To be clear, this is a “whataboutism”. The existance of an OP vehicle does not disprove the existance of another unrelated one. Not that I’m saying the A2D is OP, it’s debatable, and off topic for this threat.
I’ll ask again because you dodged the question. What makes you qualified to judge the Yak-9K when you have exactly 2 games in it?
I was referring to my games today, not overall. I haven’t played the A-2D as much as you I’m sure, it’s a new vehicle to me, and getting used to any vehicles takes some games. Well get it up in kd don’t you worry ;)
Funnily enough with my air targets belt, I was able to kill a tiger 1 on the A-2D.
Secondly, if it’s so easy for a hardcore player such as yourself to score 29 kills, let’s see it.
Lastly, “The thing is it can happen. With bombs It can’t.” so if I have a bomb… that kills any vehicle
In a 20 meter radius, and I drop it, and there’s 15 tanks in that radius, I can’t kill them? Then with the additional bombs I’ve brought, I can’t kill more tanks? Or the 4 20mm cannons with 37mm pen?
Terrible arguments again on your part.
Range, danger, kill radius etc. with one bomb I can kill upwards of 3 tanks, let’s say with a single 500lb bomb. I also can sling the bomb from height, without exposing myself to any true harm. You, have to dive and get close enough exposing yourself to SPAA.
Care to send that replay link? As this again looks like another perfect situation for you. I do also find it funny you seem to single out German vehicles. You must like they have worse SPAA than USA or the like.
Oh look, there’s not 29 kills there either.
And oh look, using a broken mechanic of bringing a reserve tank to get lower SP cost to then spawn a plane to stay in the sky un-oppposed, as you know, there will be no spaa or CAP to defense against you.
Miracle in that, reigning free in the skies, now if I played like the hardcore player that you are, I may have more kills in my A-2D, but I don’t.
Planes to me are meant for air or as a backup to ground, not a direct, “I got enough SP, I’ll hop in a plane move”
Oh, so if I have 3 games where I haven’t died and killed enemies, then I can tell that in that day I’m doing infinite K/D. Good to know.
Of course You can, thanks for proving bombs are not that needed.
I have never said it is easy, what I have said is that it can be done when You are using an aircraft with 29 ammo that can one shot all the vehicles.
In order to destroy more than 4/5 enemies that are near each other, You need a PE-8 with 5000kg bomb or Lancaster with 12000 Lbs bomb, meaning that You only have one drop that can always go wrong and near to none anti-air capabilities. Not to mention that when You reload You will be at the altitude that allows SPAA to take care of You.
Terrible understanding of the game on Your part.
On lower tiers or open-tops maybe, in most cases 500lb bomb can kill one vehicle.
I can shot my 45mm from a distance without any issue against the air.
Oh no, all the single situations I was in that led to 7 K/D! I must be the luckiest man alive.
Oh no, tactic that works for everyone.
I’m a tanker mainly, I use aircraft to only prove that they are overpowered ;).
Obviously undertiered and overpowered? Yes, probably.
Fictional APHE? Ehhhhhhh… Unfortunately there is evidence that an APHE round did exist.
The part that is highlighted with red “APHE” text translates to "“experimental armor piercing high explosive round for the OKB-16 cannon”, with OKB-16 being a sort of pre-standardisation name for the NS-45, kind of like the M26 was T26E3. I triple checked this translation with both google translate, an image translator and people that actually speak and write Russian.
Thank for proving my point, that an aircraft, with bombs is far more effective ;)
By that metric my P-59A k/d must be out of this world, must be 20+
You’re telling me, you knew how to fly every aircraft / drive any tank immediately eh?
Nor did I ever say it was easy to get 30 kills with a 2500kg bomb, but it’s still do-Able no?
45mm pen degrades over distance unlike bombs or rockets.
Considering you refuse to show the replay, it seems pretty lucky to me.
Meanwhile, while bombing I got shot at by spaa and aircraft, taking out a fighter, and Spaa, if there were more, I would’ve slung more bombs. Not hard.
Thus, all other cas are more potent, if they have more options for weapons.
The NS-45 has pretty good velocity retention. At 1000 meters it still has 38 mm of penetration (compared to 59 at 0 meters) which is still more than enough to go through roof armor, and not to mention most shots won’t happen from this distance, more like around 500-700 meters where it has 48 mm of pen.
it’s not potent, it overpowered, there is a HUGE difference
Was just playing a 6.3 match, 2.3 above the Yaks battle rating and a Yak melted our ground team, and when someone took of in a fighter to deal with it, presto, it just went from ground attacker to fighter and sorted out that aswell.
but hey, i know im talking to deaf ears.
But if Gaijin is looking at performance of vehicles and adjust the BR after that, this problem will be sorted by itself.
don’t you worry, it will be moved when Gaijin see the stats, unless they are lying about how they do stuff.
And yes, it’s better than those planes, those plane are one trick monkiess, while the Yak can do everything. and you know it as well, otherwise you wouldn’t act like you do bud.
