That's just looks like NTW, but yeah, they came in 14.5 Russian or 20mm Vulcan. And wasn't semi-auto, bolt-action

+motus gaming Yeah, and while I normally play very aggressive (so that the sights don't have that much impact), I just demounted them yesterday from all the guns... Hopefully they will get some kind of use in the future.

+Tigrisshark yea need to be able to toggle them off and on like in bf4

Yeah, mine is more optimized towards larger prey like Pythons. Guess sooner or later we'll get missions requesting certain ships types as targets.

RingoFreakingStarr Given that the Courier is more maneuverable than anything else, I think the energy is ok. Would it be better otherwise? Yes, but to me it currently feels balanced and rewards the pilot more for his abilities. Otherwise it would feel too much link a clone of the Vulture to me.

Zeref Thanks, tried this yesterday. With smaller ships it's a good changeout, but I feel that when dealing with Dropships and higher, they plink at the shields more than the burst did.

Creedless82 Aus meiner Erfahrung ist das leider nicht ganz richtig: Pulse und Burst sind zwar gegen Schilde gut, jedoch sind sie mit Subsystem-Targeting zu ungenau und treffen nicht. Beams sind wiederrum besonders gut gegen Hülle und treffen auch Subsysteme. Kinetic-Waffen wie bspw. Multicannons sind ähnlich Pulse und Beam einzuordnen, Cannons hingegen sind suboptimal gegen Schilde, aber extrem gut gegen Systeme. Frag-Cannons habe ich noch nie sinnvoll einsetzen können, selbst wenn man aus nächster Nähe auf ein Schiff schießt, so ist der Schaden schlechter als Cannons oder Burst.

edy san Medium gimballed cannons are quite common, I thing I purchased mine at 72 Opiuchi, but other places carry them as well.

Tigrisshark thank you

Added a "warning"- Hope it didn't detract too much from your enjoyment!

Haven't checked in a while, but the last time I did it only gave you the regular fine- which is quite low in comparison to those inherited by carrying stolen goods.

Close enough, Germany!

Tigrisshark Sorry for asking, but tigris means tiger in Hungarian. So i thought that you are a tigershark

Magyarmester Maybe it's just by chance, but that actually is pretty close to the truth about how I got that name :)

Seeing that EA bought Bullfrog and just release a (horrible) iOS-Game called Dungeon Keeper, I have to say- PHeMoX has a valid point, even though I guess they have checked with EA first. I'd check my facts before calling others idiots, but that's just me.

If youd bothered to check world wide copyright lists youd find that dungeon keeper is not copyrighted and can no longer be copyrighted due to legislation laws.

Christopher Hartill You're right, I didn't bother to check the copyright "list"?!? What I checked however is the following: The trademark "Dungeon Keeper" is still owned by EA... tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=77805088&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch KTHXBYE As well as: cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg=Dungeon+Keeper&Search_Code=TALL&PID=XIn7Pyp50YyM3hYW-OenZYLttQlr&SEQ=20140612152842&CNT=25&HIST=1 Under 11 you will find a claim to DK by Bullfrog AND EA...

I am personally looking forward that they reviewed the DK series. Keep the good work!

Up till today I was a bit pissed by the new rendering (or the lack thereof). Today I got shot at by an invisible tank and even recorded how WT made him disappear WHILE I was aiming STRAIGHT at him. This needs to be fixed asap.

@Arty: Welcome to the GF... I make a habit out of switching tanks when I have researched arty without using it again- a cooldown of 15-20 seconds (depending on your crew) makes it the primary weapon for a lot of players. I'd wish I could tell you that it will decrease in effectiveness with the higher levels, but it does not seem that way. Still pretty much death from above. @aiming: There is a button that lets you control the rangefinding-mechanism, I'd love for that to be for something along the lines of the zeroing mechanic as employed by the ARMA-series. Zero your gun to say 1000m, place your crosshairs over an enemy and pull the trigger, if the shot goes low, raise the zeroing, if the shot goes high, lower the zeroing. (That said, I am no expert how sighting worked in WW2, so perhaps you have to do it like Gaijin now says). EDIT: Here's an actual guide, looks much more sophisticated than what we have: www.75thguards.com/ww2online/downloads/Zheriz_Ziess_Sight_Guide.pdf

You're welcome :) Glad you liked it. (Mission is just a simple "Destroy the enemy fleet" from the generator, added the covering fighters (P-400s) and enemies (A6M2-Ns))

Tigrisshark You should post this skin to the forums so more people see it and download it. If you don't want to or have the time to however, I'll post it for you and give you credit if you want.

