Playing fighter planes is totaly worth it [sarcasm]

Then you must train more with it Yes strafing runs and bombing runs is crucial. But your main objective is to keep the sky clean. In this match they didnt dare to take out much planes so i was free to gun them down with 7mm as they tried to run in to the objectives âlong with some well placed 50 bombs

Ps your 20mm also work on rly thin light tanks

@ErikaKalkbrenner

why should i

if i get the airplane is because im there to use it. not to waste it.

I meant your enemies. Bad choise of words.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

i suggest you to pratice with flaps, they sure help

I use them too much It’s a matter of time untill I rip off the flaps because of speed.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

the FW despite got a few fixes, it’s still weird. it’s like defeat the physics law sometimes.
but it has decent rockets which can go through buildings and wipe out whoever is inside.
perfect to clear points from pesky attackers / defenders.

Interesting.
But I’ll have to wait to see it myself as I won’t grind it Before Christmars™

Use fighter planes in reaction to enemy CAS, not preemptively

[Srg_Steiner]

Yeah me to with the flaps ^^ But i learned to only use them now when i want to do sharp turns then just throttle down for the strafe and bombing runs

[Screaming_Pigeon]

Okay, im going to break this down:

1. Ive seen people say this beofre and I will simply repeat it, who tf cares about immersion? If your playing this game for immersion then your playing the wrong game. The idiotic ai run around so much on the battlefield would make you think that there about to glitch out and enter the nightmare dimension. If you want immersion play Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm.

2. Bombers have a bunch of incentive to use their bombers. The amount of kills I see a bomber get in a round is ridiculous. Its essentially a xp farmer to use a bomber. I literally see a bomber every few matches just get insane bombing runs that get 4-7 kills. Even if they dont have intention of helping the team, they still do because they thin out the enemy and make it easier for friendly infantry to engage. Arguably I guess you could argue bombers are too op because of how easy bombing runs are and I see a lot of players desert a match if the enemy has a bomber but thats a different topic I suppose.

3. I would agree there is not much incentive for a fighter. You could go and take down the bomber but after that you are kind of screwed. There is not much else to do since the bomber tends not to respown back when you are in the air and doing CAS as a fighter is god awful. Thats why they probably kamikaze due to there nothing else to do but crash your plane and take out a few enemies and get those points. Like I said, air warfare is garbage in this game(unless your a bomber with 250kg bombs).

The P-51D-5 is totally worth the grind!

[SneakyFishXII]
