It is not, I explained a thousand times, you simply ignore all arguments and bring up the same point over and over.

You can think of it however YOU want. Doesn’t mean you’re right.
Most planes in GRB are fighters, btw.
It really is. The Top Speed is abysmal for 8.7 standards, let alone 9.0.
The acceleration is even worse than the unupgraded M60s, which is a hard thing to achieve.
The reverse speed is okay but also not great.
Still doesn’t really substitute for a large first stage.
When your plane is half the size of the rest, it better explode.
I’ve used Shvaks quite a lot, and while I agree that they can be rather inconsistent, you can afford to take steady and well-placed shots in the BI.
Pilot snipes and engine shots work fairly well, and 90 rounds would be enough for at least 2-4 consistent kills.
On such a great platform? A great BI player would be averaging a 2 KPS or 3 KPS

That stick close to the ground, focus on strafing and bombing?
That tank battles also has a population of fighters (I suppose i’ll have to trust on that one again) doesn’t mean their line of thinking is the same. Even a lot CAP players are mainly used to fight opponents with significant energy or awareness disadvantage.
You could “corner” a BI-1 at sea level and dive on it. What does the BI-1 do? turn under you, point it’s nose 20 degrees over the horizon, throttle up, Leave.
Any other plane? Dodge and pray that the opponent bleeds all energy, or headon and gamble both heads.
Look at the entire thread, graphs, screenshots, stadistics, comparisons.
BI-1 is simply too strong for a prop to face on the regular.

Own or have experience in battle with BI.
I thought you mean “fight it like a goddamn lot”, because that’s my experience.
Of course I don’t own this thing. But I have spent hours testing it in test flight, just to be sure I’m not bullshitting anyone, lol.

Well flying it in a test flight is not the same as flying it in battle.
And I kinda figured you all got it by me starting it off by saying “Do you Own it / have experience in battle with the bi”
Context clues.
Well, if you are smart, it is.
If you’re not, well, no amount of experience will fix this one.
That’s how intelligence works. You can extrapolate upon data and learn from observation of others.
It’s almost like magic.

I’m glad I’m not the intelligent one who picks up on context clues.
And again, no, being “as intelligent as Steven Hawkins” will not give you an experience.
I can tell you first hand, experience trumps a degree.
That’s why in the USMC the higher enlisted are treated with more respect than Officers.
Seriously, stop.
There is no depth to BI, other than how to handle throttle and ontrols lockup. Neither is some ground breaking super complicated unique mechanic, as F4U4B f.e. will lock up heavily past 600km/h too.
By your logic US soldier with combat experience using M4 is a worthless piece of trash when handed M7 rifle, because sure as hell people can’t adapt and use their brain. Nooo, if one learns to shoot M4, they can’t hit a broadside of a barn with a new rifle without a lot of training, furthermore, they magically lose all of their combat skills.
Your thinking is thinking of a man who has trouble learning simple things or extrapolate from data and past experience. You suspect everyone else faces the same issues.
Nope we do not.

Test flights don’t even come close to PvP matches.
OH MY, if only I had some experience in PvP matches…

And how many of those are in the vehicle in question?
0? Then no, you don’t have any experience with how the BI-1 plays in PvP.
He claims that he knows how the BI-1 performs in live matches, because he knows it from the test flights, claiming that it is entirely the same.
He is for example completely ignoring the fact that it has to spend ~80% of its fuel before coming close to any enemy in a PvP match and that, unlike in test flights, the fuel is not unlimited.
Before long, this aircraft is a glider in PvP.

lol are you pretending we don’t know you can cut the throttle? dude scroll up

Please point out, where I said that.
All I said was that test flights are not the same as PvP matches.
And extrapolating data, blabla, it still spares you the need to split your focus, enemies hold still for you, don’t shoot back.
Guess what? In a test flight any bomber can shoot down all ai targets with ease and drop its entire bomb load on target.
Now, what does that say about how bombers work in PvP battles?
You know you can use limited fuel in test flight too? The plane at 50% throttle still outperforms everything. Regarding guns - in Yak-3U I am currently firing 6-8 round bursts and scoring kills, as a single shell is oftentimes enough.
So I’m confident in BIs ability to kill multiple planes no issue.

from playing it in both air RB and ground RB i ask one question: what does it do against an enemy going and staying at speed of 800+ km/h? and there are more than enough jets at 7,3/7,7 that can already go that fast. the BI has basicaly the same problem as the maus: hard to balance. Put it lower than 6,7 (which would be wrong) and it can dominate. but put it higher it has to run down jets it never can catch and just bleed its low fuel and low ammo amount. reading “warning wingrip speed” while the jet in front runs from 900m to 1,5km distance is just no fun
Who at 6.7 “goes and stays” at 800?
Me-262 is going 500 maybe after doing 2 turns. Same for He-162.
It’s better for BI to slightly underperform at 7.3 or 7.7 than for everyone else to suffer.

I say for asb: 7.7 - under the german and japanese rocket planes and co br with f2h and horten and company.
