germany’s planes were one among the best in the war
their tech tree could be something better if the devs would remove a bunch of unnecessary me410s and fw190s and instead give them a variety of payload options and stuff
and also introduce the german ammunition and armaments designed late in the war so that it could be actually be interesting to use them against ground and air targets
and also changes are needed in matter of late war german jet fighters and bombers

Decent idea, but would take a lotta work and ammo modeling would suck. Also late war german aircraft wouldn’t exactly be fair as they were very experimental and not at all reliable
you are never required to play a plane, removing them doesn’t make the tree stronger it just limits freedom of choice

Nah man german WWII tech tree is fine, borderline op if you are not a monkey.
During the period of WWII, only 15 counrties were manufacturing aircrafts.
Out of those 15 countries, only 7 nations got more than 5 Fighters aircrafts indegenous designs (outside of biplanes and late monoplanes, which were using the same old frame and upper mount for the wing, from late 1920’s /early 1930’s):
France
Germany
USA
UK
Italy
Japan
Russia
Even today, the number of nations that designs and built aircrafts are limited:
Since the 1980’s - > only 16 nations are building aircrafts with complete work of designing them.
(i didn’t counted Chile in, because the ENAER Pantera, is only a Mirage 50, modified with Kfir parts and new avionics from Israelian IAI company)
So being among the best out of 7 nations ain’t really something i would use as an argument,…
“unnecessary” : yet, there is not all the variants of Fw-190 or Me-410 in the game.
Only the most significant ones.
For German TT Alone, in-game
Fw190
IRL : 75 variants (without considering Ta-152’s, trainners, and prototypes)
In-game: 12 variants (3 premiums)
Me-410
IRL : 12 variants (without considering the 5x Me-210 variants, from which the Me-410 come from)
In-game: 7 variants
Also i don’t you see blaming the Bf-109’s:
IRL: 80 armed and produced variants
(+ several prototypes and unarmed variants such as Bf-109G.12 + several proposed but never produced variants + some post war/licensed variants that are not in the count)
In-Game: 20 variants (5 premium + 1 from events), which are essentially the most common variants of their times.
Most of which never flew, and even if they flew, most of them are unusable within the game
like adding the Ruhrstall / Kramer X-4 rocket to Fw-190F (which should be done tomorrow morning on live server)
Updated post, with Bf109T-2 added to game.
