BI-1 Is Pay-to-Win and needs to be dealt with

Guess you could call it the master?

the BI is the ONLY plane i cant deal with in any way at all when I fly a mk24 spitfire, meteor or hell even something like a hunter isn’t gonna be able to take it on.

It not being at 8.7 as its a infinitely better Komet is insanity.

Russia already has OP stuff at that BR in the SU9 and SU11 they don’t need the hypersonic stalinium rocket there too

I’ve found it to be very untouchable when playing the Mig-9 Late, and that’s a very well performing plane for the BR that flies better than the Su-11 in some ways. So a 6.7 is impossible to deal with in a good 7.3 plane.

Atleast dealing with Me-163s aren’t hard because they’re higher in BR (and overtiered), but they also need to use higher throttle settings to get the most out of their plane, while the BI just doesn’t.

I just had the most immaculate fight with a BI-1. Rate out of 10:

At this rate, the BI-1 will be a 5.0 plane.

Managed to find a picture of the pilot:

Somehow i feel the need to fly the He 162 and 262 A-2a. But i remembered why i stopped playing them: The BI at 6.7

So i created this:

Of course you’d say something like this since you and the statpadding clowns in your squadron abuse it all the time.

You guys are so amusing ^^

This is insane. BI cant kill Hunter no matter what and Hunter can easily strafe BI.

Because it would be playable at 8.7? Get real. You have a habit of exaggerating massively.

lol

Depending on the choices made by both planes, the BI can self-bait the Hunter into a bad situation. The BI can control it’s position and energy really well, and combined with the fact that the Hunter needs to get into position for a kill, allows the BI attempts at baiting for a safe speed range fight. The Hunter can’t change directions fast enough for it to be THAT easy to strafe the BI.
Both planes have the tools to force a stalemate against each other: The BI has vastly better maneuvering at speeds below 700 KMH TAS, and better climb, whereas the Hunter can render the BI useless by going faster than 700 KMH TAS, or getting to higher than mid alt. The winner would be decided by which pilot is better at managing energy and baiting the opponent into mistakes.

In the context of team fights, the BI would be a good asset by baiting enemies down to the deck and bleeding their speed in turns, and if the BI is ignored, it can easily 3rd party any nearby turnfight, or instantly teleport a couple of KM upwards to do the same.

Personally I think all rocket planes belong to 8.0. As a 7.0 you have the option to stay safe against the BI and Komet.

BI players should be punished by forcing them to experience 8.7 for a while, their sins are too great.

Wish I had the BI, I’d bring it to 8.7 uptiers. I’m sure they’d be a lot of fun.

The hunter struggles to drop under 700kph even if you try to. It has extremely high MER. The BI on the other hand can’t do anything at all past about that same speed due to massive control stiffening and a low ammo count.

This is an extremely easy fight for the Hunter, and an extremely difficulty fight for the BI. They should never see each other in gameplay.

It’s fairly trivial to drop speeds by forcing a spiral upwards. The BI can bullshit it’s way upwards (while sitting in the Hunter’s 2x bigger turn circle), negating the MER on the Hunter. I do agree that the fight would be a lot more difficult for the BI, as the BI pilot needs to keep track of many more things than the Hunter, but the BI does have tools to fight back with.

There is no forcing here. Hunter can take its massive speed advantage and go straight into a small climb that extends itself away. You can literally force head ons if you want and you’ll still win because your guns are 10x superior on top of your FM advantage. The hunter never has to fall for any of this crap the BI tries to pull. The BI doesn’t hold any initiative.

Now I really want to see good players enact this BI vs Hunter scenario haha

It would be like Fw 190 A5/U2 Pre-nerf vs 4.3 Spitfire Mk IX, with 1 difference. BI never runs out of energy, while well flown Spitfire eventually will end up low and slow if Fw 190 guy is setting up properly and starts with big energy advantage.

I mean, if BI guy can dodge properly, GL Hunter. But if he dodges at wrong angle, it’s over.
Hunter will be on the offensive, but IMO the fight would be super frustrating for Hunter’s pilot, unless he has some insane precogniton and can anticipate BI’s dodges.

Do you exclusively log in to post moronic takes?

As an aside I’ve never seen a squadron have so many members with dozens of dislikes each on statshark, tells me all I need to know about you and them.

should be hit with the most diabolical br raise no cap it should 8.0

Pay to win? It was free when it was released and it can be obtained for SL in lootboxes.

Completly agree, the fact vehicles so blatently over-powered sit behind a HUGE paywall is unaceptable

Wont happen as long as people like this play it:

0 score and 0 kills btw.
