in 3-5 BR and 5-6.7 BR brackets I feel flying even if my plane is on the bottom of that rotation’s bracket, I am still within relative performance capabilities of air craft present and what advantages exist can be compensated for with some difficulty and thinking.
Tried to do korean war brackets with my F2H-2 (7.7-8.7, 8.0-9.0). Now, it’s only been a few flyouts (so part of it is definitely a skill issue) as it’s insanely expensive to fly (15k to spawn…) but I feel being on the bottom of a bracket hurts way, way more in these tiers. In essence, it feels like everything out-speeds me by a good 200-300 km/h and I’ve no hope of catching anyone even if I’m flying ~850-900 km/h+ with my wings fluttering.
The A.I bombers/attackers also seem to outrun me with ease.
Edit: I discovered by the A.I bombers/attackers outrun my 8.0 F2H-2.
They’re Cl13 sabres.
Why.
Why is there a CL13 sabre in a 7.3-8.3 bracket. Like sure, they’re a.i and don’t really fight back (but I actually saw them shoot down the sk60 on my team), but like… how is an sk60 supposed to catch them. How is a f80 supposed to catch them. How is an F2H-2 supposed to catch them?
Only reason I caught them was because they derped out and started flying in circles so I could cut them off.
I got excited that you wanted to downtier the Vampire and Meteor, since they are overtiered. I honestly think they messed up the BRs so terribly, that it’s going to be very hard to set it back right. Especially after this recent update where they decided Britain and Japan needs to go up 0.3+ BRs because people turn fight in P-51s.
I don’t know, 8.0 Meteor should go down as well, except maybe the Israeli one, but that’s just because of the radar.
But yeah, the MiG 15s and F-86s should definitely go up, the problem is, how will we move the rest of the tech tree? I don’t really think the MiG 15 will fare well against more F-104 spams (the ability to turn fight doesn’t mean jack when the F-104 just needs to fly straight).
Also, the Swedes already have a 7.7 Vampire, not sure why that one specifically is 7.7 while the foldered one is 8.0, minus the bombs.
Right, the Meteor is fast. Maybe faster than props, but I still get outsped by Sukhoi. Also, the only reason I said the radar thing is because I just know some random tw… person will come in here and be like, “but the Israeli one is more advanced, it gets a radar!” and I would rather just debate you on this, rather than some guy crying technology = uptier
May I ask your experience on the Vampire and Meteor? I absolutely love the jets, but the only time I’ve ever found use was in 1v1s, pubs are moreso, I spend half the match getting there, and then the game ends
I’m well aware I can turn fight, the sucky part is that nobody turnfights the Meteor and Vampire. It is like everyone knows not to do that, but then I will look to my right and see some F-86 trying to turnfight a prop.
Eh true, but nah, I don’t dislike you in the slightest. I disagree with you in some stuff, but disagree is not dislike. Maybe my issue with the Meteor is moreso I get jumped by three guys or I never see anyone, with the rare exception I am allowed one elim.
