I should also note that it shouldn't compete, the J2M4 is a mid-tier prop while the N1K is top tier.

the J2M4 generally is a brick at low altitudes, you're not going to beat any player who isn't shit. Only reason it doesn't have lower battle rating is its guns.

WEP isn't infinite,though. They use ADI. I don't know how long it lasts, but it's less than 45 mins of fuel

>>123775123
Bombs are really more balanced this way though.

Before you could decide the entire game by how many P47's Ju87's you had , now they are more useful for destroying enemies that you tanks can't get.

Most tanks are to slow to move away from the bombs deadly range anyway drop them with a little range and they explode instantly.

M46 is better than panther II in literally every way and it's the same BR and tier. I have over 200 games in both of them, with M46 spaded while only missing APCR on the Panther II and I can say for certain that M46 is better.

IS-2 1944 was worse than KT(H) before, but with the post war shell, it's better, regardless as to how much you want to meme about it, one shoting things with your 122 is better than your 88 needing two shots to kill shit.

T-44 has an armour to go against 6.7 shit without a problem (you can get bounces from your gun armour by turning the turret at the right moment) and all other tanks in his list that aren't 6.7 don't have a problem killing 6.7 shit, if you're at least slightly competent player. He forgot to add T-34-100, but yeah, considering the fact people are actually whining about M46 being bad, I don't expect them to be one of the competent players anyway. It's the same in jets too, a fucking F-84 complaining about getting wrecked by a fucking Me 262, but apparently post war shit needs being handheld and getting matched against ww2 shit

I've literally never seen the engine temp overheat. But oil can, depending on the map. Run WEP on Sicily or Saipan at low altitude, when climbing, you might have to throttle down a bit. But the Nazibolt doesn't have to fight on Saipan)))

Lack of penetration on the HEAT doesn't stop me from killing T-54s from the front with it. 90% of kills I got in both tanks are from sides anyway and M82 one shots things way more reliably than the long 88's APHE. M82 just nukes shit (all tanks but Maus can be penned from the side with it), so you'd only need the HEAT from the front.

Is the Ju 87D-5 anywhere near as cool as it seems? Because when I look at it, the only thing going through my head is "HOLY FUCK! 12 MACHINE GUNS AND TWO CANNONS!".

Can it actually be used against other planes or is it strictly a ground target shredder?

Pretty sure it's just to differentiate the nations. IRL, they were pretty evenly matched. In-game, if that were the case, it'd be boring as fuck, so they vary shit up. It's why brits are basically flying tanks, the russians are made of cardboard, but you catch fire if they look at your hard enough, the japs are so maneuverable you can't tell if they're turning or went into a spin and the germans are fast and pack a punch.

shots where? Anyway, you would need around 3 seconds to shot it down in WT with a single MG151 and literally 1 second of fire with the quad cannons of the 190, if we belive that report.

The game already has more matchmaking tiers than anything else comparable.

A four tier spread is thus less than anything else, already.

When it's three, why not make it two?

Why not make it one, so vehicles only see vehicles of the exact same performance, then complain that there still aren't enough tiers to accurately place every single vehicle?

Because if we do it once, it must be done to the fullest extent unless there is reason not to.

On the subject of "Top Speed Doesn't matter" I really hate that thing even when flying planes that are considerably faster than it. It has really weird energy retention. It's kind of like a Japanese cannon Chaika, I know well enough not to turn fight it, but if one uses its agility to evade my boom attack, I'm not always expecting it to have the energy and maneuverability to spin around and shoot me in the ass while I'm zooming away at high speed.

The game isn't going to be balanced.

Just a shifting fuck up of partially intentional bias.

>>123793402

>>123793617
It would be easier if the game went to 10 rather than 9 or 7.7

>>123790147
>>123793402

If we all opt to fly the "best options available" then there's really no point in having as many planes as we do. Having so many planes obviously makes balancing difficult, but we should be glad we have so many.

What do you want, teams of All P-51D-30s against all Yak-3Ps? It'll get boring fast.

>>123789019
Well, yeah, you killed a T5 with a T1, it's cool, but killing Leo isn't usually that impressive since pretty much every tank in the game can do it, especially considering that every russian tank could mow your open top TD with the AA machine gun their every tier 5 tank has. Not sure why at least US tanks don't get a few M2s on their top, like they do in lower tiers

>>123793853

10? I'd say 15 might be good. There needs to be a proper tier for pre-war planes to fight one another without being memed on by wartime aircraft and a bracket for higher-tier jets and a bracket for lower-tier jets and a bracket in-between for "super" props. The more that's done about BR compression the better, desu.

Is the 262 still anything but a seal to club for cold war jets?

>>123794463
20 tiers were pretty good actually, never had a problem getting in matches in any tier apart from jet era stuff, but it's faster to research now, so

>>123794463
That seems like too much. Props v Jets is really overblown imho. I'd rather play my beercan into He 162s than Mk 24 griffons any day. Also, burgers are missing a shitty early jet airacomet when that would fit that space.

>>123792643

Sounds dumb but if their engine is dead it might be better to ignore them and let them crash, unless they're within range of an airfield. Even then, they're likely to crash on the runway. They're really bad at landing for some reason. Having your kill stolen sucks but getting shot down sucks more.

Look for more threatening Targets.

>>123794732
The twenty tier system offered a similar level of granularity as the BR system.

>mfw I fell for the Russian Bias meme

I'm on Tier 5 of the German Tree. I started out playing just AB till Gaijin fucked Arcade up in 1.53. I decided to switch to Russia, which I have gotten to Tier 4 in the past and do RB.

