Strategic bombing wasn't a meme, it made perfect sense using it against Germany (and to some extent Japan).
If you use bombs to destroy a few tanks and halt an armoured advance, that's great, but if you destroy a factory that produces tanks then you halt production and it takes potentially days to recover just to be able to resume production.

It's because most of the playerbase that actually posts on the forums/plebbit are naziboos.
Nazi planes never fight jap planes, so they never learn how undertiered all of them are.
>>135540534
>>135539704
This honestly has less to do with the planes and more to the absolutely trash layout of most of the Pacific maps heavily favoring Japs with either airstarts or lack of time for allied teams to get alt

>butthurt americunt trying to defend his shit tanks

>>135540495
Main problem with clap+bong teams is the bomberspam that takes up around 25-50% of the team. Of course, airstart like on Guinea is another part of the problem, but I'd argue not as prominent one.
>>135540902
the only repair cost problem I saw was the Ki84-Ko of balance, all other planes were fine.
>>135540495
That was back when they were slow. Now they have J2, A7 and Ki-84.
While almost nobody plays Zeros because they are overtiered beyond the first M3.
Friendly reminder that brainead Ameriblubber teams with P-40s at 2.3 and P-47s at 3.3 still ask for BR handouts to survive when fighting Nazis or Nips
The reason why nip planes aren't complained about is that most of them can be countered using fairly simple tactics. It's not as easy dealing with Spitfires and Yak rocketmachines in a 109/190 as it is dealing with Ki-43s and A6Ms in a P-63 or P-47.
With the exception of bullshit P2W UFOs like the Nipsair, A7M1 and shitty tier IV flight models, it's really just a case of needing to fucking git gud.

Even then, when I take the A6M5, I can dodge from multiple mustangs and thunderbolts, still get a chance to helicopter meme them on their way past with a few 20mm HEFTY shells, one of which can kill them.

>>135541136
Yeah, but look at the average Nippon team. While Hayabusa does see some usage thanks to the airstart and solid performance, their teams are dominated by undertiered/UFO planes and those planes are nicely spread shitting up a wide range of BRs (J2M in lower, A7M1/Ki-84 ko in mid and N1K in higher range in particular)
>>135541278
>M5
)))))))))
Almost every airframe they have has at least one under tiered model.
>>135541409
The key is patience, which is extremely rare in airTDM, especially as they lose the rest of their team

>>135541819
No Zero is undertiered. All Ki-44 are shit. All Ki-61 are shit. J2M2 should be like 4.0 and A7M probably 4.7 or something.
That's assuming Yak-3P will go to 5.3 where it belongs.

I have to disagree with this part. Ki-44 was a turd on introduction, just because it handles worse than the Ki-43 doesn't make it a shit plane, only subpar. ki-61s are among the top mixed fighters in the game, MG-151 one is amazing, even at 4.7, which tells something.

[SIEMA] bros ww@?
>>135542516
Because it's not as abusable as other planes
The Ki-96 and Ki-83 are the two most broken right now.
The J2M2 is incredibly under tiered and can energy fight literally everything at it's tier, bf-109 F1 syndrome with actual guns
The Ki-84 ko is similar to the J2 but tiered higher.
The 43 has maneuverability and guns but that's it
One hit from a stray 12.7, it's down.
Caught without energy you're a goner.
Hell it can't take on bombers without skirting around them for hours.

Aight, give me your SC, and remember that next time no one fucking cares about your special snow flake autism tractor.

Sure.
>>135542341
A6M3 are perfectly fine at the same BR as Yak-3. A6M5 are perfectly fine at the same BR as Griffons.
Okay.

>MG-151 one is amazing, even at 4.7
So amazing almost nobody use it. They are outperformed by a ton of 4.7 planes. Shit, some 4.0 planes outperform them.
And earlier ones are armed with rice throwers.

>Cant spell control
we're done here.
Out skilled kiddo.
How the fuck did i face a T95 in a 5.7 T3 Lineup
>>135546474
Yes, weebs have the tendency to go for the nearest crutchplane they can get, doesn't make Ki-61 bad though. It just takes a bit more skill than throwing your mouse around.

Which of these belts is best?
>>135546920
>plane is good because it's bad
Spit mk.IX or Yak-3 shit all over it and sit at lower BR.
If you want to gimp yourself go ahead and play it.

how about p-47?

>a known UFO and a known undertiered plane shit all over a properly modeled/tiered plane.
>somehow it's this plane's problem
>>135547460
As of this patch, yes.
>>135547279
No they don't, you're just like a deluded jap-only player.
Its a competitive plane, able to deal with anything it sees.
>>135547279
>a UFO
before you say that the Spit Mk 9 isn't a UFO, I'm normally shit at planes in RB, yet I have a K/D of 3 in it. Brit planes are fucking broken.
>>135547670
And those planes are UFO's since forever and Gaijin won't even attempt to fix them.
Again, if you want to fly inferior planes go ahead.
>>135547279
A smart mustang can beat a yak parade, the ki is basically better sub 25000ft
Spit mk9 will bleed energy and die to zeroes, and is a little slower in common altitude
lads how come last man standing isnt working?
>>135548025
>Brit planes are fucking broken
It's only a handful of Spits that are broken and then they naturally get spammed to hell and back.
>>135548235
I'm doing fine with it, no need for me to pick a FOTM plane in order to be of any use to my team.
Are Japs the most orky faction? Suicide bombings, ramming other planes with no fear because brade forded one mirrion times, dakka, fight, kill, JAPPU HONOUR HAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????

>only handful of spits are broken

>>135549032
suicide bombing is a wholly american thing in WT
>>135549243
I banzai often, and sometimes out of boredom.

>tempest, a good plane that is amazing at nothing
>hunter, a brick with wings that bleeds energy faster than a stuck pig and has guns as its only saving grace
