Wait... How did you get 4 seconds of battle time

So I recently started playing on my Mac, but I can't find the screenshots taken in-game.

Anyone who knows where to find them?

So I had a habit of typing things such as "DAAAMN YOUUUU" or something even worse in the chat when an enemy shoots me down successfully without sending it..to vent. Sort of.

I accidentally sent it today.

Good thing it was practically the end of the battle at the time.

Does War Thunder have rules against profanity in chat?

In other news, a few of my friends and I tried making a big formation of PBYs (well, three of us, all told) because I thought it would be good to fly together to combine the fire from our turrets to survive long enough to actually take out bases and such. It ended disastrously. A hotshot hurricane pilot came up and knocked me out in the first pass, while me friends eventually flew apart and each got killed in their own separate ways, albiet much longer after I bit the dust.

Bombing needs reform. Bombing needs more reform than the Catholic Church did in 1505. Bombing is in dire need of fixing...

Yup, but thats not even offensive compared to other thing i have seen...

And the bombers thing is much more about lack of control of your paths and the fact that PBY's are not so "stronk".

well, right now, bombing is so difficult to pull off, and you don't get rewarded very much for it, certainly not as much as the fighter jockeys get for air-to-air kills. Also, unless you can manage to get either an escort or a huge formation, you will get shot down every time. I rarely live long enough to bomb a base a second time in Arcade, or to return to base and rearm in realistic. Of course, I may stand a chance now with the Ju-88, but somehow I doubt it.

Eh, some War Thunder veterans think otherwise. They think bombing is OP and they should be getting less value since "bomber plebs" have such an easy task and get a lot of RP for it.

I do agree that some planes really need fixing. Like the B-17. Hell, it has armoring like it was made out of tissue paper..

Although yeah, i barely get a chance for one bombing run before being shot down by an IL-2 or Yak-Nein.

Most of the early bombers are barely defended, i would stick more to ground attackers than dedicated bombers because the attacker usually have a bigger chance to defend itself Example: Il-2 series and Me 410 B6/R3

Which ones are you talking about?

There effectiveness depends on how how you fly it some of the things called bombers should be used low altitude like for example the PBY-5 or the SU-2.

I doubt it, the early bombers are practically defenseless.

Well, from what I was told, the Ju-88's greatest defense lies not in its guns, but rather in its speed. However, many fighters can still catch up with me anyway. Maybe I should push for the SM.79 (is that right?), because it seems to have both speed and guns.

Oh well, at least I can dive bomb with the Junkers.

The De Havilland Mosquito was made out of wood, and had no defensive armament, and yet it performed well.

The Italian 12.7 are no where near as effective as someone would expect so don't rely on them. Personally I haven't had a lot of experience with the German bomber line however I have not enjoyed the Breda-Safat machine guns.

Well, in other news, I've played the Bf-110 so well (either that or just for a really long time) that I got a new skin for it!

Red diamond and beer mug victory marks sold separately.

Lucky you. Right now I'm not hesitating at all to replace mine with some He 51, even though I just got mine.

Wait... Are you saying you replaced a Bf-110 with an He-51? But why? If you know how to use it, the Bf-110 is more than a match for any plane in its tier, and sometimes even able to tango with planes above its tier.

Not really, but I've performed better on other planes than the Bf 110. There are some lucky times when I do get decent kills with it:
