He 219 A-7 is utterly useless
Today i bought the He 219 and I've noticed, that everytime I got into an RB fight, littearly everyone is climbing to my altitude, so I cannot energy fight anybody. As soon as someone spots me I am ♥♥♥♥ing dead. After the Mk103 nerf, this plane has no features anymore.

If I try and do bumber hunting, my team is there first because they can climb double as fast as me. I think noone should buy this crappy plane!

Maybe a tierdown would help

It's more of a plane for Ground RB. Try it there.

It's more suited for tank RB / enduring confrontation events

Ive just tried it out in AB. Worked well.
Compared to the Ta154, the HE129 is worse in almos every aspect but I should be happy with it, even tho I've farmed almost 2 weeks with the free eagles app to get it.

Got an Idea in RB on using it?

Destroy ground targets, if enemy plane is coming at you, run or try to headon and i always climb little bit to the side of the map C:

the 219 has better armament which is what makes it so good for ground attack, while the ta152 only has mk108 cannons the 219 has a mix of mk108s and the better mk103s which will shread armored targets from above with their HVAP

or you could take it into sim enduring confrontation and use the better muzzle velocity on the mk103s to snipe bombers more effectivly because the heavy fighter role is actually viable in sim

Maybe PVE?
In RB I ♥♥♥♥ up quite bad because this thing turns worse than a truck

And what ground targets should I priorize then? Since the nerf you cant pen the medium tanks anymore

that was nerfed again? while they were nerfed to not be able to pen mediums a while back it was changed back again at some point.

light pillboxes would be your best bet after tanks if thats no longer possible

gayyobb nerfing the hvap ammo time to time when enough crybaby starting to complain about it.

You can pen medium tanks from sides and back

Don't forget the roof. The roof is the thinnest point on a tank.
I use it almost only in AB and it works great for me, I think it was my fastest premium plane to play to ace. Hunt bombers, do head-ons and hope nobody gets behind you...

The He 219 is an absolute beast in tank realistic mode. Those 30mm HVAPs obliterate tanks in a single pass.

I will get the G Wagon and cap points to spawn in my plane i guess
timwey399 Aug 5, 2018 @ 4:26am 
Ive tried it out. and i think it is getting worse and worse.
I will stick with RB but everytime i get into an RB match, they just ♥♥♥♥ ME UP

like WTF should I do?
I cant outrun them, I cant outclimb them and my teammates arent helping me at all.
As soon as i reach bomber altitude there are 2 spitfires on my 6 and i cannot evade them.
I am the easiest target and I regret buying this plane! make it cheaper or remove it complete.
This plane makes no sense and it has no role at all.
