Premium Typhoon you say? The one with an armament that belongs on a 5.0 BR plane, but it gets a 3.7 BR instead?

Yea, I recommend it... having a nearly 3-1 kill ratio and almost 400 kills with it!

Oh, and the Russian T28 tank. It's a bit of a monster isn't it? Perhaps if I bosh some AP shells in it, it'll be even more vicious!

I think it was in one of the Steam packs, but yes. My 3yr old son loves sitting on my armchair watching me fly, but it has to be in 3rd perspective, because he loves seeing the aeroplanes. Whereas I prefer HUD view, for 30 degree light vehicle strafing.

Fixed.

Nah, the T-34s are too slow! And I am constantly getting one-shotted in mine. Srsly, WTF?
You want the BT-7, T-50 or T-28 "Racetanks"!
If you need to get to a cap point in time, and kill lots of things while there, then the these tanks are for you!

*Sits and waits patiently, twiddling thumbs, for Matt_FSR to get a T-50, and to watch his mind get blown*

Me no have premium. Me poor. This be why....

I'll be working towards the T34, I feel the need for some slopey-armoured goodness...

This made me giggle earlier, take a look at the picture of the plane and its registration letters on the side....

I want that skin for my PO-2.

 

[Brainchild110]

That, Mr.Matt, is a tasty device for controlled falling. Have you gone for that colour?

Can someone put this giggle-happy picture Spangles has found onto the forum plz, as I cannot access it direct due to works net restrictions

That is indeed the colour! Much controlled falling will be had, the faster the better I feel.

Best bit about that PO2 is I strongly suspect Gaijin have *NO* idea about those registration letters!

 

[Boycey0211]

oh here is the handy guide to where to oneshot tanks! It does work quite well too

I shall henceforth be known as Captain Flashheart! And I will start every game by teamkilling at least one of my own team, calling him a poof, then murdering every enemy that shows his face in the most coldest of blood, but while telling dirty jokes about the enormous size of my penis.

And yes, all of this IS just to fill the whole in my life left by Rik Mayalls passing

Unlocked the Russian T-50 last night, but didn't get time to have a try of it sadly.

It's quite cute actually, kind of like a miniature T34!

 

[FirebarUK]

So what are the Russian tanks like in general? Are they made of Sovietanium like the Russian aircraft?

 

[Boycey0211]

sort of, you get the option of fast and weak or powerful yet insanely slow

Or you get the Su122 tank destroyer, which is fast and powerful, but you might aswell go and make a cup of tea while you wait for the reload, by which time you're dead anyway

 

[Brainchild110]

Nah, not by a long way.
The start-out tank is a sad, pathetic thing that gets one-shotted and beaten to death in short order, especially by the German tanks that have annoyingly effective guns, and even by slightly-higher-levelled versions of itself!

The Russians improve fast, however. They get obsessed by the big-gun philosophy, which makes them slow. But the Engines catch up after awhile (This does not apply to the BT-7, T-50 or T-28, which drive like stink. I use them for fast caps and ramming ). The first T-34 is mega slow, and the same with the KV series.

Have you been Germanning it up?

 

[tcfreer]

T50 feels like epic fail currently to me

Though that could be the stockness of it.

When's the B29 coming into the game? I feel the need for some heavy american fun

Though I do like my hellcat and corsair strangley

 

[matt_fsr]

Never mind the B29, when's the Hurricane Mk2c coming to the game?

I'll even let them put it in the Russian line-up, and give it some derp battle rating like 2.7, which they probably would....

Seconded!
Having been stuck playing the Hurricane Mk1 for the last few days, I can tell you it turns incredibly fast. Only the biplanes turn faster. I am able to kill ANY other monoplane fighter in a 1-on-1 battle because I can dodge their bullets in a head to head, then turn on their tails before they are half way to turning on me.
It is let down by its lack of firepower. A 4-set of 20mm cannons would make this one of the best planes in the game. But I don't see it being a 2.7. They would place it in the 3.7 - 4.0 region, no doubt. Spoilsports.
