Dornier Do 335 A-1 (BR V)

I propose this aircraft as a more formidable option than the FW 190 D-12 in the BR V, where its only decent payload is its 250kg bomb.

The Dornier Do 335 was used in the III. Gruppe des Zerstörergeschwaders 76 In aerial combat between April and May 1945 With Intercepting B-17, B-24 bombers with only 11 operational units,

Of the 11 operational units in the squadron, 4 suffered losses, 3 of which were at the hands of P-51 Mustangs, and the last one was destroyed in an attack on the airfield.

Characteristics

•Maximum speed: 765-785 km
•Fixed Armament: 1 x 30mm MK 103 cannon and 2 x 20mm MG151 cannons
•Suspended armament:1 x 500kg bomb in the center and 2 x 250kg bombs, one on each wing

I propose this aircraft as an attack aircraft and that it can be used in the same squadron as the FW 190 D-12.

Attacker or fighter?

Attacker, thanks for reminding me, I already felt like something was missing.

Yes, Germany needs a good aircraft in BR5, Only the Me 262 is good. the K-4 has very few ammo and the flight system of the Fw 190 D-12 is bugged just like the others Fw

1 500 kg and 2 250 kg bombs as payload might be a bit much for a fast airframe but with some small adjustments it might be fine given the rampant levels of powercreep already present.

allies jets literally carry more than that and are faster

And that is why they should reduce its playload instead. Otherewise we just powercreep to the point were strat bombers get implemented just to keep up with the latest round of bullshit.

i love pusher puller planes so rare, the last gasp for speed and power before jets took over

It is also missing the 20mm MG151 cannons under the wings

A high-performance attacker is always welcome.
But wouldn’t B-2 be better than A-1?
If didn’t have a lead aim, a fast 20mm would be good, but thanks to the lead aim, it’s easy to hit the enemy’s plane with 30mm. (Oh forget this, it’s equipped with Mk103, not Mk108, which performs badly.)
In addition, the 30mm HE had an excellent ability to kill infantry, so the B-2 equipped with three 30mms had excellent attack performance both on the ground and in the air.

Of course, it’s greedy.

With how strong (broken) the P-47 Meteor combo is, I think giving Germany and actually good all-round attack aircraft is justified.

And if any Soviet players wanna complain, the TU-2S is broken I know cause I use it.

Oke so i voted no, and the reason is that we have had a lot of plane events and new planes added to the TT, tanks as well, but few new infantry stuf relatively. I feel the game does not need more planes at the moment, except when talking specifically about Japs. But then again, Japs lack so much infantry stuf too.

I think the game should focus should on a new frontline (Manchuria plzzzz) and infantry weapons/squads. OR APC’s, Jeeps, or Anti Air Vehicles, lots of potential there that is not realised at all.

I mean, the B-2 could absolute sit in BR5, when compared to jets at least.

The A-1 I would even suggest lose the wing mounted 250kg’s and move to BR4.

See the thing here is, the Do335 is already fully modelled in WT and wouldnt be hard to add, and it would be a nice alternative to bringing a jet, especially since the Me262 is outperformed by the Meteor and is arguably on par with the Su-9 at best.

That may very well be true, I am not really against adding it in principle, but just feel like they have been doing that very thing a bit to much.

I haven’t seen a recent post about the Do 335 so I don’t know if that’s what you mean.

this is supposed to be under vehicles

That can’t be… I didn’t put it in the right section.
