Why is it that plane enjoyers accept and don’t complain about getting shot down by better higher BR planes,

Well cuz its totally different you can destroy BR V planes even with a Zero there is even some BR I planes that can destroy BR V planes while King Tiger can be penetrated by very few guns in game…

@Valkay

Even 12,7mm MG is enough to penetrate the top of the vehicle and kill the crew.

Yeah but the problem is allies don’t have good BR V fighters the only 1 is behind a pay wall… against Germany is not a big deal cuz German fighters are boom and zoom however against Japan the Japanese BR V and BR IV fighters are amazing and they dominate the sky most of the times at the moment the western allies are really the weakest faction at BR V when it comes to vehicles but at BR III Japan are really weak so Japan and US/UK are far from complete compared to SU and GE. Japan and US need a lot more planes

[gastanofrizzi]

Indeed Allies good fighter plane are the BR1-2 hurricane and spitfires, and they should get something at least a bit better of the f4f in the TT for BRIV-V

[Life_burns]

yeah the spitfire can go even against BR V sadly it has no bombs if it had it would be BR IV easily

[gastanofrizzi]

Yep also, The bigger issue is aganaist tank Hispano cannon still doesn’t work as the soviet one aganaist tank

[Life_burns]

yeah and the ammo is limited that’s why I’m waiting for the Tempest …

Bamboo spear
this could act as a budget melee weapon (possibly throwable) weapon cheaper then an axe or shin gunto,actually used as weapons during the close of the war.

Documentation shows that bamboo spears were used as early as Papa New Guinea; it would really be mid-war to late war, making it all the more reason to be added to the game. Pay respects to @SexyTent for bringing this information to light.

Gone but not forgotten

Add bamboo spears to the Japanese arsenal of melee weapons

MANDATORY RULE FOR THREAD PARTICIPATION: You must read the entirety of the document presented [image] What can I say? I was as shocked as you currently are. But before you make up your mind on this, hear me out: think about how cool it would be to be able to attack an enemy with a spear. You can charge with it, you can throw it, and you can stab with it. The best part is that Enlisted has all of the functions in the game to make this work. They can reuse the throwing/aiming animation for the…

Add bamboo spears to the Japanese arsenal of melee weapons

I posted it, but I’m retracting it. When I was reading the strategy research materials written by the Japanese military at the time of the war, I learned that they officially deployed bamboo spears to their troops in the battle for New Guinea. They’re crazy. [2016081321560990b] Half of the 4,500 soldiers in the 20 divisions were armed with bamboo spears. It is written.

Add bamboo spears to the Japanese arsenal of melee weapons

In the Battle of New Guinea, the Japanese forces lost air and sea control to the Allies and were unable to resupply. According to the operational documents they wrote, during the offensive on June 15, 8,000 men of the 40th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army (equipped only with rifles, 40 rounds per man, and one hand grenade) and 4,500 men of the 20th Division (half of whom had only bamboo spears) joined forces to engage the Australians. Most were killed in action. [C19010310100.C1463900001…

Mitsubishi Ki-109 Heavy Fighter/Interceptor

In consideration of Germany’s Hs 129 B-3 with its 75 mm BK 7.5 cannon, I would like to suggest a Japanese analogue for the sake of content, fun and variety at the same BR rating of 1; it requires equal precision and all the same downsides of such a plane with a considerably large gun of limited ammo capacity. The Mitsubishi Ki-109 Heavy Fighter/Interceptor. It was a modification of the Ki-67 Bomber, designed with the purpose of taking down American B-29 planes with it’s 75mm Type 88 anti-aircr…

Hopefully spitfire mk IX with bomb will apear one day. Monster.

Hellcat is really good too for US but currently only event/premium

as for other Good US Fighters (for Low alt scrapping and CAS) I really only rate the P-63A-10 Aircobra. This is a good scrapper, at least in warthunder (I dont know if the Soviet premium flight model is any good)

Spitfire LF Mk IXc will be good 15 s turn time not bad at all its my favorite choice. spitfire mk IX and Lf Mk IXc simply must be in the game
