Re: War Thunder
I was on the dev server yesterday, don't get fooled by the new repair prices, what you see in the plane card is about half of your real repair bill.
Plane prices are fine now though.
Also I'll share a little secret with you - the He 112 A-0, the one with a single 20mm now has a uniqe 20mm cannon (C30/l) that was designed for AA on submarines, it fires a 5cm longer shell then the MG151/20, which means it fire at a higher velocity, meaning, straighter trajectory and in the end more damage. it fiers a little slower then the 20mm MG FF, but that is just fine as it can fire 5 second bursts without over heating.
So in the new update there is a new tier 1 premium for every nation and you get one free from the first nation you have a battle in after the patch. So who do you choose?
Probably Japanese for me since it is my main nation, smart choice would be Russia, but *shrugs*

Re: War Thunder
Naah, just the A-0.
Oh, I though you got them all ofter the first victory for each nation - good thing I saw this. I'll take the Falco for sure, I even use that one and the black camo looks ballers.
1.31 anyone? Haven't gotten into it yet myself because it's a 3gb download, but it's there

Re: War Thunder
Good enough update, but the key-part is missing, ECONOMY ffs!
Lvl 19 in germany and I just can't bare to spend 2 million extra just to get a few planes faster.

Re: War Thunder
The new damage model works fine with fighters, but it makes bombers far too fragile imho. I like being able to finish off fighters with one close-up burst from my .50-cal arsenal, though.

Re: War Thunder
Just installed it, played around 4 Rounds...the Combat is actually pretty okay, but whenever im trying to land...im either crashing or i accidently bump into something.

Re: War Thunder
Slow down to roughly two hundred kph, deploy gear and set flaps to landing(if you don't have flaps, no problem.) approach the airfield at a low angle, put front wheels down, slow down a bit more, pull up nose so you don't end up diving. Easy thing.
I really love the do 217, but it becomes unsteerable at any reasonable speed.

Re: War Thunder
Landing on an airfield is easy, but landing on a carrier is IMPOSSIBLE. Sometimes my tail hook doesn't work, the rest of the time I'm not low or slow enough. The only carrier landing I've managed is when I accidentally went too low and lopped my own landing gear off.

Re: War Thunder
Use your wings to create friction with the control tower. Also blindly fire cannons to use recoil to bring you to a peaceful stop
A lot of planes don't have hooks too, so you just gotta, 'improvise'

Re: War Thunder
Landed a one engined burning sb 2m on the wrong side of a carrier once. Every kind of argument you have is invalid.
I really don't see how you can ♥♥♥♥ up a landing. you approach almost level with the airfield and then put it down. done

Re: War Thunder
Play the landing tutorial?
It's really not that hard, and in arcade it's impossible to muck it up.
