wirbles and tanks

[bmwgs]

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.

I think I may stick to my method.  I seem to kill enough of the big names, so I must be doing something right.

If you like commanders view just switch to barrel site, use a dry erase pen & put a dot in the center, then back to Commanders...

The issue with that is it doesn't adjust with range. I suppose you could dial in several different ranges and mark each one, but still....

personally, i think the wirble should have a light perk.

20% because if 1 plane is in the sector of a gv base you see 20 of them on the base. but 80% because i think its overused. seems the m16/ost doesnt get nearly as much love as the wirble did. a light perk may change that and add a little variety.

Is it unbalancing to game play in anyway?

No ammount of AA can stop a suicide bombing, which is what all GV bombing devolves into. The bombers gotta get their names in lights, since they can't do it through killing other aircraft, so the GV'ers gotta defend themselves.

secret to whirbles is to zoom only half way and shoot above where you think the plane will be in about 4 seconds....that's for those 1.5 and farther shots. feels like ya gotta lead a target like 45 degrees sometimes. practice practice

Wirbs are 15 eny, while Osti 25 and M16 is 35 Eny. Those who use Wirbs dont realize it doesn't offer perks, so continue to use em.

Oh crap I don't get any perks if I use a wirble seriously? When did this happen or is this just a Butcherdonis law?
