Im fine with this, however the BR2 P-38G should go up to BR3 in its attacker role. Maybe it could see a bit of an extra payload for that increase.

Imo the Beaufighter Mk.X could go to BR3 as well.

The Su-2’s broken turn rate needs an urgent patch, like I love that aircraft, but its insanely OP atm.

The IL=2 1941 I think could do with 2 or 4 of its rockets being removed to help balance it a little since its very powerful for BR2 atm.

The Pe-3 kinda needs some love I think, maybe upping its payload a bit, since 4 100kg bombs on a toy engined fast bomber at BR3 is pretty bad. Same for the Soviet A-20 honestly.

Honestly kinda agree with all these, the only eyebrow raising one is the Ki-61-Hei, like I can see the thought behind it, however it would be clear P2W at BR3, which I dont want to support.

I disagree, this doesnt need to be conditional, this should have happened yesterday imo, if only so the iconic Jericho horn is heard more often. But honestly germany having an advantage in BR1 attackers is perfectly okay to me.

I dont think the K4 can carry a 500kg bomb, I think sadly its just going to get powercrept by jets until we get BR6.

I do really like this idea, we need more of the fighterbomb love for the FW190, they have a rough time with their flight model.

It needs to get bombs/rockets. Otherwise it should be br 1 since it has no cas loadout like p38g

no MK.X has insane rockets and P-38G is nerfed very badly it cant be BR III plane. P38G is fine as it is not to mention some people have the legacy squads P-38G-1 that is also BR II so i think all this 3 planes are BR II planes. MK.X is a good BR IV plane we cant put it on same BR as P-38G simply MK.X has very strong rockets. The easiest solution is to add Beaufighter Mk VIc with 2 x500 lb bombs to BR III.

Well its broken only against slow dogfighter planes against zoom planes is just a free kill I mean the BF or FW can take it out but I didnt mention it on the list since i didnt touch plane statistics.

Well its the second strongest ground attacker but Germany have better fighters then USSR.

Im also not sure about this one in war thunder is a good plane here I cant really say but it can stay in BR IV.

Well USSR and Japan and US need to have BR I ground attackers.

Yeah know there is 2 FW stacked in BR 2 and I rarely see them being played.

Well they can just replace it with P-38G-1 that was in the legacy squad that I use.

The Mk.X is a chunky plane, like its good, but its rockets alone arent that good, and if we can see the G-2 go down to BR3 again, I think we could see this too.

The P-38G is a plague at BR2, as a rocket spammer, its really good, but it also completely eclipses the other BR2 attacker options. I mean its an extremely strong fighter bomber atm, too strong, however it could do with a buff as well if it went up to BR3, hence the offered increased payload.

You mean most planes at its BR? Minus the few ones with broken flight models or no payload hence next to never seen? Not to mention even vs boom and zoom planes in this game, they just dont work since the lead indicator is insanely OP. Especially in a plane like the Su-2 which does have the luxury to just hold down the fire button and not stop pretty much for its entire flight.

Fighters which dont see the light of day for multiple reasons, not to mention that argument is invalidated with the state of soviet tanks, rifles and SMGs.

Not to mention, ever this small nerf would still have it remain the queen of BR2 CAS, only beaten out by the Su-2.

Sure they do, but dont fuck over the germans because of that. They need a break once in a while.

Well they can simply move it to fighter squadron from ground attacker. But I didnt touch it cuz a lot of US players wont be happy but you are correct. Its very strong ground attacker its the best ground attacker for BR II. The other one is IL-2. But if we remove the P-38 from BR II US have very bad fighter planes compared to Germany.

Well yes its a bit OP even on the event I have mention it but you can take it down with good Zoom plane just let him lose some energy on vertical maneuvers but yes it has like the IL-2 insane turn rate :smiley:

Im playing BF and the Romanian Fighter are very good trade off since they are not having bugged controls like the Warhawk so right now allies have better ground attackers and Axis better fighters (without Japan) But German fighters are the best at BR II since the allies fighters the spitfires dont have good payloads. (well now the new one will change that :smiley: )

the only bomb option for the K-4 in the Warthunder is a 500kg bomb

Very good

Yes, but it should be for the Mk Vc, but the thing is that in WT (Where the vast majority of the models are taken from) it does not have the ability to carry one, so I would not get my hopes up even though it should have them.

You get me, I love you

Again, yes… but, the thing here is that it looks that in-game we, for some reason, have the early type of Zero, we have the “A6M2 mod.11”, and again in WT it is limited to the 2 x 60kg bombs, if we could have it changed to the mainline A6M2 then we could get the 250kg bomb

Yet again, you get me and I love you

Here, maybe 4 x 50kgs as the G-6 currently have, and have it moved to BR II

Yes, but also have it moved to BR III, it is so outclassed by the Fw 190 and it has no business being higger than it

I also agree with all of this

We have exactly A6M2 and not Mod.11 since mod 11 is not made for carriers its and early test series used in China that was not suitable for carriers. Many people think its mod 11 but its not they have missed the tail hook on the model but it has Foldable wing tips so its a bit of abomination but its supposed to be A6M2 since you start on a carrier :smiley:

Well well it can get 250 i think the US and Japan have 250 kg bombs x2 on theirs so its fine. But yes if its too strong can be reduced.

Ewgh, I hope they fix it then, amalgams are never a good compromise

Well its not the only model that its mixed the M50 Reising has model with a mag that is 12 rounds but it has 20 inside :smiley:

Ah, yes haha I noticed that day 1, but it’s funny haha

Consider me corrected, for some reason I thought it was a 250kg

F-4 with bombs at BR2 is kinda insane imo, it 100% needs bombs though, but its still a BR3 aircraft.

It used to be 250KG I believe, so youd be forgiven in thinking so. I havent used the K-4 in years in Warthunder either. Enjoy the F4 the most

Yeah the F4 is my bread and butter for germany in WT, its an insanely good muiltirole.

Is it that much better than the E-7 or the F-1 & 2 tho?

Yes, insanely so, completely different level of aircraft.

Also, This might be just personal Preference. But Since I think in addition to the bomb, the cannon should be swapped to the 20mm. Gives the plane a bit more stamina (ammo), and higher velocity rounds to sling at jets…much more useful in the situation it finds itself

I like the idea of rockets. Maybe the 30mm from the K-4 can be put on the G-6 instead. bit of flavour

Tough - this isn’t the 109G - it is the 109K - and this is what it got.

If you want fantasy go play Warhammer
