These planes are the sole airforce of germany at high BR,and all the planes in it just lose out compared to 2 single planes in the western allies’ arsenal at similar BR,the AP4c and the P47.these 2 planes have very very high applicability against infantry and to a smaller extent tanks (you can pen tanks from the top with HVARs if you try and the 500lb bomb on the P47 is plenty for any tank),and their ability to fight other aircraft is also very potent as the AP4C has 4x20mm cannons and the P47 has 8x12.7mm MGs,in addition both can be used simultaneously by 2 seperate people.this leads the plane game to be imbalanced quite heavily when germanys late game aircraft have the flight performance of a bathtub and the turn speed of a battleship,or have absolutely no anti infantry armament to speak of.I will list some changes to the german plane line and 2 additions to it. Before I start,i would like to say,the US has gotten the pershing that can kill the king tiger AND you are getting the super pershing as well,so arguing about balancing regarding tanks is pointless, and if this suggestion does happen it will probably happen when that is added anyways.
late BF109 G variants get 250kg bomb-these aircraft are fine at dogfighting,but are pointless to use after you are done,whereas US fighters have suspended armaments to use afterwards.these planes can use one of these bombs (the other option I was thinking of would be a flame bomb,but I dont think that would be of much use).in exchange for having better turn speed compared to US aircraft like the P51,AP4,ext.,it has an armament with less power (P51 with 2x500 lbs bombs that are roughly the same as 250kg bombs and AP4 with 8xHVARs that are massively against infantry).the reason I’m not going to suggest one for the BF 109 K4 is because that one can only use a 500kg bomb and im pretty sure that would be labeled as overpowered immediately.
move FW variants to BR4-these planes are a pain to use,no other way to put it,they roll like crazy,the turn speed is higher than 98% of all planes in game,and the armaments are just meh.the 190 A8 has less 20mm ammo than the AP4c,higher turn speed,and the 2 slightly better rockets don’t compare to the 8 slightly worse rockets of the AP4.the 190 D12 has again,later turn speed than the P47 (and the JU87 D5,ill mention that again in a second),its “counterpart” for high teir bomber,and its armament is the same as the JU87 D5,with the changes being a lot less 20mm ammo,a 30mm cannon with only 60 rounds,no tail gunner,and some 13mms.the 190 D9 premium is little better than those 2 in term of suspended armament with 8x 50kg bombs,but primary armament takes a blow by having only 2x20mms compared to 4 of the A8,along with the horrendous turn speed and handling.to move these variants to BR4 would give the figher variants to where the AP4c is in BR and the bomber will get a replacement for BR5 (see below)
New BR5 bomber,DO 335 B2-a very fast prop plane that would have 1x500kg bomb and 2x250kg bombs

New BR5 figher,Re.2005 serie 0-an italian figher similar to the G.55 already in game,but with a better armament.it could have either the same 2x100kg bombs as the G.55 or a single 250kg bomb.
