In sim time ago I activated MEC by mistake on a 109 right after takeoff, engine instantly died, I glided to the field just to get the message “your plane is critically damaged and cannot be repaired” I was like “WTF?!”
And it will probably end facing Korean war aircrafts
The standard TT variant kicks ass at that BR. If this new one isn’t higher than 6.3 it’s all good.
When it was released I even put a talisman on it and I was so happy, but still at that br there are too many faster planes that just run away. And I stopped flying it because of the exaggerated repair cost. I mean a 1943 plane against post war superprops is a bit, how can I say? Weird, plus repairing it cost like a modern era jet…
Level 75 is a vehicle I don’t care about and the level 80 warbond ground vehicle I already have? Praise Gaijin. I can kick back this season.
A couple nice vehicles this time. Surprising to see both are Italy but I’m not complaining about that.
I think for warbonds I’ll be getting Chi-Nu II, a rank IV bluewater talisman then if I have enough left over, the MS 444.
Solid advice - but I have only 60% winrate and no friends oooooops :)
Thanks for the advice! I don’t have this plane, but the Thai SB2C works similarly, right ?
I’m definately interested in that beautiful fighter plane.
Selection of decals and decorators is fantastic too, as well as the profile pic and loading screen.
Would love if you brought back the low tier reward though. I miss it. It’s strange not having a ground vehicle in this battle pass, there should always be at least one of each vehicle type.
Your winrate can and will go up with a good/organized squad . . . and there aren’t that many people in the player base that have over 55% winrate anyway, so . . . . that is by no means a disadvantage.
Heck, go play so matches in the vehicles at the BRs you felt best suited to try it and ask in the chat if anyone wants to squad up for a few. When you get some “takers”, play some, if it goes well, make the proposition about the GE wagers. (at least they are playing the same thing, makes getting a squad together a lot easier I think)
Meet new peeps, make some friends and get a “GE wager squad” built up.
It takes a little planning, yeah, but as I mentioned, once you get the hang of it, can go pretty well and make some GEs . . . nothing to lose really . . . better than letting the wagers “stagnate” in your inventory anyway
I’m only afraid that it means we will get close to nothing new for Italy next update, because “you have just received 2 new vehicles through a battle pass!”.
It depends on your pilot skill as the B7A2 (BP and TT version) is compared to the Helldiver the way superior aircraft. The Helldiver is extremely relying on the air spawn, mainly a bomber hunter and is basically a free kill low and slow - whilst the performance of the B7A2 allows you to focus on dangerous opponents like Yak-3s (you outturn them) or Spitfires (you can setup energy traps).
So in order to win 10 or more matches in a row you need the performance to kill the “right” enemy at the “right” point in time - but mainly a very favorable MM setup - and a hell of luck. The B7A2 excels in full uptiers whilst every enemy with 2 braincells just flies away from a Helldiver…
As you can expect a default WR of ~ 70% it depends on you to be the decisive factor in ~10% of your matches, the other ~ 20% depend on server, daytime and nation allocation of the MM. By observing the nation allocation of the MM you can see some rather stable patterns which might help you to determine of when to activate your GE wager.
I recommend to use the 10 win victory wager as dry run upfront your GE wager - investing 10k SL result in 250k SL payout. I would estimate that 90-95% of these wagers went through.
when will be the next battlepass where the ground vehicle is a free one? these days it’s always be either a) free plane, battlepass ground b) free ship, battlepass plane c) free ship, battlepass ground d) free plane, battlepass ship
last one I could think of is that Breda 90/53
Sigh…
Finally. You’re the only one I’ve seen to recognise this.
Not even close. Thai SB2C is much, much worse than B7A2
In the dev blog, they don’t mention the improvements to the engine and intake. They mention only the propeller, and that’s something I’m concerned about.
In WW2 the Germans took the Re.2005 and modified it to fit their needs. I hope Gaijin will implement this plane correctly.
Nice plane, will get roflstomped by BI, just like everything else around 6.0-7.3, but Gaijin will never balance the Soviet magical rocket plane.
outside of Sqb you don’t meet BI all that often. And even if you do, just leave it alone unless it already goes at you
Ofc i’d also prefer for gaijin to finally do something about it, but it’s not that big of an issue
It absolutely roflstomps in Air RB and I meet it often enough.
Eh I think the plane is the top revard.
