War Thunder - [CHN] Curtiss Model 68 Hawk III - Map: Sicily (Air Realistic)

[@WammSon]

Curtisss! We were one model from greatness😢

[@Stefan-Forster]

@@WammSon I can't be an ace every time, I'm not good enough for that yet... and the opposing team and my own team also play an important role in this

[@WammSon]

​@@Stefan-ForsterI'm thinking my joke went over your head. I meant one more model number lol ❤❤❤❤69❤❤❤❤❤

[@Stefan-Forster]

@ oh, i see 🙃🙂

[@chris_bianchi13]

More biplane action!

[@Stefan-Forster]

I realized that I had never flown this plane before; I had to catch up... Retracting the landing gear takes what feels like 2 minutes, incredibly slow...

[@madmansprinkles]

Admire the "wait is that a fucking I-15?" and immediate priority switch :P dropping one of those can save the entire match if the enemy pilot was good Was about to be mad about the assist on the Fokker, until I was that the dude dropped a fucking bomb to kill him O: Amazing how the team kept things separated enough that it was just smooth 1v1s each fight, doesn't happen very often, I always appreciate it when it happens (:

[@Stefan-Forster]

@@madmansprinkles I didn't understand during the game why I didn't get the kill for the Fokker... only when editing the video did I realize that my team member got him with the bomb... I think I was pretty lucky that my plane wasn't damaged as well. Is the I-15 really that dangerous? The I-153 definitely is, but the I-15 is only a “reserve”... I'll definitely have to try it out...

[@madmansprinkles]

@@Stefan-Forster The I-15 is fun as hell to fly, does good damage when you get hits and with out turn anything, same with the I-16 Every plane designed by Polikarpov is amazing! If he had access to better engines and wasn't designing planes while in a gulag, I imagine his planes would have been even more formidable than anything else of his time O:

[@Stefan-Forster]

@@madmansprinkles Tried out the I-15 today; really fun... the video is coming on Friday... and so this has now become the biplane week 🙃🙂

[@madmansprinkles]

@@Stefan-Forster back when my friend got me into the game in 2014, he said "watch this" and his biplane shot rockets into a bomber. Imagine seeing that for the first time 🤣 Very versatile little plane, very scary to fight as well Glad you enjoyed it (:

[@Stefan-Forster]

@ Back when I started playing War Thunder (I don't remember when; years ago), I was really flashed by the switch from biplanes to monoplanes; I was always looking for an arcady sim in which I could fly my beloved warbirds. I also tried the rocket thing back then, but I think with the American planes, not the Soviet ones… and i loved it 🤣😂

[@invalid-dev]

Nice man, gotta do some 1v1's sometime. Also, its good to see you stuck around with realistic battles, you're killin it.

[@Stefan-Forster]

@@invalid-dev Never flown a 1v1 before... probably wouldn't stand a chance :-) And yes, I enjoy Air RB quite a bit, even though I'm still far from good... and haven't really ventured into higher BRs yet.

[@invalid-dev]

@Stefan-Forster there's a first for everything. But like I've said before, it's all about time and practice
