Yes nerf the jets to the ground absolute noob planes including the premium its so boring playing against them. Remove their payload and increase their turn rate.
But the problem is that CAS capabilities are incredibly low.
I always consider both CAS and airplane performance when evaluating,
If change it to a UK 500lb bomb, the balance will be completely destroyed.
This is the same as having a 50kg bomb mounted on other prop plane.
500lb in the UK is not a 250kg bomb.
It’s 100kg bomb, and there’s no HE Shell, so CAS can only do it with bombs.
However, because other countries have 500kg and 30mm HE Shells, their CAS capabilities are excellent, so their stakes are 60% CAS and 40% airplane performance, but after the Meteor change, they will have 10~15% CAS capability and 80~% airplane performance.
This is terrible compared to the relative Faction.
The CAS capability of the opponent’s planes is good, and the infantry killing power of the tanks is both TOP-class.
But in the case of the US, only P47 exists after the change.
So it’s better to back CAS, and full fuel to reduce the performance of the plane to nerf it.
Just filling up the fuel can have similar turning power to other jets, and maybe perform worse than other jets because the engine is weaker and slower than it is now.
And there’s no excuse it should carry two bombs equivalent to 200lbs each
Skill issue… use the indicator and one hit from the 30mm pretty much guarantees a kill on any fighter.
do explain why murrica is only faction enjoying this spam capability.
If it’s spam, can use other faction too.
Of course, I kill enemy tanks and infantry with Me262 and Fw 190 D-12, Kikka and Ki-83.
The P-47 in the US is a little bit more special, but
It’s not like other faction effects are falling out too much.
Just there’s no have a Ace pilot.
Actually, no matter which faction BR5 I’ve played, I’ve hardly seen anyone piloting other than me.
HAVR is easy to CAS difficulty, and 30mm also has a higher value than expected to kill infantry (but need very many more experience and skill).
Only few players use this properly, and in my case, it kills effectively by shooting predictions where enemy infantry might be at 30mm.
This is a player’s skill.
In other words, if can’t do this, it’s just Noob.
The 30mm HE Shell is not a decoration.
Ive killed people just with machine guns of plane, that however doesnt mean its nowhere near comparable to hvars in effectiveness.
So why does one faction require more skill than the other ?
Considering the US has got all the latest wheelchair assists they could imagine
T20, hyde, ofenförhrergrör & pershings
While GE still has broken D12 and nowhere near effective plane as meteor.
But instead, now that the Ho-Ri and Perdinant are added to the front invincible tanks, Ofenrohr is useless, which is why it’s checked with Super Pershing, but it’s very obscure compared to both, and it’s far behind in the ability to kill infantry.
So now that in the US, the only way to check the tank is by plane, the problem is that now that the Meteor is nerfed, the P-47 has to do it alone, the problem is that the other faction plane is still good.
Then here’s the question.
What will happen in the future?
How can the US be the faction of op planes, and not have op jet?

To be honest, it’s true to nerf because OP is right before,
The nerf is not oriented correctly.
So the players suggested nerfing the plane’s performance itself, which is the biggest problem with the Meteor, but it appears to have nerfed the bomb because it’s probably impossible unless it’s changed in War Thunder.
But there was a way to nerf without nerfing the actual performance, which is to fill up the fuel.
do explain why such is same with german tanks and soviet infantry… some semblance of historical norms.
And these 2 turretless tanks has been problem exactly when ?
Ferdinant, perhaps might at sometime cause minor problem due to soviets being well, dogshit.
But by the time when hori was announced the murricans had already adopted the plane centric gameplay and still do.
Hori is easy as fk for any plane to take out.
Even if this 1000lb to 500LB becomes reality the 500lb is more than enough to deal with any tank on the game.
Its been rather weekly topic subject that meteor is over performing.
HVAR spam has been fairly frequent subject for 2-3 years now.
Yet I cant really remember a single topic about GE planes overperforming.
Dunno they got the pershings
and to infantry they got hyde,t20 and öfenföhrörör
And GE still didnt get planes that are good as murricans.
No, I don’t think so?
Of course, it might be because I’m an airplane player
Most were shot down by Japanese planes before that.
If keep guard Ho-Ri, Ho-Ri will destroy the entire ground.
So the competent pilots of Japan give up the CAS and spawn kill all the enemy planes.
But it’s totally useless for Ho-Ri, and it’s the same for Perdinant that will be added in the future.
The front is invincible for the two.
That’s why no one has faced Ofenrohr in front against Ho-Ri.
Use the search → search topics with meteor.
I’m sorry, but I can’t say it’s not related.
I love how over the years, each time a bomb gets bigger, the playerbase become reliant on it lol.
There was a time where 250s on a fighter was the bees knees
Old school enlisted pilots removing KTs with 50 kgs lol
It was really horrible.
Oh Berlin and Normandy were terrible.
When 250kg was removed from the G-6 in Normandy, really
However, I think the change in the logic of the past bomb and the present bomb is also significant.
The 50kg bomb in the past was powerful enough to give the performance of the 250kg bomb today.
It is true that bombs used to be better
The bomb went off in a circle (now in the shape of a cone)
I even killed the one behind the wall, wwww
Of course the nerfs are reasonable now… but sometimes I miss them. (The infantry screams)
