I'll be in there for the next few hours taking advantage of the +100%xp that runs from 3-6 today, anything other than going out in this rain.

Well if this event was planned as a stress test for the servers then Gaijin have got their answer: servers can't handle the load!

RevBillyG · 20 Oct 2013 at 16:36

Indeed, we've just left due to the server load. Never seen so many people online

Yep and while there were a lot of people on there it wasn't all that much higher than the usual peak load. Disappointed..

Now I doubly hate working Sundays, missed out on that sweet sweet xp! could have got level 13 on me Brits

Stusteel · 21 Oct 2013 at 08:10

I am enjoying bombing more now that there are more camps/bases to bomb and not just the runway.
The double xp helped yesterday also with upgrading my "turd". More experienced gunners and almost fully kitted it out.
But soon will come the time when the top level Wellington will be available and I will become really useless again as apposed to a minor annoyance.

Reppyboyo · 21 Oct 2013 at 14:24

The Lancaster isnt much better.

Leprechaun312 · 21 Oct 2013 at 14:53

I seem to come across a fair number of B-25's in HB which seem to hold their own. Tbh I think the Wellington is introduced at too high a level, Germans get He111 at level 4 (?) and for the Welly to be introduced at level 7 its crazy. By that time you're up against 109-F4 and some 190's in battles. No chance.

Agreed. Considering the Wellington is an beginning-of-war WW2 bomber it should be available early on, or at least on a par with the HE111.

Most people I've seen tend to like the A-20, which I frequently give up on chasing as I simply don't have the speed, and if I get in range it's bristling with guns to boot

Still, they don't like being shot down with rockets from my Chaika!

We're using the game's built-in voice comms.
The banter is beyond unbelievable, trust me

I have a mumble server if you'd prefer to use that. No problem, just let me know. Defrag0112 in game.

In other news, in case you didn't already know the tier 6 Spitfire is awesome...

So many accusations during that game!

I've gone all the way to jets, but its at tier 6 & 7 where the real fun is.

don't see a grant666uk in the applications mate. you sure that's you in game name?

I've got a Nurples (oh errr missus), Hendersongrant(is this possibly you grant666uk?) and an Outcast Spartan

JamesM · 22 Oct 2013 at 21:56

We need a Spartan in our squad thats for sure

Stev · 23 Oct 2013 at 07:12

Had a few good games last night before I bailed, defrag you were rocking consistently!

Really need to get some kind of proximity sensor if kwango is on server, I think that's the 3rd time we have crashed mid air lol
