well yes, we are judging air to air combat, you need to pick the planes made for it
else 99% bombers would be below rank III
Straw manning my global KDr is funny, considering I like bombers a lot.
let’s check bombers then
its an easy metric to compare, not everything is an ill intented personal attack with a gotcha nitpick
Well if I had to estimate, prob 50% of my plane gameplay is bombers.
I’m a sucker for a B-17G I wish they were tougher like irl.
I vividly remember out dogfighting you repeatedly with a pre buff f14a to your mig29 and su27, your takes are objectively incompatible with reality.

So my take that F-14A is better than Mig-29 and Su-27 is incompatible with reality?
Okay… whatever you say.
Only fuel normalized would they probably be closer to equal.
hes calling you bad at the game
Losing to an F-14A in an Su-27 has nothing to do with skill, F-14A is just a better aircraft in 1v1s.
Given a lot of fighters are “bombers” At higher tiers, yeah, more bombers than fighters
OK.

i would have no problem with that
I can’t even test this thing as my “pilot” keeps blacking out while I’m testing out 40% throttle. Once it drops below 1m of fuel, it gets funny. Once it drops below 40s, it gets straight up scary.
He does do air combat… ish
But it’s quite few air sim games compared to G/ARB.
Spin-tendency is just… don’t pull that hard. LF Mk IX is not a newb friendly plane, it’s still grossly undertiered at 5.0.
Most fighters like to spin out (P-63, 109 G-6 (this thing will spin you if you change throttle too quickly in a turn), spitfires) if you treat them badly and don’t coordinate your turns. Some take more abuse to put into a spin than others.
Now for 6.7 and sim - it’s a dead BR ruined by Ju-288 at 6.0 and Su-11 at 7.0 and Saggi 2 at 8.0. I don’t fly anything at 6.0 or above unless desperate or by accident or if I know the lobby is free of ju 288s so I can’t comment. However in sim I feel it’d be even more powerful given the power of ambushes.
I played arcade when I first got into the game… 8-9 years back.
Then played realistic till I got to (when it was top tier) the MiG-23MLD.
And then i realized 8.0+ air realistic is crap, and begun to only play sim for the most part.
Just played a couple ARB games today.
8 kills 2 deaths.
This is set to only show statistics since jan 1 this year.
The arcade entry is mostly these.
Anyhow.
I don’t think whether or not a plane is easy to spin or not should be considered for sim balancing (unless it’s due to bugs, then the bug should be fixed).
It’s just a skillfloor which can be practiced and achieved and after that’s done, you got people dominating lobbies in their spitfire lf mk IX or similar.
Also for this.
Y’all should seriously stop being NATION mains.
You, others. Everyone.
Fly every nation equally.
Especially at rank 4 or below where they’re quick and easy to unlock (if ARB, ASB slightly more annoying due to useful actions cap and lack of skill bonus but not terrible still).
Pretty sure you can’t accuse me of being biased against russia with my top 15 planes most flown since september (and this doesnt include Il2:GB yaking around)
Select custom difficulty and turn this one off on the test flight

Didn’t even know there’s such option.
WIll do some testing tomorrow, although it’s quite clear this plane eats P-51H for breakfast.
