Not in any meaningful capacity from what I’ve seen.
It can dive throttled down, and it will kill you if it wants. You can only not die if you are faster, which is only a thing at 7.3+.
More common than almost every other rare event plane, and they are always utter cancer to fight. You simply cannot kill it unless you are in a headon, or you force it to run out of fuel. Neither of those will happen if a semi competent player is flying it.
Why are you defending a plane you don’t own anyways?
i didn’t say i was defending it, i was just saying it haven’t seen it anywhere so it doesn’t look like a serious problem to make a whole topic about a simple rocket-propelled plane. that assumption of urs is quite dumb.
Trust me it only takes a couple interactions with the stalin rocket to realise its insane for only 6.7 when the komet is 8.3 (while being worse)
then move it up to 7.0/7.3.
btw i don’t own it, but im pretty sure P-51H and Spitfire Griffon are way better than the BI at 6.7.
it would be impressive if it had better maneuverability than a 6.7 Spitfire.
It would still kick the crap out of those jets tbh, it can pick and choose what to kill all the way until IR missiles start appearing.
8.3 or 8.7 is where it’d still be picking and choosing its fights but its gonna eat a sidewinder if they choose wrong
More practical maybe, but in the moment of the actual fight the BI is far better.
its a BnZ plane, that you cant stop from being in a position where it can BnZ perfectly.
pretty sure it would just barrel roll the sidewinder due to it’s small size, lol.
probably, but that means they cant just go vertical to escape all the time, plus if they are 8.7 they will see SRAAM, which will put them back in their lane real fast.
Insanely bad more like for an “op” plane.
You don’t have it, and have no experience in it.
It’s 20mms are pretty crap / it’s belts.
It’s speedy and small are its pros.
You can’t even out turn that Brit early jet that was in a BP awhile ago, which is the same br, with better all around armaments

90 rounds for 2 cannons isn’t a lot there pal.
Pretty much everything you face has 3x or more ammo, and I don’t play on pc, so it’s not a point and click adventure for me, so I’m not on easy mode like you :)
It’s enough, and it’s a better armament than the 60rpg 30mms that the Me-163 gets. Plus, shvaks are actually good at the moment.
this kids trying to say a jet provost is as OP of a fighter as the BI lmao
I got this plane in the original event & I don’t think I’ve ever played it!! Perhaps I should try it some time!!
You could always leave it another 2 years, doesn’t look like Gaijin is moving this blatantly undertiered plane any time soon.
True - there’s obviously no hurry :)
honestly pretty sad, there’s actually fun and cool planes but why should I be surprised by this games utterly toxicity
Players making the most of the tools they are given by the great snail is hardly toxic!
