War Thunder (F2P Air/Ground combat MMO)

[GTPorsche]

Yeah. German teams weren't putting much effort in, but with the bulk of the battle being at low altitude, the Russians have a major advantage due to being better suited for low altitude combat. That and most of the German team just weren't flying their planes correctly.

One of the games I played ended up with no human players on the German team once the score hit 125,000/150,000 for us, so maybe that's an issue that needs to be addressed as well.

For the past ten matches, in both German and US teams, things have been awkward. Normally, I'll club with the team in the 109, but tonight (morning) I've yet to win, but with the P47 I've been carrying the teams all night... Except when I go against the Russians... Haven't won against them yet. They outrun, outdive, outturn, and outgun me...

See? Exactly what I mean..

 

[GTPorsche]

I lose more playing on the Russian side than any other nation I use. Must be bias as well.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Maybe you're not flying them right.

 

[Kitten]

i love playing Russian Side. love my P47, and Yak-9K. I've actually lost against US a couple of times, because the pilots climbed to 25k, and i was the only plane up there, and i died rather quickly, and they BnZ'd the my whole team who tried to climb to them.

Panzerjäger I and branch of open cabin TDs for Germany - http://warthunder.com/en/devblog/current/886

Edit: Was flying the Yak-1B earlier. With MEC, I was outclimbing a P-47 from takeoff, as it should since it's lighter than the Jug, and I was going from the runway on Berlin to over 10,000ft in about 3 minutes, which puts it over the 2839ft/min the statcard shows for it.

P-47s can apparently also spark 20mm cannon rounds. Must be Russian Bias.

 

[Swagger897]

It's not bias per say, but rather no one knows what to do.

Maybe you're not flying them right.

The 109? Probably... I've been consumed with P47 info, that anything I've learned as a kraut has now been forgotten almost.. All I know how to play is climb, and BnZ... I think I need to come a bit more top down on the Russians, and not for the mid pack as well, but the problem is when I get up to them they're falling down, pulling me in...

Kinda like a match I had last night in the P47 against Japan. I'd climb up to 18k feet where they can't turn fight that well, stall them out, and they'd want me to chase them... Well I chased them alright, burning to hell lol.

That's awesome to see the SPGs lined up... I'm gonna be having so much fun with them.

But yeah, what doesn't make sense about the whole Yak V P47, is that the Yak (3 I think) can do EVERYTHING, better than the P47. I don't see how it should be able to outdive them. Three of us tested this last night and were completely befuddled. I don't think everyone knows that, but for those who do i just sucks to play against them..

 

[GTPorsche]

Yeah, while I could initially outclimb that P-47D-27, once the P-47s get their momentum going, it's not easy to catch them unless they start turning. If you know what you're doing with MEC, you can get more performance out of the plane compared to the game's auto engine control.

I'm starting to get my confidence back in the air, but my shots still suck. I was annoyed that the 20mm were hitting my targets, but sparks were flying. In 130 of the 150 rounds fired, I scored one registered hit that didn't spark and since they were stock belts, they didn't do anything.

Devblog #3 for today.

The MBR-2 - http://warthunder.com/en/devblog/current/887

 

[Swagger897]

I can't wait to kill that

They also said there's not that long till the update... I'd guestimate around Wednesday or Thursday it drops

 

[GTPorsche]

Shoot the engine. It won't get far without it.

So, that's 19 devblogs on vehicles, with 2 devblogs for new maps. I've heard that there's 30 vehicles in the new update. The Do-355 and P-61 both had 2-3 variants so that's about 25 of the rumored 30 vehicles being added. I've seen texture files for the Hs-123 on the WT forum, so that's another possible vehicle.

I wonder what exactly is the reason though for the massive dump this update..
edit:

Did you count the TA-152C?

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

So they can continue drinking vodka they bought with the money from wallet warriors.

Was that announced with multiple variants as well? I must have overlooked that. Then there's about 3-4 vehicles we haven't seen confirmed then.

Wallet warriors, paypal patriots make this game go 'round... I'm going to be getting some golden eagles just to fully upgrade the dicker max and the nashorn as soon as I get them with the useless RP I have sitting around.

yeah the forums went crazy about it

What the ****... I've been trying for the past year almost to find out how to get an A26 and apparently an event went right under my nose... I don't even care about 1.57 now right now..

That event was awful. I tried it. It took 5 hours to get 8 of the 25 wins. I gave up and I was using Stronk Russian Tenk lineup. 24 hours to get 25 wins with 80%+ activity is terrible. Too much reliance on being put on teams that actually know how to play the game right.

wow... I never even bothered with that one then...

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

1.57 is up!

 

[Swagger897]

The Dicker Max is pretty good, might be more favored than the Nashorn... Problem with both of these tanks: There's no other close BR to use them with..

edit:
THE P47 IS NOW 3.0 LOOOOOOOOL

edit 2:
Spoke too soon... They've completely ****** over the engine, overheats now like the FW190 A1

 

[GTPorsche]

P-47 has been 3.0 in arcade.

Russian 20mm on Yak-1b, strong enough to break a Spitfire wing, but Spitfire still capable of flying. Spitfire blasts my Yak-1b wing clean off. Russian bias my ass...

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

I.. LOVE.. P-61. those cannons are powerful and close enough to each other to be effective sniper arrangement. I already got two kills at nearly half a mile away from target and that turret is a real grim reaper when gunner is awake.

What happened to the H8K?

 

[GTPorsche]

What happened to the H8K?

Gaijin said they are reconsidering how they are implementing it in the Japanese tree, so it will come later. One possibility they are considering is the H8K as a premium, and the H8K2 as a normal vehicle. They got a lot of backlash when they announced that it was going to be premium.
