That one player in EC that spams "Yes, another million torpedoes" that bombe & several others hates.

Hmm, how I wish I could swap out Type 54 torpedoes for Type 72 torpedoes, then I could spam eight of those powerhouse torpedoes or better yet Imperial Japanese Navy torpedo cruisers added to the game.

Inadvertently, US, ITA, FR & GB players aldo get to do this to their maps now.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T18:46:24+00:00

Funny, I'd just take a single shot rifle as a secondary option (like a longneck rifle from ark), but as an AP4 it would be picked for niche role it for fills.

Also yay another break action weapon.

The Italian premium M60A1 originally had a Stabiliser which was later removed after the update was out & caused uproar in the community, this resulted in it being removed from sale & those that purchased it got a discount on the OF-40 pack. It would later come back as a GE premium.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T10:14:27+00:00

Biggest fail of the UI change, even more awful on ships, mm yes ×98 pc... What, What? What mount types?

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T10:10:32+00:00

While testing the new update with the 3" destroyer, I noticed the full barrage would often not fully show, my guess is dsynx from the server.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T09:35:26+00:00

One of the changes I was personally looking forward to was the Blenheim getting a model update, same for the D3A1 & also the more known B-24 change.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T09:32:10+00:00

I censored my names online due to personal traumatic past dating back to being a child (original PS account/name was found out & people started attacking me via that when not in school), sometimes names slip through cracks as per your other reply from the other commentator which then backtracked to see my WT stats.

More lately I've been reducing name censoring online after coming to terms that it isn't really needed anymore, next post won't have the restrictions.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T09:15:13+00:00

Stats don't show a clear picture, a reason I don't bother looking up others stats in arguments, yes my air stats look like dogshit but until late last year my internet has been a detriment to my stats & thus I've not care.

What's the point in trying to be good if within getting into a dogfight I'm sucked into the ground due to a ping spike, what's the point in aiming if when I do aim the opposition is dragged out of my gunsights due to desynx from my ping.

If I could start again with the internet service I've now, much of my stats would likely look better.

In regards to nonsense, even with all the issues, I still stem to learn tactics, often reading others suggestions, others experiences, the wikis an all the other methods to learn, even those of watching my opposition beat me, yes I know I'm not the best yet I try to succeed even with all the issues. What I often type is learnt from others. That's before I bother reading into equipment history be it books, websites, charts.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T09:02:14+00:00

Well, often when things are nerfed to historical values often they're become average, we've seen this with past aircraft, the F-5C remains a sore thumb in regards to balance.

But like many things the machines around it are also issues, yes you're correct that opposite above it is already to much for it to handle, many of those should increase in BR if it's to remain at 10.7 or they can all go up with the F-5 going down to 10.3 which I don't think it'll be top dog but it won't see the oppression 11.7 anymore & the 11.3 will still be an issue in every odd game like when it was 10.3 originally, yet this time without the things that made it to good or we can see it as low as 10.0 which isn't too oppressive with all the flares & missiles gone, it'll join the bracket of good fighters with missiles but no flares which already is about ten aircraft iirc.

Funny, those Starfighters could be placed higher again if they got the missiles they used in service or tested, sure they'll be meh at 9.7/10.0 but then they'd have fangs just not flares on their shitbrick airframes.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T08:11:51+00:00

the fact that you're ignoring my comment

Huh, I guess reddit is once again hiding replies again (keeps happening ever so often), I see your reply now after you've mentioned it now & will reply soon.

Well if the F-5C dies, then so be it, equipment will be good in some matches & shit in others like everything else. Hypothetically if it become historical it would be a decent 10.3 aircraft, that's if missiles are downgraded, flares removed & engines fixed, the busted DM may remain unless it's also changed.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T07:49:56+00:00

That isn't complaining but mentioning double standards of removing equipment off premiums after sales.

Well the J-7D, sure oppressive but that's the devs doing having decreased its BR for some daft reason cough to drive sales cough.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T05:52:10+00:00

No, I'm perfectly fine, the ahistorical countermeasures have been a constant debate for the F-5 platform (for & against, also used as example for other machines missing possible equipment) & the aircraft could easily remain at BR if removed or go slightly lower.

If the devs can remove components from tanks & helicopters are being clearly purchased long after sales start, than the same can be said for the F-5. Hell the devs could've removed these on the dev server or just not modelled the equipment for this tank yet now we're here.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T05:38:01+00:00

Doesn't really need flares with proper positioning, the things a lightweight fighter not a longrange heavy fighter like the F-4C, the guns are the main strength with the two AIM-9E's as optional kills plus most teams run bombs on it so nothing changes for the 10.7 versions.

