Agree

This is the bug report that was used for the Me 163’s fuel time change.

This only proves they made a change without taking into consideration how it would affect the gameplay of the updated planes in regards to their BR rating/bracket, spawn location, etc.

I am not saying the fuel time is wrong or unrealistic/unhistorical - I wasn’t an Me-163/Ki-200 pilot or mechanic during WW2, so I wouldn’t know. What I’m saying is the change made it unplayable since both planes were designed to intercept WW2 propeller driven bombers, but are forced to fight Korean/Vietnam era jets on larger maps in-game and that should have been taken into account.

If realism is the goal - put it at a BR that faces WW2 props. If that is considered overpowered - put it at a BR where it faces both top props and early jets. If balance is the goal and it ends up at 8.7 - give it an interceptor/striker spawn so that it doesn’t waste 75% of it’s fuel just getting to the combat area.

There are solutions to every problem that may arise, but the problems were ignored and the change was made blindly and with no consideration to the consequences. And now that people are pointing this out it seems they are ignored.

Also, did you really report mine and Shepherd’s replies just because you disagree with us!?

I wouldn’t blame the staff on the forum about how fast they review anything… from what I heard from The European Canadian, it’s all voluntary and their positions are unpaid. Also, it’s off topic.

What seems weird is how a single (1) report is enough criteria to get a reply under review. But, it is what it is.

That was not me.

Edit: if you have doubts, I have literally made my own topic calling out how dumb the bug report system can be, which is in agreement with what Shepherd was saying in his blocked comment.

So it’s not like I’m some defender of Gaijin. I only provided the bug report due to what TT33a had posted.

I blame gaijin for there bad management of there forms if what you said was true and Thay are all volunteers it’s the worse thing ever

How a very rich and will payed company don’t have any full time working (payed) staff for serving there community

Edit: the comments is still hidden after 18 hours…

Yeah with 4.5 min of fuel, the Me 163 has basically no range, considering it needs to climb to altitute first.

In WT it’s just 4 minutes of fuel. With 30s for take-off.
At 9000m you’re left with less than a minute of fuel.

When you run out of fuel you’re roughly 45-50km away from the run way.

Which should be enough to intercept bombers in a pretty wide area I guess.

Doesn’t work:

But since in-game it is not climbing at its correct rate & angle of climb at its best climb speed of 700 km/h, it throws everything off such as remaining fuel time

I can open it on my phone just fine

u sure u arent looking at the one ending in 45 and not 32. only one i can open is the one talking about what the configuration of rocket head the me163 used which doesnt look relevant at all to the fuel consumption.

The graph above was the main point of the bug report.

Imagine being that sad.
Man must of been getting slapped hard to put this lv of effort in.

Its been said before. Realism when it suits. The ki200 should be fighting WW2 jets… where is the line?

You are quite bold to think that gaijin is considering any kind of line in the first place :/

btw me 163 and ki-200 are my two most played planes as well. Now I just wish they would give them the airspawn back

I only started playing in jan so havnt experienced most stuff that used to work/ before nerfs.

Ki200 im 1 kill 15 deaths- 14 crashes as no fuel.
Kill was a pilot snipe as the guns fire bean bags- spark spark crit , enemy flys away.

BRs that make me question my sanity, broken missiles that dont work in any fashion and crazy nerfs is my WT experience.

I feel like gajin should take 6 months off making new stuff and fix the game.
