Exactly. I was excited too, and would be so over the moon if it had the right cosmetics or the ones that made the most sense. But as they are…Im left feeling “bumbed” when I should be “ecstatic”
The developers screwed up the pump animation for the Ithaca 37. It must return to its previous pump animation (play FACE_TAC WILD WEST Gun Game to see the original animation). I would’ve never suggested it be in the game if they were going to screw it up that badly.
They should give it that magnification, which would make it much more usable, but at the same time it should NOT be BR1 lol. That will just get used to bully people in low tier matches like crazy, it should be BR3 or 4 even, where it would still be a viable meme plane.
All the other planes with effective anti tank weapons are way higher than BR1.
Im not particularily fussed. The Duck is an absolute Boat and an easy target for “ANYTHING” in the sky, just like war thunder…the slightest bit of engine damage and it goes down. (BR 3 is too high for its performance and it only has 13 rounds, which are really bad vs other planes)
Also there are BR 1cannon Birds for USA/UK and Soviets that can do far more, including defending themselves (granted they are premium): Hurricane 40mm, Lagg 3-34
That’s fair, but I don’t think a plane should be able to get a gun 2 BRs below the ground version. That’s just ridiculous. If the long 75 is too powerful for a Marder to be put in tier 2, it should definitely not be on a tier 1 vehicle
All the tank destroyers should be downtiered or reworked tbh. I think the Stug III should stay in tier 3 but get a rooftop machine gun, and the Marder should be downtiered.
I mean, even if it’s bad against other planes, it has 135mm of pen which can take out just about anything if you just backshot it. And 13 rounds is a lot compared to anti tank rockets or bombs. I feel like making it be a high skill ceiling mid-high BR for people to take out IS2s with would be better than it being available to bully new players with at low BRs.
Hell, you could even front pen a lot of tanks if you get the angle right.
Give the commander of the “Marder III” and the “Marder III (H)” the opportunity to look over the platform. At least when driving you can keep a better overview over the battlefield
Idk I’m just really opposed to the idea of a plane that can one shot anything in its BR with ease. With APHE you wouldn’t even need to aim and could probably take out any tank in that BR, and a lot of people at lower BRs will be bad pilots in also shitty planes.
I get where you are coming from. I just see it slightly differently
It will be a 1 trick pony. Its niche is blowing up tanks. It will be at the Mercy of Every plane and AA starting at BR 1. Even the starter biplanes can bully Ducks.
Thats just the way I see it. It has One job, and its very good at that 1 job, and terrible at everything else.
The pen is Huge but also over kill when shooting from above. 37mm NAS and 40mm Hurricane have more than enough pen already.
Any way. I think we can agree to disagree. Id go no higher than BR 2 with the Duck.
