The more you are in ostis and wirbls you eventually get used to both, I honestly shoot down more in a Panther tank then I do Wirbls or Ostis.

Tank guns can reach out to 1.5k (Furthest I know of a direct hit), assuming the plane is in a shallow dive or level flight, its all a matter of managing the Arc of the shell.

I would say I am a better Osti gunner then Wirbl, mainly its the range which you can touch out and a bit of luck.

I've hit an IL2 moving from left to right at 1.5k in a M4 before, can never hit at that range in wirble or osti of course I know how lucky I was to make a shot like that.

meh - GVing sucks now. I liked playing the different roles. I've completely abandoned GVing in AH. I have WoT for that.

No bomb tard to kill my pretty tank, only arty.

Nothing but other tanks. They look nice. The stuff gets destroyed when I drive over it. Yeah it was nice having a plane or two to fire my MG at, but bleh, the camping got old. Very old.

That's the main reason I quit GVing. camp camp camp camp, c'mon girls! Pitch that tent! Camp camp camp. Snipe those @$@#$@es from 2k out! Camp camp camp!

lol, you're already to tier 10, so then you should know about how they botched the numbers when doing the German penetration data.

Or, I know how to play my tank?
I have several high tier tanks. I actually find the Russian ones harder to play due to the fact they are inaccurate as hell.

The only thing I've ever had an issue with is the 15cm on the E100. It doesn't pen like it should and is horribly inaccurate for a German gun.


Other than that, I do just fine.



Hell, I'll whip out my tier 9 T34 and spank people with it too.

WOW, I never gave much thought to aiming.  I just sort of point and shoot.  Matter of fact I rarely use the gun sights, I shoot from the Commanders position most of the time, unless it is really long range and I am in a tank with zoom.

There's a time to use commanders view and a time to use the sight, commanders view is best under 2k to scan for enemy tanks, however don't be deceived, many people think they can see better in the commanders view then in the sight, which Lusche pointed out you see better looking in the gunner sight.

Key is learning to hit tanks that are moving at a speeds, and various directions, same for aircraft. I always joke 2 passes are a Charm in an IL-2, third pass generally I gave some wirbl enough practice that I end up losing a wing.
