Yak-1B.
Yak-3.
Ki-61otsu.
B-239.

USA get manhandled in low tier props. If you pick a country that normally gets matched against them (USSR), you’ll win 75%.

I’m really not sure why Gaijin refuses to do anything to balance the incredible mismatch down here, so just abuse it I guess.

I love the Bf 109 F4, love the F4U-4, P-51C10, Cannonstang (P-51/Mustang Mk Ia) and G.55 Sotto 0.
(Sim. Idk how fun in RB they might be.)

Isn’t the P-39 just better at a lower tier? Plus, I have that Spaded.

24

Possibly, I don’t play below rank 3 much due to it unfortunately not counting for tasks, so I’m not too familiar with many of those planes.

The Ki-43-III Otsu is a fairly fun low tier prop for just messing around, very responsive and easy to fly.

It has 1 37 mm w/ 30 ammo, 2 .50 cal w/ 400 ammo, and 4 .30 cal w/ 1200 ammo, plus it’s at 2.7 RB.

My personal picks:

  • B-239. It has very responsive flight performance at 2.7, handles damage like a champ, and has four 12.7mm LKk/42 which can take a full belt of incendiary bullets. Worth a try for sure
  • A-21A-3. its entirely firepower based but has four 13.2mm MGs that hit harder than 20mms and have a generous ammo pool. The nose mounted 20mm isn’t even the highlight 🤣. It’s also surprisingly maneuverable and can get its nose on target well. Flight performance is booty despite having a DB-605B engine because of how heavy it is. Lastly a ballistics computer + 600kg bomb.
  • bv238. Hear me out. I know it’s a six engine heavy bomber, but it refuses to die even if the fuselage is completely blackened out on the DM, has TWENTY SC250J and so many 13mm turrets it could reduce a B-17 to ashes.

these are my suggestions. Hope u have a good one

Bro the VB. 10-02 is overpowered. Its cannons hit hard and it flies well. It’s fast and u can spawn at a special point sometimes. Great for having fun if ur tired of the Mirage F1C but want to play France. thx so much for the recommendation it helped me out a ton! :D

If handled correctly, the French VB.10C-1 is incredibly strong.
US Cannonstang has strong performance.
French Br.693AB2 is fun to use, but you may need some time to get used to aiming that gun.
Yak-2 KABB is brain off mode.
I-225 and Mig-3-34 if you enjoy energy fighting.
Re.2005 will slap anything you can trick into getting close to you.
B7A2 for an airspawn turnfighter.

Yeah such a unique and fun prop
The armament is indeed insane
