magazine2 7,931 Report post Posted December 2, 2018 Welcome to the forum! AB: To fly aircraft in ground battles, you need to press the buttons at the bottom to fly in the aircraft. First you'll need to wait for them to become available. They become available: Fighter plane: Requires you to get one kill to use. Attack plane: Requires you to get two kills to use. Bomber: Requires you to get three kills to use. RB: You need to put planes into your lineup, and then get enough spawn points in order to use them. You can use them when you respawn.

madcap_magician 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2018 So far my ground force experience has consisted of a series of one spotted deaths, or being killed by artillery which I cannot even do yet lol. At least in air combat you can get in a lucky burst on any aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oSCar 164 Report post Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Try setting up some custom battles against 'bots; 'Battles>Custom Battles' then click the 'Create Session' button. Custom battles are a great way to get used to using tanks in a more relaxed environment. All the best.

Hi, in Ground Arcade you don't choose the plane you get, you can in Ground Realistic if your plane is at the same or lower br than your tanks and you have to put it/them in the line-up alongside your ground vehicles.

GenJin_X 0 Report post Posted May 25 Im confused though. When you use a plane in ground battles, theres a time limit. When I look on youtube, the people have the plane for like the whole round and they follow the same process. They bomb someone, return to the airfield, but they are able to still use the plane. But whenever I assign a tank to my slot in the hangar, I cannot use it in game. I have a theory why this doesn't work. Im pretty low tier and this may be the reason why. I do notice that it is high tier players that are able to do it. Tell me if im right or wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got them when purchasing something at a new patch - not 100% sure if it had to be a pre-order or not, but its something timelimited. Other medals were given out when you participate on an early test of something. TLDR: it only shows that the account is quite old and i spend too much money =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
