Hello Enlisted community, I have come here very seldomly to make suggestions but, this new update and event is just ridiculous in terms of the plane which they have added.
The XA 38, which has been added to enlisted, is equipped with a 75mm cannon, as well as 4 500lb (250kg) bombs. 4 250 kg bombs, a total payload of 1000 kg, as well as a 75mm cannon, in BRIII? Really?
The only other plane with a similar payload is the A-20G-25 which is a BRIV plane, but with MGs instead of a 75mm cannon.
As for Euthy’s claim of the plane flying like a brick compared to the A-20G-25, the plane flies at a max speed of 600kmph.
Thus, comparing the XA 38 to the A-20:
-faster than a20
-smaller
-Same payload
-75mm penetrator
This is just plain cursed. I have seen BAD decisions made by darkflow but this is just… no.

Plane that kills all German BR2/5 refuges 
You think you could feel some relief at BR3? Think again - Gaijin

Just put it in a separate squadron other than No144 - which is forced to carry every single BR4/5 tier US attacker. Otherwise BR4.

remember that bf-110 G2 was “too powerful for BR3”?
Epic double standards here.

It’s just that the US has been given a new imbalanced airplane. As is often the case. Nothing new.
But we can change that. If enough people talk about why it is cringe then poothy will forward it to the devs.

I think they added it to br3 because everyone is playing jets at br5 so maybe they plan on bringing it up to br4 after the jet hype dies down

Still, it even being temporarily in BRIII is extremely unbalanced.

I am confused about the br of this plane…
There’s both IL2 (from Berlin) which are br3.
There’s this plane now, br3 (feels like something I’d use br5)
Then the bf110 G2 got nerfed to br4 last patch.
So…
Is the bf110 stronger than the new plane?!?
It feels br went all over the place for some things.

I find it weird.
To pilots who know, that plane was the analog of both Soviets IL2 which are still br3.
Those are so good they can explode tanks with their canons, not even needing the rest of their ordinance (rockets or bombs).
Yet one got nerfed to 4, the rest remain br3.
It… feels indeed like double standards, especially with the new plane. I’d enjoy it even in br5!

I completely agree with you - increase the BR to IV!
Sometimes I wonder if Darkflow / Gaijin even play their own games. Probably not, because otherwise they would have realized that the aircraft on BR III is far too powerful.

As much as I find the new plane to be a cool event reward, that thing has no business to do in BR3

I was sure the the XA-38 will be BR5 with its armament…

I’d be fine with it being br5. It’s so potent, it would STILL be good even there. At br4 it would wreck, but in br3?
I just wonder… why?
Imagine poor Hans or Haniki with their br2 tanks exploding from that

Ill be slightly different and say its not good enough for BR 5…not anymore. I reckon the cannon wont be as good as it sounds

max speed don’t mean fucking shit for props, most of them won’t reach max speed unless it’s a low altitude plan like ki-84
