Clearly the game doesn’t share that opinion as they’re both 5.7 in RB
Seafire FR47 has an SB rating of 6.0.
Nah. Sea Fury with stealth belts is God Tier. Nothing can catch you on the deck with MEC and stealth belts shred everything with mountains of ammo to spray.

oh right, I imagine it’s counter rotating props make it even better for Sim
gotta try that once my HOTAS works again
Yeah, my thought too
“god tier”
“deck”
doesn’t play sea fury
yeahhh “this killed me so it must be OP” mindset
the sea fury is a 3.7 performing plane and the cannons are so random that they will tickle aircraft. On the deck it barely does 530, that is slower than the j6k1.
It has to move down to at least 4.7.
they’re so high in BR because only four people have the nads to play them and are good at them.
I think you may have officially lost the plot…
Granted Hispanos once in a while can have inconsistant damage. Blowing a wing clean off in what feels like a single hit and then the next encounter multiple rounds seeming just to “hit” but they are far from bad. More often than not, a well placed burst will just shread the target.
Based upon stat cards. The Sea Fury leaves the J6K1 in the dust. Sea Fury has a max speed of 724 kmph vs the J6K1’s 686 kmph. So I have no idea why you think an aircraft that is a full BR higher than the Sea Fury and actually slower than it is a good yard stick for why the Sea Fury need any BR reduction. (in fact it almost indicates maybe it needs a higher BR )
Advocating for an aircraft that to me at least on paper looks to be about right for the 5.7/6.0 BR to go down at all just seems totally off-base. But if it does need to go down at all. Then advocating for reasonable BR reduction might aid you a tad. Perhaps argue why it needs to go down to 5.3 before arguing that it needs to go down to 3.7 (where it would dominate everything with absolute impunity)

Check the Sim stats bub
Edit: and a majority of the deaths come from using it for CAS in Ground Sim, not to other fighters
so you admit… that it really is
a skill issue?

It’s also worth noting, unless I missed an update, the Sea Fury is still being limited to peacetime engine settings

can we talk about the sea fury too please
indeed, it’s a skill issue and i’m sadly part of the players that pump it up in BR. 3.7KD and counting also my highest KD of any (actual) plane. My Potez 20mm + 7.7mm at 3.3 is 15 to 0 but who cares, took the plane to start grinding france for a mirage but bought the sc4 for 20 bucks.
Took it out for a spin last night. Just as dominant as ever, if not moreso as now it can play without dealing with 6.0 and 6.3 all the time. Stealth belts still rake everything from single engine fighters to at least medium bombers, didn’t get to shoot any heavies. The only time I died was diving on someone and exceeding 472 knots, causing sudden wing top ejection, yet still has enough controllability to aim and kill the guy, just not pull up in time. Best visibility for a prop, tied with most of the other bubble canopies.

The FR47 doesn’t need to go down in BR, it needs its proper flight model. It’s underpowered by a couple hundred HP

people when the concept of “energy fighting” is mentioned
Hah, this discussion again.
The Sea Fury is superb. It doesn’t need a B.R change. It’s wickedly fast, climbs very well (similarly to a Ki-84 which isn’t exactly a slug), has great firepower, stupidly good energy retention and is surprisingly agile at speed. In SB I can absolutely bully 109’s and Ki-84’s in it.
It’s the master of boom and zoom/slashing attacks, just don’t get into prolonged turn fights with it.
You have died a count of 23 times on the Sea Fury in simulator battles by May 05.
The Sea Fury is not dominant and you’re just trying to gather enough people to admire you and praise your skills. People that actually know the sea fury in AIR RB will know it’s a wacky plane whose major drawback is not the turn, not the low rip speed, not the straight line speed, not the most fragile flaps right after the spitfire, but the sheer lack of acceleration and loss of thrust and engine power past 340kmh of indicated airspeed. The 109 G-6 literally catches it up at 6km of altitude, even despite the G-6 is a low altitude aircraft and the sea fury is a 4000-5500 flyer.
I’ve literally toyed with sea fury grandmasters on the tu-2, the Do335 and the 109 K4 even though I was on the energy disadvantage.
Hah, this discussion again.
You necroed this post.

(Is slower than any other 5.7 fighter and takes more to reach any speed)
climbs very well (similarly to a Ki-84 which isn’t exactly a slug)
(literally gets out climbed by the AU-1 which is a goddamn attacker)
has great firepower,
Which I agree, but has only 500 rounds
stupidly good energy retention
Yes, because below 500 IAS it just doesn’t turn. That is not good energy retention. Try turning with negative G tapping, while most planes at the BR keep their speed (like P51s) or keep accelerating (like Yak3s and 109s) the sea fury will gradually dump the speed.
and is surprisingly agile at speed. In SB I can absolutely bully 109’s and Ki-84’s in it.
It can bully them in air RB too, in fact it turns tighter than the 109 and can force overshoot Spitfire LF Mk9s, but it can only turn once before turning into a brick with wings. There is an issue , thought. One really has to lack knowledge on their vehicle to simply die to a plane below them.
It’s the master of boom and zoom/slashing attacks, just don’t get into prolonged turn fights with it.
[hysterically laughs in P51 D30 being faster, climbing better and doing pretty much everything else better while a whole BR lower]
The FW190 D9 is just a single kmh slower than the sea fury at sea level, but has workable flaps and actual energy retention. And it turns worse, but having a better engine will help it go vertical against a sea fury and fall on top of it.
