Ah yes. A buff so useful the plane is still worse than the D-22. Mm’yeah. Okay. sure.
it still sucks balls I see no flight performance ‘buff’ when the plane still takes 6 minutes to get any reasonable altitude and sluggishly slews itself around because it’s engorged on too much fuel. Sounds like you’re the dense one here.
Using ‘muh realism’ to argue for why a plane needs to fly around with too much fuel, while you can literally blow planes in half with one 20mm cannon. Lel.
“I don’t think La-5 ever flew above 3000m because the pilots had to keep their canopy doors open to keep from gassing themselves with their own exhaust fumes.”
And you would likely be right. There was no reason to. However, just because they never did doesn’t mean they couldn’t. The option should still be there. The reasoning exists in this game; it is a game, and matches are comparatively short to a real life, properly planned flight. No one in real life would ever take off with that little fuel, due to practical purposes, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have done it at all.
Not realistic, and it does happen, multiple times. You can blow planes in half with one 20mm mineshell which shouldn’t be happening. You can test it yourself. Already had this discussion on another thread and as usual, turns out I’m right. A plane’s structural integrity can withstand multiple impacts of 20mm fire unless an ammo explosion or something major was hit that caused loss of the aircraft. But go on, explain to me how singular 20mm shells can cause bombers to split in two.
I think they should be 7.0. ;)
Yes, the “Buff” is due to the weight reduction. That’s literally it.
