This BP feels like the last gasp of something long dead

What a nothingburger.
After a slightly more interesting battle pass than what we had for like over a year before WZ we are back at copypaste + gimmick streak. Hell yeah.
Why can’t we get something like 76 sheri, Cent Mk 2, M6A2E1 or T-10A?
At least the warbond shop is better.

one of the Comandanti Medaglie d’Oro class destroyer was going to be named after Mario Milano, but it was cancelled before it was even laid down.
so Comandante Margottini is as close as you’re gonna get in WT

If they implement it correctly, it should have the improved engine DB 605 AM(modified German DB605A-1(M) engine - MW-50 system, changed RPM Limiter and different compression rate), the redesigned front section of the plane(VDM), different air intake, and a different canopy and an inverted throttle.

A nice offering worth the price…been a while!
probably around 6.0/6.3 (sadly)
That’s were i have serious doubts.
I mean the main advantage of flying an Italian plane with a German engine was always that you could fly them with infinite WEP settings (= WEP the whole match without overheating) by adjusting the coolers and the proppitch - whilst prop pitch adjustments in DB 600 series engines in a 109 killed their engine.
So i will try a testflight before i buy the BP - if they fiddled with the thermodynamics and prop pitch of the current Re 2005 and made them worse they won’t see a cent.
We talk about a 1943 plane.
What is commonly known as “superprop” are mainly US post war aircraft - stuff that came so late that they never saw combat. Almost nobody knows that even the Mk 22 & 24 Spits never saw combat in WW 2 - same as Bearcat, Tigercat, P-51 H-5, F4U-4B - or were just single postwar prototypes like the Yak-3U…

In sim time ago I activated MEC by mistake on a 109 right after takeoff, engine instantly died, I glided to the field just to get the message “your plane is critically damaged and cannot be repaired” I was like “WTF?!”
And it will probably end facing Korean war aircrafts
The standard TT variant kicks ass at that BR. If this new one isn’t higher than 6.3 it’s all good.
When it was released I even put a talisman on it and I was so happy, but still at that br there are too many faster planes that just run away. And I stopped flying it because of the exaggerated repair cost. I mean a 1943 plane against post war superprops is a bit, how can I say? Weird, plus repairing it cost like a modern era jet…
Level 75 is a vehicle I don’t care about and the level 80 warbond ground vehicle I already have? Praise Gaijin. I can kick back this season.

A couple nice vehicles this time. Surprising to see both are Italy but I’m not complaining about that.
I think for warbonds I’ll be getting Chi-Nu II, a rank IV bluewater talisman then if I have enough left over, the MS 444.
Solid advice - but I have only 60% winrate and no friends oooooops :)

Thanks for the advice! I don’t have this plane, but the Thai SB2C works similarly, right ?
I’m definately interested in that beautiful fighter plane.
Selection of decals and decorators is fantastic too, as well as the profile pic and loading screen.
Would love if you brought back the low tier reward though. I miss it. It’s strange not having a ground vehicle in this battle pass, there should always be at least one of each vehicle type.
Your winrate can and will go up with a good/organized squad . . . and there aren’t that many people in the player base that have over 55% winrate anyway, so . . . . that is by no means a disadvantage.
Heck, go play so matches in the vehicles at the BRs you felt best suited to try it and ask in the chat if anyone wants to squad up for a few. When you get some “takers”, play some, if it goes well, make the proposition about the GE wagers. (at least they are playing the same thing, makes getting a squad together a lot easier I think)
Meet new peeps, make some friends and get a “GE wager squad” built up.
It takes a little planning, yeah, but as I mentioned, once you get the hang of it, can go pretty well and make some GEs . . . nothing to lose really . . . better than letting the wagers “stagnate” in your inventory anyway

I’m only afraid that it means we will get close to nothing new for Italy next update, because “you have just received 2 new vehicles through a battle pass!”.
