Jets stats are wrong.
-
The Nakajima Kikka, also known as the “Orange Blossom”, had a turn time of 22.5 seconds, it have 15.84 seconds in the game.
-
The Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a Jabo has a turn time of approximately 28 seconds, it have 18.01 seconds in the game. (Also the Me 262 a-2/u4 have wrong stats)
-
The Gloster Meteor F Mk 3 had a turn time of 20 seconds, it have 13.77 seconds in the game.
-
The F-80A-5, also known as the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, has a turn time of 23 seconds, it have 16.30 seconds in the game.
-
The Sukhoi Su-9 “Fishpot” had a turn time of 29 seconds, it have 18.26 seconds in the game.
I hope the reason for those stats is not because “BALANCE”, In that case, people have to learn how to use jets and know their weaknesses and strengths.

The update is alright, quite happy about the Brits at last getting something in a update, only that the squad that flies the meteor is American… yeah…
Please provide proper sub-faction representation, allowing people to play whatever nationality make-up they want from the tech-tree!

target lead indicator is a big joke because of the higher speed of the jets … just try it seriosly by yourself and you will see … no singel hit
Sometimes you just miss, that happens with regular aircraft as well.
you think its crazy that those AI soldiers are mag dumping the floor - but why arent we talking about the flying German soldier that is floating next to the window?

I also had for a BR3 US match against the japanese, but it was only 1 enemy squad so idk whats going on with it.
I didnt even notice him just chilling there lmao.

Lets be honest, he is probably the reason why the bots are shooting at the ground unfortunately. But that thing is so funny nonetheless.

The jets are OK feel more like a partisans style of gimmick fun in a specific situation but useless overall. Only upside is the time being cut down between reloads. The bomb angle dynamics are also much different (I assume by design). Japan is a big letdown but they way. Why not tie that jet to another squad instead of hamstringing Japan with one non launch fighter squad?
Hmmm BR changes are overal fine but …
Thompson on BRII … nah man move it back or nerf it.

Different angle because of speed. I saw that too. I usually very skilled in a plane but these were a bit of a trendy thing for the update but I do not see using them as part of my permanent line up.
I used to say that there should be a BR2 Thompson for ages now, but most of us who talked about BR2 Thompson specified with a 20 rounder magazine.

It’s excellent on BR3
Nope, there was always the pre order bundle Thompson squad for Pacific.
But even if you’re wrong. I understand the frustration of having things you paid for affected in the wrong way from your perspective.
Notable things I would nitpick.
- Change to G43k (quite obvious - it’s interesting that changes based on “historical accuracy argumentation” is very often in favor to Soviets - AT-44 is great example)
- Change to Mkb 35 (I did pay for weapon that’s usable by vehicle crews)
- Change to Me262 (I did pay for ammo that’s effective against infantry)

YupI have seen quite a few thompson today in the pacific… But damn, Japan BR3 is eating good now with only downtiers
I guess i need to say that German weak ARs should go to BR3 as they have them at BR2 and 4 and Mkb42 and similar ARs doesn’t fit anywhere but BR3.
Have only spent some time in the test range so far but my initial thought is that it is a little crazy how much better the allied jets are compared to the rest.
It’s odd that the Kikka was not given a gunsight. Had it made it through testing, it would have certainly got one. So just make some shit up and add it, who cares at this point. And not that it would matter much because it’s kind of trash, especially with only 100 rounds. But even so it is probably more usable than the A-1/U4 which is absolute trash. Only AP and a chair that blocks half of your six, wtf!? Jabo is fun but someone forgot to give it another bomb. But as fun as it is, the Jabo as well as the other new aircraft will probably get clowned by the allied jets more often than not.
Allies just got even more dominant in the air, at least from a dogfighting standpoint. Either allied jet with a P-47 will be very hard to deal with. Either German jet with the D-12 will be a poor match up. Shoot, any prop plane with the 12 will have a hard time dealing with the meteor alone. And a single kikka against the pair will probably have a higher success rate if attempted using the Ki 84.
I could be wrong on all of this but one things seems certain, it’s time to ditch the 1 attacker 1 fighter rule. Balance is ate up and ditching this rule will even things out.
Edit. Was wrong about Kikka. It’s sweet.
I don’t need to even kill tanks to win matches or build rallies i can just grind xp to lvl up my squads while winning. Well it’s not like i could kill Sherman with crappy Chi-nu’s shell anyway.

Yep, their tanks are still kinda sad ngl, but I think the D4Y went to BR3 as well, I Think it has a nasty bomb, well the plane itself is probably terrible but at least the bomb should kill pretty much anything. And tbf Type 4 and 5 are still decent at this BR, though the 90 mm type 4 would have been perfect.

I wish they would downtier Chi-to and add some other tank to BR4
Yeah it did i guess i need to stop using tanks and spam planes. Chi-ha Short is fun but not worth it with Shermans nuking your tanks anyway. 500kg bomb should murder any tank and also infantry. I haven’t seen any American planes in past 2 matches at BR3 so it would feel pretty safe outside of buildable AA
Outside of 90mm type 4 i wish we would have this throwable heat nade
70mm of pen would be pretty decent for instant explosion when carried by guerrilla. And for tnt reskin they could use this mine
We will ignore that it’s pen was lower than in game tnt charge and just have same stats for variety
