月光の戦士 Nakajima Ki-8

In reality, the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force didn't foresee a use for the problem ridden, two-seat Nakajima Ki-8 and after completing just five prototypes, the project was cancelled in 1934.

In World of Warplanes, it lives on as a tier II premium fighter and currently the only Japanese plane with a rear gunner in the game....

この初心者は学習しています Mitsubishi A6M3 (exp)

One Japanese plane I had early troubles with in World of Warplanes was the tier V premium Mitsubishi A6M3 (exp).

The major issue for me was the effective use and timing of those big 30mm cannons. Not only was I willing to give it another honest go, but I have also decided to try something I don't normally equip my planes....consumables.

All is explained in the following....

For The Second Time In My Life: Spitfire V DB 605

For once, I am at a loss for words, good thing I cover for this in my video....

Thanks trikke!

Krazy Hien: Kawasaki Ki-61

Like many other players from long ago, I had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Imperial Japanese Army Air Service aircraft to World of Warplanes.

For far too long, all that was available was offerings from the Imperial Japanese Navy line (not that is a bad thing), with a few premiums sprinkled in over the years. Perhaps my patience finally ran out, or my interest had waned enough to not be overly enthusiastic when they finally arrived.

Granted, I managed to pull myself away from other projects and areas of interest to causally dabble with a few aircraft of the Army line, only to stop at the tier VI Kawasaki Ki-61 and then, I wandered off again.

Perhaps, I should see if I can re-spark that cold flame of lost enthusiasm....

Near Ruin Over Rome: Messerschmitt Me 1099B-2

Although it was my intention to try and fulfill a promise to LMG from the World of Warplanes North America forums to give the ground a good shake in his month long absence from the game, my tier IX Messerschmitt Me 1099B-2 battle took on a mind of it's own with an unexpected result....

The Odd Humor Of Fate And Luck

So, it's the day after picking up a tier VII North American Mustang P-51K to top out my Chinese line in World of Warplanes.

Naturally, as with a lot of people having something new, I was....giddy to take it out for a flight or two. Turns out that two was needed to collect a victory. The first battle was an epic facepalming event that I was merely another target for the enemy team to toy with. Needless to say I didn't bother with screenshots (nor a video) to keep a record of just how bad things went for the good guys. However, the second battle was a lot better overall, but still a bit lacking in the personal results department.

In the grand scheme of things, coming in second isn't so much a bad thing, but I am disappointed the results weren't more favorable to how I perceived the battle.

If I was to end my session, especially with Chinese themed aircraft, taking the tier V Tomahawk IIb seemed to be the right choice to make. Since I got a good warmup with the Mustang, how bad could things get with the Curtiss?

You would have a hard time convincing me that Lady Luck and Fate didn't conspire to prank me today.

中国战争小马 North American P 51K

With World of Warplanes holding a Victory in Europe event, I saw they were handing out discounts on both tech tree and premium aircraft.

Since the one I have been eyeing up for a very long time was finally on sale, I decided to make a video of it, from purchase with my banked gold to the final results of the first battle with it (including a few mistakes along the way)....
