Why The *^%$&^%$ Did I buy a Premium Plane for the pacific to have up for free a few days later ?!

It was very vague but i agree. the way i read it , It was prudent to wait and see what event ones were first.

By the way, to whoever thinks this is OK, here’s my cynical prediction of how this will end up playing out:

People got fucked over now, in the next update premium sales are lower

More people will just grind the event squads

Gaijin: “Oh shit, premium sales are down! It’s because event squads are too easy to grind!

Gaijin: increases grind requirements for next event squads

Players: wtf

That’s not how it works, people just don’t want to pay for this garbage. It’s no longer a question of being the same cost of a game but rather the same cost as half a week of groceries. Premium sales will continue to plummet.

And nothing, absolutely nothing can fix this, no matter how great they are. It’s why they lean into the chinese market so heavily, it’s the only large economy growing enough to pay 50-60 dollars for a bunch of pixels that just make a grind more bearable.

Tbh post merge is even worse, since US can just grab the P47D with 10 HVAR + 1 500lb vs this shitty plane with 1 drop tank and 4 HVAR

So yeah get screwed by spending 50 bucks for ingame digital pixel

Except that p-47 will no doubtedly be a higher BR.

Hellcat will be the mid BR mans p-47. Depending where the cutoff for Pacific match making is…it might be quite low.

Thats my guess anyway

Thanks for that, I see now they are in fact different, and yes I will have two of them.

The Whole drop tank thing though is to be honest kind of disappointment, it’s not at all that lethal, I get more assists with than anything else.

It honestly seems like a gimmick, like in Warthunder, although I haven’t tried any out yet.

Napalm or incendiary makes alot more sense in enlisted than it does in warthunder.

I mean its fun to wreck open tops in warthunder with napalm, but you can do that with normal bombs without having to worry if its open topped or not.

Im interested to test it in enlisted at least

One detail i didnt see that could make all the difference.

Are they both the same class or different? (Attacker, fighter)

The flame tank is something very underwhelming tbh, you barely get any feedback as soon as you drop bombs, unlike normal bombing run boom 18 kills! All you get is a hard to see hit marker that blinks for a few seconds, up to 20 seconds later, you might get a kill or assist.

The HVARs are good though on Pacific, the axis are really lacking in comparison, I use my other premium (unique ki-xx) if I need to kill tanks as better bombload…

Premiums we’re always sold as unique, I think they could have given the F4U Corsair as event plane to keep uniqueness and appease the ftp players.

i don’t know that through the editor.

but i can tell you how much " big " the flames of a bomb are ( which you drop like a normal bomb, and then once it explode, it ignite ):

it’s somewhat big.

but if i have to guess the category, it’s a fighter? because it’s quite agile

Im curious and wondering if its not working properly yet, OR if the test I was watching was off

But the flames didnt appear to immolate or kill anything within its radious. I did wonder if the Targets were invulnerable, but he kills them by strafing in the next test.

nope.

they do kill.

just not on impact.

( dunno why this cc just cutted the whole part. but i believe YT does not really like watching people getting burned after all )

it works like flames on walls and already placed.

where players/bots needs to stand a bit near the fire to ignite.

Okay…i feel like the direct hit part should probably light on fire immediently but yeah…i realise the whole fire phobia of flamers past.

Sir, having HVAR already put you in high BR

Its pretty safe to say BR will be by relative power.

P-47 is clearly more powerful, will be higher than hellcat.

Warthunder hellcat BR 3.3 (has HVAR)
Warthunder p-47 BR 4.3-5

Sir, P38 J is 1 tier lower than P47D and that thing only have M8 rockets

And I don’t think they put that thing in BR3 when the other country has nothing to compete with that
