Bf 109 F-4/trop poll redux! (New poll, please revote!)

Just yesterday I made a post about how I would like to see the Bf 109 family both buffed and diversified, and I’m glad like 50 people actually voted, but out of 6 polls the most divisive one was by far the F-4/trop’s.

I tried to lean more in the side of it being a pure fighter, but in the comments both @GasMasters-live and @CC_Cody expressed how they see the trop could be buffed, so in order to further discussion and maybe even catch a dev’s eye I’ll try and expand the poll so we may be able to tell on how most people would like to see this iconic plane buffed and rebalanced.

  • Keep as is (Lower into BR II)
  • Add 2x 15mm gunpods + Incendiary bomb
  • Add 2x 15mm gunpods + 4x 50kg bombs
  • Add 2x 15mm gunpods + 1x 250kg bomb
0 voters

HUGE ADDENDUM! As stated in my comment below, in hindsight adding the option for the 250kb bomb + the gunpods seemed to be a mistake on my part, not only is it the obvious choice, but it also brings it too close to the G variants for my liking, so instead of making another post I’d appreciate if you could vote on the new poll and also let me know what you think about it. THANKS!

I still personally lean towards the side of making this a competent fighter with the ability to ground pound if need be, imo the 250kg bomb would impact this if caught by surprise and also make it too similar to the G variants and I’m very variety focused so giving it the pods & the 250 Flam would be not only unique but useful for crowd control.

As always, thank you a lot for reading! Hope to see you in the comments.

In warthunder, you can’t have gunpod and bomb at the same time. I think it is possible irl, but it must be ultra rare and it would cause too much hindrance to the flight performance. So I would recommend either gunpod or bomb.
Also, it is very easy to diversify f4 loadout by adding stock f4 and Italian f4.

Yup, that’s why I suggested the gunpods by their own in my original post, but only I voted for it I think hahaha but the pods + either the 4x 50kg bombs or the droptank shouldn’t be a stretch and both seem fine to me, but I had to place the 250kg bomb because I knew people would ask if I didn’t haha

PS. On hindsight, maybe I should’ve put the 250kg bomb on it’s own haha

PS 2. I couldn’t let it go, so there, added a whole new poll
