why is the P-63's 37 mm cannon so shit? I'm not asking for it to have better velocity or damage or anything I just want it to be fucking consistent. This thing sparkles like nothing else

I never played any other Sherman and I'm going down the British tree line

Powerful rivets )))))

>gajin releases tier 6 planes
>america gets f4 phantom for 2 million silver lions
>germany gets super sekrit f4 phantom+++ thats all around better for 990000 sl
>mfw this will probably happen

>super sekrit

Germany actually did modify their F-4s to fire AMRAAMs late in their life.

Soviet will get Mig 19 and America will get the Super Sabre and it'll stay like that for a while

ignore it, you don't need it to get the firefly and the subsequent feeling of disappointment and inferiority to every other vehicle you could be using and it cost as much as the achilles
you're good to go with the 2 cromwells, some planes and something from the valentine line to fill your lineup until you can start researching rank 3

>a CL-13 and a MiG-17 engaged me in a turnfight
>I was in the F9F-8
>the MiG tried it again the next match
>and the next match
>lots of angry slav runes
I kept seeing this guy and it took him 5 matches until he realized his mistake. When he tried speeding away I was able to get a potshot off at him before he got out of range and I hit his engine. Haven't seen him since.

As long as those two are in their own BR where they never fight anything besides each other it'll be cool but of course they'll get downtiered all the way to fight 8.0s regularly

Is it just me or does the first Seafire suck

Gaijin hates navy fighters

Only Japan is allowed to have good navy planes.

Only if they cost 30k to repair as revenge for Tsushima

is it me or does this game suck

Why are jet BRs still such a shitshow?

>Narval
>kill 2-4 GERMANS in head-ons every battle

Because the people in charge of balancing BRs don't even play the game and instead rely on meaningless statistics that aren't representative ot the planes' actual performance.

>things that never happened

Okay cause currently I have the Churchill M3 unlocked and using it.

Shitaly has it worse because it outplayed spitniggers.
>the hunter is cheaper to repair than the late G55 S1 and the G56

Anyone got the armed Vautour yet

Is it as memey as it sounds?

>jets

I'm tired of dealing with bushniggers. Should I just become a bushnigger myself?

...

I remember the American Naval planes fondly

I got 500 eagles from gaijin and I only have 130k silver lions left. Should I just buy some lions for myself or save them on something else?

Never, NEVER, spend shekels on lions. Farming lions is easy, buying them is stupid.

Why is this? I've found it to be true except for like 2 american naval planes.

I just love how allied 4.0 only stand a chance against axis if and only if the axis team is full of retards. There is literally nothing an allied team can do to counter a competent team of G.55s and 109F-4/G-2s.

I get that but what else would I buy? The tier I British premium tank? I'm not giving them more money so this 500 just needs to go somewhere and preferably to something that'll make me enjoy the game more.

Why was CAS nerfe again?

>Only Japan is allowed to have good navy planes.
>F3F

>F6F
>F8F

>F9F-8
>not good
Literally get good.

Just played a 8.0-9.0 air rb game and we only lost 2 planes on our side
Probably the best team I've ever had

=TWINK=

>fire a little 5 round tap to see if I need to change my aim
>pilot snipe the guy

because the germans bitched loud enough and now they have the best CAS planes in the game again

There is literally nothing an allied team can do to counter a competent team of G.55s and 109F-4/G-2s.

> I can only turnfight the post

>fire the shortest burst of 7.7 to see if I can get an assist out of that 99% dead enemy
>get the full kill

>turn fighting
>even though we're pulling identical maneuvers I lose control and the other guy finishes his turn and kills me

Newb question here, should I get my repair Rank up to match my tier first or should I work on getting Weapon Reloading for my tanks?

>what is F4U-1d
>what is P-38J
>what is P-63A-5/C-10
>what is P-61C
>what is P-47D-25
>what is Typhoon Mk Ib/l
>what is Spit F. 9
>what is Spit Mk Vc
>what is P-51D-30s and P-47Ns when they get downtiered
If you seriously, actually believe this you should unironically uninstall and preferably kill yourself

Weapon reloading, it gets pretty significant later on. If you're hit and need to repair, you're more than likely already fucked.

if plane is too good then the best way to balance is to not let people play the game :^)
is all capitalist bourgeoisie spoiled amerikanski

>implying you can energy fight the nation of dedicated energy fighters

FUN AND ENGAGING

Don't turn fight a plane that can turn better than you, retard.

What should i spend my 500 golden gaijinbucks on?

>remove camos
>allow this shit

FUCK AN*ME AND FUCK A*IAN PEOPLE

>tanks

)))))

Premium account if there's anything you want to grind
Crew XP
There's really not that much you can do with just 500. At least back in the day you could get 5 days of premium out of that, but then one day Gaijew decided that 100 bucks for 24 hours was too cheap.

weeb genocide NOW

so I should try to outdive him, in my 109, that rips that 750 stock

ok =SPIT= *Spitfireace98

>>remove camos
?

you should try playing arcade, or tanks.

the firefly is supposed to be a fighter?

no. stay away from the FAA tree

>kill two different B-18s engines
>they both start plummeting towards the ground
>”crash”
What’s even the point of playing interceptors if you don’t get credit for any of your kills?

the sea fury is pretty good though

Not even remotely as good as it should be.

F9F-2 is better than F9F-8.

>worse acceleration
>worse climb
>worse top speed
>worse energy retention
>worse rollrate
Do you know what "better" means, user?

What's the hex value for the decorations?

>F9F-2
>better than the F9F-8
No its not. Its slower than the F2H. The only good thing about it is bombs.

You have everything but top speed backwards, shitter.

>just want to lawn mow
>always swarmed by fags

Are you actually retarded?

>notice some guy on my team getting like 15 kills with a P-47 in a match
>check his card, dude likes his P-47s
>has like ~80 deaths and literally over 1000 kills with the Hitlerbolt
>mfw
I mean, this was Arkaden aka the actually fun mode but still. Shieet.

No but I've flown both a lot. Consistently do better with the -2 every time.

Your experience is not relevant. The 8 objectively performs better than the 2.

I've always thought it was designed to be some kind of shitty attacker but I see that it has an airfield spawn and is classified as a fighter
what's even the purpose of that second crewman?
count all that shit on your tail you have no hope of escaping from?

I literally cannot play the previous naval jets except in tank rb. Being out everything by red team fighters has lost its thrill.

it is though, it's at the 9.5 lbs which is the highest the Sea Fury FB. 11 was specified to go. the amazing sea fury that everyone thinks of is the F.10, which could run 12 lbs. even then if the F.10 was added it'd likely be 6.7, meaning it'd face jets constantly and would only be good in downtiers. I'd much rather have the FB.11 and a separate F.X than a mystical FB.11 on 12 lbs.

Should I buy the Dora pack to grind german jets

Some people have unique kinds of autism, grinding alt accounts in das arkaden I found guys with literally thousands of matches in near reserve battle ratings.

please respond
