Bf109s and FW190s are the worst experience i've had in this game

ig we just have fun doing different things

a lot of people playing props are either sweats and seal clubbers or complete idiots that dont know how tho play the game
i totally agree

at least it at 6.3 (i think) and not at 5.7 like the LF mk-9 or the Yak-3U
but yea planes like that are the reason i dont play superprops anymore

Yeah personally I enjoy 9.0-11.0 a lot more, many more different playstyles to pick and lots of fun and unique weapons like the AA NORD to try.

Should be 6.7 but that will never happen, I also have no idea why the 152H is higher than the LFMk9/Yak3U.

at least its not at 6.3 like the 152C(idk why it is there)

Ta was great back when:

  • airspawn was rare
  • the only cannon with similar power to MG151/20 was AN/M2, while Shvak was fluctuating from bad to good (but still a bit worse), and Ta could survive a hit or 2 with no drama.

This meant Spit Mk IX LF had like 10% chance to win a head on, so they dodged.

Also this made Yak-3U nowhere near as powerfull as it is right now.

Back when in some matches I was THE ONLY fighter on my 6-man team, it was still so much more fun to play.

Currently everything 1-shots and Yak-3U, Re.2005 VDm and Spit Mk IX LF just clown on you.
Damn, I’m playing Do-335B2. It weights around 8,5-9 tons. Just lost my entire wing to a SINGLE 20mm Hispano HE shell.
So yeah, everything is paper, Ta is big, doesn’t climb and is badly armed. GG.

Gaijin must hate Germany, so let’s praise the Soviets! Ураааааааа! Fuck!

Yeah the 109’s are shit. So are the 190s but they are technically not even fighters from what i remember. The f2 seems to be the worst in my opinion as even with upgraded cooling it overheats so fast so you can’t stay in wep for longer than like 45s.

I’m pretty sure the Bf-109 gets stronger once you reach G6 (I fly the Fw190, so I don’t know the details)

Oh, but I have flown the K-4 before. It’s a great aircraft.

Again, in game modes without mouse aim instructor limits the 109s feel awesome to use. The 109 F-4 is my most flown aircraft and the F-2/F-1 aren’t much different just worse guns (but in exchange F-1/F-2 turn better ever so slightly at low speed (radius, rate), but F-4 accelerates faster. Difference seems to be in range of “user error” though.)

For overheating I just… don’t use WEP until I’m in a dogfight and then drop 47%/47% to 63%/63% to 75/75% (depending on map temperature) water/oil. Additionally, use 100% throttle only when expecting combat but drop down to 1.1 ATA (I can never remember the percentage) when I am not climbing or think I am mostly safe. By not running combat power constantly, the engine gets a nice buffer to run WEP for possibly even a 3-4 minute long dogfight without dying.

Petition gaijin to adjust instructor limits for 109s so that the mouse aim pointer can pull enough AoA to deploy the leading edge slats. Said instructor limit really does transform the 109 Fs from being the most fun 109s to… limited fun.

Well, should just be bug reported. Why should the instructor limit the capabilities of the plane?

I turned off instructor and just pressed S and it immediatly deployed the leading edge slats and I pulled 7G.

i feel it’s a really good plane even with the high BR.
maybe it’s cuz it’s way different in GRB, but while playing GRB i was able of out-turning a Spitfire Griffon iirc.

it’s a goddamn stick, they’re wings with fuselage, not a fuselage with wings, climbs like a speedster and 2x20mm + 1x30mm is a good combo if u’re good aiming them (and the 30mm actually works and doesn’t just spawn a little bult in the enemy target).

the K-4 is amazing, the only downside is it’s BR and the 2x13mm cannons, those are so sh*t even american 12.7mm are better.

its a stellar plane but your team dies so fast youre stuck flying high and not doing much

My assumption is to prevent people entering unrecoverable stall & spins because 109s (especially G and K models while WEPing) are quite prone to departing controlled flight unless using appropriate rudder. However, I do feel even at 14.00 AOA (out of the 17.2 true limit) it should be safe for mouse aim.

Might be the reason.

finally the “types of WT players” short-format videos are true, the astronaut player exists

yeah I’d rather not play like this so I shelved it after maybe 5-10 games, and quickly moved on to the he162/me262

I completely agree—the MG131 is a pea shooter.

Instructor limits are almost always less than critical AoA limits on planes.

Spitfire, G.55S etc all end up benefitting from sim controls vs RB limits. It’s prevalent enough that SB controls are banned in RB tournaments after 10 years.

Climbs worse than 4.3 G.55 S0, which is already not the best climber at 4.3
If Ta had a single Shvak with 200 rounds, it would be a lot better armed than it currently is, as range ans ballistics matter a lot.

And 30mm can just randomly deal superficial damage for no reason whatsoever.
