Just glanced at it and saw that I haven't played in a month. I fire it up and the opening screen is TIGERCATS.

You guys don't understand how much I loved flying the F7F in Aces of the Pacific back in the day.

Well the new kill-cam for tanks is interesting.

For those who haven't seen it yet - when you die in a tank, you get a (skippable) cutscene showing where the shell that killed you hit, what it did inside the tank and what was damaged either by the shell, the resulting shrapnel/spalling or both.

For one; I found out the hard way that you can kill a Panzer IV ausf H by putting a shell into it's commander's cupola. Can't remember what it was that got me (feel like it was an SU-100 - I know it was a tank destroyer at least) but his shot went through the front of the cupola, shattered on the back of it and rained shrapnel down through the whole of the crew compartment.

Think about what it''l be like when the British and their HESH shells arrive (if ever...)

Is there a way to disable the large red annoying text that tells me to Retract Flaps constantly when i have engaged them for a reason...

So, I've taken to starting out with a P-47 when I'm flying American just so I can finish researching all the mods and replace it in my lineup with something that doesn't suck donkey balls. It's slow going; I rarely get more than 2 kills before an enemy fighter comes along and turns that PoS sitting duck into a fireball. Last night, I spent an entire match in my Thunderbolt and racked up 11 kills. And now I'm left wondering what I could have done to that enemy team in a plane that's not less maneuverable than the average brick.
