Using the Xa-38 as an example of balancing is stupid. The Xa-38 should have been moved to BR4 ages ago and the fact it’s still BR3 is ridiculous

It really isnt though youve got to actually be a decent pilot to not immediately lose in a dogfight
So what? Its an attacker and not a fighter.
With the twin 20mm it is good enough to can contest a head on engagement and jump at pilots that are unawear which is about as much as most attacker can hope to accieve. An attacker will almost always lose to a dedicated fighter.
ok by that logic JU 188 can go to BR3 with reduction to 4 250kg which is slightly more than 4x500lb
It actually wouldn’t need a reduction cause it doesn’t have the 75mm that the Grizzly has
Well its the same aircraft:
- Suggestions / Other - Enlisted — official forumI suggested it also in my Korean war topic. Its Korean War aircraft but the prototype was ready and tested during world war 2.
It has bad performance but its not BR III material its BR IV. BR III will be too much.
It isnt the same as the AD-2 it would be closer to the AD-1 if anything
They are very similar it simply cant be BR III with that payload and better performance then a Stuka or IL-2.
The first production variant of the Skyraider, the AD-1, was identical to the XBT2D-1 prototype; this was followed by the AD-2, featuring an upgraded Wright R-3350-26W engine with 2,700 hp
Well its not like super huge difference:
as you can see its still not BR III aircraft specially with that insane payload. If it has reduced payload it can be BR III.
1000 pound bomb and hvars is a reduced payload for the Dauntless II
it is but it dose not belong in BR III even with that reduced payload what other aircraft has such payload with that performance ?
Its better aircraft then :
This is BR III material here you are going with 4 cannons crazy amount of rockets and a huge bomb with almost the same speed … but 12 HVAR rockets is the biggest problem. If you reduce the HVARS to 6 or 8 maybe its possible to be BR III.
2 cannons later model skyraiders had 4 i think you keep getting the two mixed up
Even with the 2 cannon less is still 12 rockets this is like crazy… I mean Beaufighter Mk X has only 8 rockets and tis BR IV.
Much faster and has more cannons also the beaufighter probably needs downtiered no one uses it
Its 514.99 Unupgraded so yeah pretty much is the same. With better turn rate. I really dont see how it should not be exactly on the same BR. Its a BR IV aircraft. 12 HVARS even on their own dont belong on BR III. If its just with bombs or only 2 Tiny Tim rockets it can be BR III but with 12 HVARS thats just insane.

That is much faster
AD/A-1 is 514.99 … The Beaufighter is 529 unupgraded.
This is not an ad-1
What engine XBT2D-1 is using how do you think?
a hint:
Spoiler