For the past week, I've lost 7 out of 10 games I've played each day for like 4 days straight. Just getting outskilled left and right by German Guns. Even evenly tiered matches with 6.7 it was hard. King Tigers, Panther II/Fs completely owning Russian Teams, even Tiger H1/E were proving troublesome. The games were only sorta balance when Russia had America on their team. Even then, unless it was Conquest/Domination with early caps from Bulldogs or T-44s we wouldn't actually win. The slow traverse of the IS-2 is shit tier when trying to line up a shot, or when turning to someone that's flanking you. The T-44 has awful pen to kill King Tigers with on a frontal engagement even had a hard time with some of the early Panthers, and the PT-76 is a slow paper tank.

Did all the good Russian players switch German or something?

Yesterday I started playing Germany again, this time in RB. The mobility of the Leopard, plus its gun traverse and manageable gun depression make it so damn good. I have lost probably I'd say about 3 or 4 of the matches I've played since yesterday. Even American players aren't usually a match, they just play Bulldogs, and M36/M18 and end up getting one shotted when they overextend through the map.

Yeah, I know this isn't my blog. But it just makes me laugh now when people complain about Russian Bias in GF or say Germans Vehicles can't perform. I guess everyone plays AB where you can line up a shot with an IS-2 from across the map with ease and one hit kill.

>tl;dr git gud and dont blame russian bias

>>123795156

>>123794821

Not him, but a problem with that is other shitters will nig the kill if you don't absolutely destroy your target within a matter of moments of critting him. The number of times I've seen teammates frantically diving after burning wrecks I've beaten to death is just sickening.

>>123794986
>American players aren't usually a match, they just play Bulldogs, and M36/M18 and end up getting one shotted
Because the sherman jumbos are a joke compared to the tigers they face, so nobody plays them. Better to pen and be penned than get penned for free without even getting to go fast.

Also, leopards aren't bad, their players just haven't realised that the best armor is not getting hit.

>>123794986
Git gud and dont blame russian bias.
Russian tanks are brilliant and only at 6.7 do germans even come close to having as good tanks as them. Too bad said German tanks get clubbed by T-54s and T10Ms while not even T-44s have problems faceraping Leopards frontally.

I don't really remember it that well, but if I recall correctly, you went against shit with +-1 tier. Looking at the bong tree, you at least didn't have all meteors squashed together to see the same 8.0 shit all the time. And I'm just using Meteors as an example, but the game was more balanced back then than it is now. apart from LaGGs fighting reserve biplanes, that was never balanced or fixed

People, why did gajin fuck gnu/linux users over and made the game segfault while it ran finde the whole last year? I just came back to playing games and warthunder devs decided to deprecate mesa. :(

The 20 vehicle tiers boiled down to 11 matchmaker tiers (reserve-1, 2-3, 4-5, ... , 18-19, 20) and the matchmaker was willing to match one MM-tier up or down, so you could have 2-3 fighting 4-5. In short, the MM could match 2/11 (two elevenths or 18%) of the tiers into a single match.
Compare BRs, there are 25 BR-steps from 1.0 to 9.0 and the MM is willing to match up to 4 BR-steps apart (1.0, 1.3, 1.7, 2.0 in a single match). In this situation, the MM is willing to match 4/25 (four twenty-fifths or 16%) of the tiers into a single match.

Unlikely, at least for a while, but both suffered from "superior race" syndromes.

>>123794627
Not really.
An unintended side-effect of the new BR system is to give Germans a huge weighting at BRs 7 and 9.
We have the end-game sabre and the end-game mig, and the CL 13 is better than the F-2 in all but guns. The MiG is just a MiG. Germany's fondness for jet designs just before they fell to superior soviet army ))))) gave us the 262. Ho 229, 50mm 262, the cannon arado and, to a lesser extent, the unarmed arado.
The only 8.0s Germany has at the moment is the 163 (which nobody, as far as I can tell, flies) and the two rocket 262s (nobody flies these, for a fact). Other nations have a plethora of 8.0 aircraft, and they also have the more traditional route to 9.0 aircraft. The end result of this is, of course, that in the 262, you see props at P-80s 70%, F-80s and P-80s 20% of the time, and only 10% of the time will your entire team get clubbed by banshees.

F-80s and P-80s are the same BR so there's no need for you to separate them in your imaginary matchmaking scenarios. As in, you'll see p-80s, f-80s, and props, or p-80s, f-80s, and banshees.

There's more to Jet MM than BR, friend.

Reading this and it is no wonder why germans never had proper strategic bombers.
There seemed to be retards in every company that were in charge of designing any aircraft design.

Finished the download. MP seems pretty dead outside of vodkaland. The AI seems competent so I guess I'll have some fun with the semi-dynamic campaign.

What is the most balanced bomber interceptor in this game and why is it the Beaufort?

>>123795493
It wasn't +-1 tier. It was way more than that. 2 tiers was common and I think 3 tiers difference wasn't rare either. When flying Bf 109 E-3, which is what I mostly flew, I was consistently put in games with F-4s on my team. The tier difference between E-3 and F-4 was 2. I'm pretty sure I saw a few G-2s in my time too. Then again I also saw MiG-15s and Spit XVIs on the enemy team so I guess at some point it was even more fucked up.

20 tiers was the exact same shit we have now, the only difference was that Gaijin never bothered touching the matchmaking since it was tied to progression, so you were fucked if you weren't flying some overpowered saucer.
