Sounds like we cannot discuss Ken Miles because Bruce McLaren won the race.
Even if F8F-1 isn’t “STRONGEST” at its BR, as long as she is overperforming, we can discuss.
Especially when the main topic of the thread is her.
First fair take from you on this topic… :/
It is your own right to prefer P-51C over F8F-1, right?
Personal preferences…
First of all, F8F-1 is 4.7BR instead of 4.3BR
4.7-3.3= 1.0(X), 1.4(O)
Are you discussing the vehicle which you don’t know?
:kekw:
I never touched original Bearcat, but if it’s the same as the canon one performance-wise, ths is absolutely criminal at 4.7. Maybe 4 .50 cals is not that much, but, as a good man said: Weak armament means little if you can create infinite amount of firing solutions due to your overwhelming flight performance.
It’s not overperforming. Not by a long shot. pretty much every other plane is better.
If you think she isn’t overpowered…
I reckon that it is because you excluded almost every other plane, which is worse than F8F-1 in the name of ‘no one plays it’
You wiped them out from the table.
Just like how Galm wiped B7R. :/
Oh, just for clarification, of course I didn’t include Heavy Bombers such as B-17 or Stilling in 4.7BR. :P
We explained why you were wrong, and it seems you are the one who doesn’t listen.
Beakcat as a boom-zoom plane cant keep the sight on the enemy for long, therefore its performance aint that good.
Its stupid to count cacti that needs a BR made lower to proof that F8F needs a br made higher, isnt it?
Yes, I excluded B-17 which clearly means F8F is undertiered
Is it tho? I played 6.3 version and could comfortably dogfight anything that isn’t a dogfight monster like Yak-3U at low altitude or Mk 24 spit at 5 kilometers
Problem is, apart of those there arent many options to meet. You may certainly meet the Tempest, but its more maneuverable. And them Japs are also no-go to maneuver. Germans are less maneuverable for sure, and i think you`ll be at even terms with late Mustang and Super Corsair. With exceptions of course, it makes F8F a boom-zoom plane. Its just safer that way as 4x20s are pretty good. But with MGs? I had a bad time trying to shoot down some planes.
Only B-17? I think not. I think you excluded more than just B-17.
There are more planes exists more than just Yak and Spirfire.
Hmm… seems now even reading isn’t a skill of yours…
You know that there is not just boom-zoom and “hold S” playstyles?
Feel free to 1v1 anybody using another 4.7 that is not a yak-3 or spitfire and see what happens
Well, even if we consider your claim is right, just for arguing’s sake.
1- Gaijin doesn’t care about those rubbishes, so sending overperforming one higher is the only option.
They told us that “Not enough statistics-”
2- Your take just sounds similar to Pangolin’s one.
that are two general terms applied to the basic positioning of a plane. Sure you`ll describe something as general as third option right?
Doesnt it? I see several machines moved down each BR change as they get bad.
P-47, F4U, La-5/9, Bf-109, Typhoon, honestly all I can think of that’s actually worse than a bearcat is just attackers and bombers. Maybe the french VB.10 is worse, but again the only way to make the F8F look good is by comparing it to the worst planes it faces.
The only actual fighter that’s genuinly worse is the P-51D-5/20, but that thing’s just a steamy pile of shit anyways.
Sure, Typhoon v.s Bearcat. Not right now though, I gtg
Energy fighting. It doesn’t rely on your turn performance, or top speed like other 2.
which is in fact a part of runand-gun strategy? I mean maybe i misunderstand something but it sure does sound like the main principle of boom-zoom.
Please leave the kitchen and never ever cook again.
Oh shit, Squish is here
After she misses the golden time and gets rotten. Isn’t it?
So… you excluded others just for rationalise your take…
In the name of ‘Noone plays it’ again…
A6M3 mod.22, C.205, Ki-61… and such…
