Misspoke on this one, was meant to go in the 100kg part.
Should also add that the U.S. doesn’t have a single fighter with a 500lb bomb (even though they are weaker than germany’s) on a BR1/2 fighter. I’ve come to accept and appreciate the fact that any one faction has a huge leg up in one area, in any given BR, and it’s okay.
spam spot button / look out for cannon fire.
And in fair share of maps theres those couple spots where tanks prefer to stay.
Must be horrible.
Which must be extremely hard for best fighter of the game
Which is another much asked feature ever since the jets came, the BR1 AA gun really isnt doing the job anymore.
100kg - / - 500kg
And p38 with the rockets.
Planes with alot smaller bomb blast radius are OP in low BR
But you struggle with one of the if not the largest bomb of the game against arguably one of the slowest tanks.
???
Which highlights the imbalance even further as US has plenty of rocket options which are by far easier to use than bombs.
Tank can be killed by literally anyone.
While on plane your only problem is another plane which hardly is issue for best fighter of the game.
And in rare occasions the AA in which you can blame yourself most of time.
Its a interceptor plane used against V1’s and never against other planes during ww2.
So your historical argument doesnt exactly work here either.
Sure, if murrica loses öfrenröhröhreh, T20 & Hyde and arent replaced by other fantasy equipment.
Sure then you can keep the meteor as it is.
But as you can rather clearly see, the murrica has gotten buffs in every department lately so the meteor nerf is more than justified.
Are you serious right now? Are you still playing the client where m8 rockets were good, cause the rest of us aren’t. It’s on par with having a couple 100lb bombs, almost useless. The only saving grace is It’s speed and guns for dog fighting capabilities in low tier which still really isn’t all that in comparison to other’s. If you’re one of few who like to complain about the p38 then you’ll complain about anything the u.s. has that’s above 100lb bombs which the u.s. was stuck with for the longest time.
So maybe ask for a different jet altogether then?
Must be your aim assist then on console, since in PC version the rockets does kill fairly effectively the infantry.
And tanks too but takes few hits.
Dunno, to me it seems it you kinda try to find what ever scapegoat from tanks to guns to justify the meteor.
And history, while historically this was never even used against planes on WW2.
Little bit cherry picking history.
Did allies have much of options ?
Another fantasy buff for murrica.
What are you talking about? I’m talking for germany lol. It would be great if they gave germany another jet to choose from right? One with less CAS than the 262 and better maneuverability? The meteor goes up to 16 seconds, the 262 goes up to 21, and you get another jet with a closer turn time. Everyone is happy. Problem solved.
…and u.s. gets a jet with rockets. Sounds great to me
So we go back to K4 ? Which was essentially only fighter capable to compete with murrica while holding 0 cas ability.
So GE needs a FIGHTER to compete with murrica while murrica has all-around plane to do it all ?
Why not ask flying pershing?
If I wouldnt know better I would suspect you are quite highly biased towars burgeroids.
I didn’t say that. I’m not very familiar with what other jets germany could get and their payloads/stats ontop of that. 1-2 500kg bombs with 20mm cannons seem fine to me if that makes y’all happy. By less i mainly mean the mark 108s ontop of a 500kg bomb. I also think it’s then reasonable to give the u.s. a jet with the opposite traits as well, worse plane fighting, better CAS. And our version of better CAS just so happens to be rockets. I would actually love to see rp3 rockets on a fighter. Again not really sure what could be given there but 6-8 rockets with 1 big bomb and a slower turn time seems fair to me, maybe even only 2, 20mm and 2, 50 cal. or 6, .50cal guns only. Something like that. Basically the shooting star with added rockets, and 1 less bomb.
Off topic, but I’m actually really excited to get this new event BF109. I’m thinking it’ll be a CAS beast with it’s 4 mark 108s and bomb, and I’m assuming the spacing between the cannons will make them even more effective.
Sure if it functions like meteor.
Air fight would be better balanced if US didnt have jets at all.
And even then murrica wouldnt exactly suffer.
Better for the germans lol. Just wouldn’t be right for germany to get a jet and the allies not, especially when they were real which I know is one of your biggest gripes along with veekay.
Suffer? As a whole, no. As I’ve said many times before, it’s about how you use the equipment you have. How you choose to engage will determine the outcome far more greatly than whether or not the equipment is similar. A sniper rifle is far more effective (on average) used at a distance than up close trying to clear buildings. If the 262 is an interceptor and there’s a meteor around, then use it as one instead of thinking it’s a nimble fighter. Don’t cut through the center of the map, stay high and off to the side or even up high and in the back by enemy spawn/resupply. Only turn and engage on their rear after they’ve past you while keeping some distance so when they inevitably try to turn you can still throw a hail of 30mm rounds ontop of them either instantly taking off a wing or just completely destroying it all together. I guarantee you could keep a match relatively clear of meteors this way.
I’m going to start a montage of using a 262 to take down a meteor just for you.
No shit ? There was a massive gap between murrican air superiority compared to GE.
This absolutely ridiculous do it all jet for murrica definitely didnt make it closer to balanced.
Its easy to say " use what u have and make best out of it " when all the latest updates have been buffs towards murrica.
Pershings
T20
Hyde
Öfhreröehröh
I can also make video of doing well with just l
ee-enfields obviously murrica doesnt need anything else then.
You can drop separately, you drop them together for the purpose of tank killing which then translates to blast radius (which is still bigger on 2x500lb compared to 1xSC-500K)
You cannot shoot your 4 cannons separately which means that 4 shells with land in very close proximity limiting your area coverage
Of course the type of people like you would say that. Who gives a shit that everyone can have the vitality perk with an exception of few premium squads or tankers, while only Soviets get body armor
Honestly I’m done. I ain’t arguing with fodder that maybe a plane having best bombload in the game combined with the best flying stats in the game that flies with best attacker plane in the fame is maybe a bad idea - it should be just obvious but seems your head is made of tungsten
The plane was the best in real life. How hard is that to understand? And incase you didn’t know, russia was the only nation to use body armor like that. It’s neat that it’s represented in the game. Do they need a customization overhaul? Yes. But the body armor itself with the slight damage reduction is not the problem.
You tell me to acknowledge the meteor is broken, but yet you can’t acknowledge that the most overpowered perk in the game is not? Lol funny. I hardly play russia to begin with. Mainly germany and u.s. and i still don’t whine about body armor. The game would be a much better place without the perk. Without the perk the body armor issue that y’all like to boohoo about so much goes away. Logic man…just logic.
I’ll also have you know that i EASILY took out a meteor with the BF109 g6 last night playing BR4. If you can’t kill one you’re doing something wrong
Just like FG42 was, but for balancing reasons T20 is same if not slightly better.
Hyde ? Never used never adopted, but somehow with weaker round its again slight upgrade from stg44.
Wheres the historical advantage here ?
only one faction can use it
everyone can use it
Theres the little differency
Again only one faction can use it without any downsides
It seems everything is easy in console lobbies where ppl are just slightly worse than bots.
But I believe we went thru this subject as well.
I do not give a slightest shit about its performance IRL
Tell me where do I say its not the strongest perk in the game. Point it out come on
You know what else goes away? Entire fucking weapon balance. There are numerous threads where people propose just increasing soldier health to 13.5 and changing the perk to something else to avoid this issue
No shit. I shot down 4 Meteors in a row in a Me262 last week. Guess what? Its still fucking busted broken - because I fucking played it and were untouchable in the sky
Literal tungsten in your brain
