F-89B Is Too OP, Needs BR Increase

[Omega Sirius]

Make it 8.0, who else agrees?

It has afterburner, over 1000 kmph max speed, it's 7.3, high acceleration, etc.
It is in no way comparable to a Horton or a Mig-9

As someone who doesn't have it and hasn't been able to play a whole lot of 1.91 (Thanks real life...), might be beneficial to have a "And this is why I think it needs a BR increase...".

Guns are very hard to get ontarget due do rudder(reminds me of do335b2) and max speed is 1000kph but it will rip well before that

[Mr. Waffle]

Someone explain to me how the F89B is a 7.3 jet

Id rather fight flying RU 251's the F89B is beyond OP at its BR going against me 262s etc

[Top Cat]

It should'nt be. The US is overpowered. Russia needs the Mig-23, Su-24. And lower the BR for the Migs.

Merged with a virtually identical topic posted not five hours before this one....

It rips at 925 kmph IAS, but even the 7.7 F-80C is incapable of reaching that speed

Exactly, it's more comparable to a La-15 then a freaking Horton or Mig-9

Uh... I can get to those speeds in my 6.7 P-80 in a dive. Plus then there's those F-84s, which can also reach those 1000 kph speeds but without ripping.

The only upsides to the thing are acceleration and firepower. You have to deliberately keep your speed slow, especially if you want to dive on targets below you, in order to not rip your wings off when you engage the enemy. And you carefully have to babysit it's speed, much like the Hunter or Javelin except to a greater extent as your rip speed isn't your max speed it's lower than your max speed. Plus it has no standoff weaponry, which means at 8.0 it's low speed will mean its borderline completely useless instead of situationally powerful like it is now.

Isn't 8.3 the very lowest rank with 'standoff weaponry' and most of it higher up than that?

Germany gets a Sea Hawk at 8.0 with 2 sidewinders, but otherwise correct. But I was talking more of if its BR was upped to 8.0 there would be 0 point to use it. 7.7 may be fair for it, but definitely not 8.0.
