Beaufighter is Reasearch tech 2 but BR 4?

Uh is this a mistake? I feel very out of place to be using an aircraft that is Set to reasearch tioer 2 but bumps me up to fighting tigers and panthers and fockenwulf. This i feel like needs to change ASAP.

Maybe it’s because his rockets can fight against tigers and they also have 20MM machine guns.
This is a very terrible threat to the crybabies in Germany and Japan
You said his turning ability is very poor? But Havoc and 188 are also level 4
However, it is a fact that almost all the early aircraft of the US military were terrible.

its rocket loadout bumps it up. Maybe they will add a lower BR Beaughfighter not so heavily armed later…

or custom loadouts with dynamic BR

Rockets Must have been nerfed cause they glanced off of top armour on panther and tiger.

Doesnt make sense when the beaufighter is so low on the tech tree, it empededs getting tier 2 and 3 fighters

Would make more “organisational” sense yes. But Tier doesnt matter. Only BR

If he can’t destroy King Tiger in a vertical dive
Then I support his downgrade
Because aircraft that cannot destroy Tiger tanks have no value in advanced environments.

That’s because its BR was changed a while ago, since Tier =/ BR, it’s just for progression

The improvement you’re talking about is just making his rockets unable to damage the tiger?
He has been at level 4 for at least half a year
Is this called a recent change?
