Yeah mines pretty much maxed out I think?

I'll check tonight when I'm on
What coms are we using?

OCUK TS or in game?

Beaufighter would be just fine, might bring out my non-upgraded one :S

Sorry Sari, machine keeled over when loading the map. Couldn't get it back up but I've just found out that I unplugged a chassis fan earlier today when removing my old HDD, so everything overheated

OK lads, lets get our serious faces on.
This plane is the rarest of the rares. We require 60, 120 or 240 kills in TIER 2 aircraft (thats you flying them) or above to stand a chance of winning the plane, with higher kill scores giving better chances.
However, get 360 kills and its's yours guaranteed!
60 kills is 10 good battles (assuming 6 per battle as good). 120 is 20, call it 25 for reality. 240 would be about 50 battles. And 360 about 70 battles.

Our best chances are in the Russian and American lineups running the first of the TIER 2 planes, pitting us against a few noobs in the lower stuff for easier kills. The Russians also get rockets. Battle ratings range between 1.7 and 3.0 here, but you will be lucky to get a full team without a 3.0 or 2.7 in there.
Winning battles doesn't matter, its just player kills.
Bots don't count. Ground units don't count.

The figures above are for Arcade only. RB and SB require less kills.

Squad up if you want to do your best. Remember, we may not get a chance at this plane again for a very long time.

Good hunting.

Pah... i laugh at your "6 kills is good" - fly Russian

God dammit. That may be my plans for getting minging Friday and Saturday scuppered.

If it makes you feel better I also didn't realize I had something unplugged - my rudder pedals. Due to the fact I'm rather tired I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I smacked into the tower about halfway down the runway

Decided to cut my losses early and stick a film on instead...

Not at all, everyone flies better minging!!!

(possibly not true, needs more research)

Boycey0211 · 3 Oct 2014 at 02:37

Oh and happy birthday Kwango!

Ha! Probably a good sign to call it a night

Is just as easy to maybe buy the d250 for like £5?

Boycey0211 · 3 Oct 2014 at 10:30

this plane is only achievable through completing the event though, an evenings playing arcade will get you the 60 kills+ easy, and when you get it you get to be all smug.

Have you NO understanding of free stuff?????

Besides, a lot of us already have the D520. When a hyper-rare plane is potentially being given away, why not have a crack at getting it?

War Thunder tier 2 carnage tonight chaps?

Yeah why n.... OH WAIT.

Worst detachment ever, fact. They'll be giving out free ME163's next weekend just for logging in knowing my luck

tcfreer · 3 Oct 2014 at 10:37

Yeah I'm game - what we using for Ts?

Josh has asked how many do we have for the War thunder room - should I say 5-8 of us?

You need 360 arcade kills to be guaranteed to get the D521

Boycey0211 · 3 Oct 2014 at 10:47

true, but only 60 to be in with a chance, which is good. 360 is a heavy weekend for me, reckon I could smash it at T2 though.

matt_fsr · 3 Oct 2014 at 11:06

To be fair, you haven't lived (or died) in War Thunder until you've experienced the glory that is the OcUK patrouille de France acrobatics D520 murder-team of myself, Brainchild and a.n.other - complete with red, white and blue co-ordinated smoke.

tcfreer · 3 Oct 2014 at 11:12