Sure, go ahead. I tend to stay away from there because of the general tone that I found to be predominant there.

Tigrisshark Yeah I do not blame you one bit, it seems to have gotten a little better, but yeah.

Unfortunately that is already disabled, I still have that problem, don't know if it's perhaps something else.

oh in that case i have no idea =/ sorry man

They recently moved the tanks from the test-server to the live one, so it can't be too far off. I guess still a month or two away.

thx

It was changed, but it didn't change. I could have done this with the Griffin Spits, which are tiered as BF109-G6s. Another 2 year gap... As I stated in the video: The problem persists in 1.39.

Thanks for the suggestion, will try to improve on that! (Coming soon(TM) ;-))

As I said in the beginning- I don't think it is over performing, it just is THAT good (compared to the other tier 1 tanks). I personally think it needs to be at in a higher bracket, it is a) the 1941 version of the T34 and b) you are pretty much helplessly outclassed in all but 2 german tanks. However todays impressions have led me to leave the GF Beta until they introduce the next batch of tanks, simply because there are almost no none-T34 players left on the russian side in RBs. Which I find extremely stupid, because seal-clubbing people in a beta where your stats are not transferred and you cannot level up is mind-blowing. The only thing people achieve is that you cannot play things like the self-propelled gun or the T28, and the german side simply stops playing. Which means you won't be able to play either because there are no opponents- like in the worst stages of the events in WT air... So, to cut a long post short: No, I don't think it is over performing, it simply is underrated in its BR/tier.

Not nice to read this, but well I hope they get their problems solved, because I really was looking forward to get my hands on ground forces, so I hope they will change something with this. And yeah I think you are right, nerfing the t34's gun or armor or sth. would be against the realism, so a higher rank looks like the only way to fix this problem. Oh and thx for the answer :)

There's so much going on later that it isn't really distracting.

And now they've added multiplayer. Expect another look at it soonish :-) (Obviously NOT a total excuse to play more of it)

Well, I tend to disagree; having played both, I find COD being heavily focused on a furious multiplayer without much regards for realism, WT at least to some degree tries to make the planes realistic in their behavior. And while in RB you can make yourself nearly untouchable by adhering to certain tactics, I never found any of that in COD.

Tigrisshark they both have the same amount of regard to realism. They are both shallow. For example there is the bullet drop in cod and penetration in cod. Here there is flaps and bullet drop but no more. the flight model is piss poor.. 3rd person etc etc..

GoodKnight5252 It really depends on which mode you enjoy most. I am not a fan of AB, but RB is not much of realistic mode compared to the SB. I think of RB as something alike of the "realism" of the normal ARMA-Series, both have third-person, however if you are a fan of true hardcore-experience you will not find it outside of SB (which is much like the fully modded ARMA experience).

Normally the reaction to something like this is much more hostile, I really feel bad for messing up laitos and jimmimusmaximus' game.

I know the saying of "Luck favors the skilled and all" but this was pretty much purest of luck. I shot down 1 or 2 planes, but most of the enemies rammed the ground.

Yepp the Beaufighter is horribly broken, a problem which is only excerbated by the unrealistic shooting in Historical Battle. I was once shot down by Beaufighter, over which I had more than a 1000m altitude advantage, because he could zoom somewhat and shoot at me hitting me. Now that is stupid for two reasons, 1) actually hitting a fighter sized target at more than 300metres is more than just highly unlikely. AFAIK only one ace "screwball" Beurling ever pulled that off. 2) he was shooting while pulling up flying at a slow speed, at which his plane was unstable. Most planes need a certain speed to be a stable gunnery plattform, the 109 for example needs around 300-350 kph for it. Below that, it will wobble around a lot during aiming and shooting. Especially if you're climbing at a 50-70 degree angle while aiming for a target. 3) The Beaufighter is way to heavy to actually pull such a maneuvre off. A P-38 could do it, but it is sufficiently lighter than a beaufighter, and has better aerodynamics. It's not just the damage-modelling thats totally off, it's also the Flightmodelling.
