Suggesting an aircraft that’s not in game already should go into the suggestions section
Oh, yes, I know, this is a translation of the post that I made for the suggestion section, in the case it didn’t get accepted (cough cough, it’s already been declined)

You just gotta wait, sometimes it takes a while, also I’ve seen people get muted for a little on the forums bc it’s technically a rule break.
If it got declined than just alter it to what they want and resubmit it
That’s why I asked a suggestion mod why it didn’t get accepted. I wasn’t joking when I said it was already declined btw.
Yeah just wait for that rather than trying to sneak one in at the wrong section
I get that, but I don’t wanna have to recreate the entire suggestion if it’s just a few things that need to be fixed, similar to what I did with this other post:
Oh cmon man it’s really not that bad
Just copy it before you submit and put it to it your notes app/folder incase it gets declined
Trust me when I say this being in the timeout corner on the forums isn’t fun.
Why would I get in trouble for posting this in the machinery of war section though? I also want feedback from other players and users, which is why I move it here while I wait for responses.
Also, got 3 posts about weapons systems that were took down last night, don’t know what that was all about. They were removed for being “inappropriate”
But if this isn’t were it belongs please tell me where or what to do with it.

If you want to keep this post up, I recommend removing the Poll and In Game sections, as well as adding some more history/pictures. After that rename it to AN-72P Technical Data and Discussion. It should be all good after that.
Okay

i thing that this aircraft is alike the Strikemaster → battlepass / Event
the fact it have an Heavy Engine Power and a large Wing Surface makes the aircraft to handle low speed far better than any 6.0/6.7 BR aircraft, coupled with GSh-23L guns which are currently pretty good and easy to use.
that makes it impossible to be in such low BR of 6.0/6.7 you’ve proposed.
Of course, the Aircraft low amount of Ground attack weapons would definelty be a drawback for Ground BR.
in facts, i would suggest you precise the following BR for that suggestion:
Air Modes : 7.3 BR
Ground Modes : 6.7 BR
as i feel those BR are fair.
While I agree, I feel like it’s too large of a target around this area, but if it was to ever get added, we’d just have to see.
Ar-234C is already a large target yet pulls incredibly well against 6.7/7.0 jet fighters - it’s already a 7.3
here we’ll got an even better aircraft overall.
i’m simply trying to make sense

Ar-234 isn’t really large…
For a bomber its kind of small (It’s comparable in size to P-47)
An-72 meanwhile was originally a transport plane and I assume it’d have roll rate (turn rate maybe as well) comparable to that of a barn
Depends, it’s got a slim wing like on the BV 155, and a low pressure zone effect from the engines to increase lift.
Fair
But still keep in mind that it is based on a cargo plane
BV-155 was designed as an interceptor
Only thing over wing engines might be beneficial for is takeoff run
Video might show some maneuvering, can’t remember though.
Well yes, the AN-72 is currently 2 times larger,…
Yet you have to account for it’s acceleration capability compared to mass:
About 24 tons(full fuel, no cargo), with 127.8kN of thrust.
→ Power/Weight Ratio of 0.53 which is better than most aircrafts of 8.3/8.7
This can only show a good ability for the aircraft at low speed (i admit: relative to the aircraft size)
But making it too low BR would make it impossible to shot it down,…
The aircraft is currently too good for it’s climb rate, as for the ceilling,… it is possible to hide from any 6.3/7.3 aircrafts and being out of range kinda easily.
Not to forget that it might have Flares/Chaffs(still in use today), and completely out of any cargo in-within the game.
And that aircraft was made for Short Landing and Take-Off and reduced speed,… means the Current stall speed is very low(so low that apart Ar-234, not a lot might be as close)

It also has no defensive turrets
As the Ar-234C, from which i take comparison, because of low weaponnary amount, and speed.
