BF-109s/FW-190s feel over tiered and could go down

Ye it’s 5.7 engine overheats really bad and is underpowered without the mods but the 13mms and option for a 20 or 30mm is really nice I know it’s not unique to the k4 but it’s pretty nice

Are they that bad? I mean the 2 20mm might be a bit, the 4.3 one is nice though.

Yeah, I like it cause it has the fire power down the middle. just easier to aim. But meanwhile I do think its quite slow for 5.7 especially. I really think most of the 109s are a bit high just because their ‘statcard hp’ is high and because of over heat they actually are not.

Every single one of A5s is absolutely horrible. They used to be very good. They used to be noticeably more maneuvrable than A8. Nowadays A8 spanks them all over the place.

2x 20mm one used to be the best of the bunch, due to better speed. But nowadays A5/U2 is dead and it’s not coming back.

Well I mean I still do fine with it, just don’t dogfight anymore. It’s 4.0/4.3 anyway.

Yak-3 is 4.0 too. And it is superior in every way other than dive rip speed.
I used to do very well in A5/U2. I just don’t bother playing these since they got their flight model and armanent nerfed hard, while the opposite happened to every other 20mm in game.
I mean F4U4 is 4.7
P-51D10 (premium with performance of D30) is what, 4.3
Pyor is 4.3.
I just don’t see the point of flying A5 over any other 4.0 fighter.

Lol?
No it’s not, its one of the worst flight performance wise. The airspawn is the ONLY thing that somewhat saves it

May I understand this as you think spit5c is as the same if not better than a8?

I’d say you’re wrong… by a lot.

???

my man, go 1v1 any plane at the br in your anton 8 and find out how it goes, you can literally pick almost any other fighter.

Yeah despite the fact you think only ussr does well in props, this alone does not fix the matchmaker.

Gaijin doesn’t balance BRs based on ANY physical statistic of the vehicle. They ONLY go by how PLAYERS perform in said vehicles. A vehicle can be AWFUL but if it’s only played by decent people, it will stay up in BR.

USSR has some absurdly OP planes. Everything else is fairly balanced, of course there are some outliers, but Yak-3 is by far the scariest and most dradly plane at these BRs. Then of course at 6.7 soviets have the most OP plane in the entire game - BI, ruining entire BR bracket.

Yes, so do other nations you aren’t addressing.

Good way to admit you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Tell me, what planes exactly are more OP yhan Pay2winin’s Yak-3 at 4.0, Yak-3U at 5.7 or BI.
OK, I forgot - B7A2 Homare. It should go to 4.3 in Air RB.

I love when people claim I have no idea about Air RB. Yeah, I am an absolute Air RB nooblord, rofl.

I don’t have to compare overpowered planes with each other to figure out that the individual planes being compared are in fact, overpowered. There are many other examples of problematic planes that aren’t present in your comment. You hyperfocus on USSR planes because you have a fixation on the nation.

Well, I gave you the most blatant examples.
You haven’t provided any argument other than “you are wrong”. Which is not an argument. It’s just you wasting my time.

You seem to have a fixation on the nation. I simply mentioned overpowere planes. I don’t care if there are other overpowered planes. I would LOVE to see them fixed, but Yaks are most obvious and common in my games.

I guess I’m talking to some real Air RB champ and not random 52% WR scrub, right?

Almost fully solo btw, I have almost never squadded up.

half of the usa prop tree is undertiered alone

57% WR - that’s the problematic territory. When you think you’re good, but you still aren’t. I had stats like that too, a few years ago except I thought I absolutely sucked at this game. :D
I’m also playing solo. My last month’s Air RB WR is 73%. My avg kills per battle is 2.88 because I was suicidially testing my ability to head-on people in Wyvern (I’m still bad at it).
I’m normally not using stats in discussion but god damn, if you really want to accuse me of not knowing my stuff, so be it.

Wyvern used to be OP.
It’s not. I’m happy about it. I own one.
B7A2 Homare is OP, but can be worked around. Hope it gets boosted to 4.3 or 4.7, broken little … (I own one BTW).
XP-50 used to be Op, it’s not. I own one.
G.55 S0 used to be very good, it’s not.
Meanwhile Yak-3 received super big buff to Shvak while Mg151/20 got nerfed hard, Berezin got buffed from annoyance to absolute killer. And Yak-3 sits at the same BR as when its cannon was horrible, Berezin was just a .50 cal with less ammo and German guns had good ballistics. Oh and back then Fw 190 A5/U2 was actually decent and G.55 S0 had working flaps and J2M2 was 4.3 too.
See the problem?
Everything has changed, Yak-3 remains and Pay2winin’s Yak-3 is very popular.
Same story with Yak-3U. It used to have mediocre guns. Now it’s very good in gun department. BR stays the same.

Depends. P-51H is a goddamn menace. But it plays in a bracket with BI, so guess what…
F4U4B, F4U4 can be worked around effectively.
Same with F2G, I have won dogfights against those in Fw 190 F8 multiple times.
P-51D10 is undertiered and should go up.
XP-55 should go up, indeed forgot about this one. I own one and would see it at 5.0 due to insane maneuvrability and armanent. But it’s kinda rare, luckily.
