TL,DR: move Bf.109Z-1 to BR 4, move Spitfire LF Mk.9 to BR 3 and give it a single 500lb bomb.
First, let me explain why Bf.109Z-1 at BR 5 might be better than it seems: armed with 4x30mm MK108 + 1x250kg bomb, 790 km/h max speed at 4900m, it has better climb rate (basically meaning better acceleration) than Me,262, but only a 250kg bomb and an offset cockpit which makes aiming this small, as for BR 5 standards, bomb harder. It would fit in BR 4 better, making a more infantry-attacking-focused sidegrade to Bf.110, thanks to its 4 cannons with powerful HE shells, and a bomb would only have trouble with BR 5 tanks like IS-2 and T26E4.
As for Spitfire LF Mk.9, with 2x20mm + 2x12,7mm, 774km/h max speed at 4900m. Super fast for its BR, but lack of even a single bomb makes it a not so desired reward. It can be moved to BR 3 and armed with a single 500lb (~250kg) HE bomb, making it a versatile fast fighter capable of destroying most enemy tanks and shooting down planes alike.
This thing with a bomb is BR IV or BR V fighter it cant be BR III. Even the current one they are planning to give to BR II is better then the German BF 109 F-4/trop
You cant dog fight them you cant boom and zoom them you cant outrun them or out climb them since their speed is too close so really what you gonna do against them if it was not for the spawn mechanic in this game you have no options. Since they have more firepower and better turn rates with very close speed to yours. It has almost same climb rate as a BF:
You are just delusional. Bf109z shouldn’t be above BR3 because it is worse than p51 and ki100. German BR3 desperately needs a usable fighter other than BR2 IAR. Even Soviet has dual lend-lease p40 with the last bp, so there is zero reason to handicap German BR3 any further.
Meanwhile, Spitfire Mk9 is literally the best dogfighter during WWII. It has no busy being BR3 and completely outclasses p51. It should be at least be BR4, with bomb added.
Well the problem is that no BR III fighter can’t fight it better give it big bomb and move it to BR V and wait until they move the Japanese fighters and the La 7 to br IV and can be moved with them to BR IV. Since really the plane is better then La 7. With small bomb will be BR III but why waste such a good plane with a small bomb when you can have big bomb will be much better plane with 500 LB bomb then the Soviet Premium P-63.
Well this one can kill the jets like the La it can destroy them without a problem you really dont wanna see this plane on BR III and they added it to BR II. Its BR V plane unless they move the other planes that are similar to this plane to BR IV but it cant be BR III plane since it will be the best BR III plane.
But I believe the BR3 with a 250lb bomb would be suitable for him. You can compare it to the KI 100. The KI 100 has about 5 times more bombs. But it has a lower speed, the turn statistics are about the same and in the climb rate, tea boy is better.
And this should be taken into account for all the planes that have low bombs. Everything is a mess in TT right now.
Yes, it will be a good fighter, but it will be much worse than its peers in air support with a 250lb bomb.
You cant compare it with Ki-100 since Japan has Ki-100 do to the fact that they have bad tanks you cant give US better fighter plane at BR III then Japan… that will brake the balance US already have very strong BR III fighter. G-6 and La-7 have worse payloads and worse statistics then this plane they cant be on a lower BR then this plane same is for the G 55 its absolutely allies Bias as always… you want to give the allies stronger BR III plane then all the BR IV planes.
Well, this is an event prize, not a TT plane. We all know that event stuff is generally better than TT.
They’re rare anyway, how often do you see things like the Grizzly, or the SIG 15 these days?
Those planes have no place in BR4. They should all be moved to BR3. I think we even talked about it before.
well I have paid real money for P -63 that is worse plane then this one and its BR IV really enough with the power creep. The Spitfire LF Mk9 can be BR IV only if the rest of the BR V planes and BR IV planes are reworked but to be BR III plane its absolutely insane. Well the LF Mk9 with 500 lb bomb you will see a lot since even I would use it despite having a jet since its a nice low altitude plane that the rest of US planes are not. Its better then the La-7 and it has 500 lb bomb in the middle that makes it very good plane in combination with high altitude planes. When you combine it with Meteor and P-47 its game over for all factions to be honest.
Even without payload is better then all GE or USSR fighter planes at BR III.
I think the lack of bombs in our game is very important. You can easily shoot down any aircraft (except jets) with AA.
Also, on our small maps, if a pilot with average intelligence comes after you, you have no chance of surviving.
Well and how many German and Soviet BR III planes have bombs there is only FW with 2 rockets and the soviet la with 2x50 kg bombs on the wings and their characteristics are very bad. Yak-3 is in BR III and BF 109 F-4 and they have no bombs and yet much worse flight characteristics then Spitfire LF Mk9
Everyone has asked for their relocation many times. When something is broken, we shouldn’t break the next things. This will only make change harder and harder.
