RIP
p47
Please refer to “Thunder of War”, it’s the players’ fault that you don’t understand the developers’ good intentions to reduce revenue
When the player thinks that the aircraft OP is not for you to nerf the aircraft, they can turn everything into cotton candy without damage, but this is not fun at all. It’s like a murder to this game.
I/we testers can’t answer something I/we are not in a position to do, nor have the information to provide.
I hope you understand we can’t talk about details of our job.
Please refer to “Thunder of War”, the advice of player testers is not infallible.
So I understand, go for it and flog the planners and programmers as much as you can.

Agreed.
But an aircraft that launches lots of cotton candy is something I would like to see as well.
They should do this next year for April Fool’s Day.
Many planes (except for the uber P47) already struggled to have an impact on the ground that would compensate the long flight times and the fact that you don´t have any influence on cap points as you have with infantry.
The Moscow nerfs for the I-15, IL-2 and Bf110 as well as all the Tunisia changes and some axis nerfs in Normandy appear like a big step backwards in that regard. Also I thought till this day that the solid performance of the P47 is kind of a balance feature for the fact that allies have inferior tanks and infantry weapons in Normandy.
The impact of some of those nerfs are though dependent on the fact if the new loadout is single-drop or actually multi. The tandem drop of the 250kg bombs of the Bf110 in moscow was always a complete waste in my opinion.
It’s rare but I could say I feel like I hate this “rebanlance” because I play Berlin as the Soviets. The win rate is just 33%, even if I get top 30% most of the times (and the German side is 80% for me…), and they still nerf IL10, its definetely NOT a so-called banlance! Oh it’s so annoying!
Also, please remind developers not to have repeatedly passed such actions to hide the fact that they are wasting time and delaying the work schedule of major updates.
Don’t join the game with political diversions from the masses.
The only “justifiable” change here is the P-47, and why are the 51c and d the same plane now? Completely unnecessary changes. I do like bigger bombs overall on the fighters though, maybe it’ll make them feel a bit more consistent.
Damn i played the tunis campaign only to unlock a stuka with a single 500kg bomb… It was a unique plane.
All stukas got multiple small bombs, but the R2 got a single 500kg bomb, perfect for awesome precision strike gameplay… It is the worst stuka, if not even worst plane…
R.I.P. Stuka R2 - he was the best stuka, but no one beats time (and dev nerfs)
what the f*ck???
I never thought I’d one day say this because I hated HVAR spam but…
The p47 nerf is too big. I’d at least give 6 rockets, not just 4.
All their nerfs are unjustified, and unwanted. All they needed to do was perfect AA a bit, and teach players to use it.

Fox, come on, look here.
These changes are cancelled.
We discussed your feedback with the developers. We decided to wait until the new meta-game is released, then collect more detailed statistics on aviation, leaving the feedback on the vehicles on this list.
Thanks to everyone who tried to provide valuable feedback. It was very helpful.
