The story of the Russian Pilot Zakhar Sorokin is simply amazing! It is so uplifting and inspiring to hear and learn about stories like his where he over came so much! From surviving the aerial combat, ramming the enemy 110, then close quarters combat after which he was wounded, drug himself to Murmansk. Then endured tough amputations, surgeries and healing along with getting prosthetics in the USSR at that time and then being recertified as a combat pilot? Overwhelming odds and a persistent, dedicated Human Being who shows what we can do when we stop arguing, fighting, undermining each other and focus on becoming and doing Our best for yourself and those around you. For those people that don't become amazing or aren't completely triumphant the fact and point is that they try their best, give 100% effort, continue to work, practice, struggle and don't give up. Always give whatever you are doing your upmost best attempt because if it's worth doing it's worth doing Right!

Q: How come The M18 is considered a Light tank in game when in real life it was classified as a GMC (or a Tank destroyer) by the American Military.

[@hi_-bz7wf]

It is closer to functioning as a light tank whereas tank destroyers are often classed as SPGs. The M18 has a turret, light armour and an mg like a light tank. Only it's gun is unusual for a light tank.

[@DaleksInc]

@@hi_-bz7wf By that standard the M10 is a medium tank.

[@hi_-bz7wf]

@@DaleksInc The M10,, functions as an SPG because it's turret rotation is negligible and it doesn't boast the armour of a medium. It is easier for Gaijin to go with SPG because the difference between it being an SPG or a medium in game isn't very big unlike changing to light which can scout.

Fw 190 F-8 yes, one of my Fav planes right after the A-5 U/2. I suggest the F-8 with the Panzerblitz 2 (PB2) rockets, they have a lot of pen (180 flat and still super strong against angles) nothing is safe from them ... you just need to hit, you have 14 but they are super hard to aim, i still dont know how to use them without useing all for 1 target. And the ammo, i suggest using the stealth belt for the 13mm gunns, its all Ap-I and the allrounder belt for the 20mm cannons, i mean 1 bad Ap round with tracer (I-T) 2 super against planes and unarmored targets Minengeschosse and 1 super nice Ap-I round.

was just able to blitz the edge to enemy spawn, when i got there shot didnt register(pulled trigger on a green reticle).... started by supporting flank and things went miraculously perfect, team won all battles, i took the flank met one tank before i hit the spawn, messed up the track and engine 3 sec later teammate cleaned up, 10-15 secs later i was in the spawn, vehicle spawned in took shot and didnt register.. the map was karelia i believe it was the north spawn... i believe it was the west flank. in terms of balance just asking to consider adding more... debris/rocks to slow me down but also let my shot register if i do get through fairly quickly. the flank vehicle was spaded US M24chaffee. not sure if that experience is intended or not. i was hung up on rock in the beginning and it could have just been one of those weird matches that occasionally happens it was on AB . didnt catch the vehicle may have been the one of the russian bt7m or a bis battle pass variant??? got caught on the on the why it didnt register not what it was...interwebs is doing well, hardwired.... not sure if i should hit spawn that quick or the enemy just got rocked or if its a variance of balance?

Hey GJ, great work as usual. This is probably the best all round sim/FPS air/tank/naval game in the market, bar nothing. There are however still one or two very minor graphic issues that anny me greatly. The first is what happens when bombs and other delayed detonation ordnance hits the ground. Rather than looking like a half ton block of concrete hitting the ground at 50 kph (which is basically what most bombs are) they look like plush toys thrown against a wall. Any chance of adding some code that removes the bomb model just before it hits the ground and adding a small crater and thrown dirt debris particles, BEFORE the bomb blows up ? I reckon it would add immensely to the immersion of being bombed, at least from the targets view point ! Second and related to the above, I understand that the basic damage models of all aircraft in the game come down to a core of basically half of the fuselage and some wing stumps, plus otehr bits (eg wings, empenage etc). This doesn't look right though when an aircraft going Mach One or higher is hot by a missile - IRL the aircraft would become a ball of flaming metal confetti - any chance of adding some sort of "blown to a collection of indecipherable metal junky bits" destruction animation for very fast aircraft or aircraft hit with very large explosives ? Once again keep up the great work, even though my top aircraft is a P-36 I LOVE this game !
