Gaijin needs to change the Buccaneer S.2B

Machinery of War Discussion Aircraft

To start after i reach the buccaneer s2b in the British techtree i though it was a good plane and had a amazing loadout for cas but when i put my hands on my opinion changed, this is almost unplayable in 10.7 br even with aim9ls it still a poor plane for air matchs and cant do nothing in his br bracket almost all matchs i had with it was being killed in the start of the match and without any points because i cant even reach a base if i want to.

Changes to it down below.

-Change br to (10.0 our 9.7)
-Stock aim9l
-and reduce a bit of the rp needed to full research it by atleast 10% less

yea stock 9L is a bit far but 10.0 for a bomber you cant head on with is fair enough. theres no reason it should be the same BR as a sea harrier or higher than a SU25

I dont think any all aspect missile should be lower than 10.3 really

take away 9l
put it at 9.7
done deal

10.0 with 9L would be fine

a better bomber with a gun, 9L and stupid good CAS capability is 10.3

only place the A10 loses at is speed

Which is pretty significant

only in the rush for a base. the A10 is scary to deal with as it has enough flares to be invulnerable to missiles and that avenger canon means head ons are suicidal.

a blackburn buccaneer is a free rp target in comparison

Anuone with a brain can kill it with a gun, theyre incredibly slow and stall surprisingly easily

A free rp target with 2 aim9L, just like the a10 is

10.3 minimum

its also barely faster than a prop plane

15

guns from behind yea.

not much slower than a hawk 200 tbh

from flying it about in a test flight it seems to not car until lower than 230mph. its got enough wing to nor really care in that regard.

16

or in a dogfight

okay and?

yeah but they lose speed relatively easily and they hunger for blood so you can just go past them, pull them upwards flare any missiles, and watch them fall out of the sky, then you go back down on them
heck half the time you dont even need flares, i used to hunt a10s in the ariete, they go afk half the time theyre flying to the battle

this is player skill issue.

Balancing only on the player is moronic.

im not saying you should balance on player skill (though if you take averages of very large numbers like gaijin does they become pretty solid numbers), its just relatively easy to manipulate a10s

19

its easy to manipulate them more from america main pilots being quite bad.

Im certain if any other tree had an A10 it would perform much better as generally speaking any plane that appears in the US tree and another has better stats in the other tree. I know for certain the bucc would have wildly differing stats if a clone was in other trees too.

the massive amount of data is always tainted by average skill which varies wildly between nations at times

just as a few examples:

Spoiler

12.0 phantoms of britain and america. near enough the same but perform wildly different
