Is the [Ju 288 C] a broken plane?

[Hypersonic Steel]

I swear that something is broken with this plane (on purpose or not). For some unknown ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason this plane has the ability to instantly quench any fires on its engines or fuselage. Other German bombers of similar BR [Do 217 M/K] are guaranteed to die when their fuel tanks get set on fire, but these premium Ju 288s put out these flames almost in an instant. It is not even funny, and if you experiment I guarantee that these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ will put those flames out almost unrealistically more often than the Dornier lineup.

Well lets see, it has the ability to out run fighters chasing it, it has a really good bomb load, the airbreaks are mounted on the flaps, so if you rip the flaps you should have no air breaks, but somehow they still work.
Keep in mind, this thing is also at the same br as bombers like the PB4Y and B-24D, and the only thing these two planes have over it its more guns, to bad they are bigger and usually die before they get to use them.

To put it simply, yes it is broken, it has no place staying at 5.7, i'd argue that not even 6.0 would be high enough, it's simply to good to stay there, but its a premium, and assuming that it follows the trend that the T29 and IS-6 followed, it will take some time untill gaijin fix it.

it got nerfed multiple times, it rips at about 500, even the poorest of props can dive at atleast 650, so no it doesnt outrun any fighter

so far it's only been nerfed once which is the rip speed, other than that it's still the same.

actually the br change and speed nerf were 2 different updates

It can easily counter any plane up to 6.3 and it has an amazing payload for it's speed and size.

500 what? i'm gonna assume it's mph, but still while not out running, the time it takes to catch up to one is stupidly high, combine that with an air spawn cause its a bomber, and even with that speed "nerf" its still stupidly quick, combine that with a good bomb load and you still have probably the best bomber for its br, i'd even argue that because of the repair cost its better than the B29.

tbh 90% of the bombers are too weak, one 20mm hits the wing dead on and slices it like butter

Except for Ju 288 LMAO it only gets "set on fire" which doesn't matter anyway because it puts it out instantly.

Pe-2's are zombies when it comes to engine fires.

thats true i almost never not put out an fire, but unless you are really close to the base or have 5k attitude then you wont make it back, the ju 288 literally stalls itself if only one engine is working which is kinda weird because it should be able to atleast sustain minimum speed/semi glide back
so if you damage one of its engines enough where it'll die and hes somewhat far from airifield you pretty much secured the kill
