I was playing a game yesterday in a P-38G and kept getting destroyed by a Bf 109 E-7/U2. I have played the P-38G in War Thunder extensively and all the tricks I would typically use to beat a 109E in that game did not work. He was able to catch up to me in every situation.
I deiced to look at the stats of both aircraft in Enlisted and noticed they very very odd.
The Bf 109 E-7/U2 has far better performance than anything I have ever seen on the aircraft in real life or represented in a sim.
A top speed of 612 kph and a climb rate of 23.84m/s are far above what this aircraft was able to do especially compared to its counterparts.
Granted the aircraft performance stats page in Enlisted offer very little additional information which is important to know such as the altitude the aircraft can perform these stats, but with the case of the Bf 109 E-7/U2, it never reached anywhere near this at any altitude.
I’ve played a lot of aircraft games such as Il-2 and, as I mentioned earlier, War Thunder which represent this aircraft and in neither of them does this aircraft get anywhere near these performance specs.
I felt it very odd that a game based off of War Thunder would have such a drastic change in aircraft performance.
I am very doubtful that the Bf 109 E-7 is the only aircraft with way off stats but it has been most egregious that I can find so far.

I was going to say that the reason it might have been overperforming is because I remember it being one of the earliest Premiums, but I see that they’ve now added it to the tree as well (I don’t recall that variant being available in the tree previously)
Irrespective of that, I still use it at BR III, its by far the best CAS figher on the German side until you get to BR IV.
“Germany suffers”
Also most American planes can only compete and maybe outperform other planes at really high altitudes, thank you turbochargers, which is something you’ll never get in Enlisted.

Play war thunder in realistic mode from the pilot’s view.
In enlisted you only have the first person view, which means the air combat looks completely different.

Well Allies need more planes for sure I don’t even grind BR V planes with Japan cuz the Otsu can kill every US plane in existence xD

bombing sights needed first
suggested it already (the sights) @HarmlessBot1
I don’t know where the DEV’s got a lot of their weapon performance information for this game, but most likely a children’s coloring book then a real tech manual.
some planes are buffed for whatever reason, comparing to WT. it is also the case of the spitfire, the ki-61 and the B5N2, there are probably more.
but the rest is nerfed, because one of the upgrades is broken and maybe because they have full fuel.
