I was wondering, is there any chance flaks would be added as an airfield defense system? It would be awesome

[@Gunship]

Especially in Jets, the AF AA could do with an upgrade!

[@az-kalaak6215]

@@Gunship from my point of view, the AAA we currently have is "too accurate" as it does not touch you and you still get shot, it is also ineffective above a certain height. Having a low-alt AAA that fires a lot more and a high alt flak battery would be very realistic and even would challenge a bit more the bombing runs over the bases and airfield (without making it impossible of course.) but this would mean the bombers would need to be either more resistant or have better anti aircraft capabilities (AI ones I mean)

Found the M13/40 overview to be quite refreshing, pointing out their qualities in context, timeframe and considering the opponent's equipment as well, all in all it was adequate for 1940, but I wish there had been a quick mention of the Semoventes which represented the only response they developed to Valentines and Matildas other than shooting their tracks and immobilize them with the M40s

I was going to put this on the next Shooting Range, but chances are you'll still read it on this one-- Allison engines marked on the P-38 Lightnings, all variants, and the Cobras (P-39, P-63) are correctly modeled as V12 engines but are listed by the game as 12-cylinder inline. Just a quick text snippet fix across all engines and all planes :)

Lmao at the beginning i was like "oh look the as 42 got a glow up"

[@DaMatchstick]

13:32 also with your guns on the F2, activate weapon selector and select one gun type, since the game splits the guns to two buttons, you are able to fire for longer, and in Arcade it means that you will possibly always have ammo to shoot, yeah it chops your burst mass in half but imo its a fair price to pay for the advantage, especially if you are a noob at it or you wanna kill more targets without reloading

Q: Why are bri'ish tier 4 and 5 tanks so expensive, and if it's because of balancing, can't you make it a little more... ftp player friendly instead of frustrating?

[@granmarbg]

You should know by now, that the British try to make everything more confusing than it needs to be and, of course, everything must be off-balance for the enemy! The Brits often believe that make it expensive and people think that it's going to be worth it!

[@claudiorealmuto]

For the pages pf history: the m13/40 was already obsolete at the start of the war. It was what it was due to the fact that italy wasn't ready for the war if we talk about it's industry and goverment burocracy

Also, it was not planned for combat outside of the italian peninsula. The m series was obsolete because it was almost a copy of an old british design, the vickers 6 ton

Q:What are the barrels from the backs of some tank? Like the Churchill III or the Maus

[@seankirby8831]

Love these videos But I wish they would put in a function where you can manually reload your main gun on tanks As it stand if you fully load a round and realize that your ammo isn't up for the armor your going against and you have plenty of time to perform a full reload you have to fire a round and waste ammo to switch to a new round
