ju 188 has broken and poorly functioning turrets
Tu2 has forward armament and is capable of shooting down fighters and has good maneuverability, which makes it a universal attack aircraft

No
Turrets work well

Worth considering, but after we see in game how they compare to each other, until then its just an unjust nerf.

no. tu2s has 2 front cannons usable by pilot making it decent against other planes, while ju188 has no pilot usable cannons and is only relying on bots for defense(or switching to rear gunner which is extremely clumsy).

The Tu-2s has 150 rounds per gun on its cannons and secondly there are 12.7 turrets and the 188 has a 20mm turret that rotates 360 degrees

theyre not similar. the JU188 can only bomb, not shoot down enemy planes and can barely defend itself as the tail gunners are either bugged or made retarded on purpose. any competent enemy pilot will kill you 100%; also horrible aerodynamics.

the new soviet plane has quite good flying characteristics AND can shoot down planes easily in addition to the ground bombing.

2 significant upgrades in trade for a slightly smaller crew (which most players dont even use to any advantage) puts the soviet plane way above the ju188.

what exactly is the argument here when pilot cant control those turrets. unless you want to ultra buff aimbot on bots so anything getting in their range gets auto sniped.

I was shot down 2-3 times by a 20mm turret in the roof

It’s like they shoot themselves and know how to shoot down planes

Tu 2 is far superior.

Unless they bollocks the flight model up its a beast in warthunder

Having guns and turrets is way better than relying on just turrets

cool story… out of how many times? cause getting shot down 2-3 times if you have taken down 100 ju188 is low…

in direct confrontation tu2s(or any plane with frontal guns) should kill ju188 in over 95% of times.

Yeah it very easy to shoot that plane with p-40 or any soviet plane

I mean its also a point that, if you keep dying to the dorsal turret. Why not stop attacking from where they are most protected then?

Oh hello fella : D welcome to this house of madness

Well the Ju-188…

Thb that plane has nothing special since the american A COG with 12 rockets and the other versión with bombs exists

And with the new TU-2 this plane is on Br5 because 12mm are 12mm far superior to the 7mm mg’s on the JU-188 also if we see maneuverability… Is trash and knowing DF the TU-2 have mg’s and cannons that make You are able to use by your own which in some cases allow You to take down planes while the Ju…seems that is not enjoying the experience against an F4U or a P-47

And I havent go into spreadsheets to make this argumentation more strong to prove to that plane is good where it is

Also why moving it to br5??? I mean… Br4 never exist so it Will be 99% of times uptiered to br 5 so tecnically is a br 5 thing with the br 4 Tag : )

It’s easy to shoot down anything you get the drop on with almost anything else past BR2!

My Ju-188’s used to shoot down US fighters in Normandy regularly if they got to see hte fighter first and could get behind it - that’s certainly not always hte case of course, and if it comes to a turning fight then teh 188 is at a disadvantage, but the front gunners do work quite well and the 20mm are suitably lethal when they do.

My biggest complaint with the Ju-188 is that even with it fully upgraded, 75% of the time when a fighter plane gets behind me and opens up it completely cuts my plane in half. I get great bomb kills with it and love the five man crew since I can bail out and use them as assaulters, but it’s the most un-durable plane I operate. Now my Stuka, at times I have outlasted two or three enemy fighters chewing up the rear of my plane, and still made bomb runs afterwards.

In principle, most aircraft bombings only target AI and suicide infantry who cannot find bunkers and the shortest path.
I guess you always do suicide infantry charges like the AI does
That’s why you became a victim of this plane

This dude put a “krivoi” nickname for fun, he used to have a nickname kharkiv_tank_t64. It s not me
