R2Y2, really worth 8.0?

More skilled, yet you claimed/implied that the F-80C had no chance against the R2Y2, yet it came out on top. Reliably.

Before missiles become commonplace, many of your individual engagements will be akin to 1v1s as both will be maneuvering to try to shoot the other down. Being faster allows you to simply avoid aircraft you don’t want to fight or quickly exit an unfavorable situation. The R2Y2 cannot do this.

No, I was very specific in my statements about the R2Y2 and F-80C, and “no chance” was never implied nor claimed.

It went 4:9 bc you dont know how to play against someone that isnt the regular player, not just in 1v1s, its the same reason i got a kd of almost 10 on the R2Y2, normal lobbys are full of people that have a kd of 0.6-1.0 in everything, Im not trying to insult you or anything like that at all.

I have been playing competitively for quite a few years, so I can say for sure which plane is better without even playing it.

The funniest part is they just announced the upcoming BR changes and after so many people suffered in the R2Y2s for months in order to get them before they get removed, Gaijin still ignores their coveted stats and change nothing. after playing for what is now 10 years, nobody can convince me this “game” is about fun and not just pure torture of the playerbase.

ikr lmao, i just give it the same playstile i do with the Ki-200, climb high and dive to get kills, doing normal right now, but it still sucks being slow (i love ground pounding on this thing whe no enemy is arround)
