    Oh, you mean you went and bought more slots, but don't have enough reserve planes to fill up every slot, so some slots have higher tiered planes? I don't think there's an "empty" option.

    tier 0 and 1 planes are okay too to stay in low tiers games.

    I'm fairly sure that each nation has 4 reserve planes.

    Have you bought more slots (so you have more than 4 slots) and put a high rank areoplane in there?

    If you have the best hting you can do is get a rank 1 areoplane in there - that will slightly limit the overall rank at which you play. However, as I've pointed out before even having just three reserve areoplanes is no guarantee of being in a low rank battle - as there may be insufficient players on-line.

    Russians have 3 reserve planes.

    It turns out that it isn't the talisman that is doing that - in fact I'm really not sure what is doing that.

    I have a talisman on my Spitfire but the pilot icon is not gold as with the other ones.

    I had a look to see if it's something to do with accelerated Training but that does not seem to be the case. For a while it looked like it may have been for areoplanes where there are two lots of rewards but that also is not true of all areoplanes with it....

    I guess we could always read the game documentation - but having looked at their encylopedia there is a lack of information there.

    They have three reserve planes (I-15 WR, I-15 M-22 and I-15R) and a level 0 plane (Po-2). Do you not have the Po-2?

    I had a look in the research tree but not all rerseve planes are shown there.

    It's probably a closed beta plane or something.

    It's at the very top of the bomber tree, is it not?

    I posted a question over on the official forums (about the gold pilot icon) and got the following answer:

    For each battle you get crew xp, click 4th tab (right to your cursor) and spend points for crew. Gold is when it's hell a lot of points available

    Not sure.

    I'm fairly sure as a closed beta tester I got the Typhoon and the Tu-2.

    Makes me feel a bit guilty that all I ever did was start the game a few times and with no control just spiral into the ground a few times.... Still - musn't grumble.....

    The worst part is I was never invited to Closed Beta, so I couldn't get all the goodies.

    had a pretty lolzy match today, was in a stuka after a dive bombing and someone was on my tail, so im doing some evasive maneuvers and end up with someone coming at me from the front. Naturally since I had 2 20mm cannons (or are they still machine guns?) i flew straight at the guy, although somehow we both survived.

    The great part was that I dove under the guy coming towards me while both enemies tried to go over me and hit each other destroying both aircraft, since I had been hitting them I got two assists.

    Later that match in a different plane I got very damaged but could still fly so went back to base. Unfortunetly I was coming in too fast and the plane didnt have cannons so I tried wild S turns to slow down, except steering cut out as I was making one. I ended up hitting a tent on the side of the field, completly destroying my wings, propeller, landing gear etc. Amazingly it only took the ground crew ~50 seconds to completly repair the aircraft.

    I try to be generous with my german garage but I can't, german 20mm cannons are so ed up. It can hardly hit a fly... I give up, I'll play them again when they will have proper cannons. Don't tell me FW 190 are agreat, a spitfire MkII or a Yak does everything better for half the price and half the tier. It's really frustrating because I love the Bf 109 style...

    I'm starting to love that first Bf109, it's pretty fun to fly.

    I've sort of put my British planes aside while I catch up with the other nations but the recent patch and it's forcing all bombers to need pylons has made it very hard. I favoured attack planes in my Russian roster so now I've got the top Su-2 with all the unlocks, a useless Pe-3bis and my IL-2... which is still pretty good.
    I've been using the Pe-3 as an anti-bomber plane hahaha.

    My Japanese floatplane is useless now, as is that other bomber (I can't remember it's name but it has no MG's and 1 turret, despite looking like just a bigger zero or something).

    I've quit flying for a while, mainly for insane unbalance and German planes being a total money drain for no real upside besides the fun factor.

    Hope they fix their stuff.

    Even though my russian planes were awesome, I turned my russian garage into a reserve garage with all the reserve planes and the I-153. So when I am really upset against my high tier planes, I launch a match with my russian reserve garage, I kill ten biplans then I feel way better.

    Hmmm, I've personally been really satisfied by the German 20mm guns so far, from the Emil and the Bf 110.

    Has anyone ever seen a night battle? I was on the Two Towns map yesterday and was a little shocked to find it was a night battle.

    When you are caught in one of the search lights everything turns blue.....

    Nothing special:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    Today I was on one of the island dominaiton maps in a bomber and there was a storm going - being up in the clouds it was like pea soup up there.

    I think I may have found out why I can play this now (after a fashion) while in the closed beta I never had any control over the areoplane and it would just spin into the ground.

    I switched from 'Mouse Aim' to 'Simplified Controls' and found that I have no control over keeping the nose of the plane down. Is 'Simplified Controls' supposed to work with a joystick rather than a mouse and keyboard?

    Edited:
    Has anyone got the Closed Beta Test Decals that are shown in-game?

    I was part of the closed beta test (I have the Typhoon and Tu-2 planes in my hanger) but don't have this decal.
