First thing I always invest in is G tolerance ( I think that’s the right name) as it will make a huge difference in avoiding G-lock, say when pulling out a dive after dropping bombs.
The defensive tab is basically useless 99% of the time.
After that I’d stamina and keen vision (again, I think that’s the right name) are fairly good too
Also there is pilot and shooter and they both have G tolerance? does it apply for all of them or what?
I think so, or at least it doesn’t matter as Glock is your pilot, you probably aren’t doing hard pulls in a heavy bomber most of the time
really depends. I always take a dedicated fighter and then a strike/bomber at low tier but it gets funky later on
theres some really bad deadzones around midtier and the first really usable ones are flat out worse than options at lower BRs in other nations.
heres my lineups from 6.7-12.7 as my reccomendations.
Thank you for this awesome guide i really appreciate it.
no worries, all the lower BRs involve a spitfire and the mosquito bomber for aircraft so didnt think of adding it
Oh another thing about spitfires. is it just for me but they are preety paperish like i just get destroyed by bullets, theres not a single time where i get hit and survive
It used to make a lot of sence to have both fighter and strike aircraft/bomber in lineup, since you didn’t get SP increase for another class after death.
they can do. russian bullets do a godly amount of damage and the .50 cal incendiary rounds are a nuclear bomb most the time.
youre more fragile than most but you can kill them a lot easier than they kill you.
I get that, i still take them for their dedicated roles tho. Sometimes CAS is being spammed and you need a dedicated fighter to cleanse the skies quickly and effectively, especially as the UK doesnt have a good SPAA from 3.0 until 8.3
sometimes the skies are clean and i can just lob cookies at anyone i so please. its also more valuable when in a squad as you can do more directed strikes due to callouts from your friends
also about the turn speed how does it work if the amount is smaller they turn faster or is it the opposite
the statcards arent really accurate. if its a merlin powered spitfire, you are almost garanteed to have the tighter turn unless its some japanese aircraft.
if its a later griffon one you will turn on par at worst but have the engine to win on energy/speed retention
because one play has worse stats and is rated higher for some reason
which one do you mean?
Spitfire mk IIB and Spitfire mk VB
im so happy of my choice switching to uk instead of ussr the ground is fun but the planes are much more better for me
the mkV has a better engine over the mk2, an extra 200hp which is quite something.
i find myself leaning more towards a mosquite NF mk2 for 3.7 as its got better guns while still holding up good in a turnfight.
glad to hear it. a lot of people hate on the tree sadly, lot of it is either because its britain or because early ground can be painful.
Love the planes. always have and always will
is it better to have more smaller bombs or like less bombs but bigger ones
personal preference. Ive found that its usually a mixture of volume of ordinance and how big each individual piece is
Take for example the mk24 spitfire.
It can carry RP3 and triplex rockets as well as GP & MC 250-500lb bombs.
I could take all three MC 500 lb bombs as they have the most explosives but i dont.
I take one MC 500lb and two MC 250lb bombs with ten RP3 rockets. I may have less chance of outright killing a tank with the smaller bombs but ill still damage them and get an assist a fair amount of the time, I then have rockets to overpressure open top vehicles or to fire a salvo at a normal tank in the hopes of getting a lucky kill.
you may find that another combination works better for you though. its down to how you play more than anything
Would highly recommend the Typhoons/Tempests for CAS at their BRs, 1000lb bombs for hitting and 20mm Hispanos (except for the first Typhoon) for killing AA and open top vehicles, and ngl they turn better than nearly all other attacker aircraft at their BRs.
