Swings and roundabouts, sometime I get kills "stolen" off me, other times I can ninja a quick kill off someone else! :D

I feel dirty doing that.

It's a good point actually, probably my biggest gripe with the game as it stands; not really sure how it could be sorted, but there must be a better system than the one used at the moment.
 
I've given up on this...

Earlier this evening, I played for just under 2 hours and every plane was shot down in 1 shot, either pilot knocked out our plane on fire.

Yet, when I pile bullet after bullet into someone it does nothing all ammo types as well. (but before tonight no problems, wave of cheats hit the game?)

but final nail was a G20 climbing on my wellington faster than any modern jet. 4,000 feet in under a second.

A shame really as the game is awesome, just needs some tweaks especially in arcade mode.
 
Aye it does get far too infuriating to play sometimes... I know Gaijin swear there are no cheats for this game, that it's impossible... Few youtube video's show next to useless cheats but I believe people are using something... I've seen planes dodge every bullet with jerky movements that I doubt a player could use, yet they fly fine when attacking you... bombers being one shotted and like you say other planes climbing impossible altitudes in the speeds they do it..... takes forever, especially in a fighter normally..... but hey it's in beta and its free... mostly
 
While it could be cheats, i imagine its just lag.

Which can cause the OHK effect, as all the bullets play catchup, which you cant really respond in time.
 
I am still enjoying it. I find bombers need to stick together but people just go off on their own thing without any thought and get picked off by fighters. I like the game because it suits my limited playing time and I don't need to prep anything. Load and fly. If anyone fancies some arcade squad fun add me and I will join you.
I mainly fly British aircraft, Beaufighter X, Wellington and Spitfire Mk II are my tubs atm.

Is that in Arcade or HB?
I ditched Acrade after about 20 hours and have been on HB full time now. It's so much better and you can still play with the mouse. The FM's are just a little more realistic. No UFO climbing when you clearly have the energy and altitude advantage. Kills are SOooo much more rewarding.

Just got the Tempest last night, finally! I love it, my favourite plane by far.:D
 
I've only really been playing in arcade, maybe that's my problem... lol


My Spitfire IX (XB or whatever... the level 8 one lol) is my new favourite plane, that thing turns on a penny and is a solid match for those annoying airocobra things.... they really get on my nerves and seem way to agile and robust where as my beloved spit seems to be made out of paper lol

I was really looking forward to the typhoon, that has been the biggest let down of planes so far and would happily go back to my hurricane... it's almost like flying a brick but with the offensive power of a kitten and I get more air kills in my beaufighter! lol God I love that plane too!
 
Im still enjoying Arcade mode, My planes are up to tier 10 on most nations, though i have generally stuck with planes tier 6 and below. At these levels you can actually enjoy some cool dogfights with a bullet riddled plane instead of the vapourising death ray from Yaks and Airacobras.

As for pilot death, i found mine much reduced after piling a ton of points on my pilots vitality.

Most of my pilots are at 60+ vitality now, and they rarely pass out anymore; I still get plenty of kills by killing enemy pilots though, so I guess there are still players who don't invest crew points in this stat (no idea why).

love my airocobra......small tip don't bank too wide when being chased by one the 37mm nose cannon will take a wing off in a heartbeat. i take great pleasure in milling about aimlessly out of the way and watching a beaufighter head in for a run then drop on his tail and wait till he banks away....then boom off comes your wing :p
 
Still easily my biggest time sink of the last 6 months.

Add me if you need a wingman or some HB tips (I've gotten moderately good and usually know what I'm talking about, even if I can't always put it into practice) - same name in game as this forum: audigex
