I have to agree, I'm more interested in getting the awards than getting the plane

[@SgtZak_]

It’s an amazing bomb trapper too

[@PostalMonkey]

"perhaps even better" is a good reason for me to keep flighting up with you lol

[@johnburgess3660]

Thanks for the hard work, Vee! And thanks for the commentary. Whenever there is a "desirable" aircraft up for grabs, I see names that I only see during special events. I'm getting to the point that I just fly a couple of daily missions and leave. This observation does not include the good guys, (the regulars) commenting below. Thanks again and see you in the skies.

[@markbrandon5236]

The solution to the "I just wanna have fun and shoot down planes" because there are too many top players targeting you is not just the obvious "get good" (or as the unfriendly and ruthless top players say "git good") but more importantly you should find a good clan to join and learn from veteran pilots by flighting up with them. I did that and now I fly most early mornings with a KMOFO clan member who played at the beginning in the beta version of WoWp in 2013 so I have learned a ton of game skills and tactics from him. And by flighting up we win more battles that way (a most definite win/win solution).

[@michaelpatterson4159]

Thanks Vee, I agree that it is just another GA, enjoyed some other insights as well. See you in the hanger, Missouri Marauder.

[@siscokid55]

Very Informative.

[@markbrandon5236]

Great video as always. I like your approach more than Postal Monkey and the history lesson at the end is always great to hear. You are on par with The Noble Q on producing very informative and helpful WoWp videos. As far as "be kind to others" that doesn't happen. When I play I usually observe the mercy rule meaning if my side is way ahead and the win is secured I won't deliberately seek out and attack other human opponents (only engaging them if they are attacking me) but the majority of players are ruthless right to the last second of every battle. There are way too many Kaim Invictus type of players that will want to milk this game for all it's worth. I always try to avoid these types of players. So if players are trying to "cheese" wins by flying the Xp-54, B-29C, or EF-131 then I either have to go lower tier to avoid them or stop playing and come back at a less crowded time. To that end I fly more in the early morning than in the evening which works out well for me. Final comment is that I totally agree with you on the fact that this is a game and if you are not having fun then "why are you here at all" (friendly fire killing you because the blue team player was upset that you stole the kill is so wrong). Last year I pushed to get the Antonov M. Masha reward and while I really like it the difficulty of some of the mission parts were way too stressful to be enjoyable (like having to kill 9 light fighters in a single battle, twice). So if I do complete the 15 missions by December 5th then "yay" but if not then I won't lose any sleep over it. I also have stopped using certificates to skip difficult missions until Wg does the right thing and nerfs these 3 op planes. Wg won't get another dime from me until they fix the most egregious balance problems.

[@vertik7]

I hope Wg will not nerf anything. Remember Ta-152, it's now unplayable. And there is nothing wrong with EF-131, get a heavy to shoot it, it's not that hard. B-29C, the same. XP-54 is strong, but it's possible to counter it with some planes like F4U, La-5 and Ki-102.

[@Steve-dg3md]

Semper Fi Vee Bat!!

[@369hamsa5]

Well i get it too and is good almost all victories but always with a good team is not a plane that can win alone

[@skunkbeard4205]

"Random player" here. It was fun flying with you, sir.

[@Veebat]

you have to admit it was a bit random of me XD

[@nikoladd]

Well on tier 5 it's a "daily mission" aircraft. I'd go for bomb reload as accuracy from bomb sight is irrelevant with this bomb.

[@Veebat]

I try to stay away from tier V I feel bad enough doing dailies at tier IV and below.

[@oscardapug4295]

Yeah, I appreciate what you said about game environment and players getting toxic over kills etc.. I play on the Asia server, callsign "targetpratice1138[WOLF]" Executive Officer, and fortunately we don't generally have the toxic stuff going on there except for the Chinese Clans always insulting people. Thier insults kind of get lost in translation tho which makes them kinda funny. We just don't respond.

[@BrljoMrljo]

Hello. Could you maybe post some guide about heavy Fighter planes? I could not find anything decent. I decided to go FW 57 line as I like more durable planes that sports cannons early on. I presume it is more like "boom and zoom type of plane as it tuns and manouvers like pregnant yak.

[@Veebat]

old but still accurate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6i1qIKOZa9gja8

[@Corsair37]

I want to complete the missions for it just so I can finally complete one of thes grinds for a "new" aircraft. (I have earned others like the VB 10, the Ju 86 E and one other I think, but these were all planes that have been in the game for a while). Unfortunately, I'll probably cert a good portion of it as I just don't have the time available to do the missions. I liked the Ju 87 G, especially once I got the 37s. I'm currently on the 265 (skipped the Ju 88 P for now) and it has been.....a disappointment so far. But I'll probably use the 265 for more of the ground damage/target missions in the D-5 grind so I can finish specializing it. Hopefully the toxicity you've run into is short-lived - one of the biggest attractions for me in this game is the community of players (at least on NA where I fly). I'd hate to see it go the way of tanks (or at least, what I hear about tanks as I don't play that one).

[@Veebat]

Usually it is short lived but a peak hours this weekend I had two very bad encounters.

[@funnyxavier5121]

I’m glad you mentioned this too.. it was an intense weekend, and seemed like lots of guys were cramming the Birthday Mission too. Friday night was tense. But there seem to be a few guys who just scream in the chat whenever you see them.. unbelievable.. It’s a game. Anyway, love your content @Vee bat ! Keep it up!

[@markbrandon5236]

@@Veebat Usually the better players come and play on Friday and Saturday evenings more than other days. Sunday could be 50/50, meaning it could be a good time to fly (fewer top players to contend with) but sometimes you get many up-tiered battles against good players and it isn't very good flying conditions. Last plane I did the missions to get was the Spitfire XVI last winter. That one was an easier grind.

[@Glenn-the-Gray]

Can you recommend a plane to get the Paladin? I tend to prefer turn fighters in my play style. Thanks.

[@Veebat]

If in a heavy a p38 focusing on bombers and bomber flights can work. I think I got this with the p39 but not everyone has access to premium planes. A p40 or an la series might be a safer bet for tech tree fighters

[@Glenn-the-Gray]

@@Veebat Thanks for getting back to me. I have those planes available and specialized. I'll give them a try. I've gotten the award before but it always seems harder to get when it's your main goal. 😊

[@skunkbeard4205]

By the way, I think the worst mission is killing 6 enemies WHILE ATTACKING sectors...no one ever stays to defend...

[@Veebat]

Agreed, fast hard hitting plane combined with luck is the only way.

[@skunkbeard4205]

@@Veebat hmm...maybe my Pirate...

[@logiccool]

@@Veebat which type is best for this mission ? attack , multirole or medium? I am stuck at this stage for past 1 week. 😑

[@Esquire5712]

Intelligent Zombie: I was wondering if it was worth the grind, I can't play anymore due to health reasons but always fun to watch your streams. be well Vee, it would be great if it made the noise that the Stuka was famous for. (Soory, I wrote thsi before listening to you last comments)

[@SgtZak_]

Spec’d version 43 seconds reload and 10,560 damage

[@Veebat]

You calibrated didn't you 😜. It took some doing to make that happen when I was playing with it and cost 30 rerolls just to get to 438

[@traviswilliamking]

Lol. Getting that mad over a game.
