And what about Fighters that are perfect as Attackers? From their own terminology Fighters (and sometimes Interceptors and Bombers) will not be effected, only those they deemed as “Strike/Attackers”, which is often just a Gaijin decision.
I’m still pretty they’re going only to apply it to high tiers. I honestly see them using this as an excuse to add more advanced CAS load outs that they’ve been holding back.

Hopefully the separate BR for ARB and GRB will sort the Wythern out as it is fine at 4.3 GRB and much needed for the UK in what is a sad set up in many ways for ground forces.
Good CAS makes the UK vaguely enjoyable.
I think SPAA and needs similar treatment as well but the is another topic.

Both Typhoons are superior due to versatility (Non-premium is better and access to some cool skins if you like that; I do) Of course Wyvern gets 1 extra singular bomb drop and mk Vs, but Typhoon can dog fight at low alt and overall more manoeuvrable (good for GF alts and getting load on target).
Wyvern in GF in theory would go up due to bomb load, but we have no idea which metrics Gaijjn will use as “successful” (as most players use vehicles poprly) so we won’t know yet. And in theory as noted above the “target audience” might be the more modern jets. The Wyvern however is just another vehicle that performs better due to being left unchecked; as we know people’s attitudes vary wildly on such a subject.
GB has a lot to offer in Air in GF at this BR, just never going to match US or RU (Germany have great superiority fighters but most planes do not excel at low alts).
The SPAA is also “existing” at this BR, a lot in fact. But just like a plane as air defence there is a learning curve. But then GB get a lot bunched tigether and hit a gap before Falcon/Marksman, so maybe 5.7+ GB needed an option or two (many Nations in same boat).
This topic however is more geared to its use in ARB where it is literally spammed, until we find out the reality of Gaijin’s attempts to split BRs per mode.

Wyverns and XP-50s are the bane of War Thunder.
Wyverns are better than many fighters of the period (being post a war aircraft) because of their supreme speed.
XP-50s because they get an interceptor start.
Okay, you want something for buying a premium, but if you come up against a team of “can do anything” Wyverns/Xp50s, then you are likely to lose. Should Gaijin allow players to buy their way to victory? I was once unlucky enough to come up against a team entirely of Wyverns & XP50s. Can you guess what happened?

Not gunna disagree with this but…
Its the same speed of the same BR spitfire and actually slower than the Typhoon.
In my opinion, neither the Xp-50 or Wyvern are actually all that OP on their own. They just have air spawn when they dont need it. Remove that, then they are perfectly balanced for their BRs.
The wyvern isnt better than any fighter at its br its better at killing idiots who sit AFK climbing at the start or try to chase it in a climb and stall themselves out.
The only thing the wyvern has going for it in ARB is its speed at sea level being around 600-630kph since you aren’t ever going to maintain that 650kph absolute which means if you’re sitting above a wyvern you can really easily dive on one and temporarily outspeed it enough to force them to attempt defensive flying or chance running away, any hard turns the wyvern makes will kill its speed and its acceleration is only really good at low speeds.

I’m tired how wyverns were abused as super prop fighters with airspawn. Not a single game without a horde wyverns farming enemy strike aircraft (true strike aircraft…) or bombers.
They could at least re-classify it as fighter, to remove this airspawn.

Reclass no, kinda hoping they do something with that in the future, but could just remove air spawn. XP-50s too

I wonder if you can bring 15 or less minutes of fuel in it now, and on the hornet. Pretty aids
I don’t think anyone actually likes coming up against a team of Wyverns and XP-50s. Do you? The Wyvern outruns most fighters at its BR (on even terms). Some say idiots use them because they have no skill? Have you ever come up against non-idiots that can use them? 5-6 kills per match. And if you are going for a high ground kill-streak for a battle task then forget it (you aren’t going to outscore them on a target per target basis).
um no it doesnt. Guess you were being sarcastic, right?
Yes, hence the image showing it very clearly not needing a buff.
Ha ha! If I had to chose any aircraft to up the BR then the post war (dec 1946/served mainly in the 50’s, at least 5 years after ww2 ended) W would indeed get my nod over something like the XP50. In the right hands it’s just too good.
I should have feel super embarrassed for having a 0.1 KDR with the Wyvern, since I have no interest of flying I couldn’t absorb any informations when someone took me to flying school. I think shitheads like me has something to do with maintaining the br of this aircraft who many considers OP, forgive me bros

Ah but if you can master it it’s a right pain in the ass. I refuse to buy one, because it does look out of place with late WWII aircraft.
Actually there is a problem with a lot of premium aircraft. Take the Ju288c. I marked a target in my B17 but a guy in a 288 completely ignored me, proceeded to bomb the target and shoot me up with his cannons just enough so that if I crashed he wouldnt have got the teamkill for it. I barely made it back without bombing anything. Fustrated bomber pilots will find Wyvern flyers tend to ignore your pleas for not bombing your marked targets too, just because they are faster than you and you can do nothing to them if you are in a bomber…
Nothing to stop them bombing a target if they mark it first though, so I think this sort of think could easily be stopped if only the original target marker gets the full credit if he gets to bomb that target (1/4 being awarded to the ignorant if they ignore you) otherwise it’s pretty pointless taking a big bomber out at all (try ground pounding in one and the flak gets you quickly as you are a big target).

Doesnt need a nerf either it fine where it is something like the xp-50 though needs to be moved up or should have its airspawn removed
German and Russian players are the ones who cry the most about the XP-50 because it’s the first time they have an aircraft get a dominant altitude advantage over them and forcing them to side climb. Like how most U.S. aircraft have to. Lol

The difference between being forced to sideclimb in the p-51 to fight bf-109 and the Xp-50 is that the p-51 will outperform a 109 in every aspect at high alt but require actual skill at low alt the XP-50 though will straight up outperform anything it sees at any alt it should not be 4.0 it has better performance than any of the 4.3 and most of the 4.7 aircraft while having an airspawn
