F3D-1
I am about 15k RP from unlocking the F3D-1. Any tips on what I should and should not do, what modifications to unlock, helpful tips, etc. (I mainly play air and ground RB)

Play it in tank RB, it's just a free kill for everyone in Air RB, although headons is your best shot in survival( Believe me, you will be slaughtered by Me 262s and Ho 229s or even worst, by Migs or CL-13s ).

What about turn fighting. And it can verse CL-13s anymore since it is now 7.0

Turn Fighting in a jet... You sure about that? That plane can't turn aswell.

I’m only researching it for the new jet. From what I’ve seen it fly’s like a pig and isn’t really with it, not for Air RB anyway.

I heard that it also had good maneuverability. Are those people wrong?

It's very good with combat flaps, but everything other than that is horrible and unlike the R2Y2 it does not get a airspawn if I recall correct otherwise it would be quite OP.

How does it not get an airspawn if it an attacker?

It's 7.0 now XD, it's pretty OP in the right hands and I think it would seal club if it had an airspawn, but the thing is... The noobs who are using them right now, doing F**King ground pound and go for ground targets ASAP, and not climbing, it's actually not a bad climber with 23m/s climb rate stock, but the F3D is not idiot proof so my recommendation of it is mixed as I've got alot of F3D kills in my Me 262.

It's a defensive fighter at heart, if you have flyed the Fw 190 and had some sense of how a defensive fighter works, you need to know two things, "Speed" and the "Situation" if you got the speed advantage you will BnZ and turning is advised with flaps as always, if your Situation is abit frisky you like bandits on your six, you should switch to Defensive fighter mode and make the bandit over shoot and you really don't get the chance to change the tides as your a brick after all the speed is wasted on him, but who knows you might be lucky.

Overall, climb to around 4500+m if your uptiered and 3500m in a downtier, keep in mind your engine also overheats alot aswell and because it's also quite heavy, it cannot fly back to the AF with one engine, so good luck with that.

Fast track the 2k bombs and it's a really good bomber.
That's all I've used it for since it was released.

Never spend GE to get modifications.
Or boost research.
