Why should it be a mere .3br above a 262 that it outclasses significantly in every regard?

So you mean SU11, sea meteor 3 and ME262C-1 is worse than F80C?why not me262 move to 6.7? Even HO229 or SU9 is better than it

Gaijin has already forgotten all WWII and early cold war planes, which has been nerf a lot. same with those Navy fighters
The Ho-229 is not very good, and it is outlassed by the F-80A.
Also, they’re saying that the Me-262 is outclassed in every by the F-80C, so it shouldn’t be 7.3.
you obviously haven’t see a plane get hit by 300 .50 cals for no damage
No, but I have been hit by 5 rounds which lit me on fire, then I died.
Plus, .50s are some of the best guns on propeller aircraft, they’re easy to aim, have good range, and they do decent damage. The only downside is that they are almost always wing mounted.
Ho229 is much better than F80A, whatever the speed or maneuverability
No it isn’t. When both are stock, the F-80 beats it in every way except initial turn rate.
The F-80 has better acceleration, and top speed, and energy retention.

ask the Su-11 a mere .3 below the F-80C, which it outclasses significantly in every regard.
Today I fired a very short burst into a 109 and sawed his wing off.
Su11 should go to 7.7 too. 262 C2B is only played well by dedicated players due to the shit guns. Can’t comment on Meteor.
And btw the F2H Banshee has a very similar flight model to Su11.

No, it isn’t, HO229 has a faster top speed and high-speed acceleration when it is over 700km/h. the energy retention is because HO229 has better maneuverability.
Yes it is similar, but acceleration and top speed is worse, if they move to 7.7, then will suffering F84G and better Meteor like mk8, but it has better fire power.
MK108 is pretty hard to use, and that’s why I insist that 262 needs to 6.7, which might save German JU288 players
The top speed difference isn’t that large, and the Ho-229 doesn’t have the acceleration to use all of it. Get the Horten to turn once, and it’s an easy kill due to its awful energy retention.
For F80, that is useless, Ho229 can catch you very easily with high-speed acceleration, and the only way F80 can do is cancer roll because HO229 is hard to aim at high speed, once in low speed the F80C is like suicide, even the low speed acceleration difference isn’t large as well.
Dont get stuck at low speed, You fight the 229 the same way a P-51 fights a Zero, Don’t dump all of your energy in flat turns and B&Z instead.

F-80s feel quite fine where they are, quite good planes. Only problem is they are immediately outclassed by planes one small step above them. Sabres and Migs at 8.0 and 8.3 can dance all over them. Even the meteors at 8.0 are much better imo. As almost always, the problem is compression. Honorable mention to the Su-11, which is very strong competition with the C model, but somehow lower in br…

But HO229 is faster than F80, which is different from P51&Zero case, you can hardly escape from Ho229’s chasing.
7.3 has already got enough good planes, like Sea Meteor/SU11/ME262C-1, F80c drop to 7.3 is doesn’t matter, and the same with F9F-2, I don’t know how could they against 8.0 jets like MIG15ish or F86A
Nothing can, they’re under tiered to cater to bozos who want easy gameplay and no challenges
Yeah, I might agree decrease BR. but for Air RB only ?
My personally might want F9F-2 Panther down to 7.7 (Air RB) and 8.0 (Air SB) in january 2025
