I would highly appreciate if you as CM can give some feedback to the marketing guys within gaijin:

The discounts they offer are nice - but except the 3.0 JP 109 (which was several times “for free” in the war bond shop) the products they offer are a not really attractive for every “somehow” experienced Air RB player:

  1. Since June 2024 the famous Minengeschoss rounds got severly nerfed by gaijin (see this post). Either intended or by accident the shells got a range nerf as they have implemented the historically accurate SD (self-destruction) mechanic not as it would be correct based on time (3 seconds) but based on travelled distance which severely limits the range as any shells fired at very high speed will explode at 800-850 meters as the velocity of the carrier plane will be added to the shell muzzle velocity and subsequently the shells explode too early.

    Several bug reports were submitted, but either ignored or closed despite a publicly available primary source (like in this report) were attached.

  2. The Minengeschoss/Mineshells are afaik the only shells which were not revised by your Real Shatter iteratations RS 2.0 & 3.0. The rounds were before your ballistic update and Real Shatter amongst the most lethal 20 mm rounds.

    Currently they are (based on countless player complains spread over dozens of threads and hundreds of posts) the weakest 20 mm shells in the game - whilst one of the weakest cannons of WW 2, the 20 mm ShVak, became out of nowhere a deadly one-tap killer with sniper abilities.

  3. The BRs of the 109s and 190s in Air RB remained over the years more or less stable whilst competitors saw massive BR decreases (like F4U-4 and I-185 from 5.0 to 4.3) or massive armament buffs (like the mentioned 20mm ShVak) whilst their BRs were not increased.

    So if you add FM nerfs (like Fw 190 A-5) or artificial engine overheating (like 190 A/F models) there are no real reasons to buy any of these planes.

  4. You don’t have to trust me - just invest 10 minutes and use the search function (“MG 151/20” and “109 & 190s”) to get an unfiltered community feedback regarding Mineshells and Bf 109s & Fw 190s.

As final remarks:

  1. There are still a lot of planes with rather high production numbers (like the Fw 190 A-9 with the up to 2.200 hp BMW 801 S ~ 900 built) missing in the German TT whilst implemented aircraft lack historical armament options - like the famous 190 A-8 R/2 “Sturmbock” with 2 outer wing Mk 108s as replacement for 2 MG 151/20.

  2. Imho you miss a hell of business opportunities if you keep 109s and 190s at their current BRs and don’t “de-nerf” the MG 151/20 or 190 Flight Models.

  3. In addition: Germany lacks BR 3.7 Rank III versions of the 109 & 190 for the Air RB. So if you would offer a 1941 109 F-2 with the Galland modification (replacing MG 17s with MG 131s) and add the 1942 Fw 190 A-3 you could close this gap (109s 3.3-4.0 and 190s 3.0-4.0) rather easy.

  4. I would be happy to buy a 190 A-9 at a BR of 4.7 for up to 40€ with the R/2 modification even without an airspawn - but not with the current FM, overheating nerf and MG 151/20 nerf.

Thx 4 your support!

??? That entire conversation confused me. Also why do you want it gone for good?

35

If I had a time machine i’d go back and tell the Germans to put 20mm instead of 30mm on the Z1 so I could give the snail 20 bucks to buy a virtual version of it in a video game.

37

While I understand that, and it’s a pain that they take things away and bring things back, it’s just Gaijin exploiting FOMO. If you bring something away then people will want to buy it because it’s rare. They’ll take it away again in a year or two.

Please refrain from using what I assume is suppose to be an insult in the forums :)

it’s not insult, it is valid word for valid people
