I’ve been playing the Bf-109K4, and it’s taking a toll on me.
Guns? Innacurate and no damage (need to unlock the 20mils gunspods before the offensive belts, like, just why?) and with the 30mil as a starter, even the damage on it is inconsistent
Performance? 109s suffer a lot from having stock engines
Repairs? The K4 starts with almost the same repair as the G-14 spaded
Is there a strategy to just get those RP without having to push my sanity to the limit and just losing +8000 SL per match? Should I get firepower upgrades first and then performance or the other way around?
My strategy for spading planes that are tough to use unupgraded is as follows:
Stick close to teammates, positioning yourself so that enemies go for them first. Then, support those teammates when they get into fights. Keep your profile low, don’t make yourself the easier target to attack.
For gun damage / accuracy, it doesn’t matter much if you get close enough for a solid gun solution. You will kill anything even with 2x7.5mms.
For repair costs, if a battle is unwinnable, just retreat to your airfield, land, then leave the battle once you’re repaired. It does not count as a death, so you do not pay any repair costs. You can leave the moment you stopped moving if you are completely undamaged.
For upgrade priorities, it depends on the planes and what I need more from them. For the K4, I felt like performance upgrades were much more important.
get many points as possible along side with staying alive long as possible. Skill bonus is important
Sorry but K4s shouldn’t be inaccurate. The 30mm is hard to aim because of the lower muzzle velocity but it’s not inaccurate. Especially the 13mms. They should be accurate and decent for crits, maybe not severes.
This is true except maybe time to kill due to burst mass.
It depends on how you play the plane too really. The playstyle matters a lot.
How do you usually play it? It would be helpful if you could describe a regular match.
