I was about to say you now have an issue of bringing T2 planes to a BR 5.3 battle, and then I remembered you play RB so it doesn't matter. But damn, how much did you spend?
Just started this game, went Japan at first. Went USA after I unlocked it. I killed many but the maneuvering was horrible, so switched back to Japan. Great game so far, tbh
Spoiler tfw someone tries to shitpost
"Do not fear duress of any kind, even if determined or even pure; rather, fear the clout of the glaring mantle at your side, ready to conserve."
Aye that's one of the benefits of RB. You can make one OP crew and switch out aircraft. As for how much: $25 (5,000 Golden Eagles). Luckily I was already on the doorstep of Tier III, so I just got the next B-25 and then the B-17. I then got the crew maxed, (didn't get the expert qualification) and got a few other aircraft researched but not purchased cause B-17.
Max lvl gunners and pilot are fun... Targets come within 1 km and my gunners just rip into them.
I have a very different curse. I break my landing gear on touchdown. And that's the only thing that breaks off most of the time. yeah... I come in too slow most of the time so that I actually come straight down on the runway... which is bad.
