Not if their hard earned RP and SL got refunded and put into researching another vehicle.
laughs histerically on the grave of immersion which was already deader then a doorknob because of BR compression
(No attack on you btw, just an observation of mine I always keep at hand when it comes to “immersion” and War Thunder)
I ask you as well, what else could an SPAA visually similar to Ostwind with 2x 37mm guns could be?
Spoiler

From what I’ve read these Ostwind IIs were equipped with 3,7 cm Flakzwilling 43

The issue has never been if the Ostwind II existed, because it did.
The issue is how the Ostwind II existed. Because regarding that… we have no concrete proof.
check disc, there is plenty of sources on its existence for you
That configuration was rejected very early in Ostwind II development since the vehicle would be too tall.
We know the guns would be side by side, at least. Until someone finds better proof it will remain as is, but it is undeniable it existed.
I can do that once I have access to my computer again. I’m on my apple watch current moment
Btw, friendly reminder a mod could come and smite us all to oblivion at any moment.
This has stopped being about BR changes long ago…
Yea I’m done until I see those sources Noah mentioned anyways.
If I recall correctly the same source you’re providing, that being Vladimír Francev mentioned at least once that the recovered Ostwind IIs were equipped with Flakzwilling 43
(I am unsure on this but it might’ve been in section of vehicles showcased to Czechoslovak MoD)
I would have to translate the whole thing sometime and give it a good read. But Flak44 IIRC is identical to Flak43, with the exception that the feed side can be swapped. It would be easy to confuse them if not already familiar with the project.
Don’t worry. With a buff to Pz 4 reload (5 seconds) it will likely be joining the Chi Nu II at 4.3 soon.
Anyways…
Vehicle(s): R2Y2 (All versions)
Gamemode: All
Change: 0.3-0.7 BR reduction
Reason: These things suffer from not being available to a major part of the playerbase, inflating their stats because only people with a decent amount of experience even have the chance to fly them. But that does not take away that their performance compared to other jets around 8.0 is pretty abysmal and that they are more comparable with jets found around 7.0-7.3. Hence, they should finally be allowed to go down. Especially the R2Y2 V1, which suffers from having its engines under the wings providing a worse flight performance over the V2 and V3.
AIR REALISTIC
J2M3 5.7 → 5.3
It has worse handling and climb performance than J2M2(5.0) due to higher weight, and much worse performance at medium and high altitude than J2M5(5.7) due to a worse engine. It is a straight downgrade from J2M5 and not really worth playing, unless to just progress past the “J2M” vehicle folder. At the BR of 5.7 there are many threats at higher altitude you cannot contest and it lacks the speed to fight vehicles like Yak-3U at low altitudes.
Unfortunately even the extremely similar R2Y2s require separate posts per plane. I’ve already done them in Air and Ground Realistic.
Gun was built. Good enough for me.
all I know -
Damn. Well, let’s hope that more people posting about them at least makes Gaijin aware of the issue.
Not getting my hopes up though
It ultimately depends on player statistics. R2Y2s aren’t doing so good on statshark at least, that’s a good sign.
