Fw 189 С: The Ugliest Duckling

i"m excited for this plane
just really wish it wasn’t a premium so i’ll just never fly it

eee

Mr snail i am big fan of WWII planes / tanks i don’t find fun in modern tanks and planes and seeing another awesome WWII plane as premium makes me very upset.

please maybe add better another Fw 189C for tec tree ?

if mr snail added Fw 190 D-14 mr snail could add two of them with different engines one for tec tree and one as premium replacement for fw 190 D-13 as example.

i have some suggestion that could make money for mr snail 🐌

i play game called fornite and i spend my money on some skins because they slay and i love their outfits instead of spending money on my hair and myself !

what i suggest is add these to premium account futures and as packs that can be bought from store :
1-animated profile icons
2-animated backgrounds
3-animated Profile frame
4-smoke colors for planes

i suggest making more specials limited time packs with awesome camouflages !
here example from tiger II pack :

it’s mostly cosmetics and won’t make players upset that much because they are not vehicles they are just
( cosmetics) 🙀

i would personal pay more money for cool WWII camouflage instead of buying my self makeup.

Thanks for reading my yapping now i go make pizza for myself

I would love a profile icon with the Stummel and a Tanker in the proper Panzer uniform.

They are doing it, but the cammo comes with a Tech tree vehicle turned premium, and it costs $70 :)

Look up what “revshare” is. Every vehicle made by a community member becomes a premium, and the creator receives part of the proceeds.

And one of them is a copy paste 7 years late, the other one should not go tp the German tree at all.

Surprise!

It’s ok, it’s actually a swan! 😄

As long as the player base keeps buying this stuff, they’ll keep adding it.

This low tier stuff is fine for me, if only a single 189 sees the TT the it would be for me a perfect recipe of adding a premium.
Can’t say the same of some of these +70 dollars scams around the shop.

On an ideal world the Fw-189 C would be the perfect premium variant, skippin it doesn’t make a whole lot, but if you want fun or simply be a collector you can pick it on the spot with that cheap price.

That ideal world has a TT Fw-189, which we don’t

But also we do see an increment in premiums per update

As written earlier by a fellow player - the dev server BR of 2.7 in Air RB kills this plane just due to the way too high BR.

  1. Even if we talk about an attacker / strike aircraft with a forward air spawn - if you look at the competition at this BR like A-36s, Me 410s (strike fighters) or P-39s or just a plain Yak-7b (fighters) it is quite obvious that the guys responsible for a foreseen BR of 2.7 never play the game.

  2. It is therefore rather sad that the efforts of the 2 mentioned war thunder players will not be rewarded adequately - as no sane person will buy this aircraft at this BR and subsequently these 2 players won’t get their well deserved revenue share.

  3. Most players have never met of fought the already implemented (but ultra-rare) Fw 189 A-1. This plane has actually a bomber spawn and can use this altitude advantage combined with a very good turn quite effectively vs most enemy fighters. On top of that: The defensive MG 81 Z has an insane fire rate and a very large field of fire. But it sits at a BR of 2.3 in Air RB.

  4. So if gaijin’s staff thinks a better armament would justify a higher BR of 2.7 they have not considered that the moderate success of the lighter event Fw 189 A-1 is just the result of the 3,500 meter bomber air spawn of this variant. A way heavier (armored) strike aircraft having an 1 km air spawn deserves therefore actually a lower BR as the ability to bring guns on target is decisive - and not the caliber of the guns.

  5. So even if you see its primary role in Ground RB - the plane is in every metric significantly outperformed by the Swiss C-3604 at BR 2.7 in the German TT. So every player thinking about investing a few bucks for this aircraft should be aware of that putting a talisman on the C-3604 is way more effective.

  6. In order to make this rather unique prototype aircraft even worth to consider you should think about 2 different BRs for this aircraft:

  • BR 2.3 for Ground RB
  • BR 2.0 for Air RB
  1. This would consider the actual combat effectiveness in both modes from a way more realistic pov and also the already existing aircraft in all TTs. Otherwise you just rob the 2 wt players (which invested blood, sweat and tears to create this plane) from any noteworthy financial rewards and German players from having a realistic fighting chance.

Have in mind that you can always increase BRs if planes become too effective - but if you prevent people from buying a premium due to non-competitive BRs nobody has a benefit.

In GRB and Sim EC, I think the Me 210 is way more user-friendly than the Me 410. Unlike the 410, the 210 actually has functional wing hardpoints, so you can carry four extra SC 50 bombs under the wings on top of the two SC 250s in the bomb bay. Drop them right and you can even destroy heavy tanks. It’s honestly better for CAS.
The Fw 189C can also carry SC 50 bombs, so if you have the skill to land direct hits on tanks, I think it’s quite usable up to BR 4.3 GRB.
