yeah they had the meteeor which was practically stripped away from them
It was both
It was the best bombload in the game on the best fighter in the game that pairs with the best attacker in the game
Breaking news: US has strong aircraft.
Another amazing input I see
Thank god I learned to just disregard it from the get go
Likewise with yours… everything that you agree with boils down to things that are rather powerful… must be fun playing games nit picking whatever you think could be nerfed 
The Meteor deserves its 1,000lbs bombs and a nerf to its flight performance, upping its fuel load to 100% like the FW-190s would be the best solution.

At 2x1000lb it’s flight performance would need to be gutted completely
I feel like not many people realize how much it is to have 2000lb of bombs at Jet resupply speeds
Singular 1000lb bomb, both British and American, performs about the same as the SC500K. Having two of those means that Meteor/F-80 should fly at half the speed of Jabo to make it somehow similar in bombing power
2x500lb AN-M64A1 bombs get to perform similarly to the SC-500K. 2x500lb G.P MkIV gets to perform actually better than the SC500K as anti infantry tool but suffers as tank disposal
Having any Jet have more than 500KG/1000lb of bombload is just bad for the game, straight up. Even Kikka should return to 500KG bomb once they get to have a proper attacker at BR5
If the Meteor were to be anywhere near balanced with the bombload it had, it would need to have flying stats of a Hurricane lol
If anything Meteor is still plenty powerful with it being able to outturn majority of the planes in the game, even after the bombload nerf as it was only a part of the problem. But I’ll give it that now it has one of the worst bombloads amongst jets so it’s only fair that it flies better than them - thing is that it still has better bombload than any prop plane and shouldn’t be able to outperform those

I just think jets should be moved to BR6 and high tier AA added. Also GOD FORBID America have better CAS than other factions.
It already has better CAS thanks to the existence of P-47
Better to say is ‘God forbid America to have 4x better CAS’ and yeah, please forbid this because it’s just incredibly ridiculous especially with access to SP + T99, T20, Hyde and Stinger anyways
Not to mention that ‘assymetrical balance’ of ‘this nation has better planes but this nation has better tanks’ just means one side tankers are miserable and the other sides pilots are miserable. Equipment should be on the similar power level even if different, not just be 3x better for ‘reasons’
Asymmetric balance doesn’t mean “these tankers and miserable and these pilots are miserable”, it means that each faction plays differently and if you try to play each faction the exact same then you’re gonna be miserable.
Also the Hyde is trash, the Super Pershing is overrated trash, the Rocket Pershing I barely see and when I do see it it’s already dead, the T20 is actually really good but not leaps and bounds ahead of the FG-42 II, and the Stinger is really good but there’s only about 1 per 100 MG-42-100s.
Okay let me put it into different perspective
Would you be fine with Meteor nerfs being reverted if it means that T20 gets deleted from the game? US gets to have 4x as good jet but they are stuck with M2 that’s 4x weaker than the FG-42 II
Assymetrical, now you are forced to focus on aircrafts when playing US. Too bad you are limited to 2 at a time so 8/10 players are miserable. I wonder who would’ve been able to predict that
Gaijin already said they aren’t gonna delete stuff so that’ll never happen. Plus I don’t think the Meteor should be reverted, I think it should get its bombs back with a nerf to its flight performance.
The problem was never the bombload, the problem was that it was and still is braindead easy to fly.
Hope it helps

What the hell does that even have to do with anything. I asked you a hypothetical question to put into perspective how powerful of a jet Meteor was and how putting it on ‘assymetrical balance’ just makes people miserable. This input from you serves no purpose at all
I never found the bombload problematic cause I’m not an HE spam crybaby. I always believed that the Meteor’s flight characteristics were the main issue because they were the main issue. You have to kill a Meteor on the first pass or it will just turn around and kill you, but then you also have to account for when it just tanks your rounds for some reason or that the speed and maneuverability of the Meteor makes the lead indicator have a seizure if the pilot wiggles their plane a lil bit.
The P-47 + Meteor combo was really good for CAS, but the main issue was that it was really hard to counter it, a single 20mm AA gun ain’t gonna cut it. So yes getting bombed can be annoying, but if you’re a good pilot then it’s easy plane farming.

well it depend on maps
kikka for sure can run away from meteor all the way back to the carrier, and gain speed and height behind the carrier, getting another attack chance
And kikka’s face-to-face firepower is better than meteor, 2 high velocity 30mm gun have little drop at far, you can snipe enemy plane at longer range which is impossible for me262 with mk108 potato gun.

i dont mind that the USA have better aircraft, it just that when i try dogfight an f80/meteor the crazy turnspeed always wins the fight. the bombload is fine just nerf the turn rate

All those jets never should have gotten bombs to begin with.
They should be super fast interceptors- especially effective against bombers, but with limited anti ground capabilities and bad turn rate.
