forum.warthunder.comWell they are making some good overall improvements. I'll be happy to wait as long as they keep this up.

Why do i have the feeling that i already know what tomorrows news is? ^^

Honest question: Now that the He-162 (6.7) and the Me-262(7.0) are being placed in a reasonable position to fight high-end props, would it be horrible to uptier the Ho-229 to a 7.3? It's an extremely potent aircraft in the right hands, and fairs even better than the Me-262.

If it did I would almost consider flying my Lancaster again. Almost....
Then I remember Doras are at that br still :(

It doesn't really matter much if the Lancaster is even as much as 3.7, because for all it really matters It'll just get shot down by P-39s and Yak-9Ts instead of Doras, Ho-229s, and F8Fs. The only thing really keeping it high tiered is its bomb load.

I just want it to not see jets anymore is that too much to ask? ;-;

At the absolute most, I'd say put it at 7.0. At 7.3 it can get put in matches with the new rebalanced F86 A-5.

Ho-229 is fine where its at. I suspect that with the lowering of the Me-262, Ho-229s will become much less common than they currently are.

I've almost spaded my ho, and it's now my german plane with the most rb air kills with about 100 rb matches. In my experience the ho is a really awkward plane to matchmake correctly. When i am downtiered into matches with bearcats and low jets, it feels absolutely dominant and it is no exaggeration to say that I get around 3 kills on average in those matches. However, the plane feels miserable when uptiered to face banshees and sea meteors. You are a slow plane with a relatively poor (not 162 poor but still not great) climb rate, and have to become a turnfighter. This can be successful if the team works together, but on your own the horton wing snaps come to bear. Because the horton can't pull heavy g's over 500kph or slightly higher, 500 being my personal cutoff for safe, you have to sacrifice airspeed to evade. And the horton, despite having excellent straight line energy retention, bleeds speed like a kite in high g turns. This leaves it generally undermatched against the mid tier allied jets. I think the ho could be a fair 7.0 with the shwalbe, but 7.3 is too high. It's in a spot right now where it's club or be clubbed, and I think it would be very hard to change that. Also stock syndrome is big on the horton, since stock it's slower than early allied jets like the meteor f3 and p80, but spaded it can outspeed and outturn them. If there was a way to separate stock and spaded br, I could see the spaded up at 7.3 maybe, but then it would lose to spaded planes in the 7.3-8.3 bracket.

Same with the G-2!

Wow, that is awesome. The Antons didn't need to be moved to 5.0. I'm glad they took a little bit more time to improve on it.

Does the first bearcat deserve to be at 6.0? It doesn't seem that good

I'm questioning this too. The guns have become sort of a let down ever since the .50cal nerf. There's only 4 of them and they do very little damage. Before the nerf, it probably would have deserved it, but not now. Might as well fly the cannoncat.
On the upside, I might fly Fw-190 A-5's again

I aint even mad about it being delayed. They are improving.
I am confused too... is this the same Gaijin we know?
The spies from WG may have been spotted ;)
