I never said there was any integrity in it or that is was right/wrong, just that if someone is willing to spend that much for such a low value vehicle then they should get something out of it. I don’t know who would want it for anything else than killing people in it because it doesn’t really earn you anything extra from a tech tree vehicle in the long run.
How much I’m drooling over the condensed firepower all in that beautiful T-72 chassis…
Double the firepower, double the fun.
If I remember correctly, that 30mm gets an IRST tracker from the commanders sight, just makes it that much better.
You have zero (0) idea what you’re talking about and you’re bad at the game… stop typing please. This is the 9th time I’ve caught you talking about shit you have zero idea about in a week.

Thx for ignoring the whole “if u have the alt” part.
BI can just loop anybody it comes across regardless. If you dive, cool, he just kills you later and kills your teammates now.

I’ve fought the damn thing, and it’s currently broken, because it’s fuel usage/power ratio is messed up right now, so you can run 20% throttle, and still get output like it’s a prop craft in WEP, but when it wasn’t messed up, it’s no issue to fight, unless, like I said, is satelliteing, and I’m playing the SK-60 for gods sake. If you want to pull stats, I’ll throw a bone to make it easier to criticize a “good” to “above average” player.
You are changing your tone from earlier, and the OP is complaining about props clearly if you read the OP
Okay, and it’s more common to fight when playing early jets…
If you’re playing the spitfire Mk.XXVI, yeah, I wouldn’t expect you to do good against a BI, let alone something like a Komet. (Messerschmitt 163)
To be completely fair and honest, the Spit Mk.XXVI has a better acceleration (0-270 kmph) from the airfield compared to any jet in the BR other than the possibility of a Meteor being in the lobby, and usually faster than a rocket propelled fighter.
That why i said bait him down, if he is competent then yea ur basically powerless, the fun part is most of the BI i have fought are tunnel vision af for some reason.
Best tactics for fighting them is just to keep your speed high (above 600-700 kph) and make them waste ammo or fly with a wingman and have him do that while you bnz.
??? He’s complaining about props, doesn’t matter about how common you think it is to see
Also, your comment about acceleration is almost completely non-sense. Yes, different aircraft have different acceleration on takeoff. An I-15 will beat a MiG-15 off the ground. Does that mean the I-15 has better acceleration? NO! Obviously not! Because the MiG-15 will have an acceleration curve that makes it better than the I-15 past like… 200kph.

Ok, that is what is being complained about here. The OP has ran into this issue. I have also ran into this issue in the past as have many others.

A spitfire Mk.XXVI (RR Griffon) puts out 2100HP in WEP mode, with a 5-bladed propeller, I’m sure puts out an absolutely massive about of KGF, compared to the BI-1’s measly little 1,121 KGF.
Acceleration is everything, but the BI-1 can sustain speed better. The Mk.XXVI is going to still out-fight a BI-1. The MK.XXVI has an 8 second turn time, compared to the BI-1’s 23 second turn time. You can’t outrun it, but you can out-turn and gun it. Give me a full list of 6.7 propeller aircraft and I could give you a full report on the ability to fight the BI-1 off of performance alone.
You said you’ve run into this issue before, what plane were you flying when fighting the BI-1 in question?
I’d like to mention the Spitfire Mk.XXVI will indeed out-accelerate the BI, and will also get off the ground before it, I’m not talking time to wheels up, I’m talking speed. Not top speed, the acceleration time, to an equal set speed, I’ll say 270KPH for the sake of what I’ve said before.
The acceleration of the BI to any speed from any speed is going to be overwhelmingly superior to the Spitfire Mk 24(also “XXVI” is 26, XXIV would be 24). In fact, I would risk a guess that the BI has better acceleration in any range between 0 kmh and 800 kmh IAS than any prop in the game, or any jet in it’s BR range, except maybe the rocket-boosted Me 262 C-1a.
As speed increases the BI’s advantage only becomes more and more significant over the Mk 24, because the BI’s thrust remains constant and it’s drag is massively less, while the Spitfire’s prop will lose thrust quickly as speed increases and it has WAY more drag. When the BI is going 800 kmh IAS at low alt, it’s drag is still only about 1/3 of it’s thrust.
Acceleration = excess thrust / mass, and the BI has very low mass compared to other planes and a lot of excess thrust below 800 kmh, and the fact that it’s a rocket engine which doesn’t lose thrust with increasing speed or altitude.
The high thrust and very low mass is also what gives the BI comparable zoom climb performance to a MiG-19
You speak with such confidence but you’re literally just guessing… if you’ve checked, you’ll see the Spitfire puts out a huge 2000kg/f of thrust when its at a standstill on the runway and that’s great! Wow! However, when the spitfires GAINS SPEED, it LOSES EFFICIENCY and the thrust goes down respectively. At 400kph sea level it has dropped to ~1200kg/f and at ~450kph sea level it has dropped BELOW the BI’s thrust. Not to mention the fact the BI does NOT have to produce ANYWHERE NEAR as much thrust as the spitfire in the first place! It’s a lot lighter on account of being tiny and made of wood!
Since when???

At LOW SPEEDS yes… you have no idea how prop efficiency works and it shows.

How can I pay to win ? Can you tell me as I have plenty of money and would be interested in doing this.Many thanks.
It is a good tank.
People still play the BI? I only saw it shortly after the event but it was a beast…when used properly that is, not really noob friendly.
