All answers (2)Ouiche, No dust here comrad =) Let the targets (ehm helicopters) out of the stable. My Spaas are waiting :)
Thank you almighty snail for the new content. For the next update please fix bombers. It's like they are made of paper now. Oh and how about those naval vessels?
Most bombers and planes over tier 2 are literally tin cans, and suffer from their tails being shot off by a few machine guns rounds, while the rest of the planes' bodies can withstand damage their tail sections can not.
All answers (1)LSPRaven, Bombers were nerfed big time because many incompetent cry baby (cough, cough) "fighter pilots" wanted all bombers to be guaranteed easy kills. Ignoring fact that less than 3% of USA bombers were downed on the vast majority of combat missions flown. However, in W.T. the bomber loss rate is something like, what?, 90+% each battle. GAIJIN buckled under to appease the cry-babies on the forums. Now we can't get battles started in Air SIM because of lack of players. Air SIM has become fighter duels.
I see that you have not thought about the possibility that Russia and the USA go together against Germany and Japan in 10.0, having only them helicopters. Great injustice for nations that do not have those vehicles. A great success Gaijin, seriously. Thanks for destroying this wonderful game!
Thank you so much for fixing the cannon on the P.108A. Small fix but it makes the planes playable and shows that even if quietly things get fixed.
As an Englishman, I formally request we don't get any combat helicopters. Just give us the Harrier & Sea Harrier.
Sadly,I expected naval OBT since sometimes I'm waiting 10 minutes for a batel :c
