Argentina is really proud of this plane to this day COIN aircraft are the unsung work horse or aircraft as it can do a lot of different jobs. Though drones have taken some of there jobs there is always something a piloted aircraft can do a drone cant.
I will always state COIN planes are going to be so useful for infantry mode so all German mains who is planning to play infantry should get this bird.

It’s worth getting even for German CAS imho. It definitely fills a gap.

Hi. Does anyone have data on the Pucara VNE speed in the form of a Mach number? 0.62M seems to low…
I haven’t used it in actual battles yet, but here’s my impression after testing dive bombing and strafing runs during test flights.
First, I think BR 4.3 is way too low. It can carry a bomb load comparable to Big Bombers while still climbing effortlessly. Its maneuverability is also very agile, and it has excellent acceleration both in level flight and in shallow dives. The top speed may be low, but in CAS roles, it will likely be an even more annoying and dangerous attack aircraft than the Wyvern.

That’s the thing I kept saying, they want another wyvern, a strike aircraft targeted to base bombers (can carry napalm) and the extra turnrate is a godsend to them since they barely know how to fight other aircraft.
You know how they defended the wyvern back then by saying it couldn’t turn or preserve energy.
Now for 40 dollars you recieve wyvern 2.0!
Ready for the next set of endless waves of braindead “ARB” players?
And probably after all this, if the Wyvern situation repeats, it will be turned into a wrecked FM and then sent up properly, instead of simply being sent up to the correct BR in one go instead of 0.3 steps at a time.

It is going to wreak havoc at 4.3 in GRB, between the 133 mighty mouses and the 30 laser mini zunnies aa a going to have a hard time with these

so… the pucaras probably a litle OP for 4.3 in GRB… who would have guessed having mighty mouse and pampero rockets on the centre hardpoint was gonna cause big issues

The pampero ballistics are ridiculous, i just tested them and they barely drop at all, also they feel much faster than a zuni for some reason
Edit: I see now why they fell faster…

who would guess a 1970s strike plane at ww2 BR is OP huh?
Yep, even wen ge have separated br they still have to give it the same br at ground rb, they couldnt place it somewhere like 6.0

I’d like a total overhaul of our ingame tech trees. Puchara ist just the latest example.
I’d favor if vehicles would be rated according to their era. If certain vehicles are just performing badly, community should accept it. Deal with it. But there shouldn’t be time travellers. The current BR system kills immersion and balancing issues.

Please nerf it, but just send it up to 5.7/6.0 (ARB), same place as the ADs.
But please, PLEASE don’t touch the FM, don’t do like the wyvern that instead of sending it up they incremented by 0.3 BRs, didn’t work, killed the FM and then sent it up.
Coming from your felow argie, F4Us, Fw-190s, Yak-3s and Ki-61s don’t deserve to even meet this plane on the daily.
It is fast, turns well, carries incredible payload, nose mounted cannons with incredible ballistics, comes with RATO systems AND climbs very well at sea level and you add to it the strike airspawn.
It is better than the AD-4 is almost all aspects but turn radius.
it is funny how most YT reviews were dunking on the Pucara for being slow and would get trashed by spitfires etc and now a lot of people here are complaining about it for being too op.
Some even complain that a 60’s designed plane is going against ww2 era vehicles… I would not mind mind historical separation, but there are just so many vehicles in the game already crossing those lines.

All turboprops in-game are 6.0-7.0 material, even the wyvern if you step back on the flight model nerf it saw before being sent to 5.0
That’s the separation I want, your screeching powerhouse can and will see itself as a powerful opponent, that people can’t apply concepts that the P-40E should have taught them long ago is no excuse.
I called it from the first day I knew ot was a pack premium, they are going to make it undetiered.
Am I happy our little Pucará has been added? Ofc I am, She is the little pride of Argentina, but not in this state.
On a peak map too where strike planes can win.
they always under tier new released premiums… the natural course will be to deploy, wait and then adjust to higher/lower br’s etc based on collected data… but like I’ve said, the fact is that most YouTubbers were dismissive towards it and now all the sudden it is too op… something similar happened when the TAM came into the game.
what has to be nerfed are AAA those are too OP for planes as well as against ground.
