Why is the f8f1b so overtiered?

I dont really understand it. The only diffrence between the 4.7 and the 6.3 f8f are the guns. Does it really deserve to go that high in battle rating just for 2 extra 20mm

It’s F8F-1 undertiered, not F8F-1B overtiered.

is there a sweetspot for these things or what ?

It’s not about sweet spot - f8f simply performs well, and they even unlocked the rudder

I never had an f8 before. I am griding the french f8 right now. I will see how it performs. It just seems weird that 2 extra 20mm warrants almost a whole 2 brs higher

F8F is at least 5.3-5.7 itself, but the 50cals do lack power. anm3s hit much harder, so it’s more effective (and efficient) in killing with the fast low alt top speed (and fixed rudder)

I dont get what this is supposed to mean. Does the early f8f just lock the rudder up easily ?. Also since the latest bug fest of an update guns don’t work. They claim to have fixed it but I swear to god 20mm hispanos fire nerf darts now.

locked but not now. They points on enemies faaaaarrr better than before at high speeds. Much better in aiming

Nobody knows, nobody actually believes that they can fix everything this fast. Especially after a bad fixing on missiles that did not fix missiles but made guns bugged. btw guns bug is a bug from years before when they added realshatter…

They basically added ghostshells to air rb. I claim they will ever fix it since its “good enough” there is still a low chance that the missile does 0 damage. Basicaly a ghost missile
