When there is a counter bomber like a Tu2 or Sb2c or another ju288 the bomber with a BI as an ally throw bombs (even if doesnt kill anything), turn around and go to the airfield, at this point the BI is already fighting with the enemy bomber.
If both bombers dont attack, the BI just climbs and wait, with that performance it can wait until the bomber or other fighters became an easy target (and do recon for their allies)
And again, if you only use AA, theres gonna be a 2,500kg bomb near them before AA can shoot down the bomber, ooooor, the bomber waits, their fighters arrive and distract/kill the AA.
Bro, and the enemy team can bring AA too, so not only your planes have to deal with that but with a hecking rocket that run, turn and climb more.
Ok so lets bring 4 AA (it sounds ridiculous, yes, we´ve tried it) enemy bomber can just stay away until fighters or ground units (cuz bombers are spotting) are dealing with them, or ju288 can do a suicide bombing, with that bombs it can easily kill 3 or 4, and if it aim for the tanks, the match ends with 4 AA againts a T34, tiger 2 and Is2.
We all know that Cas win more battles than effective ground units, so why there is a paid option that makes your cas more efective?
As I’ve stated above, the Bi is obviously superior in the a2a role, I am not arguing against that I am simply saying there are work arounds when facing such.
As an update to this quote a Profile link to player with a K/D of 25:1 in his BI - met him 3 times now :-)
619 battles, 2.567 kills, 102 deaths, 90% WR.
Edit: Grammar. And to be fair, the first time i met him was my second game i flew in a reserve tier aircraft in the CHN tree. He farmed 7 or 8 noobs with the extremely rare MBR-2 flying boat at 1.0 - with aced auto gunners all you have to do is to fly near biplanes. 219 matches, 1.049 kills, 61 deaths, 90% WR.
Edit 2: Just met another BI player (profile) which fits to the description of @RXDimA - a tanker, not really good but the plane (“It’s the plane, not the pilot”) enables him to get 2.5 frags per battle. 2.478 matches, 6.199 kills, 844 deaths, 78% WR.
And to be clear: I don’t blame anybody flying this thing. It is gaijin’s decision to keep it at this BR, so if you have it: Play it. It simply annoys me that the performance advantage neutralizes any experience advantage.
Yea i didnt get the bi but i got the strike master, i like to use arb with it with its strike aircraft spawn, its really fun but it meets its match with good pilot with ta152s and some spits. But over all i believe im a good pilot so i clap some ta152s and spits sometimes, when i see a BI its game over. Its the only vehicle that genuinely stomps anything in any br in can get into. I thought the strike master was strong too but compared to the bi, it flys circles around me even when i get to 5000 to 6000 meters first 2 to 3 minutes in the match. By the time they see me thier at 8000+ khm
Yea the statics i see with all bi users is always above 50%wr since it was released, but never a nerf to it, but hey, amx 13fl11, 3.7 to 4.3 even tho the amount of players that played it are so minimal but hey it got moved to go against kv1e with only 100mm of pen, :/
The fact that you’re fighting monkey brains it’s obvious you can take down BI, try fighting experienced players they will always kick your ass.
However, it is undeniable that BI is a completely OP plane, the only ones who defend BI are those who enjoy dominating all the games by slapping the entire opposing team… BI needs a drastic increase in BR at least BR 8.0, if Me 163 B is at BR 8.0 then BI must also be at the same BR.
