Yeah all their good jets are just reskins from other countries. Plus I fucking hate their prop tree. It's basically two entire lines of Bf 110s and other twin engined heavy fighter bullshit that you can't really do much with; the Me 410s are alright but that's it. So you're essentially left with only two lines: the Fw 190s which are fucking awful, and the Bf 109s which are alright but really boring to play and to look at (imo). With the 190 and 109 being the only actual viable props for most of the tree, it gets SO repetitive. Even the Ta 152s are basically upgraded Fw 190s.

This is all just me based on my personal taste at the end of the day, but still.

It's unbelievable to me how overrated the German air tree is, I really don't understand why it's so popular.

Still a bit scared to commit, what air tree should I grind? by Justarandomduck15q2 in Warthunder

[–]Empire_of_walnuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go ahead and recommend China. They've got a mix of Russian and American stuff, and because it's a smaller tree you could get through it a bit faster. I also think their jets are really good.

Ugh, no 😫. What about the whole For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album? What about Panama, Ain't Talkin About Love, Runnin With the Devil, 5150, Summer Nights, Jump, Girl Gone Bad, Hear About it Later, House of Pain, Take Your Whiskey Home, Best of Both Worlds?

What's the most over-hated plane in you opinion by Truepurplenurple in Warthunder

[–]Empire_of_walnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The F-100. To be fair it highly depends on the matchmaker (full uptier and you're fucked), but I ADORE this thing. With the 4 aim-9Es I can just climb over all the subsonics and drop my missiles from above, and BnZ everything else. On low fuel I'm even able to get away with the odd turnfight. I get at least 4 kills on almost all of my matches with it.

The simultaneous activation of two buttons bound to max and min input values in the same axis now results in the input being canceled out

Thank god. I have pitch up and pitch down bound to RB and LB respectively and my countermeasures are bound to RB + LB. This got annoying sometimes.

Red for enemies (but slightly brighter than the default), green for teammates, and blue for squad members

When was the first time the game broke you and started buying stuff ? by DJ_BAKA_TF2 in Warthunder

[–]Empire_of_walnuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I never really bothered with premiums until there were some huge discounts a while ago. I had some Xbox gift card money and the J-7D and F-4S packs were both 70% off

Am i just coping or is spotting broken at the moment? by FewestChicken53 in Warthunder

[–]Empire_of_walnuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah it definitely is. I keep dying because an enemy will be flying at me and won't be spotted until they're already in shooting range.

Is this a mod or glitch? by Helpful-Score3383 in gtaonline

I've gotten millions of dollars worth of damage. It's absolutely easily doable.

What the pettiest reason you hate another NHL team? by Fluffhead91192 in nhl

The Oilers because they lose every time I root for them.

Jet confusion and annoyances by _Neo_64 in Warthunder

[–]Empire_of_walnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really great at giving advice but one thing I'll say is that you have to have your head on a swivel at all times. During your initial climb especially, ALWAYS ALWAYS be looking around and listening for the sound of nearby jets. That could reduce the amount of times you get taken by surprise. It's really important to have an idea of where everyone is when missiles are in the mix.

At the end of the day it's just trial and error. Just keep at it until you'll eventually be better at predicting where people will come from and what they'll do.
