As a War Thunder player who likes flying planes on RB (sometimes SB), I’ve played Ju 87 mostly since I got it and it is honestly underwhelming. Progressing upgrades is so far the slowest in all the squads that I have played and here are some reasons contributing to it:
-
The field of view feels small. My suggestion here is to increase the FOV specifically for pilots. Maybe just a bit enough to see some important flight instruments.
-
The render distance is low, can’t see anything until I get few hundred meters above ground. Like the other testers have suggested, please increase the render distance for pilots.
-
Bombs sometimes bounce once it hits the ground. I have witnessed this from other planes several times before (as infantry). This of course is wasted potential damage especially when bombing capture points since you have to go back and reload. Bombs should explode as they hit anything solid.
-
Bombs are currently effective only on open areas. Causing building damage is most probably impossible with the game engine so I just hope explosions could penetrate buildings. Maybe damage troops 1 floor below the roof it hits.
-
Given how hard it is to get a kill using a plane, the EXP gain for pilot is VERY very slow. Among the squads I have so far, this one is the slowest and hardest to grind. It is fun to use, just frustrating.
-
Propeller gets too shiny sometimes. At certain angles, the gloss just blocks the view or sometimes it blinks on your face.
-
Parachuting please for emergency!
And being able to shoot pistol while descending… I don’t know, I think it’s just cool lol.
These are my opinions so far. Feel free to comment yours if you think something could be better.
