Perk the WiberlWind!!
« on: March 20, 2008, 05:26:56 PM »
It's 10 times better than the Flak, which is already a great GV. today I have seen the mist kills even in one particular GV/Plane, and that was the Wibelwind. Its too good for it not to be perked.

It's got less reach than the ostie and is just as vulnerable to bombs or rockets, or high ROF guns, if only people follow some minimal tactics.  e.g. Two planes in from opposite sides, with the one that gets shot at pulling out, while the other just disables the vulnerable open turret.

It's not 10 times better than the Ostwind. If you're going to say that, show some supporting quantitative evidence that it actualy is "10 times better". 

The WW will force players to follow better tactics, and that's good.

Yes, it is ten times better than the Osti... that is, IF YOU FLY RIGHT AT IT.  Hearing people whine about the wirble tells me who's used to flying directly at the osti, strafing it with almost impunity, depending on who was shooting back.

Learn that ground fire was no joke in WW2...and 4x 20mm were certainly no joke up to around 8,000 feet.  Concentrate on better tactics... don't ask for the kills be handed to you.

Bosco, do you actually have any kills in either the Ostwind or the Wirbel? Could you honestly make a statement regarding the effectiveness of either, based on experience? I bet not.

I'd support perking the wirblewind about as much as the M4.

I love to GV and do Jabo missions vs GVs, get used to it.  Being good at one helps in the other.

It would be fair to perk the Wirbel IF they fix the views on the Osti so you can see and deflection shoot again.
