ok I officially suck with level 2 Italian and German planes in Arcade.

what use is superior speed if I can't force-stall the guy chasing my tail? damn.

I noticed that a lot of planes have identical stats on lower tiers. While it levels the playing field it also makes fights a lot more boring.

Also, even with mouse aim I can't hit shit.

iirc, you can't in arcade.

yeah and that's extremely silly. Or I just suck. I mean, there is this level 2 Italian fighter. It can't turn shit, but has awesome speed comparetivly. So I go pretty high, zoom down at some SOB with like 700, miss my shot, then intend to use that huge speed advantage to quickly climb to safety. Well, I can climb eventually, but first he kind of hovers with nose 90 degrees upwards shooting me to oblivion. Fuck that.

And in general, since you must go down to 18 meters to catch anything (as that's where combat is in arcade), you need to have a quickly turning plane, as other options are extremely limited at tree top level.

How am I supposed to use te Bombing View on bombers? In Arcade? Will bombs always fall where the crosshair is at when releasing, or it is more intricate than that?

crosshair seems to be it. Not that I'm good at it

[Tamas]

just to be clear, I am talking about the view (the one you can access like, say, tail gunner view), not the HUD-y thingie

ah, make sure you are flying a real bomber, not a divebomber or something similar. For example: the Catalina has it, but the plane before it doesn't.

[Tamas]

yeah I am flying one which has the bombing view. So, should I be assuming that my bombs shall fall where the crosshair of the bombing-aiming-toolish-view points to?

[Alcibiades]

Bombs fall EXACTLY where you have the crosshair at when you release them, no other mechanics.


Checked out mouse mode, fighters are exceptionally easier.....but I can't bomb for shit with a mouse so....

[Tamas]

5 air kills in one game using italian and one german planes. Take THAT, Mousenoobs!

Bombing isn't that hard. If you are using the Bomber View than the bombs drop dead on the crosshairs. This is great for attacking pillboxes and weapon emplacements (AA and Arty). However, it isn't that good for mobile targets. You need to aim ahead of them and the higher you are the harder it is to do. For those targets, just use the crosshair that appears under the plane at low altitude, it will turn from white to red, red meaning it's dead on target.

I love using my PBY-5a and A-20, they are awesome. Although, with the latest patch bombing has become more difficult because bombers are easier to shoot down.
