F80C and F80A

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

No, both AB/RB, and AB are much more painful because it will be against MIG21S.

From Gaijin’s efficiency, they might not change BR this year, we have wait 5 month to get BR extend, that might be true.

I might need gajin decrease BR to 7.7 (Air RB & SB) in the winter major update this year or january 2025

For Me 262 A-1a and Me 262 A-1a/Jabo in the Air RB & SB

They are not. That’s like comparing an A-36 to a P-51.

Its not about the 7.3 planes, its about the planes at 6.7 and 6.3 it would face in a downtier. Its better that the F-80C suffers a bit in uptiers, than an entire BR gets demolished by it.

Why do you think F80C will demolish all down-tier? if so how about Sea Meteor, su11? down-tier always painful, not because the F80C

The solution is to move those up in BR instead of moving the F80C down.

The F80A is already somewhat questionable at 7.0, but we don’t need a 7.3 F80C.

We do need not only F80C drop to 7.3, but also others like F9F or ME262 move to lower BR.

Some 7.3 jets are better than 7.7 is a total joke, BR extension is also unacceptable, unless you move up all BR, even the ground vehicles, if you move those 7.3-8.0 planes, then what about 8.3-9.0? same logic. and also there is nothing too much difference between F80C and F80A

I really feel sorry for every player who replies with care but is kept in the dark, wasting their time. Just take a look at the picture below and everyone will understand.

This player doesn’t even have any battle records of the F80A and F80C. Maybe he just unlocked the incomplete performance of the F80C and came here to complain. I found this fallacy while searching for relevant posts about the ho229.

It was the first time I heard someone say that the ho229 could actually catch up with the F80A. I didn’t even understand why someone would compare the SU11 with the F8 Meteor, a gold coin fighter.

The performance of the F80A is sufficient to rival that of the ho229, which is its own technical issue. The skilled players I have encountered can freely join the battle with the F80A or come out unscathed. The F80C is a fighter jet with excellent overall quality, capable of both dogfighting and detaling.

Lower the F80C to 7.3 and then use its powerful thrust to punish those 6.3 fighter jets?? A person with a mind couldn’t say such words.

Although this is a post from last year 2024, I still need to clarify that even in 2024, the performance of the F80A will far exceed that of the ho229. If the F80A doesn’t want to fight, the ho229 might not even catch up with the F80A. Secondly, there is the F80C, a fighter jet that can almost engage in dogfighting with the ho229 and has strong thrust. In this article, it is described so poorly.

Obviously, gaijin heard the voices about this American BOY, and WEP received an epic boost. Now, the already powerful combat capabilities of the P51 and F80C have been significantly enhanced in essence.

Let’s take a look at the battle record of this American boy in the game. Why is it so ironic? The F80C doesn’t even have a recordF80A… It leaves me speechless. If the forum is filled with such posts and irresponsible remarks, even if I were gaijin, I wouldn’t like to visit it frequently.

Let’s zoom in and take a look
