I just got the P-47D-22-RE in the boxes and I’m so happy for it, but I think that it would fit better as a BR IV attacker, mostly because the lack of HVARs really hurts its performance compared to the -28, and would also make it fit nicely into my BR IV lineup hahahaa.
Again, thank you for reading, love you, XOXOs

Honestly 6 M8 and a 500kg could be BR3 in my opinion
Maybe even split it to 2x250kg and the 6 M8s

100% agree with this. It should be BR 3 or 4.

it has 6 rockets so its fine at br5 there Japanese planes with way less rockets at br5 so it would be unfair to people playing Japan if anything
lol BR3. do people even fly when they make such statements. p47 with 6 M8 rockets and 500lb bomb seems underwhelming when comparing it to version with 10 HVAR rockets, but it is still extremely powerful, specially when you include base plane stats.
it is BR5 plane and maybe there is some argument to put it on BR4, although i think it should still stay on BR5.

Lmao if you’re going to start your comment off like that, at least know what you’re talking about. It has 6 M8 rockets not 8.
6 M8 rockets* and yeah BR III would be too low, that’s why I said BR IV
My dude, Japan being overBR’d does not make it right, if anything, most Japanese planes should be downtiered
Yes BR 3.
Flies like a bus.
M8 rockets are significantly worse than HVARs.
Only 6 M8s just like the P38 which is BR 2.
12.7mm hit like a napkin and other attacker aircraft have 20mm.
It’s an event plane.
Only has 1 500lbs bomb and the last event plane we got has 4.
Moving it to BR 3 won’t affect balance but will make this plane viable.
Which should be uptiered haha glory to the P-38E
Nah because there’s better planes at BR 3. P51 is far superior.
Unless they give the bombs to the P38 that’s already BR 3.

still would be unfair with current br placements and yes I do agree Japan needs to be sorted with their planes br and then it could be moved down but right now it being br 5 is a fair area
Yes! The P-38J having bombs would be so cool, historical and would add variety to the family, as well as an alternative to the wonky P-51 flight model
Just BR IV, I’m not asking for that much

we alredy got something worse and its called “Jets” at this point with the existence of them i 100000 time preffer HVAR spam rather than bomb spam every 30 secs
I was more talking about The P38E. It’s kind of forgotten about for a good reason. It’s at BR 3 with no rockets or bombs. Would be perfect to add bombs to.
I think that the E can not carry bombs, only the J, in my ideal world we would have them like:
-
P-38E no payload at BR II
-
P-38G 8 x M8 rockets at BR III
-
P-38J 2 x 500lb bombs at BR III

Have you read anything in this post? The P47 we are talking about has M8 rockets not HVARS.
Sounds like a good idea but i would add 250lbs bombs instead of 500. That way it wouldn’t overshadow the P51 because of the 20mm cannon.
