Since SU-9 (1946) is clearly post-war, there’s no discussion about it, then it needs to be BR6 with ±0 MM.
Similarly, German, American and Japanese jets also go to BR6.
Since we now have BR6, we can move the prototypes that never ever saw WW2 combat there too – T20, Hyde, Autohei, AS-44, RD-44, AVT-40 (20), Ho-Ri, JapTiger, T-34-100 all go to BR6 as well.
Pershing, Super Pershing, King Tiger, STG-44, FG-42-2 and AVT-40 (15) are now left without “counterwwights” (honestly, who cares) so they can be either moved to BR6 too or nerfed enough to stay at BR5.
For all I care, this fantasy BR6 can be made “all maps for all BRs, free for all, Japan against Germany in Stalingrad”, so that they don’t complain about “lack of players” – fantasy weapon enjoyers will all be stroking each other’s bolts in a single player pool.
As a result we can have:
Much more authentic BRs 1-5 with weapons and vehicles actually used in WW2
The “i don’t care about WW2 I just wanna win bro” crowd gets their own playground
I think Germany should keep its jet at br5 tho since they used it while the allies used theirs for defending their land and supposedly never went over enemy territory
well im getting it all from google lol but it says German jets shot down over 500 planes while allies had around 50 also the 20 month thing might have been about the jets taking flights but google insist that Germany had jets on the western front while the meteor was only in friendly air space
it is possible to kill them but I think the issue is that the meteor is super efficient when it comes to CAS and mobility while other jets only have 1 bomb and low ammo
Me 262 needs it’s second bomb. you can clearly see it’s missing one.
Königstiger should stay BRV where it is.
But Jets specifically need to be removed. Much as I hate to advocate for content removal this case is just… necessary. Jets make every other plane unplayable.
I don’t personally care about fighting with Jets, I would rather have the option to be able to play only other solo players and opt out of group matches.
I only play Japan at BR V and I like the jets. I can pretty reliably hunt down and kill Meteor’s with a few bursts from the main gun of the Kikka, so I really don’t see the enemy jets as an issue.
For Soviets, USA, and Germany I only play BR III so I don’t really deal with the jets from the other countries. I think they are fair for BR V as BR V should have the highest tier vehicles.
Flying 20 months earlier is not necessarily an advantage - the HeS 3 in the 278 was a dead end that was AFAIK not developed into any production variant nor contributed to the BMW or Jumo jets that did see service.
The Whittle engine however was a direct precursor to the Welland and then Derwent engines that equipped the Meteor I and III respectively.
