Why are both B-57 8,3 BR?
Those are bombers similar to IL-28 and TU-14 but those are 8.0, then why B-57s are 8.3?
B-57A should be 7.7, it has no guns; B.57B should be 8.0 as USSR bombers.
IL-28s got a defensive turret in the butt… B-57 has none, both IL-28 and B-57 speed is 800 km/h; I cannot see reason why B-57s are higher BR than USSR bombers.
I find funny how the game put me to compete against F-100D who are using napalm and I’m with a bomber that barely reach 800 km/h diving.
I already know that GAIJIN won’t work in the BR for aircrafts, I could say they only decompress naval BR because they were forced to do it due to the big ships update, if it wasn’t for that I bet they would have done nothing… but atleast they could fix the BR of some planes.

I’d rather go with Canberra B Mk 2/B-57A over Tu-14T
AFAIK, Canberra’s acceleration is better than IL-28 or Tu-14.
and B-57B is armed with M39 autocannon.
Maybe B-57A can be 8.0 material (it is suited more to 7.7 but can’t go down because it will ruin B-29 further), but B-57B shouldn’t be 8.0
First of all, it is a compression problem which allergically ignored by Gaijin.
Secondly, napalm is overperforming and it needs to be fixed. but there is topic suited for it somewhere else in forum.
Well, IL-28Sh can have 2xGsH-23 (which is a double barrel 23mm) plus 2xNR-23 at 8.0, adding that the gun configuration of the B-57B is terrible even as a ground pounder is hard to aim when cannons are placed on the wings instead of the nose of the plane like IL-28s… Both of them aren’t fighters, so even if B-57 had M61A1 as main weapon won’t be a great advantage or change.
Well, we got TU-4 at 8.0 which is a B-29 slightly menance 'cause 23mm defensive turrets but at that BR you are hunted down by early radar missiles, some heat missiles and fast planes with 30mm that pulverise you in less than a second. If B-57A is gonna make life hard for B-29 because is 7.7. then TU-4 should go down to 7.0 just as B-29.
