The new time limit PLUS all the ticket bleed from groundpounders really limits the amount of fun or solo play carries that can happen in air rb now. its kinda sad :(

It shows just how much gaijin employees dont play air RB let alone air, let alone RB.😂

[@eugenechurch6135]

Absolutley

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yup, did the other team really kill enough ground targets to deserve to win this quickly by tickets?

[@1rb1s_]

Yeah, carried today with 4 frags in D-13 (it was 6v6 match and other two dudes crashed while ground pounding), but got a loss cuz our tickets ran out before the game started bleeding enemies tickets for losing all their planes. And this was a game with 150% booster. I have never gotten Gaijined so hard) I think that with this time limits and with this amount of ticket bleeding due to ground pounders, it would be wise not to substract tickets when one ground unit kills the other one. If course, in this case there will be situations when there's no ground units for one of the teams and it still has tickets, but if one team gets low on ground units due to them killing each other, some reinforcements can show up on either side, so that ground pounders always have units to kill. In this case, you will still have a chance to win, even if you are IL-2 and you are 1v1 vs, say, a 109, and enemy team is low on tickets. But instead of sitting at AF and waiting for time/tickets to run out, you would have to play actively and come up with some sort of plan which would let you get to ground units without being killed. And that would also equalize the situation when there are two pure fighters left 1v1. They would have to engage each other in order to win, while now, if it is a 109 vs a Spitfire and Allies are low on tickets, most 109s will just run until time/tickets run out

[@Erden99]

Watching your attack runs on the BV238 reminded me of my Yak 9U vs B17 fight a few days ago. Quite satisfying if done properly. Edit: The M.B.162 has Hispano 404's with a moderate cone of fire to the rear, very inaccurate and small mags but good effect on target if you hit. It's one of the fastest climbing and most pleasant bombers to fly, like a 264 with the fat trimmed off.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Oh I see.

[@_ace_defective_]

Kinda crazy that this thing is at 4.3 when it's just a straight upgrade over the other P-51Ds. The D-30 literally just gets 3" boost over the D-10 yet sits 0.7 higher. I wish this plane was still sold. I really want to get it. Also at 5:45 when you pull the reversal, if that 109 had gone for a vertical loop what could you have done against it?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah, given that this is a premium as well, it shouldn't be more than 0.3 away from D30. Hmm I would have followed it up to force him to complete the loop, even though I wouldn't get the shot unless he just went straight up. Then it would have been a looping fight, and eventually I think I'd come out on top.

Play the c10 , insane performance at 4.0 (d30 level), just 2 less guns.

[@ege5804]

That guy had no idea how to properly fly a BF109 to change the course of action. He had a lot of energy but he preferred to waste it away by keeping his nose down after his short dive for hunt which gave you a brief window for a shot opportunity. If i were him, i would go for a 45-60 degree climb, maintain my altitude until i gain a BNZ advantage and hunt you from above. You were at a low altitude with mediocre speed and energy so i doubt you could keep up with a high energy BNZ 109 . In my honest opinion, 109s are the most powerful when they are in experienced hands but they can also be the quite opposite when you fly them like a Spitfire. Amazing video by the way, you surely are a skilled pilot.

GJ ! Pas mal d'erreurs en face mais aussi pas mal de "close call" de ton côté ^^ 0:35 donc un légèrement meilleur D-5 au même BR ? je prend ! (cette vitesse en piqué léger) Pareil pour le D-20 j'imagine. Je ne sais même pas qu'elles sont les différences entre les 2 :D Jamais vu cette carte en RB mais, vu sa topographie, on pourrait penser que les joueurs voudraient éviter les dogfights à basse altitude (avec toutes ces montagnes) ... et pourtant tout le monde était en train de faire exactement cela dès le début de ce match XD Le pauvre Hellcat (ce brave Hellcat !) qui se fait uptier et qui doit affronter un monstre de vitesse. Le P-36 aurait effectivement peut-être pu distraire le Hellcat et survivre le plus longtemps possible pour gêner un des 2 adversaires et te faciliter la tâche ... mais la plupart des joueurs ne réfléchissent pas vraiment à leur rôle dans une situation donnée (ce qu'ils peuvent faire pour leur équipe), ils sont trop occupés à penser à leur score, à vouloir tout faire tout seul pour faire des points et grind plus vite (greedy simpletons).

Merci! D10 a une augmentation de puissance significative comparé au D5, c'est plus proche d'un D30 que d'un D5. Ouais c'était mon premier et seul match sur cette carte.

Just unlocked the Ta 152-H Since your last video on it, it got a BR increase and FM changes (for the worse). Whats your opinion on it now (espacially while taking a look at the redicules repair cost)

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah it's now fine at 6.0.

[@anthonynarvaez8212]

That was a good match! Do you use the advanced mouse controls or something similar? I'm still pretty new to proper dogfighting in the game so I'm wondering if that's what the pros use.

Have you ever considered ground targets ammo? I use it on my 51s and 47s and they tear everything apart

Those bombers basically threw the game by not climbing/running/camping the AF. Amazing game design.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yes, brilliant indeed.

[@captdavid160]

What US planes do you consider the best to carry US teams with the usual ground pounders and the matchmaking? BR ranges of 4.0 to 5.7. Also, is Universal your preferred .50cal ammo belt or do you switch between the various belts?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

F4U4B, P38L, P47D28. I stick to Universal.

[@max0120]

Hey Adam, I'm happy to say they fixed the Re.2005, a user on the forum discovered it had about 18m^2 of wing area instead of 20, it now feels right even if I think it should not face p51Hs and spits mk24, do you think those 2 planes need to go up in br, or the re2005 down? Or is it ok where it is right now?

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Re2005 is 5.3 no? So it doesn't face Mk24 (6.7). It's probably ok where it is now.

The more prop pitch, the more velocity you'll gain?

For most planes, prop pitch should roughly equal throttle %.

Universal M2 belts feel really weak as of late, quite a few of those bursts would have been kills just a patch or two ago

Hmm haven't played enough to notice a difference, but some really small bursts led to crits in this match. Seems like variance to me.

Hey Adam hello! I have two questions for you. I will be glad if you answer. What is your mouse dpi and in game sensitivity ?? Thanks in advance for the answer.

Hey Adam, how can I fight against p51 as soviets? I feel that I can't fight them in high altitudes, because there they are better at everything, but if I stay low they will boom n zoom and energy fight me until I die. So what should I do?

Depends on the plane you have, but generally you'll climb and turn better so use that.

Also can you do a video on dogfighting a p47 in a p51-d5 or vice verse. I always get smacked by the 47s. Also is j26 better than American p51 d5

J26 is like a D5 I'm pretty sure. That's a pretty specific dogfight request, I don't think I'll get to it anytime soon.

[@Zelectrocutica]

P47 actually good for stall fighting because of its big wing and raw engine power + flaps the experience p47 will give you a hard time. For the j26 vs d5 it's a same plane and same gun(same belt too)
