    Anyone else miss the Radar Altimeter? 😄 Definitely some humble fumbling on this one since Corvus and I both have a hard time multitasking!

    Appreciate the kind comments at 40:25 man, I probably would have made more videos on the game sooner had I actually known about the community being fairly active in the forums/discord.
    As for the G4M2, the more and more I've watched videos on it, and the more I've heard people talk about it the less desirable its become. Honestly at the tier id rather fly my Tu2 (which I just got) over it. But at the same time, that doesn't mean the bomber is bad, just not for me.
    I'm just happy it isn't a Tier 7 B29C! lol
    I'm gonna keep grinding at the missions, however I think I'm going to prioritize expanding my Tech tree planes over them.
    Keep up the good work, I eagerly await some of those replays you have down the pipeline!

      Since the Betty is, for the moment, a dead end, flying the Tu-2 is far and away the better choice. From the statistics, they fly and fight in a similar way. The novelty of the Japanese bomber, plus it being a premium plane, makes it interesting. The acquisition grind isn't that bad, from the looks of it. I'm not interested in grinding it for my F2P account, but it might be worth the effort for person who thinks bombers are not boring as hell to play.

    very informative gentlemen, however picking up the G4M2 is still on the fence. I would love to try out those turret cannons, the 60 dollars is steep and I am also a bomber only when missions dictate I must use them.

    • @AytchZero
      @AytchZero  4 місяці тому

      I would hold off then. I don't plan on picking it up either. The Italian premium from last year's marathon should go on sale soon if you want to save your money for that!

      If you're going to spend that much on a bomber, go to the premium shop and get the Tier VIII Soviet bomber, the RB-17. Better value for the money.

      I was over 200m on my altimeter when my bomb blew me up (it only has a 75m explosion radius), which is what caused my confusion until I remembered that really doesn't work the same as the old Radar one did! 😄

    with the G4M2 you can point pretty much straight down in a dive and still bomb. Corvus said -50 was the limit but it's actually -80

      @AytchZero  4 місяці тому +1

      @@funnyxavier5121 If you can have good trigger discipline, I think so, yes. I try to keep my speed and energy up, which means making slashing passes on enemy planes, rather than trying to stay on their tail for a long period of time. So the extra firing time isn't as useful as being able to put as much damage into the pass as a I can before resetting. If you are going to go with the bolt carriers, I would go with the rate of fire and burst length secondaries. That would give you an extra 1.2 seconds of fire with an additional 19 DPS as well, with ultimate (but not calibrated) equipment.

    CorvusCorvax flew 10 battles in g4m2 nice , 11:30 These 7.7s don't have that range, just 20mm have that long range ,
    You say strange things 22:30 (you are worried about AA over the factory) you can go low , below 600 meters and the defense won't do anything because there are no low caliber guns there , pay attention to the optimal flight altitude, the minimum is 700 meters, so after taking over the factory, you can quickly return to the altitude appropriate for the speed , this is not a bomber for high-altitude bombing , CorvusCorvax only flew 10 battles in this plane, is laughable , he simply has no idea how to play it. All the best and I'm waiting for you to test it yourself, it will definitely be better

    • @AytchZero
      @AytchZero  4 місяці тому +1

      Ah, I see, most of the tech tree bombers utilize the same range for all the turrets, but then most are using the same gun at each position. So, yes good catch, I was wrong there. Good to know the smaller MG's are not reaching out that far!
      Fair point about Mining Plant AA, but there are enough times planes are over 600m that it's worth noting. You may not trust Corvus' opinion, but if you watch SniperSon's videos you can see even on low level bombing runs, he spends a decent amount of time in the zones over that altitude.
      As with all our videos, the goal is not to show you how to be an expert. If that were the goal, it would be much more effective to show Corvus point of view or for me to fly the plane as well. The question in these videos is for the average pilot - will they enjoy it and it is worth the money or time to grind it?
      As for me, I have no plans to buy it or grind it. I rarely play bombers. 🙂

    Not a fan. I have it in tank mode and it still is very squishy. Bombs are not powerful. Agree with CC’s analysis there

  • @naldebol
    @naldebol 4 місяці тому +1

    The Betty is not suitable to be built like a tank. If winning is your goal, it makes no sense to keep that slow bomber slow or slower.
    I think Corvus is following the bad advice of Noble Q.
    That bomber needs equipment to increase the speed.
    This game is about speed more than anything else.
    That said
    You have some choices -
    If you want a tanky bomber, don't mind the slow, then fly the B 32.
    If you want a more agile bomber and much faster bomber with only 4 bombs, fly the TU 2 (that also has the advantage of putting in the Russian special pilot, I forgot her name, that makes the bomber even more powerful ).
    If you want a fast or faster bomber with enough bomb load to cap any sector in one pass, you fly the JU 288 A.
    I don't think of the Betty as balanced.
    I think of the Betty as , Why in the hell do I really want to fly this instead of others?

    • @CorvusCorvax
      @CorvusCorvax 4 місяці тому

      Wrong. I don't watch any videos before I buy or equip a plane. I do it experimentally - and since the speed increase even with a full speed build is pretty minimal and will not gain you much, the protection build is a better choice.
      Now, if I ever find a player who plays the Betty more than any other bomber at T7 and they have a cogent argument for a different build, I'll consider it. But for plonkers who fly only the meta, and only in flights? Their advice is fairly meaningless.

      You do it experimentally.
      Right.
      By experiment , you mean, you hardly play the game at all.
      You play bombers even less, or almost never.
      You are making assumptions without knowing much about the subject matter and you are lacking any significant experience flying bombers.
      But go ahead, make your decisions on the virtually non-existent experience playing bombers, and even less, playing bombers with success over a stretch of a significant number of battles.
      So the game is about destroying sectors or capturing them and the planes that thematically fit that concept the best or among the best are bombers.
      You call doing that stupid ? You think is a bad way to try to win?
      That's the purpose of the game, to destroy or capture sectors.
      I am just playing the game and do my part to win.
      I have been playing the game only ONE YEAR, Corvus, just one year, not two, not 3, not 6 years like you have (at least)
      I still fly other planes and still practice as much as I can as well.
      But one thing I won't do is go offering advice on UA-cam about how to fly some light fighter in what could be the best way since it is the type of plane I have the least experience flying myself . I would simply suggest to the video creator to ask someone else, but not me.
      Some things , for you Corvax, would be best if you defer to players who actually have vast experience, especially successful experience in flying them.
      It was nice seeing you bomb yourself and bomb your team mate. You look like you do know what you are talking about.
      Bombers is a subject far away from your domain.
      The players that perform the best with bombers, the ones I know, they all set the Betty to fly with as much speed buffs as they can get.
      But hey, you know better than players like that, right? Since you rarely play the game and you play bombers with even more rarity, let alone the issue that you are not significantly good with them.
      Corvus, long before I started flying up with my friend, I flew outside of flights.
      I reached a 70% winning percentage long before that, 7 months into the game.
      I still fly without him from time to time.
      You got a problem with players who flight up? This is a team game, not a solo thing. Right?
