Who thought the yak 9 was a good idea ?

[Kutya7701]

Honestly, it just NEEDS a nerf, now I know that this topic is gonna be instalocked by mods becuz trololol, they always do that, but comon, a 37mm cannon that just rips wings off in one shot is quite stupid. It should take atleast 2,3 hits to rip a wing off with that. Because then using some basic logic and math 2 20mm cannons hitting at once= 1 40 mm cannon which as we all know just recks everything.

♥♥♥♥♥, nerf the P-39s by having them in tier ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 3 not tier 2

[dr pussy]

P-39 isn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OP. It's paper and less manueverable than almost any other American fighter with a cannon, espesically when carrying its only payload option; rockets.

Part of that is because the RB battle ratings are different than arcade ones. The other part is they seem to have lost control of their automated battle-rating settings. Boomerang is all the way to 4.0 at tier 2 and the ME-410 A-1/U4 is tier 4 with the same battle-rating...

yeah the "dynamic" battle rating system was good in theory, horrifying in practice.

They should replace the BR system with sub teirs in Era's with Era 1 Being Reserve and pre 1940 Era 2 40-41 Era 3 42-43 Era 4 being 44-45 and Era 5 being Jet age. Then have a 5 teir system in each era like before 1.37

Danke ive been thinking of this system for a little while. Just hopefully they arent gonna force you into different eras with a previous eras planes unless you want

The P51 Mustang is in I believe the last tier before jets, if I recall, but it was present towards the middle of the war, not the end. It was made to escort the bombers during the air raids over Germany. At least I think.
EDIT: Did a little checking up; it was used up to 1982 apparently. Still, the plane was used for a very long time. Which era would it belong to, if it was used in both the jet and mid war eras?

Yes it was used in the jet era and some 3rd and 2nd world airforces would use it as their main plane or exhibition squad aircraft but this you would classify it as useable as in arcade a Era 4 plane but realistic you could have it in a 4/5 mesh

[BrigadierBill]

Some propeller aircraft may have served after WWII, but not in fighter roles. For that they would be completely useless.

When you think of P-51's in the vietnam war, compare them to OS2U's or BB-1's in a tier 3 battle.

[Vuyek]

Arcade is ruled by these derp gun planes. Airacobras and various P39 P36 cobras are also insanely OP.

[Vuyek]

The solution, as always, is to have RB FM in AB.

[BrigadierBill]

I still don't like the P-39 or P-63 for some reason. I prefer .50's or 20mm's (or my lovely 30mm's). The only derpguns I really like are the 50mm's on the ME-410's, and sometimes the 37mm and 45mm Yak-9 cannons.

Basically they're unreliable since they shoot so rarely, so lining up a perfect shot is impossible except against bombers or other huge targets. The ME-410 at least gets secondary guns, and unlike the cobras doesn't bounce with every shot.
