I literally werent able to take off with my F-84B-26 in GRB and I have that plane fully spaded. Was carrying 2x 1K lb bombs and 8x HVARS. Hit trees in end of airfield without any possibility to even lift off. This is just plain stupid design…
yeah the f84s dont really have the engine power for their weight
not much we can really do except hope cos gaijin prolly doesnt care
G thunderjet is a bit better
is mowing down the trees with 50 cals possible
i would think m3 50s have the volume to take down some trees at least
You can cull some of the trees near the end of the runway. Unfortunately, no idea which trees can be culled, because of Gaijin’s uneven coding, where some trees can be taken down with smallest MG, while others require tank fire to knock down.
I mean they could also just stop being lazy and remove the trees from the end of the runway also, but they are probably to busy coding the next Russian SPAA for the next big update!

A tactic that I’ve found effective for aircraft that struggle to get airborne is to throttle up whilst holding the brakes, so that the engine spools up to max power before you start moving. Can sometimes make the difference.
Also make sure you are running the amount of fuel you actually need. If it’s GRB, then you probably don’t need much.
No idea if it has any flaps, but if it does, keep them retracted until you rotate.
The moment you do, retract your gear but stay at low level, don’t try to gain altitude straight away.
Landing is also absolute ass with the tiny airfields. I greatly enjoy the Me262 in combat, but landing on the stinky airfield without air brakes practically forces me to break the landing gear or I’ll just slide off and crash
