The reason why IAR-81C's 250kg bomb need to be removed

Well, unless they will change performance of certain planes. Everyone will end up using only p-47s and so.

It’s not that easy. Firstly, they need to properly balance all planes at specific BR level. So all planes of the same BR would have similar power level, to create proper variety from which players can choose from.

Otherwise nothing would really change. We’d just see more of the same planes.

I don’t mind train escort, have been groomed on games with no Gray zone for decades so…over indoctrinated. to me its more annoying not being able to get to a player, than having a player behind your lines.

You’re partially right. But still, a single player couldn’t play the same plane twice in a row. Plus, the opposite team would be either carpet bombing with two Ju-188s, or mercilessly hunting those P-47s (and bombing in their free time) with Ki-84s. So at least, while the balance of power may shift some more towards planes, the (theoretical) balance between factions shouldn’t be significantly affected.

P-47 is the wild card for sure.
P-47 combines all positive features you need in Enlisted.
insane amount of rockets powerful enough to squad wipe with a salvo.
500 lb bomb perfect for destroying tanks.
8 heavy MGs for shooting down enemy aircraft.
fast and maneuverable too.

8, achthually :point_up: :nerd_face:

(Even though I strongly suspect that they’re bugged and don’t even fire at their full supposed combined ROF)

I would agree that it is not fair for it to be at that br but removing the 250k bomb, no, move the plane up in BR but the bomb stays, as long as the P 51 D 5 goes up as well

My focus has nothing to do with balance. According to the information provided by WT, IAR-81C does not have a 250kg bomb rack, therefore it cannot carry 250kg (unless u want to destroy ur propeller when bombing). This is basically the whole reason for requesting delete it.

I have this plane in warthunder. unless they changed it (havent flown it for a while), It does have these loadouts

also

"…The result was the IAR 81, a minor change to the IAR 80A models that were then in production, adding a hinged bomb cradle under the centerline to throw a 225 kg (496 lb) bomb clear of the propeller "

Honestly prefer the 1 bomb, 2 rocket configuration.

Obv, wikipedia isn’t reliable source. It literally gives contradictory informations.

The only thing that WT page says about it is…

So you clearly want to propose a nerf here, which you justify with historical “facts”. Which, of course, are not 100% verifiable.
But it is absolutely clear that the plane had the ability to carry a 250kg (225kg?) bomb. Most of the time, however, this option was not used.
But this is completely irrelevant in a game where there are so many prototypes and semi-historical aspects.

It really strikes me as a completely bizarre justification for giving away the bomb. Especially when you look at it from a broader context regarding Enlisted.
Enlisted is not some living history game or ultra-realistic simulator.
Just look at the ingame ammunition of American tanks, for example.

I find this suggestion all the more amusing because there is another similar plane in the game anyway. Which, of course, can no longer be obtained and cost real money.
Thus, you would be putting f2p and new players at an unnecessary disadvantage with this nerf.

from what i remember about the IL-2 forums is that the centre mount was meant to be used for dive bombing but since romania needed fighters the most, it was quite common to remove the central mount and left the ones from the wings because they were used for the fuel tanks, but because of the nature of the war it was a also necessity to use them as fighter bombers with 50kg, 70kg and 100kg bombs in both wings.
So yes, most 81c had it removed but not all of them, and since this a videogame gaijin decided to use that specific one for WT and this game inherit from that game so it is what it is.

I remember asking for the removal of the schurzen of the premium Panzer III N from Tunisia because its first trials were just after the end of the African campaign, but it was largely ignored because it is not that important. Ask for BR adjustments.

A 250kg bomb in this game can still only cause limited damage to infantry, so it does not disrupt balance and can only be said to be a good helper in destroying tanks.It’s better to say that more low BR bombers should have better bombs, at least able to effectively destroy tanks, which will become the only life-saving straw for new players facing high BR tanks.
