Ooamoat 109 Posted August 19, 2013 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 oh. my god. 6 20 mils. the sheer ecstasy of consistently handing russian planes their blown-up arses in head-ons is indescribable. thank you, gaijin. thank you... so much. :lol: also, many people have been annoyed by its 6x20mm cannons, so to that I say: I know. It's so effing powerful it's not even funny. At least Gaijin could take away the option to buy them with eagles (and it's only 330 eagles, and I'm ashamed to say I bought them with eagles as well, just because I was so freaking curious), which lets wallet warriors ruin the fun by skipping the experience grind for them.

AlphaMikeFox 6,031 Posted August 19, 2013 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 A5 is a head-on beast I kill so many planes in head-on attacks. Doesn't even need the extra gunpods. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dasein07 146 Posted August 19, 2013 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 Going head to head with a German plane is suicidal. 6 20mms is a bit much and never actually got off the ground. Its cool that they put some of these experiments in game but 6 20 MMS is a bit... ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me this is a strong argument for decreasing the damage done by cannons (against the B-17 at least). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turboflex 91 Posted August 19, 2013 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 The problem with heavy bombers is they don't have very good roles on most AB maps so bomber pilots get frustrated. The only real target is enemy airfield, which is cheesy. Fighter-Bomber, Attacker & Medium bomber have roles against tanks and ships so it's worth it to risk them, but there's not many fixed targets for heavies especially now that pillboxes aren't victory objectives now. Heavies just fly around up high, fail to hit moving targets while taking high risk that a bomber hunter like 190 or Yak 9 will take them out easy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xx8xX 17 Posted February 14 Report post Posted February 14 They making chances in AB from Realistic statistic because they have more players playing there so obvius Arcade is the moste costly to play if the game have 3 modes imposible to balance it right and this is obvius in AB if you trying to play and pay for tank or plane the reward of killing atleast 5 ppl to repair 1 of your planes in some cases more its just idiotic in AB you have 200% more chance to die fast that in other modes so they explain it so called reward risk its just huge pile of poo.
