Depends on the model.
F Mk XIV and FR Mk XIV are 1943 planes with 1000 total built.
F Mk XII is a 1942 plane but only 100 built.

The rest are all post-war except for the F Mk 21 and PR Mk XIX but those only have 350 built combined.

Griffon Spitfires were rarer than Doras and Me-262s.

>Muh Griffon spitfire is a 43 plane
Only a select model.
Saying the Griffon spitfire is a 43 plane is as dishonest as saying the 262 is a 42/43 plane.

The Mk22 and Mk24 were not 43 plane. They were post-war
Mk XVIII was post-war too
The Mk 21 only become operational in january 45.
The Mk XIX entered service in may 44.
The Mk XIV entered service in december 43
The Mk XII only had 100 vehicles built.

So place when you want to say the "griffon spitfire" is a 43 plane, please say the Mk XIV and XII were 43 planes.

It doesn't matter how undermodeled the Hunter is

What matters is that the MiG-15bis literally has an arcade FM in RB

No, that's not what the problem is. The real problem is pilot training. As far as I'm concerned the FM is close enough to what it really is to not make a difference.

It's not hard to imagine what kind of jet this is when the "best climb" speed is only 100 knots away from "top level speed".

People climbing at 400IAS and trying to turn with MiGs is one thing.
But no jet in the game loses anywhere near as much thrust at medium speeds, including Canberra which is powered by the exact same engine, which is the reason it's a bit underwhelming in dives and steep zooms for the TWR and airframe cleanliness it has.

So by running away you're not really doing anything other than wasting altitude that may have allowed you to win.

What's the point of the tempest?
It's fast but not nearly the fastest
It can't turn
It's shit at high altitude
At low alt you need to be diving and have a clear get away because any quick movement will snap your wings
It's has good guns but you need to be able to get in a position to use them and because of everything mentioned above, that rarely comes. I feel like I should just play a thunderbolt and actually kill things.

If you want a non-spitnigger 5.7 bong plane you should play the Sea Fury instead because it neither snaps nor overheats and you can do some nice things with the rollrate and it's adequate at altitude.

>>122380964

>>122386950
Because contrary to popular belief, the Cl-13 is pretty shitty. As is the F-25. Having .50s at that tier is absolutely useless in this game. The amount of time you have to keep on target is just way too long with how fast the combat is. That's one of the main reasons the F-2 was the best jet in the game for so long, you only have to shoot a small quick burst to take our your target.

That's relative to what it faces. It most certainly does not have better armor at 5.7 as it constantly has to face tanks which pen it just about everywhere. Upper/lower glacis and the giant turret target are all massive weakspots frontally.

7mm is suffering for all, but Gaijin's servers have been much shittier since 1.53. I have had 9.0 matches in which Hunters, Migs, sabres, you name it are teleporting around. And this has been on both American and European servers.

Just go for flight performance. It's a lot easier to make unreliable guns work than it is to make poor flight performance work.

tempests suffer from massive stock syndrome, they're pretty fucking good once you have all of the flight performance upgrades. But you NEED engine injection and 150 octane fuel ASAP.

I've never really liked ShVAKs for some reason.

Russian cannons in general just don't feel right to me, and I can't really place why. They're powerful, accurate and have plenty of ammo, but they just feel off. Maybe it's the sounds and effects.

What are the Russian stealth belts again? Been ages since I checked. I use stealth on pretty much every weapon in the game because I find tracers unreliable and make me aim worse.

I posted one in the treadhead general but it got largely ignored

/thg/ is ded 99% the time. Post it again sometime, or just make a thread asking what people think of them.

Your turrets are huge in comparison to your hulls, btw.

>>122414065
It was intended with the AA (If you look at the Tunguska or Shilka, they also have enormous turrets) but yeah the other tank was meant to be a big longer but extending the body is a pain in the ass.

If the Me 410 removed the second crew position (and associated gun turrets) and fixed that disgusting canopy shape it would be an objectively perfect heavy fighter.

So the De Havilland Hornet?

No because the hornet is kind of ugly and hispanos are a really boring armament

Anyone has screenshots comparing WT with DSR on and with DSR off, I'm curious as to whether you can actually notice a difference on a normal monitor

What are these for, and how are you making them?

1) to soothe my own autism, I sorta do these instead of playing warthunder. I also used one or two designs in some alt hist I'm writing with a friend

2) Drawing them in AutoCAD

Pop that shit into 3d mang

>>122416274
Why would you settle for that generic late-war fighter cockpit when you can have the perfect interior of the Me 410?

As if I'd participate in the losing half of a turkey shoot against a plane that climbs better, turns better, has a better breakup ("dive") speed, better level speed, and better anti-jet armament.
