Shouldn’t this aircraft be the He 177 A-3/R4, not R3? Typical gaijin screwup

─It still embodies the same useless He-177 as before!
─BUT IT’S GOT A NEW MISSILE!! 😲😲😲
What the hell are you going to use those missiles for? You’re not even playing Naval.
Really, people seem to settle for so little these days.

First of all: the He177 isnt useless unless you think that all bombers are useless (Typical fighter mafia). And I really like the He177
Second: You dont know if i play Naval or not!.. OK im not playing naval but you dont know that.
Third: One could say that any Vehicle with a gimick is just the other mediocre/bad vehicle with a gimick but that doesnt mean that people arent allowed to enjoy them. I am really looking towards the missles and I’m really happy that they are being added. And you want to know why? Because im allowed to have fun in this game no matter if the vehicle is good or bad. If i wanted to only play good vehicles I would only play US Air toptier but what fun is there if im only limiting myself to a handpicked few when there are over 2000 vehicles in this game. I mean at this point why not just delete over 90%of the vehicles so people dont have to play bad vehicles? I mean even if it the missles came on any long range bomber from Germany YOU would still complain. Because YOU cant see that there doesnt has to come a new META vehicle that will dominate the rank and br its at with every Battle Pass/Event. I mean look at vehicles like the Sturmtiger, Matilda Hedgehog, RBT-5, LOSAT or Typ 75 MARS all of those arent “good” vehicles but its still nice that Gaijin added them. Imagine if Gaijin added only “good vehicles”, imagine how few vehicles were there if people like you would decide what vehicles to add. It’s kinda sad how people like you simply cant get satisfied becasue the next vehicles added arent top of the line broken who will dominate everything.
Forth: I also wish they would still have 4 vehicles per Battle pass but i think thats besides the point. IAd I also wish that some vehicles were TT instead of Battle Pass or Event. And I too am annoyed at copy paste but this isnt copy paste. If it was copy paste it would be a He177 without mislles that prolly has a special skin or even worse was just in another country like the Kungstiger.
At this point they could just remove the Battle pass and then noone gets any vehicles besides TT or the Events every now and then.

No it doesn’t. This is an A-3/R3 R4, not an A-5/R2:

Its fitted with the R4 mods, but it also includes other rursatz modifications. So is it really an A3/R4 then?
Since gaijin made a point of saying that this will carry both Fritz X & Hs 293, that makes it an R4
Four, if gaijin did their research:

Do you mind linking the source? Would really like to read it :)
Dont know if its the same source but this image from one of your previous posts states it only could carry 3, so one is wrong and the other must be corret.

The A-3/R4 or R3 inherit the same defensive armament as the A-3/R2, which is exactly the same as the current A-5. Anyway, it’s not like a 20mm MG-FF instead of a 20mm MG 151 would make any real difference. What actually would have been different is if Gaijin had chosen something like the He 177 A-1 (a more sensible option instead of the cheap copy-paste), as at least it had a ventral revolving turret and wider firing angles.

They should both have a feature where their engines catch on fire if you use WEP for too long

It also has less than half the climb rate, and can’t fire its bombs off several kilometers from the target - meaning its in danger longer when bombing and is at a lower altitude.
Whilst the plane could carry 2 under fuselage racks the ground clearance of the rear missile was minimal. Ive seen drawings but never found a pic of the double fit and it seems the standard loadout was a single plus the wing missiles.

The B-29 has a climb rate of 6.5m/s and the 177 has 8.0. That is not “less than half”. Additionally, the Hs 293 has 300kg of explosives. I’m assuming that’s what you mean by “firing its bombs off at multiple kilometers”, the insane idea of using 293s, these manually-guided, optically-tracked rockets, for base bombing. Resulting in less than a ton of payload on target at best- compared to ten tons for the B-29.
With a full load of bombs the B-29 definitely has less than half the climb rate. Also, using the guided bombs from kilometers away is safer than the B-29’s use-case, where it can’t score without getting close. Getting essentially a free ton of payload without having to be remotely close to the base seems like a massive plus.
