What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?

I'll just go down the main line and completely ignore the split; maybe I'll just get Kansas, but that a big maybe. -
Warplanes should not look like this

ah yeah, of course, they used the "combat boxes"... dammit LeMay, tho makes sense; the were flying so close that the gunners could communicate with gestures. -

Yeah, and for some reasons, it makes that noise only on the Spitfire, even tho, Hurricane, Defiant, Mustang, Mosquito, Hornet and many others all had the Merlin. However, let's be honest we love the merlin, but the best "liquid cooled" engine is DB 601 (and family). There's actually a funny story about the DB 601 (maybe it was a 605, but its doesn't really matter), that when the Rolls-Royce technicians examined some survivors after the war they said:" For God sake, plaese, don't damage the crankshaft because with our machines we would be able to make it again" hmm. pre-war USN the leader had the entier engine cowling of one color, and the either top, bottom and so on. However, with the war camos, they only have just a number. I don't remember if other coutries did has some sort of "leader camo or decal", i don't think so (maybe the germans had something of sort) -

and @Verblonde Yeap, no argument here. This is actually the first Spitfire i ever saw; in the documentary: "the OU-V ml407" aka the Grace Spitfire the only "issue" i have with the spitfire is the wing mounted guns; i don't really like having to work in convergence. It's okay, i just prefer having all my guns right on the nose, like on the German, the Russian and some American fighters (P-38 and P-39). tho, there's only one WW2 aircraft that is more beautiful than the Spitfire, that being:" The Swallow" (thank god some still fly) Link yeah, maybe not the best of the family due to it's limited range. In fact Gerhard Barkhorn said:"I fought against all kinds of soviet aircraft, including those sent by lend lease; i think the best was yak-9" -

same; aircraft were my passion since i wasn't even 1 year old. Warships came much later. -

Not the most exciting way to finish a grind but hey, we won, my team was competent, which is already an achievement. Celebration screenshot in spoiler Most importantly, I got Colorado (and i also FreeXP the propulsion module because i'm fine with slow BBs, but anything below 20 knots; not thanks) -

it's funny how many people always remember only the Dreidecker, while Manfred got most of his kills on the Albatros also, Lothar's aircraft should be the 7th in the row; the one with the red stripe. -

I kind of agree. Maybe Kansas is the best because tier for tier it faces the same issues of Colorado, so it gets shafted the least, but its' still horrible; i mean, why would you ever play Kansas when you can play North Carolina. The way i would have done the split is: Nevada V, Pennsylvania VI, Tennessee VII, Kansas (1920s South Dakota) VIII, South Dakota IX and Wisconsin X. plus, Standard Dmg Con; Massa heal; i wouldn't touch the secondaries, mostly to leave Massa, Georgia and Ohio some uniqueness; slightly more accurate then the main line (maybe 1.8, 1.8, 1.9, 1.9, 2.0, 2.0 sigma) but with a longer reload (i wouldn't go beyond 35s tho). It would also be time effective because: they could use the Arizona model for Pennsylvania, at least partially, without having to make an entierly new model; they just released California and they could use the model for Tennessee; changing a Alabama or a Massa model to resemble South Dakota shouldn't take long (fan fact is that South Dakota had only 8 127mm turrets instead of 10) and they could just copy and paste either the Iowa or the Missouri model for Wisconsin. Unfortunately i'm not WG Thick boy tho and btw, Yamato is acutally 4m wider.

battleship Italian battleship line proposal
wot_2016_gunner replied to Ammiraglio_Adri_'s topic in General Discussion
I didn't even ahd to check to know you're Italain @Ammiraglio_Adri_ and also, after i checked, a whale too (Warspite, DoY, Eugen, Atago, Molotov, Graf Spee, Marblehead and Siroco), which is kind of bad considering how many battles you have. The issue is that the historical ships are always going to be there and it's WG we're talking about, and they can do whatever they want. Dante, Cavour, Caio Duilio, Vittorio Veneto and maybe Caracciolo are almost surely all going to be in the tech-tree, so they kind of became repetitive to see in proposals. For the others i only ever go as far as proposing the names, for which i did "proposed" some time ago Impero IX and Italia X. Also, Littorio absolutely isn't the real name of the class; the correct one is Vittorio Veneto, because while there wasn't actually a ship that named the class (so you technically can use both Littorio and V. Veneto class without issues) Vittorio Veneto was launched first and Littorio later changed name into Italia. * Also, they can't even use Littorio because they already used it for AL Littorio. * btw, this is kind of the same issue that Colorado has, in fact, everyone calls it Colorado class, because Colorado has 45 as registry number; however, the correct one is Maryland class. because it's sistership USS Maryland BB-46 was launched first. -

The only issue i can agree with, is that those aren't USS Ranger's colors -

They did. They had different colors for different ships (pre-war) https://www.theerrolflynnblog.com/2015/12/19/warbirds-of-dive-bomber-the-big-eair-group-6/ From "Dive Bomber" The Devastators The BT-1 And my favourite: The SB2U Vindicator Oh, and the Big E is in the movie too -

Have you ever seen:"Dive Bomber", or at least any pre-war USN camos?. Btw, in this game, who the hell cares about it @ColonelPete that's a Northrop BT-1 (stll from the same movie) -

Bismarck and Tirpitz have the same rudder shift and the same turning circle. Tirpitz is just 0.5 knots slower
