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

BI is indeed easy to frag.

I can already see the battle where you energy fought a BI and lost haha

You do know at 10% thrust it has an actual fuel time of over 1 hour and 30 minutes and at that thrust can still outspeed any prop it faces theres also the issue of the rocket exhaust still being bugged and causing it to come out at a good percentage of the speed of light for some reason at low throttle causing the insanely high fuel efficiency

BI be like

The only fully pay to win aircraft? like 90% of premiums are better than anything in the tech tree, or in the past had preferential altitude spawns, payloads, ect. Air RB is the most obvious p2w in the game with crew skills and paypig planes, and the only people who defend it are retarded or spent hundreds to not have their $40 plane nerfed.

No individual vehicle is pay to win, you can’t give a noob a very good tank/plane and expect them to perform really well.

Crew skills are the only pay to win mechanic in war thunder, because they are a purchasable advantage. They offer a greater advantage than any vehicle could give.

I said it’s the only truly pay to win aircraft because unlike any other OP premium, it isn’t just “Pay for a massive advantage”, it’s “Pay to be unstoppable”. The performance gap between the BI and the piston engine fighters in it’s BR range is so overwhelming that it is not reflected anywhere else in the game. I really can’t think of any other paid aircraft that provides the same level of advantage as the BI. It’s 130-160 kmh faster than any prop, it’s turn below about 650kmh is incredible and it climbs like an early supersonic, at 6.7 BR.

Do you want me to count out a list of 50 p2w vehicles right now? You can give a noob an IS-6 or KV-220 a test drive and he will kill six people easily.

And unlike any prop or non-afterburning jets, it will get there incredibly easily. In steep climb if they so choose

I suggest you go to the Swedish tech tree, Premium section, the one at tier 5 on the furthest right, says Pack 8.0. Thank me later.

Still not pay to win. The Vidar isn’t a godly vehicle, it’s just very good. HE can be iffy if you don’t where to aim, and it doesn’t have the armour to be noob friendly.

My point is, is that those aren’t pay to win, they’re just very good. The Is-6 has too long of a reload to be noob friendly, and the Kv-200 is easy to kill if you know where to shoot.

Crew skills are infinitely more P2W than any vehicle.

Yep, they really are. Makes a huge difference in every engagement if you have maxed crew skills.

Except if he is someone rich, spending 200 usd doesn’t mean anything. But there you have the idiot who invested hours and hours in developing the skills to finally be defeated by the newbie and you just have to accept it, he “deserves it”. He’s rich haha

Just say it, they are licking the boots of the sponsors, but don’t say there’s any integrity in it.

Sure. If you guys all think the BI is such an overpowered beast of a plane and 170 dollars is worth a 6.7 non-premium that will do nothing useful for the money, then I guess it is pay to win. I wouldn’t buy it because beyond the combat in the plane, it is useless because it’s a non-premium that costs an absolutely rediculous amount.
