I don't know what I'd do with 10,000 eagles, even if I hadn't already used some to bump up my crew stats.EDIT: Even after buying the Premium planes I'd like, I'd still have 2300 eagles left

I have 6400 left to spend 
I'll probably pick up another Russian premium and a low tier Brit or two (Havoc might be fun, Boomerang is highly recommended).
Already bought the 20mm Ishak, the American Spit 9, and 600 lions worth of crew advancements or so. The Typhoon B is freaking brilliant. 700m stealth ammo snipes is quite entertaining.

I actually got all 50 kills against other players with the BF110 yesterday, and 28 kills with the Hurricanes on Saturday. Made nearly 1.5 million lions 
Also took most of both days :s The event was fun, it was a nice change from the regular Battle of Britain map (which I still ended up on once!) and escorting the HE111s was pretty fun. Although its a good thing the Germans were encouraged to fly BF110s because they have a tonne of ammo and we had nowhere to land!

The Heinkel 112 A-0 also has a ton of nose-mounted ammo
I scored four kills, two spits and two hurricanes, for only two losses yesterday. Add in another four or five AI planes (hurris and biplanes) if you want, but I don't really count them.
Full Real is such a sense of accomplishment, like achieving previously impossible with KSP but far better. Love.
Unfortunately without such an event as the BoB, spotting never seems to work out and I just fly around for 20 minutes before being shot at and killed.
Indian Summer event is going on now, with enough kills you get free lions and after a certain amount receive a free gift premium airplane. I'm going for the Ko Reisen

Don't die on me, thread
Ammo rack explosion
Seems too arcadey.
But then again with planes flying overhead dropping massive bombs and large maps you would need to tanks to move around quickly.

Its arcade mode, they haven't shown what HB and FRB will be like yet but they are supposed to play quite differently.
Sadly I'm not expecting any Red Orchestra level of awesome tank battles, but hopefully it will at least good enough.

I can only imagine the rage on the WT forums if the starting tanks moved as slow as WoT's starting tanks. "So yeah, took ten minutes for me to make contact with the enemy and then a dive bomber got me."

Hm. Some of my friends from school recommended this game to me and it seems pretty good actually. Been trying out the Japanese line of planes to start but I get the sense that most of the good Japanese planes don't come around until a bit later into the game.

The Hayabusa is very good, amazing maneuverability. It doesn't have much ammo though and, like most of the Japanese planes, is highly flammable and doesn't withstand much damage most of the time 
But the trick is to outmaneuver the enemy and not get hit regardless of what plane you are flying anyway.

I'm only rank 4 (almost 5) so I don't really have a lot of planes. I did like the Hayabusa, but it was amazingly fragile without being fast and maneuverable enough to just be like a Hurricane or something. I found it was only really effective for the short time that the 12.7mm guns were better than average. I've been mostly using my Ki-45 ko since I unlocked it, as it has greater firepower and slightly more damage resistance. Allows me to make a few more beginner mistakes than the other Japanese planes seem to. Well. Except the H6K4. But that's...it's own thing.
