Basically, what type’s of weapons do you guy’s use that give the most cinematic/coolest (and generally feel badass) kills when you use it? (doesn’t matter if they work the best or not)
To give an example. the the ki-48’s model B missile with it’s smoke trail everyone can see.
For me its the RB 05, simply because its the only missile of its type in the swedish TT
In my opinion is when you get a kill with the worst possible you can play at the moment, like 183 mm QF L4A1.
The 90/53 M41M. Ngl it was about 50% the reason I started playing Italian ground, since I saw it in a Italian Tech Tree review.
The match that solidified my love for it was when I used it in my 4.7 lineup against 5.7 Germany and USSR on Ardennes (I can’t remember the map config) and I was basically taking out Panthers and Tigers left and right - I even survived a 2v1 brawl against a Panther and some Soviet Heavy.
I love that thing.
Shreading targets with the 8x 303 MGs on the Spitfire is oddly satisfying. The Hispanos of course pack a much bigger punch and are way better, but the 8x MGs are just satisfying to use.
Any one-shots against Tigers/Panthers, especially with something that can cleanly go through a Panther UFP.
Any torpedo in naval, they take so long to get to target and so slow, that it feels like an achievement if you’ve had the foresight to hit one.
F2H-2’s cannons from cockpit sound a lot like blaster cannons from an X-wing or snow-speeder.
Flying the banshee in sim makes me feel like I’m in an x-wing. Now, I do often end up as an ex-wing making an attack run on a tu-4… but that’s besides the point.
Full-satisfaction has to be the quad hispanos on the P-51 though. It feels super nice to manage to only use enough shells to kill, and not waste any.
Dustbin of the Churchill AVRE Petard.
RB6000.
So satisfying when you lob them on their slow ballistic trajectory and get a full stick to straddle an enemy vessel from bow to stern (especially if it’s a big angry cruiser).
Not so fun on the receiving end, particularly if you see them coming and know death is slowly on its way but can’t do anything but pray.
Japanese 30mm HEF shells not fuzing on soft materials definitely activates a lot of neurons
Why not 12 on a Hurricane(or typhoon)? Even better.
Manually guided AGMs like Bullpup. Takes patience, skill, risk, but with a high reward.
Landing a good hit in a head-on with AA-20 nords - used to be fireflashes until they nerfed the hell out of it.
Ammo-racking Tiger II Hs too?
Ingame ? AS30L, sniping AA looks fun with that.
IRL ? ASMP-A. :p
Any torpedo, but especially those dropped from aircraft. Its insane how good it feels to land a hit with one of those.
Any multi kills with sturmtiger’s rocket. Or killing Abrams via turret cheek ring with any weapon.
GAU-8 Avenger, my beloved.
the .50 on Sherman
