you mean it cant dive as well as p47's and p51s now? god bless
53
As a Ju-288 player, this is fair
46
Lol yeah you rip so easily and headons are a bitch along with how easy your Gunner gets shot out
-73
We get it, you abuse the Ju288 and dont want it nerfed
56
Lol it's a good plane not abusing
-61
It's a bomber at 5.3 that is faster than every prop fighter below 6.3, it isn't a good plane it was downright broken
32
How sad the pay to $$$ bomber is getting nerfed. I have one and love it... But it needs a nerf.
1†
So I played a few matches with it yesterday and frankly, the Nerf is 'meh'. I just can't dive on targets or land without planning ahead a little more. That's about it, and the airbrakes just get used more to compensate.
1
Entirely my thoughts as well.
1
So i noticed in the flight model file for the 288 that the mach limit and flutter speed have both been decreased from 0.86 to 0.6 for mach and 810km/h to 675km/h for speed. I'd like that u/mike10d would confirm to me that it's the case of it being nerfed.
34
810km/h to 675km/h for speed
That makes a hell of a lot more sense.
32
Finally!!
Was this in a devserver update?
17
Yep we gotta wait until live for this change.
16
Nice, and it updated again now, that's the 5th patch in a day or so
8
It reverted to 1.87 from what I heard so I haven't touched the launcher at all so I can have a good look at everything.

aS A 288 piLoT...
yeah yeah thanks a lot for making our lives miserable for nearly a year now you pricks
24
six months but ok.
Don't hate the player, hate the game. Why wouldn't people use a vehicle that is so effective at grinding when they can?
17
I believe he's mostly complaining to the people that go "REEEEE GAIJIN HOW DARE YOU NERF MY OP PLANE"
9
In the same breath though. How about they figure this shit out before they release it. People bought it because it was OP. Time to make another charge back.
5
R2y2 line ?
4
of the few posts in this page with "as a 288 pilot" mine being one of them, they seem to all agree this is a reasonable and sensible change.
2
Yeah, i know, i don't agree with him judt clarifying a bit
1
Its pretty obvious that is precisely who he isn’t talking about
1
Reading it again, sure does look like it
2
Looks like I am going to play the JU-288 quite a bit untill the update. Also, it is so fast it will still beat fighter to the bases. Plus who cares it has airbreaks. Good contol of those and you will still do fine.
Edit: As a 288 Pilot, It is a move I support though
13
Looks like sales slowed down so they can nerf the vehicle now. Hopefully people can stop buying the 8.7 premiums so those can finally get nerfed too
8
Thats likely the reason, but thinking that the game will improve in that regard is delutional (sadly). If the A2D is anywhere near its dev server performance, it will be the new ju288/air-spawn-hitlerbolt - at least until sales stagnate, and we get another broken plane to replace that.
1
Considering the A2D was making the same amount of thrust as an F-4 Phantom it most certainly was not final on dev server.
2
It uses two turbines combined in one engine. On the dev server each individual turbine had the hp/thrust of what their combined output ought to be - giving it twice the power it was meant to. Even with half the power (still above 4k hp) it will still outrun its competitors.
2
I was hoping for something around 720 kph, but this will do. How is this in comparison to the He 177's limit?
7
If i'm not wrong the 177's Vne is 650 km/h

NOICE

I changed the flair due to Rule 2:
The DATAMINE flair is for substantive datamining posts. Please do not overuse it for e.g. individual screenshots or minor discoveries.
It will be a popular discovery, but it's still a tweak to a single plane.
6
Seriously I cannot understand that rule, nothing but a few posts apply for that flair this way.
Why even have that flair at all?
2
nothing but a few posts apply for that flair this way.
For exactly that reason to filter down to just the big patch datamines, since otherwise we have to manually create an archive to make them easily found since the search is dodgy at times and we can't expect people to just "know" the dataminers when they get here to check their profiles.
This way there's a few dozen posts to sift through as opposed to 20+ screenshots submitted each by multiple people all having the same flair and burying the substantive posts.
It probably should be locked for mod granting, but then it hampers the actual dataminer from gaining traction on their report.
There's really only two restricted use flairs, they are clearly outlined as one of the first rules. Ez
7
And people will still find a reason to bitch about it.
4
Must have hit the money targets.
4
so it cant nearly dive as fast, but can still outrun fighters in a straight line? sweet.
3
At first hard to accept. That plane is one of the few strings that keep me in the game.
But a fair and needed change indeed.
Hope that further adjustments follow that make ju 288 not that op while maintaining his fun fator.
3
Wait and see, he last Dev server the K4 was nerfed a bit (or made more realistic) and the cry went up. I think the flight model actually got buffed further when the update finally dropped

PRAISE BE
2
Honestly as an ju 288 abuser i love that. Fake nerf and then they will leave it as it is for next 3 months = fun dogfighting spits in ju 288 for some time yet
1
Good.
I think people exaggerated the problem anyway. When was the last time bombers won the game at that BR? It was mainly people who were thirsty for an easy bomber kill who dived after them and then complained.
Why not let them drop their bombs and kill them easily near their AF when they are low and slow?
-14
If you wanted to truly abuse the plane you wouldn't land and always turn your back towards enemies attacking you. That's what's gamebreaking about this plane.
13
I think the real problem is the shitty game mode, but you have a point.
7
The problem wouldn't exist if the game mode wouldn't reward running away and delaying the battle.
9
I wish I could throw out the landing gear, after the bombs drop its fighter baiting time. Landing is for wimps.
1
because that shit delays the fuck out of the game and airfields 420 no scope people.
4
Absolutely true. But imho that's a problem with the game mode and not specifically this one plane. Plenty of other bombers start space climbing to piss everyone off.
-5
yes, however this is the only one that space climbed and was faster than all the fighters attempting to intercept it.
1
How are you forgetting the A-26C models or the Tu-2S? They are just as fast with good payloads and equal or better turret gun.
-5
That's good. As an adamant abuser of this craft I can say this vehicle needed some BV treatment. Totally unrefined DM and FM on release.
GJ got their monies worth.
