Right now damage is all over the place, even if the fuses work.
F.e. Soviet 14.5mm MGs are FAR more reliable in killing aircraft than 37mm even when it explodes, as it takes just a few 14.5mm bullets to completely demolish a plane and there’s plenty of areas where 37mm M-geschoss hit just turns the fuselage black and plane flies like nothing happened.

The game is basically evolving backwards at this point.

That is still the case - but i saw you use the C-3604. Try it in Air RB - perfect balancing tool for Yak & La-5 spam. It outturns every Yak or Lavotchkin and the 20 mms hit extremely hard. With MEC and proper flap usage u kill even Spits & Hurricanes - and ofc B7A2s 😎
Even if you wanna stay in Ground RB: Way better than get frustrated by not working SPAAs - create a custom loadout without external loads and use air target belts - the SP should not be that high…
Have a good one!

I did. It’s fun, I usually got them in stall shots as it has Ho-229 vibes and people rolling all over the place are.sometimes hard to follow.
It kills tanks like crazy.
Generally, a very fun experience, it’ll end up 0.7-1 BR higher than it currently is eventually, though German 2.7-3.3 teams are so bad, who knows…
But you know what, Ground RB players are bad enough I’m literally outdogfighting A6M2.in Bf 109 F2 (they had brown camo and I thought I’m fighting some funny low tier US plane lol) and Me-410 with 1000kg bombs on board scores me surprising amount of killls. It has enough armanent that something eventually lands regardless of broken game.

Broken HE damage and fuses. To be precise, 37mm M-geschoss failing to seriously damage CW-21 with 2 hits and failing to seriously damage SB2Cs engine with a direct hit at low range from the front.

Fun: Yes - but you are forced to carry way more than 50% of your matches - the game play is centered around head-ons in which the 0.50 cal opposition together with the fellow ShVak users have clear range and damage superiority - at least vs the standard 109s and the 3.0 190. As i still deny head-ons i am forced to turn/energy fight everything…
I would have no issue with a higher BR (ofc with an upgrade to Rank III and transferring it to the strike fighter line) but German teams have a pretty hard time even up to BR 3.7.
Either they get swarmed by hordes of A-36s in the climbing phase - or they face 5 MiG-3s (ofc some with 2 x 20mm ShVak) pushing them low. And if they survive that they face Ki-44s, Yak-1 Bs or Ki-43s. All with one tap potential…
You need to be really good to survive in such an environment as the few good pilots in 109 F-2s or 190 A-2s are usually outnumbered like hell.
So i won’t claim that they are worse than their opponents - they are just not really suited for this low alt bar fight environment…
I love the 3.3 410 A-1 - great plane climbs like a rocket (without bombs) and works extremely nice vs low tier Spits and P-39s (not the Q) above 5 km 😂
Saw this afternoon a guy from the ENSO squad scoring 6 kills in the 4.3 version - lmao
