Boeing P-8A Poseidon: Ruler of the Seven Seas

well I say higher because that is unfair for the 5.0 fighters who are in WW2 tanks go against a modern weapon.

I say 7.0-8.0 even 9.0

It can only do 500 kph. Even WWII prop planes can catch it and it would be a sitting duck for anything with missiles.

Yeah but it has flares and chaffes for that and also there is like no crew so it’s a flying paper so it can soake up more bullets and also again to advance to be any where near the WW2 tanks

That’s why it doesn’t fit the WT meta. Too weak for air, to OP for ground or naval (until they add advanced SAMs).

hold On naval it’s fine have you seen the aa in the 5.0 naval that shit is scary.

I just have problems with it at a 5.0 ground Br

Not if you have standoff AShMs and PGMs like Harpoon etc.

Question what is the AShM

antiship missile

oh yeah but they don’t work that well i have used the douglass and it’s does not do shit.

Did you read the suggestion?

And speed is not the only thing that defines BR, weapons load is also a balancing factor, and the P-8 can carry very modern weapons, with huge ranges on them

Try reading entire thread before posting.

I did, and I refuted your claim that this can only go 500km/h, in addition to pointing out that BR isn’t defined only by speed.

What else do you want me to say lmao

just checked it’s payload it’s all anti-surface and sub weapons.

so it will only be good for naval battles.

Not necessarily, it gets land attack missiles in the form of the SLAM-ER and bombs in the form of JDAM, which would be good for taking out bases and cap points. LRASM was also slated for getting land-attack capability as well
