TU-4 should be lowered to 7.3-7.7, B-29 should be lowered to 6.3-6.7, B-17E should be lowered to 4.3, and B-17G should be lowered to 4.7. Overall, the BRs for four-engine heavy bombers are excessively high, particularly for the TU-4 and B-29. One solution could be to lower their BRs only for Air Battles, without adjusting their BRs for Ground Battles. The B-29 and TU-4 have virtually no survivability when facing jet aircraft; the speed disadvantage is simply too great. Consider allowing the B-29 to face late-war propeller fighters and the TU-4 to face early jets. This would be more historically accurate and balanced. The B-17 and B-24 should also have their BRs lowered. These aircraft lack sufficient defensive capability against fighters within their current BR brackets, regardless of nation. It is hoped their BRs can be reduced by 0.3 to 0.7.
B-29s and Tu-4s airspawn height would have to be lowered then, as most props wouldn’t be able to make it to altitude and would severely struggle against their defensive armament.
It’s not fair for the bombers to face jets, but it wouldn’t be fair for props to have to climb all the way, just to be vaporised.
That depends on your skill level - u might know Hitman:
The B-29s & Tu-4s were mentioned in dozens of threads - the last i remember:
- Gaijin, please lower the BR of the B-29. It can't do anything at 7.3
- B29 = Tu-4. They forgot about the Tu-4. Need to lower br
- B-29 and Tu-4 b.r
- In the name of all that's Holy lower the B-29 BR
- Can the B-29 be given a new rating? It is not useable
As soon as many similar threads exist the chances that your thread get locked increase significantly…
The B-29 was years ago at BR 6.3 and was “killable” with every decent 5.3 prop (like 190 Ds in the old axis vs allies world) - so i would have no issue with that.
There is opened official BR thread, please use it.
