Me 262 in its proper tier

The simple truth is the average Air RB player is not skilled, so if you have skill, it’s pretty easy to just chill at 8.0 I understand if you cannot see that, but it’s the fact of it.

I understand that and I heavily profit from that myself if I may be so bold but the problem is that a aircraft is to some extend balanced by it’s capabilities.

We are discussing a objectively reasonable placement for the jet here. Based on it’s performance characteristics and not which player does or doesn’t benefit from the average player cimmiting big mistakes.

Yeah, I understand that. I just don’t understand why you can’t see it working at 8.0. You should try the Jabo at 8.0 (it’s the closest to A2A the normal person has) I have a blast usually

I have played all 3 but I do better at 8.0 in a 8.0 plane…
Obviously.

I said 6.7 right? I just said i had fun and did well at 8.0

This is true. Though I am still not sure how well you are actually doing at 8.0. Or maybe it is how badly your average enemy is doing but you are of course right. The idea of playing what I already see as slightly overtiered in a full uptier against the next generation of fighters for fun rather distracted me from the 6.7 part of your post.

Fair, I just like facing jets, not props.

so 262 6.7 ?

Yes or it could stay 7.0 and get rx4

X4s are not that good Mclos guidance will really on be useful against bombers and slow targets

The best decision would be to buff the plane, as they did with a goddamn F-80C which perfomance is now comparable with F-86, as they did with Kikka which completely outperform Me 262 in all aspects (except guns), however had a top speed of 700 km/h and poor maneuverability in reality. B.R reduction would be pointless as it would affect the displacement of other planes

Ok, how?

No? Even buffed F80C, as good as it is, is NOWHERE and I mean NOWHERE near a F-86 in performance.

this man has not flown a Kikka

I am happy with a 262 br reduction.

I am of the belief that variety among performance is a benefit.

Just because we have same br - does not mean we should have same performance.

Variety is spice of life.

I am happy fighting 262 in my spit’s or p51.

P80 is considerably better.

this thing need to go down to 7.0 it’s so awful even with boosters

Even so, it is not necessary to fly Kikka, unless you have eyes and understanding that it’s much better than Me 262 and has completely different specifications from the actual plane

Me 262 can be buffed by giving better acceleration to make it like in reality. And ofc it’s not a maneuverable plane but it was slightly better in reality asw

F-80C has been significantly buffed and infinite methanol injection heavily contributed to its acceleration which now comparable with F-86 lol, not at high speeds ofc. So this plane is a menace now

This has no basis in reality. We don’t do artificial buffs/nerfs here. Mostly.

Incorrect. Buffed F80 is still miles worse than a F86. F-86A-5 alone curb stomps and doesnt spare the jaw. F-86F-25 might as well be a gen4.

No it wasn’t. If anything the war thunder Me-262 is highly overperforming.

No artificial buffs?) Sorry, have you read this page or at least played this game?

Fly this plane at first before typing here. And ofc I was talking about A-5 and to be precise compared to acceleration* (for the slow learners)

Where is your logic? If this has no basis in reailty how it can be overperfomed by WT? xD

I’ve done both. Use your words and say the point you’re trying to make.

I have flown every plane talked about in this thread.

I don’t think you comprehend what I’m saying.
