you know I think i saw the exact same type of complaints from the soviets when the HS129 was put on BR 1 with it’s automatic pak40 likewise before they even got a chance to test it…
so I guess some people just like voicing their immediate and unsupported reactions on the forum
With the last major update, Darkflow moved the Bf 110 G-2 to BR IV, because its armament was too powerful for BR III. A few weeks later, they planned to move the XA-38 Grizzly, with a more powerful layout than the A-20G-25 (BR IV), to BR III.
Darkflow’s approach defies all logic and therefore, there is legitimate feedback / suggestions from the community (has nothing to do with “crying”)

Nope, sounds fine where it is.

Its a solid BR4 matchup - again it needs a different squadron than 144, just like alot of vehicles and planes.

All and all, another noobmany whine post.
Yak-9k with 45mm shreds King Tigers despite it’s being a BR3 plane. No way in hell that American overbuffed plane wouldn’t be much better than that Soviet plane.

Yak 9k is very easy to hit targets because rate of fire.
75 you will get maybe 2 shots off.
Im betting the majority wont hit anything with it, and decide to just go back to bombing, in which case it just turns into another A-20
Guess we will find out

Yes…because it kept obliterating new players and was frankly op (yes I do have the 110)
No… to be “moved” it has to be introduced first
No… for there to be feedback you have to actually test the plane. If you simply see 500 pounders and start begging for a nerf, thats called crying. Same for the duck, most people saw that it could oneshot is-2s and began crying about it on 1.

This is the sales technique.
Trick more players into participating in the Victory Day event.
To get more satisfactory statistics.
After the event, make adjustments based on player feedback.
This is equivalent to completing a new job: listening to player suggestions.
One content can support multiple work contents, allowing developers to get more salary and bonuses.
They will not even receive complaints, because the player’s complaints are only seen by CM and helpers.
For the sake of profit, they would rather let new CMs from other games (A.M.) work part-time.
They are not willing to support excellent CMs who have worked here for many years to continue working.

what exactly requires testing? if the flight model is not broken like fw190, we can get all data from table.
xa-38 currently has better speed than a-20(617kmh vs 557kmh), better turning time(19.36s vs 20.9s), better climb rate(18.02m/s vs 16.11). at same time it has same payload, while also having 75mm gun. idk about position of MG on xa-38 vs a20g, but both have same number. it is possible that a20 has better placement, but it is ridiculous to have xa-38 in lower BR when every stat is better or equal to the a20g which is on BR4.
Yes, players can also test it through the editor.
So his reason is worthless.
Do you realize that weapons in the editor can have different stats than those in the game?
Just becasue an unfinished model in the editor has some stats does not mean that it will be added in that way.
Until it is actually used in the game, any feedback is not justified.
75mm APHE at br3 too much?
how about change it all HE rounds but still stay at BR3?

What I don’t understand is why is this plane compared to A20 by some many people.
Literally nobody ever plays A20. I don’t even remember the last time I saw it to be played by someone in game.
A20 is mediocre at best.
If I would have to change anything about XA, I would reduce it’s bomb load to some extent.
4x500lb in combination with 75mm feels kinda like overkill for Enlisted.
I at least want to try it live before it gets downgraded this time

cause it is closest thing to xa-38 by payload and other stats. also it is inferior to xa-38 in almost all stats.
btw nobody plays it cause almost nobody plays BR4.
You obviously didn’t understand Darkflow’s BR adjustments. 
Aircraft like the Bf 110G-2, and even the JU-188, were rightly given increased BR due to their destructive power – including bombs.
Same goes for the XA’s armament, it’s you only would look at the stats and compare it to other planes - there is no other plane on BR III which can drop 4 single 226kg bombs + having an additional 75mm gun to bully tanks. Additionally, it’s even faster and more maneuverable than the A-20 on BR IV.
And with these layout it shouldn’t face BR II (which it can!). So either move it up to BR IV or nerf it a little (2x500lb bombs, instead of 4x500lb bombs)
I have never used the “duck” before but recognized just by seeing the statcards that it is only a MEME aircraft in terms of speed and flight behavior and nothing what the high BR has to “fear”
And now guess who was right?
