zero planes are way too op

[P_R_A_E_T_O_R_I_A_N]

i have destroyed about 2 zeros throughout my whole gameplay. these planes are just too powerfulll. sure the game is looking forward to realism and stuff but making it realistic just by having a stupidly overpowered plane like irl is kinda bad decision

[Kupica]

maybe you shouldnt turn fight with them

im thinking u got this post wrong, by zero i mean the japanese planes A6 models, they are super fast and super manuverable with amazing guns

Are you using a biplane by any chance or your flying F4Fs...

super fast = 350/400mk/h

Thats maybe because he is higher than you and dives on you or it's you that's too slow, P 47 really needs to get some alt in order to out perform anything bascially, otherwise your in grave danger 24/7 most of the time

Considering that ♥♥♥♥ climb really well and turn really well they have all the good advantages on their side, I fought against them hentai dudes with US and brits and even russians, and the only time we ALMOST won was during night because they were blind af

uhm yeah and run for the rest of the match until its over yeah, might aswell get into a B29 and space climb I guess

IMO the zero's aren't that OP, it just that they are seeing too many russian in matches. that being said, the japanese army line are totally OP, you have all the stats of the zero but it does not catch fire easily and able to keep up american planes in a dive.

[Kingfish]

Ahh yes, the stages I went through as I learned the US planes, thinking how everything else was OP.

Nah, I can guarentee you that you are not flying the plane correctly. Admitadly, they are hard to fly. I can tell you that as I currently am in the Jet tier.

The way to play them is 100% BnZ, especially the Jug. The ONLY time you EVER energy fight is against a plane with almost no energy, and NEVER against Zero's. Zero's have good acceleration, good turn rates, and good manueverablity. Hell, even their guns are pretty good. They do, however, have one fatal flaw (Multiple xd, the biggest one being), their speed.

Their top speed is much slower than that of ANY American plane. Use that to your advantage, Boom onto them, try to get some hits, turn to a 25 degree angle, and climb back up. Another great thing about the US planes is their energy retention.

Another quick tip, take incideary rounds against Japanese planes. Unless they are in the A7's, which have self-sealing fuel tanks, they won't have them. Meaning a simply fire will be almost guarenteed to kill them. Or you could just take Uni rounds and literally rip them to shreds, your choice.

Start the match by side-climbing. Climb to between 7000-5000m. Then try to use your 8 Freedom Blasters to tear any Imperialist, Freedom-Haters out of the sky. Watch as you free the ♥♥♥♥ out of them in seconds. Never commmit too hard to a dive against a Zero.

If your dive fails, just make like the US in Vietnam. Turn up 20 degrees and run away from the Asian.

There is more you will come to learn with experience, but these fundamental tips should help you start freeing people like a true American!

Anyways, feel free to hit me up. I would love to help anyone learn my faction, and I could use a wingman in the skies!

So far the only time I've managed to one-shot a zero - or any other plane for that matter - has been the germans with their mineshot rounds either on the 20mm or 30mm cannons. Meanwhile HEPIs and SAP-Is on Hispanos seem to do nothing. 50 cals I don't know much, but generally it's been a critical hit and target barely survives all the way to their own airfield or with any luck there's a fire

Yeah .50 Cals dont' one-shot you unless you get a pilot snipe. They are really good at taking out plane modules though because of the amount of bullets they put out.