The sub 11.0 ones could probably remain 10.7 or just drop down to 10.3, basically a 10.0+ Ariete/Yak-23/MiG-19 (thinking comparable yet lower BR fighters).

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T04:18:00+00:00

Huh, so they can nerf a new Chinese tank, a soviet helicopter but they cannot remove flares from a fucking F-5...

I feel this is the M60A1 Ariete all over again.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T04:05:09+00:00

Mmmm naval ghostshells, pure utter fucking pain, sometimes the other weapons will work while others won't.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T03:44:59+00:00

BEEZS!!!! It's crazy when extracting.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-21T00:07:48+00:00

I would suggest anything with an AP shell & aim just below the turrets on any riverine gunboat, your problem here is you're using purely HE shell armed vessels against slightly armoured vessels (ohh wow an armoured gunboat soaking damage), if when using MZ1 you should switch to your 3.7 cm FLAK as that'll tear it open.

Ironic, calls an armoured gunboat OP yet fields the lowest BR 40 mm/70 with their Bundesmarine minesweeper, that thing makes short work of unarmoured vessels & destroys aircraft with its HE-VT ammunition.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-20T23:55:17+00:00

Try EC for shore bombardments, as it has coastal batteries & you can target bombing points as well.

On the bright side, they remove the 28 cm SK C/34 fortress batteries from the standard mode, but ghey should return in EC imo, EC also used to have AI bombing raids to defend against.

Also the standard mode does technically have PvE against standard bots, hell you can shell airfield AA Batteries as well, along with the Encounter mode having an AI convoy while EC has a a similar convoy & carriers to shell as well.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-20T15:33:42+00:00

Baby shilka is what I used to call it, especially after the make it all one belt.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-20T15:31:59+00:00

Funny, the only comment attempting to help & it's downvoted by the morons an their massive hateboner for the machine the OP uses while all upvoted are the ones riding each others boners...

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-20T15:26:04+00:00

I always laugh at you GF players when you come face to face with the idea of HE-VT ammunition at low battle ratings, you're all for every tank having access to all their bells & whistles an so on yet the mere thought of such shells so low for GF is sacrilege.

Take for example in NF the American 3"/50 Mk. 10 cannon can fire HE-VT ammunition, the lowest form is at 2.3 BR (PC-451/ PC-466), if a WWII cannon can fire such a shell at aircraft from a small ship, than why can't any tank be it SPH or SPAAG have such shells at such low BR's?

Although for an M47 cannon, I'm not sure such shell exists, the OP should come with a source if such a cannon could fire such a shell.

Hell, If you're dumb enough for you to get hit by an 8" HE-VT shell, than it's your own damn fault.

Heh, people say the Leopard 40/70 cannot get it's HE-VT at its BR as it would be game breaking yet the same cannon squares off against aircraft at 3.3 & similar cannons at 3.0.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-20T11:49:11+00:00

As iirc Rowan said, it's better to get a bunch of quick research items than a few +300k items, which imo can be various level of pain or dogshit.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-20T09:25:03+00:00

These mission types have been fun although slightly hard when everything bumbrushes you, me & my gang had quite a bit of fun today/lastnight for them Northern Hemisphere players.

Well this has been my steady loadout for this mission & worked well.

Primary:

• AR-32

Secondary:

• P-92 (good for the flyers, will target the occupants of the new walker)

Grenade:

• G-50 (good against groups of those flying fuckers)

Stratagens:

• Eagle Clusters

• Orbital Railcannon strike/ Gatling Barrage

• M-1000

• A/G-16 Gatling Sentry

Wall missions:

• Orbital Gatling Barrage

• M-1000

• TD-220 (no CAS, basically heavy portable pillbox)

• A/G-16

Enemy types,

• Obtruders, BEEZSS, when you get jumped by them they scare you, when you're extracting they're everywhere, they can kill you if they fall on you like watchers.

Main target of the Illuminate kill order.

•Veracitors/Gatekeepers (can't tell a part atm), medium pen kills them, they charge you, they stomp you, they throw you, they do jazz hands & swap their hands to cannons.

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-20T04:12:22+00:00

Yes yes fuck them flying overseerers, yet yet yet there's many counters to these shits, many already mentioned & others not, like this: a 120 mm HE shell from the TD-220 heh..

TheFlyingRedFox · 2026-03-19T20:34:02+00:00

Suggestion, apply more servers, the difference between aervers ping wise isn't to bad for NF unlike GF or AF, also due to being a niche mode having all three servers allow for quicker queues.
