Nerf Zeros already

[Edd えどがあ]

Okay, serious complain about these A6m5's , using a F4U with 4 20mms and dealing serious critical shots they still fly and has everything okay in their plane outplaying after some time dogfighting, recently played the same game against 2 of them, first one got twice critical shots and still flying without problems, the second one got one critical shot and still flying like nothing happened, so whats the thing? i mean, 4 20mm should at least deal major damage to wings or something but these planes dosnt get any of that, any other plane has no problem with 1 critical shot they get or a slow climb rate, slow turning or lack of speed but zeros does not recieve any of that. ¿Anyone has deal with this issue?

How are you managing to not kill one of the lightliest armored planes in the game with 4 20Mm guns, are you purposely missing?

[halolo39]

bruh even 7.7mm of rank 1 planes can lit it up like a roman candle

[kittyhawkmeow]

♥♥♥ planes got crazy unrealistic survivability recently
they all put fires out 80% of the time
meanwhile us planes die 90% of the time from fires

because this is warthunder, not a simulator. They will boost a plane just because people will fly it. I already saw 190's overturning spits, p47s overturning p51s and so on.

People have to understand that there is no accuracy regarding how the plane flies in WT because again, its not a simulator and its not supposed to be, regardless of the mode.

Stats aren't artificially boosted

Zeros are weird. Sometimes they burn for about 2 seconds before their wing or fuselage collapses, sometimes the fire goes out and the plane is fine

[flyboymb]

All of the flammability of the combined Japanese air fleet was taken and crammed into the Do 335 instead.

The Komet is amazed about how easily it ignites.

[FireFromBehind]

Skill issue.
Use air target belts and boom'n'zoom.

lol the thing gets hit by one fifty cal and explodes into the fires of hell try actually shooting them

I think you are facing A6m "6"s not the m5, the m5 will explode from touching a cloud the A6m6 is one of the only aircraft in the game that can survive both a 1 v 1 head on against a wirbelwind and defeat the BV-238 in single combat with but mere scratches, those m6's will have no problems what so ever with glancing blows from your 20mm's, you gotta hit the pilot or the engine to knock these out of the sky.

[Ko Kasumi]

Actually one important thing to note is that the A6M5s have something every zero before lack, that being CO2 extinguishers in the wing fuel tanks, meaning they do in fact survive fires more often than other Zero's, however if you actually hit center mass with a 20mm it will catch the engine tank on fire which is a guaranteed kill so...yeah just hit it solidly instead of grazing hits. One thing also of note is that if the frame is damaged but not on fire it honestly doesn't affect the performance of the A6M5, if the engine works the maneuverability will be there. Basically unless it's a fireball on the ground don't assume it's dead.

[Slyke]

No matter how much they "nerf" them, it will never be enough. As long as they'll be able to shoot and move, they'll keep owning you. Change the attitude and you'll do fine against anything, including A6M.

[SteelWolf45]

OP, if you're turn fighting zero's, you're doing it wrong. Boom and Zoom them.

[shadain597]

Did the OP skillfully crit the landing gear each time?
