Our new Mascot

Ross Couch Ross Couch you ****er

 

[matt_fsr]

I want the mossie so bad!

Don't get your hopes up, it's not even remotely accurate. Flies like a DO-217, which would be OK if they gave it a battle rating of 3.0, not 5.0!

Our new Mascot

*groan*

Well Kenny Loggins awareness week is off to a great start, the top gun soundtrack was responsible for a couple of our wins tonight (at least for me) adn a bit of we are the champions over TS as we bomb out the enemy base was fantastic.

To anyone who reads this who is currently in the squad and wants some fun: please speak up in the squad chat box if there are other people playing and chances are they will add you. I know there are a couple out there who want to squad up but when they get invited they won't respond to us.

Believe it or not we do as a majority play to win whilst still having fun, and any tier/skill is welcome

Play to win?

Play to troll more like.... how are they supposed to stop 5 or 6 H6K's all smashing their bases out when we all get into a game together?

Ba Do we know if Gaijin are changing the FM with the release of the new mossie?

I managed 9 kills before I got killed in my Mossie the other day, and quite often get about 5 kills in it per game, you just need to get it upgraded, and go high, go super high!!!

Unsure - you could try hunting around their forums, but the devs are often lacking in exact detail as to what changes are scheduled and when.

You're good in pretty much any Brit plane though! But yes, it will stuff bombers nicely, but seems to run out of cannon shells too fast.

Hardly the plane you'd have thought the chief of the Luftwaffe would describe thus:

"the British .... built a wooden aircraft at the right moment, which,
moreover, is almost incredibly superior and unrivalled in speed. Today
these aircraft stooge back and forth over Germany, sometimes on
reconnaissance, but at others not hesitating to carry out very heavy
attacks without incurring the slightest loss."

i honestly dont get these different MM cannons they all do the same crap after 37mm if you shoot at the hull with an mm even 57+ it doesnt do jack to the plane. If your accurate you can rip off a wing in 1 hit with a 37mm alone.

unlocked the 4000lb bomb on Wellington, w00t

Note - finally makes it remotely useful

Until somebody starts shooting at you and you are dead straight away. I decided I can't be bothered with altitude bombing any more and I load up the 18x250s and go for ground targets at low level.

The wellington cant gain altitude very good. You stay at average bomber altitude and if i was in a P39 or yak 9 you would be an easy kill trust me go for a H6K it holds 2 800KG bombs but i can get up to 7500M altitude and be undisturbed and win the game.

The H6K can also take a massive amount of punishment and still fly, and packs among other things, a 20mm cannon for defence.

However, Essex has got it a bit wrong here I'm afraid. The H6K isn't at its' best at 7500m. It's at its best at 0m. On the airfield. In a domination match.
