so i just unlocked the r2y2

[LordBUM]

and after playing the first battle with it i'm confused why this thing sits at 8.0 when its slower than everyone else and it gets uptiered to 9.0 where it will face planes that not only travel at 10.00+ but also have missiles.

it plays like it belongs at 7.0 rather than 8.0 so why is it even at 8.0 in the first place if it cant compete with any other 8.0 jet.

It's a fake design that was never built so it was added with made up stats to start.
It started with a bomber spawn.
The japanese 30mms were 200m/s faster before nerfs.
A lot of better jets like the sabres and migs got moved down.


It's a relic from a very, very long time ago which should have been removed a very, very long time ago. IDK why everyone is acting like it's an amazing plane that you must grind out before it's gone, it's junk.

The R2Y2's are good jets that used to be a very balanced jet fighter / bomber before the snail ruined it with a massive Br. increase from 7.0 to 8.0, probably was their attempt to murder it prior to removing it just to make everyone angry.

Once they remove it, it wont be coming back and they probably wont bother to add anything to replace them after their gone so ya there's a lot of draw to grind them before their gone cause when their gone, their permanently GONE.
Same thing happened to the only good panther in the game. Was the only one to have the actual transmission instead of the garbage ones that don't have a reverse gear, historically only the two early panthers had the garbage transmissions with bad reverse gears while the later ones all had the better that actually could reverse. Shame the snail doesn't care enough to fix it even though it's been brought up several times by the community on BOTH forums.

Had the equipment for night vision but it never actually worked, it got removed before they implemented the night vision mechanics. Now a days you rarely see her on the battlefield.

Pure FOMO bait.
Im sure plenty of users have purchased a Japanese Premium to grind out the tree just a bit faster.

I doubt it, they've discussed the removal of the R2Y2s since the Panther II and Tiger II 105 were removed in 2018. Until now however there hasn't been anything to replace them but I guess Gaijin thinks the Thai subtree is a replacement (I disagree but alas).

The R2Y2s are junk for 8.0, they should be 7.0-7.3 tops. They have legacy stats from when most of these newer jets weren't in the game, the Japanese 30mms had more velocity and players did really good in them. I'm hoping Gaijin lowers them before they remove them, otherwise they're never gonna have enough "statistics" to lower them.
