Sim battles, gotta love it as an American main as my planes actually have their full performance.

Love playing sim mode. This video demonstrates how well American planes perform. In sim mode American planes actually preform to their full potential. They are Fast at lower altitudes, climb better, turn better, and hold their energy better. Using all of that, combined with my ROE, and you can’t lose against enemies. Also helps that I fly with one to two wingmen, but we love stomping yaks and bfs and ki’s in Sim.

Went 22 kills 3 deaths and 2 GT killed this match.

The A7M1 which i am fighting has a max altitude of 36,000ft with an engine producing 2,000hp, however at 32,000ft it makes between 700-800hp. The P47m could produce 2,800hp at 32,000ft. So how in the hell could this A7M1 perform better than me at its max altitude. It absolutely makes no sense.

I go to chandelle the A7M1 because it should have no horsepower or ability to climb, but nooo the thing pulls energy out of nowhere. I want to use my superior horsepower to stall it, but nope, thing acts like it has 4,000ho and prop hangs.

Something isn’t right with the flight models

Why are American bombers so frail? In this video my b29 gets blown apart from 6-10 rounds of 20mm, cuts the wing off, separates the b29 in half at the fuselage, and takes an elevator off. Why is this the case for the PB4Y, B24, B17, and B29.

When I shoot a G8N1 in the wing 6-10 times like I did in my last post it carries on just fine with minimal damage. A ju288c, pe8, me264, all can take so much damage and 20-30-40 20mm shells before going down, yet american bombers take 2-10 rounds to blow apart. Why?

So why the difference in damage?

Even the yellow damage on my B29 is from 1 .50 cal bullet hitting me earlier in game. Its just absurd how weak they make american bombers compared to others.

** no i am not asking the exception to be the norm.
** I don’t care if the damage model is realistic, you are flying with a mouse that has an instructor aim for you landing higher than 50% of shots compared to the 3% roughly hit rate during WW2.
*** Please see my video where I shoot a G8N1 7-15 times in the wing with 20mm and nothing happens to it.

*** I had 3 other photos to attach to show the issue and time but i can only attach one piece of media.

In this game within the first 5 minutes my team was wiped out leaving me and an A-26 left. This hornet, yak 3u, f4u-7, and an LA9 were all chasing me for the rest of the match. The hornet was higher and the yak 3u, so I turned away to run and slowly gain altitude while keeping speed. For 14 minutes I had to run to get separation and altitude while slowly giving up distance until I took the video above with about 3 minutes left in the game.

To the side climb bros, it doesn’t work well when your chased by faster climbing planes like a yak3u or bf109k or La9 and interceptors like the hornet that are faster than you initially.

To the yaks suffer at above 5k altitude, they definitely don’t as you can see even full WEP this yak 3u kept up without wep (i have the yak 3u and know its OP).

So finally after the yak and f4u-7 ran out of fuel and RTB I was able to work the hornet to hit it with 1:27 seconds left to force it to RTB. I finally with 50 seconds left secured the advantage killed the LA9 that was pulling up for me and jut when i was ready to start getting kills the game ends…

So gaijin, can we PLEASE change something. This happens way too often and American planes should not be this disadvantaged. I get it, the meta is climb thunder, but you need to give a variance in spawn altitude up to 25,000ft to stop problems like this.

I knew I was going to be killed by the G8N1, but I wanted to see what happened when I put 20-40 rounds of 20mm air target rounds into the right wing. After tagging the bomber it still flies perfectly fine…. Why?

It makes me wonder why this bomber survives so much damage when my American bombers don’t. So why is this thing so strong when my b17s, b24s, PB4Y and B29 all get destroyed or blown in half or snapped wings in 1-3 hits from a 20mm air target round.

Again it makes no sense to me.

Taking on the bf109 in this one. I don’t think this user realized how good the P38 or American planes are when used properly. At speed and altitude I can out rate him and pull on him in the vertical. Hopefully he learned from his mistake.
