Also, i stopped researching Pe3s because i remembered i have the gift Tu2. While it carries less bombs it has two frontal firing 20mm cannons, good for bomber hunting using the fact i spawn at their altitude ^^


It's the Yer you need. Me and gigs flattened bases instantly yesterday with the B17 Yer combo. >:D

I know, but i think i am gonna like the Do217E1 more. 4000kg bomb loadout, it's as agile as the heavy fighter version, plus you have a frontal firing cannon >:D

I tried both on test flight so far

Are you in a bomber(high altitude spawn) or an attacker(fighter spawn, lower altitude)

Either way the only thing you can do is going towards their spawn point. Anything else is irrelevant because the bomber spawn points are not that high, and fighters can climb to you.
Which plane are you using?

Also in 1:30h from now i can probably pew, we can all be in ts and actually have a 4 men squad :D

If you use a dive bomber (which spawns at bomber spawn) I would climb quite a bit in a direction not directly pointing towards the enemy spawn. Get your altitude and let the bombers get swarmed by enemy fighters. Then choose a direction, where the least enemy fighters are and sneak through for pillboxes and similar stuff.

Also, being in formation with other bombers helps a lot, multiple turrets firing will shred any enemy coming close. Bombing moving targets takes some practice, especially at high altitude. The moving targets give better rewards when solo bombing, but me and Pasta managed to do full base/airfield whipes before and that gives awesome rewards too.

Pillboxes are also yummy targets since they don't move.

Guys, you have no idea how many players don't know about my tu-2 having cannons on front >:D

I just killed 8 fighters in this round, plus some bombers, all in the same way.

I wait for them to climb, then i turn and go head on with them >:D

Did a few test drives with StuG and Jagdpanther premium that has 29 reverse speed lel. I really like the tank handling in this game, you can't do retarded movements like in WoT by driving back and forward real fast, you actually need to wait for gear shift to change, love it. Also the tanks feel heavier, they slide when going through a corner too fast and keep on sliding when you hit the brakes hard. Remember those heavies on El Halluf being able to stop nearly instantly going down hill causing you to miss your shots, well it annoys the hell out of me.

Also on all YouTube video i saw the grass disappearing 5m in-front of the tank, on my pc it goes on into eternity, so the level look nice enough with everything maxed out have 40-45 fps which is 15 less while flying a plane.

Simulator battles doesn't have in-tank view yet nor manual gear shifting. >:D

My body is ready for the Open Beta test... and im pretty sure im going for either the Panther or Jagdpanther, they have decent mobility and look awesome.

Also dat barrel explosion on this video at 10min mark, wtf.

First impression from last night (talking about being impatient :P ) GF run - ouch, I cant into tanks. :deadseal:

Pz I and T-26 against Pz IV H, Pz III J with ocassional KV-2, Tiger, King Tiger and IS is a pain.
First thing I unlocked were "premium" rounds on T-26, but even those take 5-10 shots on things you can actually penetrate (SU76 for example), often giving punny rewards (+1 exp for destroying someone, dafuq?).
Going with "WoT logic", I aimed for first wheel/tracks to detrack them and help the team, but even that is not working like in WoT.

I really hope they sort out the MM before Opet Beta and make battles a bit more balanced and fun.
Also, making GF battles not time-limited would help A LOT, since 8 PM deadline is too early during week days for pretty much anyone out of high-school.

If anyone is up for low tier tooning (even as death from above), dont hesitate to invite.

Btw, thanks Pastaiolo and Bowser for letting me get free kills last night.

You guys are da best <3

Oh wow, I bought the Do217 bomber, it can actually divebomb with 100% accuracy. This thing is amazing.
