Take the P-47 down a few levels, it's too strong

Every match I play as T5 germany, it is constant P47 spam, and it requires not a lot of skill to use.it has 6 browning Mgs, 8 HVARs, and a 500 pound bomb, so a very large armament, and it is fast and has a good turn time. The Armour on it rediculous as well, I’ve used all my magazines 4 times on a single P47 using the flak guns, they just don’t do anything unless he is flying straight at you, which almost never happens, and you usually have a face full of rockets when it does happen. Either nerf the Armour of the P-47 or buff the flak guns, it isn’t fun to fight them

I would agree with the buff AA part
I was hoping, that with this BR thing, that engineers at BR I-II would use AA, that is now, and it would get more powerful, as you went up the BR range, 1 barrel - 2 barrels back up to 4 :stuck_out_tongue: . :cry:

The P-47 does not have a very high turning performance (like other attack aircraft).
The survival rate is not high unless the German fighter pilots are incompetent.
Also, when bombing with rockets they come straight in at a shallow angle, which is a great opportunity to target them with anti-aircraft guns.
And since P47 pilots are the noob favorite aircraft of the US faction, and there are many idiots who abandon the most important role of anti-tank mission and climax in the sky, it is also a strategy to dare to leave them alone. :slightly_smiling_face:

AA guns are fine for the most part. They do quickly shoot down many planes
but just some planes are way tankier than the rest making them look like a joke

Yes, they perform well enough. In a match a few days ago I shot down 10 aircraft with flak in a 20 minute match, half of them P-47s.

I can’t kill planes past BR2, they just have too much Armour, and they generally have a bit of skill, and the low damage output just kills it, you can’t even one shot paratroopers descending with the flak gun.

We want to talk about the dozens of Tiger 2 P and Tiger 2 H (since every “elderly” player can deploy them in sequence)? Since the Americans don’t yet have the SuperPershing, what should they use to destroy them when they camp in the gray zone? If P-47s are a problem, AAs are built or the BF-109 is used. Learn to always think of alternative solutions before looking to nerf things.

I try to use those things and yet I always can’t get him, and the tiger 2 is an issue, but it can be countered, like the jumbo.

*8 M2 browning, 10 HVAR, and the bomb

Nerf the Tiger 2(h) or buff portable AT, it isn’t fun to fight them

Me too, tbh. There was a general nerf to them by default when they added the unique ones for each nation, so while they can shoot down aircraft, it’s honestly easier to hope a teammate has a fighter and know’s how to use it.

In my opinion, the P-47 is slower in maneuverability and can be shot down easier than the P-51.
You just have to practice.

by your own admission it is a problem of skill issue

Eh, they’re about the same on paper. Mostly it comes down to pilot skill in avoiding AAA/gunner’s skill in anticipating the plane’s movement.

Skill issue? Have you considered that some equipment is just not good enough to take on certain things without being super incredibly skilled at it?

Well, it takes a lot of tricks to hit an anti-aircraft gun.
It also takes a knack to hit a tank with a bomb from an aircraft.
It takes a knack to hit a tank 50 meters away with a Panzerfaust.
It is a game that requires a knack for everything.
You can do things that you can’t do once or twice, but with experience, you can do them well.
Let’s practice.

Be nice to see a better practice range, can try out most things there, but practice a AA one can not?
Be nice to see a spot where you just sit in AA, and planes, 1-2 just fly abut you, and you could practice.

US rocket planes does not require skill tho use at all, since the first time I unlock the P38 in Normandy till P47D… rockets are way too easy to use compared to dropping the bomb with pinpoint accuracy…

The AA gun need buff back to quad barrel or bigger barrel with actual flak round

Please.

USA/Commonwealth still don’t even have all their on par tier V tools.

And you want to nerf one of their very few effective one?

All the while axis being the most popular faction along with Japan?

Yes, the US lacks some T5 equipment,but the P-47 is on another level, it gets less attention drawn to it from people trying to destroy it, takes way too many hits, and it’s armament is over the
