But in general using rank 1-2 planes is pretty painful XD I'll see if I can come in some time. I switched to keyboard for a bit. I play both now equally. I found that if I dropped my pitch sensitivity to zero, it doesnt "rubber-band" back. Helps with aiming, but I still overall suck. Is it just that circle you have to aim for to knock them down? I'm going down to Soviet Russia tech path, I have enough to get a bomber and trying to get the LaGG Suggestions on weapons to get for both (missiles, bombs?)? I want a fighter and a bomber. | ||

But if you are half decent you wont lose 5 planes per game so the use for extra crews is limited as it also spreads out your XP gain Its useful to skill a couple of slots just for repair skills. That way, when you crash your Fw190D12, you don't have to wait 6 days to fly another plane in that slot. On May 28 2013 12:10 Torte de Lini wrote: I switched to keyboard for a bit.

Once you get to rank 4 or so, start trying some historical battles. Its much more serious, and much more rewarding. | ||

I think the I-16 can carry rockets. So as soon as I got them what I did was start battles with that plane, get on the height of enemy bombers and kill them with the rockets. Only takes 1-2 rockets most of the time and is really funny. Some bombers are really easy to hit like the H6K, PBY or He111 the circle always aims at the middle of the plane. so if you are close enough it is very rewarding to aim for the enemies wings because they are much weaker. Whwen you fly behind someone and shoot straight into the back of the cockpit it can take ages to kill something but a few decent hits into the wings will break apart most planes | ||

The circle doesn't account for acceleration, so if they're accelerating, you have to aim a little ahead of it, and if they're decelerating, you have to aim behind it. | ||

I never hit moving targets x__x I'm always in channel Teamliquid so come by if y'all are here. Finally Rank 5-6 planes and my playing has gotten so much better. The planes fit my playstyle better. :D esp. the airacobra | ||

My favorite planes are the fighters. I like the F2A3 as my favorite... Have only played 1,2 matches with the P40E, but I havent gotten used to the controls on it yet... its really wonky compared to the handling on the F2A3. But i love my SBD3 for bombing/ground targets,,, this thing shreds tanks, AAA, etc. although im debating switching countries... the Hurricanes Mk I-III all seem to be absolute monsters. | ||

can someone explain does putting the crew points actually do anything? And what's like the point of increasing "experienced gunners" count for single person fighters? I sunk points into fire accuracy and spread reduction but don't really notice it, on the other hand, putting a couple of points into reload speed was noticeable immediately. | ||

for example the He111 has 6 gunners but you only get 1 experienced gunner from the start. What happens now is that if you increase the skills of your gunners you get a decrease in crew skills for every inexperienced gunner you have. So if you increase you fire accuracy for your gunners you have to increase it to 6 to get 1 point of effective better accuracy because you will get -5 points for the inexperienced gunners. I dont know why they did this but it screws over every bomber pilot who doesnt put money into the game to buy experienced gunners. | ||

Do the piloting things do anything? Why would they even allow putting points into those in planes that benefit nothing from it? Real dumb. | ||

The crew retains all its skills regardless of what plane is being flown. As such, it's best to have 1-2 slots dedicated to planes with more than 1 crew member, as you can focus on the gunnery skills there and less on the g-force training (which does almost nothing for bombers anyways, you're not turning that tightly). | ||
