SB2C doesn’t have a bombsight much like the JU-87s
But JU-87s aren’t rank III so they are left to rot, you can even look at at the american SB2C C-4, it isn’t rank III and it is a rarity to see even if it a tech tree vehicle.
They should 100% come down to a strike spawn.
Totally agree. Wearing my tin foil hat i would even claim that gaijin has created the JP/Thai version to lower JP win rates on purpose.
Why? A hell of pure tankers fly them and especially in small 6 vs 6 matches on Pacific maps they are for every experienced pilot free kills - and when you have 3 of them i your JP team you are usually doomed if US/UK has just one smart pilot.
I dunno about that, but if Japans Win rates plummet then I am all for that. So many of Japans WW2 aircraft are overtiered currently, and while the B7A2 is not one of them, they could definitely use some revision.
B7A2’s roll rate and 20mil ballistics are 2 achilles heel ot it compared to the SB2C’s (which I believe high performance is a weak point on it compared to B7A2’s)
Disagree on 20mm ballistics, uses the Type 99 mod 2. Those guns are fine. Would agree more with the Mod 1s if it had those.
Role rate definitely though. But the SB2C loses too much speed and energy in a turn that it can never get back, which the B7A2 can. (Especially the Homare 23 one). So I find you get one big turn and chance in the SB2C to get the kill, and then you are a sitting duck unless you are able to fly back towards the base and do a hard reset which can take several minutes to get the altitude and energy back.
Ill choos a slower roll rate any day of the week over that imo
