  • The Me 163B is one those vehicles that people know not to tangle with in a dogfight. It has incredible maneuverability, firepower, and speed - plus, it's extremely smol (and will dissolve its pilots).

      @@deremjool8043 An excellent question, one that I had never considered. So many things we accept as fact while not always asking why we believe it. Now that you ask, I can only recall seeing it in comics. (In this case, Calvin and Hobbes where he saves up cereal boxes to win one but it ends up being a cheap plastic piece of junk. One of the best comics I've ever seen since it taught me to temper expectations with more realistic thoughts )

    for the 30mm mk 108 aim a full secend of bullet travel time ahead of the enemy for every 500m distance ( 2 secends ish at 1km depending on speed and reletive direction of travel with both your plane and theirs)

      Just do not fire until 400m ffs. I do that in Me262s, true but 163 just does not have any ammo for trying that stuff. Not because you cannot aim, but because it is like getting shot at by Ostwind... while flying at 1km XD (good players will always dodge this sht)

      @@draytonkk I'd take nothing but universal on me262s. Stealth is not exactly a good choice when you have enough ammo to see correct any under or overlead (or you can just spray around, that works too..). Stelath also nullifies some excellent shooting patterns with certain aircraft but those do not exist on mk108s obviously..

      @Aslaan S. They climb and glide very well, so to save on fuel for the battle, I start with a steep climb and then put the throttle on 50-70% depending on the BR. I dive on players that aren't playing attention, or if there's a big furball happening, and use my maneuverability to stay alive (you have to be very aware of your surroundings when you do this, especially in an uptier when your foes have better missiles). Don't leave your throttle on at 100% the entire time, only do it to keep your speed up during long turn battles. You can maintain ~600kmh at 30-40%, and you can go from one airfield to the other with just a minute left of fuel if you do this, since fuel usage drops rapidly when you lower the throttle. I might post a video of a good game soon

    • @Tankenstein
      @Tankenstein  Год назад +3

      While the tips and tricks may not be verbal in the video, I at least try to show how I'm successful in it. In short, I would recommend using your speed and acceleration to get to 3-5k meters to start the match, but only by keeping your throttle on 70% or so at max. Then, boom and zoom enemies, picking them off while using your superior agility.

    tell me if this is a good idea but
    they should add something to the me163
    that was used
    and it took out a lancaster
    it was 10 single shot 50 mm cannons pointed upwards
    that were mounted at the wing root
    and the way they fired
    was with a photocell
    which would detect a change in brightness
    and fire the cannons
    after a cannon was fired
    it'd use the recoil to jettison itself from the rocket craft
    making it recoiless
    in a way
    the idea ofc
    was for the 163 to swoop under a bomber
    and the cannons would automatically fire at it's belly thx to the change of brightness

    World of Warplanes is not so bad... if you want pure arcade. I play Arcade in this game but like you said, this is like sim compared to that. But if you really want a pure arcade flight game (Yeah we can not even call it a sim really) then give it a try. It is free. You get a pretty quick feel for how much of an arcade game it is after a quick try.
