WIRBELWIND........The new 262

[mensa180]

If the WW is distracted they're very easy to kill.  I got 4 of them in one run, going low on the deck level with them,  Just shoot their turrets so they smoke and finish them off.  I was in a 38J.

I think it's good that there is a GV in the game that takes some tactics to kill, instead of a lone man doing it.  The ostie was threatening, but the rounds were dodge able.

[Lusche]

reach out about 4000 yards like the wirble quad 20s do. 

They don't. Not even half that range.

You can turret a WW with just about any normally flown fighter out there and live to tell the tail.

Sure you may not kill it with 4 50s but its beyond easy to wound it.

damage etc etc etc aside, its still pretty unbalencing..

if you were to count all gvs on the ground in the arena at any given moment.. i wouldn't be surprised at all if half or more weren't WWs.

and the whole "you can turret one easy with 4 50s and live:

bull &^%!  maybe if its shooting at someone else while you do it..

you go 1 on 1 with a wirble, without bombs or rockets..  you may get him, but there is a slim chance your going to survive it, much less without enough damage to send you packing.

a plane flying straight and level at 1.5K makes a nice easy target a 262 would need just alittle more leed on it.

but 1.5K is the limit for me, tracers go out alittle after that and a 2K shot isnt imposable

[Strip]

I do it all the time.

Come in from the vertical and do a little spiral to get thier turret out of position.

Easy as pie!

Dude, please don't take this the wrong way, but if you attack an anti aircraft gun with only some MGs, and you're surprised or in disbelief concerning the outcome of this confrontation, the problem isn't the Wirbelwind. This is comparable to complaining that the 110G2 should be limited, since it's really hard to HO one and not get turned into idiot puree'.

what i was going off of in refrence to trying to take one out with guns..

if im not heavy, or some friendlies helping out, im not going near one of those bastards..

[ShrkBite]

See thats why i dont use the WW's. Cause i know theres gonna be somebody on 200 whining on how good fo a shot i am. 

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

What blows my mind is how much more effective the x4 .30's on the p39D are vs. its 20mm or even 37mm cannon.
Maby its something with accuracy and total amount of lead poured on the target on any one given pass.

[Pannono]

funny story with WW
i was in Hurr IID strafing a panzer and i run out of 40mm after 3 kills
i see a WW and proceed to turret him with my .303s lol

Numbers produced dont mean anything. Go take a look at the Ostwind, Ta152, N1K2, three gun LA7 numbers for a start.

You always forget the C.205.  ~250 built.   

Numbers as I recall them:

N1K2-J: 416
3 gun La-7: ~300
C.205: ~250
Wirbelwind: 105
Ta152: 47
Ostwind: ~40

[Larry]

How about we just perk perks. If you want to earn perk points then you have to pay perks.
