I am a person that likes Trivia and all, so I want to know if there are some really great vehicles (or funny) in the lower half of the TT. I’d love to see some tanks and planes that are worth grinding. Tanmk you in advance!
F4U-4 is 5.3 in SB, but I’ll give her an honorable mention. She’s super nice to fly.
P-51C10 is also super cool, at least in SB. I prefer the cannonstang variant which trades agility and speed for extreme firepower (and has a premium variant).
F6F-5 are beyond my present skill-floor, but I’ve seen them praised a lot in SB.
Now, planes being praised kind of goes against “not a lot of people recognize” but I feel people sleep on american planes enough to warrant a shout-out (unless it’s a germany suffers post).
C205 serie 1 is kinda a weird plane in SB. It’s ludicrously fast at 3.7 and is surprisingly agile, but its guns are awful. It has a cool historical fact to it though - its wings are assymetric! This offsets a lot of the left-turning tendencies and even seems to make flying coordinated easier. I honestly thought the FM was “broken” due to how little I needed to correct with rudder compared to german props but nope, that’s all part of its design!
- P-47D-28/30: Amazing performance but people only notice that it doesn’t climbs well (it climbs well)
- MiG-3-34: x2 20mm ShVAK with 400 rounds at 2.7, air spawn and a good performance at altitude (should be at 3.0 at least)
- Firecrest: Super powerfull engine with airspawn and 12.7 M3 at 2.3
- B-239: Turns like a zero but with good guns
90/53 M41M - A 3.7 tank destroyer for Italy, it’s basically a tractor with a howitzer attached to it. The last time I played it was before the restocking mechanic was added, so it should be even better now that you can bring 16 rounds total with you (it was still fun with only 8).
B7A2- Japanese light bomber at 3.7. It is generally a fun aircraft due to its versatility.
Need to sink a destroyer? It’s got torpedoes.
Need to hit ground targets and bases? 800kg bombs will do the job (works fine as both a high altitude and dive bomber).
Need to intercept a bomber? A bomber spawn and dual 20mm cannons are more than enough.
Attacked by a fighter? 13mm rear turret and good turn speed can give you the fighting chance most bombers lack.
All in all, highly recommend it.
