On September 15th, 1940, the Luftwaffe performed its largest air attack on Great Britain, wanting to destroy the Royal Air Force. The Germans sent 620 fighters and 500 bombers to London, hoping to draw out and defeat the RAF. And yet RAF pilots held off and in the end downed twice as many enemy aircraft as the Luftwaffe did. Having failed in the sky, Germany scrapped its plans of invading the UK.

From September 15th (12:00 GMT) until September 19th (7:00 GMT)

General consensus seems to be that the D-12 is better at "extreme" altitudes than the D-9... A lot of people basically just say to pick whichever one has the armament that you prefer.

IIRC, the MG131 has similar enough/exactly the same trajectories as the MG151/20, so you don't have MiG-15 issues, even though the D-9 has a mixed 13/20mm armament.
For the D-12, with the 20/30 mixed armament, you can/will have "Straddling" issues where the 20's will "lead your target" and the 30's will "trail" your target, and nothing will actually hit your intended target.

My vote is D-9 & keep moving up the tree without the 12.

Golden Bay is a new location for naval and aircraft battles, which is coming in the Drone Age major update!

A narrow strait between a bay and the open ocean becomes a new arena for naval and aircraft clashes! Boats and patrol ships glide in the labyrinth of cargo ships and oil tankers, huddling in the bay after the firefight begins. Meanwhile, big ships are rushing the bay from the sea, leaving a majestic giant suspension bridge behind.

The new location, Golden Bay, was created based on the coastal features of the San-Francisco area with a picturesque view of the bridge over the straits. The land part of the location was inspired by the green hills and rocks to the East of the bay.

I think you could say, "Russian Bias? A whole bucket load!"

Jokes aside, I think it's one of a few vehicles I unlocked/bought many, many, many years ago... There was nothing wildly special about (Other than being a KV, with an 85mm gun), and I was killing KV-85's with such ease that I didn't want to use it.

I might say that time has not done the KV-85 any large favors. I think most people immediately pass it over for the T-34-85 (Same gun, 0,3BR higher, but much more friendly handling characteristics), or if they really -must- have a heavy tank, they will pass it over for the IS-1.

Ultimately it is a heavy tank whos armor is largely inadequate.

Until 20:00 GMT on the 15th of August - get a gift decal “Approved by Wiki” with the purchase of Type 74 mod G/Kai Pack.

Type 74 (G)
The Type 74 was only the second tank created in post-war Japan. But it was made well: the first model was produced in 1975, but thanks to new modifications, it remained in use for many years. G is the ultimate modification of Type 74, and also the final.

Why? It’s all about the money: state of the art equipment costs a fortune. Judge by yourselves: a powerful 720 HP engine, side skirts, a thermal imaging system, and a laser rangefinder!

But the coolest feature of the Type 74 G is the hydropneumatic suspension. Thanks to it and the two-plane stabilized gun this tank is well suited for a sniper role: carefully peek ... Read more
