War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Always look at the turn rate in each plane's stats. They matter big-time. Also, the slower you are going, the tighter the turn radius. However, the slower you turn as well, so there is a trade-off. And, probably most important, some people are playing with simulation controls, which, if you can get used to them, provide better control. I wish I had started with them right off the bat. I tried going to them a little while back and the simplified controls are so firmly entrenched in my brain that I just can't get the hang of them. I was taking planes out on test flights and simply could not get a handle on it. Bummed me out.



If you are coming straight on at a plane and you pass, and you know that plane can out-turn you, do not even try. Run! The speed and time he wastes turning should give you ample time to accelerate away and get out of dodge. And look for friendlies. If I am in trouble, you better believe I make a B line to the closest friendly I can see. Maybe they will scare my pursuer or go after him and shake him off my tail.



Believe me, planes matter. Try to always be researching and getting better planes that suit your needs. American planes were not known for dog-fighting. They used hit-and-run tactics most of the time. Test fly a plane and see if you like how it handles. And don't forget armament. The more guns, the better. And if it has cannon, WAY better. Nothing more frustrating than pumping round and after round into a plane, constantly hitting it, and doing no real damage. You can tail the guy forever like this and before you know it, someone swoops in on your tail and you are dead meat.



Good luck. I am no expert but I would be glad to help in any way I can. Remember, the plane is really the difference maker.

Thanks, does having a keyboard and mouse have an advantage over a controller when turning?

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

The US release will help, but the buzz of new games releases, recently launched games releases and free games lineups releases got the community " buzzed" at the moment.




LOL....You Openroad have come into contact with Sr squad members. Highly skilled kill fighters that are an elite squadron group. An example "RAF" before their hashtag name.(Royal Air Force). They're so many more. I believe this demo included some members of the PC community for the beta testings, especially against more skilled players as we got more advanced. I can't prove it but I know what I saw when I saw it. And we saw either intentional or unintentional "other worldly feats"

I can assume that we 3 are in this tier 3 level. If there are others out there beyond please holler back. This tier is an elitist group. I'm inside new maps against some excellent fighters, and more advanced pilots than before. Oh, and I came across a couple of Destroyers and a Battle Cruiser instead of those pilot boats. I've also continued my quest by using all 5 representatives.

Must be the time of day because most players are on during the day since the are UK players.

Oh yeah. Saw my first B-17 today. Surprisingly it didn't take a whole squadron to bring it down.

Lost about 5 or 6 missions in a row today. Was holding my own in the air, but no one else was going after mission objectives in either ground attack or domination mode, so I missed my double bonus research points frustrating!

It very well could, but I don't know.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Are the UK planes still incredibly OP, or did they balance the planes a bit more?

Just like other Multiplayer games, most people play objective based games like Team Deathmatch, without communication

I don't think they are overpowered, I think they offer the best balance for an average pilot. I see people flying US and German planes and absolutely ruling the skies. The P-400, P-63 and the P-47s can hang with anybody and so can the FW 190s. I have yet to see a P-51 in the game but I would think they would be the best.

The Spitfires with cannons are incredible. But they were in real life, too. All those planes above, the P-400, P-63 and Fw-190s had cannons. Makes a world of difference.

Some Images from today's fights..........................

1- Target up ahead and nothin but "clear skies". Ready to unloaded 8 50kg bombs onto their base.

2- Ominous pic from my LaGG. Yes, that's Pearl up ahead.

3- On a path to the Destroyer inside the Harbor.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

In celebration to all "Titans" for the day......

1- Shout out to, the Dauntless, who took down 2 planes, (1 a Spitfire) and also capturing air rescue points too.

2- Not easy capturing a kill, but here, my German bomber leaves him smoking and burning into the sea.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Nice job, dude. 2 kills with a Dauntless is wicked-good. Had a good run with my IL-2 (took down 4 planes and had an assist) on one mission. The IL-2 is so darned tough that it makes up for it's other shortfalls. And of course the cannon helps immensely. Having planes with cannons makes flying planes without them a real chore.

Still working on getting my Zero, my Bf109, my Ar-2 and my Wellington bomber. I have completely stopped researching US planes right now. Just don't like flying the Peashooters in battle with all the other planes I have.

Talley-ho!

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

Now I see what's all the fuss about the Spitfire. Those suckers have ruined my campaign more times than I can count. After witnessing what they're capable of, all I have to say is "I gotta get me one of these".

Love the changing weather patterns and times of day. One mission was a dusk which was pretty cool.

One thing about the US planes Quint, they're fast and maneuverable once you've upgraded all of your engineering on them.

Re: War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

May not have too much longer to wait, found this link stating that NA will get WT early 2014. The date posted is February 26th.

This is great news. I didn't want to create a UK account. Glad it's coming soon.

I hate going against the spitfires, I try to avoid them at all costs. Turn rate is way to quick and I usually lose quickly. If I do attempt to fight, I try to steel from the rear and try and take them down. But if I miss, then I am toast.

So do I. Even going behind, they're so much faster and mobile than anything I have. Surprisingly, my US Hawk and Japan's Hien have given me my best bet in avoiding them with speed and agility. I find depending on the battle maps, will determine how much of an attempt I'll make.

They truly rule the skies. And I want One!

To Add: If you and I are ever pitted against Quint's Spit, you take the right, I'll take the left side

I started with the Americans then started dabbling with the Soviets. Next will be the Brits.

I see us chancing Quint like the Keystone cops of the air...lol
