someone forgot to tell that to meteor…

Oh, it has amazing turn rate yes.

But try to keep it turning… it loses speed very fast, and is perhaps the worst of all jets to get it back.

Those are made for large maps :thinking:

well i would take meteor over jabo every time. i dont care about speed that much(if it easily gets 400+) and meteor has best turning rate and climb rate out of almost every US plane(except hurricane iirc).

every other jet is just one trick pony that is easy target for most other planes with better handling.

Oh, ofc Meteor is easier to handle and has the huge advantage of being a Commonwealth plane (eheheh I’m a TeaBoo)

But it has shortcomings that can be exploited by good pilots. It’s very bad (compared to other jets) at REGAINING lost energy.
So after one or two turns, it’s easy picking for anything really.

  • The Jabo is good at regaining energy, even if it doesn’t turn well.
  • The Kikka regains energy well, and is the KING of climbing. Nothing climbs as fast.
  • The Su is fast, and got doom canons, making it’s bomb not even necessary!
  • The Meteor is Commonwealth so great , turns like a champ and got 2 bombs.

So. All jets have their specialty.

I like the Jabo. Is it a good fighter? Yes. As good as Meteor? No.
But Jabo has sweet, sweeeet 30mm… that can also strafe the ground to good effect. Not worthless.

i agree with you about strengths and weaknesses of all jets, just that i find some of the strengths worthless for enlisted.

e.g. jabo is excellent if there is no opposition in enemy team. speed, cannons and bomb make it excellent attacker plane. if there is enemy plane it depends on if you can spot it first. also map size constrain it really hard so it is unsuitable for enlisted dogfights.
meteor on other hand has versatility where it is good as CAS and excellent as fighter on downside of regaining speed(but only compared to other jets).
i didnt try kikka nor su, so i wont be commenting them. will need couple of days with them to see how i like them both.

27

Yes.

I even made a suggestion about it. Those are zoom n boom planes but can’t maneuver :sweat_smile: with a bigger radius, there wouldn’t be a problem.

28

i usually just turn doing loops and immelmamns with jabo and hope that enemy has either shit plane or that he is just shit player. kinda dont want to spend minutes trying to dodge enemy if it is on my tail just to end up getting killed if player is skilled.

It only need to get bigger bombs and buff it’s stats a bit. A6M3 needs even bigger buff as it’s a BR3 plane with almost the same stats as A6M3.

I agree that the A6M3 got very similar stats to the A6M3.

Is there any level one plane that is over performing? The only good one was the German IAR-81C they moved up to level two. :joy:

I-16

But its rockets are at least pretty bad.
