The main role of this plane is to destroy tanks, and is not very good at combating infantry or enemy planes, due to it only having the 50mm cannon and no other armament. Due to this taking up the fighter slot, actual fighters that can be otherwise diverted to taking down enemy planes can’t spawn and are taken up by this plane, and high tier airspace is very crowded recently, so this creates a few problems. I think this is a reasonable request, and is an easy change that can be made if it is approved.

And give it back the test server ammo belt so it can keep destroying vehicles like now, but also strafe infantry a bit at least.
Those who asked for this change had no clue.

Agree with that, but I can’t remember what belt it used. Was it APHE? or was it mixed AP and HE? I’ll make another topic for it in a little while.
it was AP-T/HEI-T
supposedly still has HE filler in the AT ammunition though, war thunder doesn’t say for plane ammunition

Yes it has HE filler in the AP shell (well unless the plane is firing the APCR, but I am pretty sure it’s not). The AP-T shell of this plane is an exact copy of the Panzer III J1/M and Puma APHE with ~100 of pen and 30g of TNT

I mean its description makes it look like a attacker since it at best is meant to counter bombers, but I also get the logic of not having two jets at the same time.
But it could be argued that since it’s meant to fight other planes it is a fighter, while attacker is for bomber type planes
Is that why the Bf110 G2 is a attacker as well?

Some planes are a little all over the place. For example they made the Hs 123 a fighter when it’s a dive bomber
I have thought they should move heavy fighters to the fighter family
Sometimes I think they should remove plane types and just let you spawn whatever like vehicles. With vehicles there is nothing stopping you from using light, mediums, heavies, tank destroyers, whatever. Anyone can spawn anything
With planes it’s different since they don’t directly affect the battle as much as vehicles and they are divided because fighter and attacker counter each other. So if you have 2 fighters at the same time it may be a hindrance because they may not have good ground capabilities. 2 attackers would be the meta
That’s also why I think they should give planes more things to do like artillery batteries spawning that you can destroy
tbh i feel like they should just remove the fighter/attacker plane limit and just add a slot for 2 planes total so your team can use either 2 attacker planes, 2 fighter planes, but no more than 2 total aircrafts at a time
