Best Boom & Zoom Fighters

[@AllenLu]

PLEASE make online campaign that you can play with friends, like escorting bombers or intercepting. These game modes will become extremely popular trust me

[@thepakistanipotato]

Air assault?

[@CaptainLegionary]

Something more like the dynamic campaign or historical campaign you need to buy?

[@Fischbroetchen2k]

Or give us Air RB Enduring Confrontation. This way there would be AI Bomber formations and players flying in formation and hunting in packs would be viable.

[@AllenLu]

not air assault, all are real players and they switch side so everyone can be attacker or defender based on true history campaign.. but anyway they wont add it cuz it's gaijin

[@anthony7697]

1: unless you guys did something weird in game - the 30 mm gunpods on the G-14 impact performance less according to the modifications/secondary weapons screens 2: The 30 mm, while having less ammo and perhaps a little trickier to aim with different drop on a 3rd weapon type, are way more efficient at sending someone back to the hanger 3: The most important one - say 'they don't really impact performance', when the guy running a clean set up can run them down, out climb them, and out turn them. There's a reason even in reality modifications with the gunpods were viewed and used more with the idea of bomber destroyers because of the impacts it had on fighter vs fighter performance.

P-47 is my true love in boom & Zoom.

[@Zealot2024]

Personally I love to use the Do 335 B-2 for booming and zooming. It's definitely more of a boomer than a zoomer, but it usually has just enough speed to do the job

[@TrashSt4r]

The F-84B is another great B&Z fighter but it’s a bit harder to obtain

[@vizender]

I would also have mentioned the French VB10s. They can dive to ridiculous speeds for their BRs, and can maintain those speeds and climb back up really easily

[@yosef_tetro]

The S-199 Sakeen is a suprisingly amazing Boom-And-Zoomer at its Battle Rating, having ridiculously strong armament (but pretty medicore accuracy, especially for players like me, who got used to Soviet nose-mounted guns).

[@thestarrun]

I personnally use the P38 L-0 with 2 gun pods (2 12.7mm guns each). It's not the best at its BR, and It's quite hard to use it properly when you don't have a lot of experience, I use it simply because It's my favorite airctaft from ww2.

[@King63Kobra]

I love the P-38s. Fast and punchy but still agile enough to keep up with lighter fighters if they aren't expecting it

[@thestarrun]

@@King63Kobra With the gun pods it's not very agile anymore. But yeah you can still escape some other fighters in a dive if you are in danger

[@draconon7072]

Will there ever be an update to the older test flights that add enemy planes to shoot down like in both high tier jet test flights and the test flights of the newer nations?

[@Skafreund91]

Just wanna mention the underrated french VB.10, especially in Air-Sim. Flight handles more like a Jet. Its basically a Hornet just 2 BRs lower, except the gorgeous climb rate.

@@XimTraax I´ve never said that, I said that the tracer rounds should have close to identical velocity to the non tracer rounds and thus making the statement of the guy before invalid. Why the hell would you use tracers when they have a different trajectory then normal rounds? Wouldn´t that defeat the purpose of tracer ammunition entirely? And if you hit nothing, it can´t ignite nothing.. of course it could ignite a vapor trail of fuel.. but an undamage aircraft won´t leak that amounts of fuel to be ignited.

[@dr.luizvalerio1424]

in the game description yes, but when you join in the map to play... the things are different. much different! even the P47 D can outclimb anything in germany prop tech. ANYTHING. and perfom much better, has more power on engine and better guns and turn rate. Germany tree line is good in terms of history, but is very poor in terms of performance. the only planes there i really trust is the FW 190 A1 and A 4 and bf 109 G2 trop. and BF 190 F series. all others aircrafts, i am serious, ALL others, have no advatage.

[@mikez3114]

As someone who only plays USA planes. You can do everything right and will still lose 85-90% of the time. It’s just the way the game is rigged. For instance today I was flying my -4 Corsair. I was at 22,000ft and a bf109 F was at 17. I dove on him. Stayed straight line. Next thing I know he has j turned is on my 6 and climbing while gaining on me. Then I watched as he dove on me to gain. I would pull away as he level or then he would climb and dove again. All the time inching closer to me. I just dragged the game out until time was up cause there was nothing I could do. My point is just accept that as USA you will lose a lot even if you do everything right.

Day 13: Please add the Defiant in the British tech tree at battle rating 2.0-2.7 not a premium please ik its not that great but i just want an intercepter at 2.0 to take out Bombers i mean like its just a fighter that can engage enemy bombers quiker which can help alot with te back guns you can take out bombers from 500m under the bomber so it will be a good bomber killer but is weak againtst fighters i think

[@76456]

I dont use gun pods on Bf 109 G or K because it does make the performance worse even if just for a bit. 20mm gun pods have more drag and weight than 30mm ones. I use just the engine cannon either 20 or 30mm one along side the 13mm

[@cerealenjoyer3000]

tbh the extra firepower is really worth the little bit of extra drag. being able to destroy a target in a single pass with your guns is pretty important because of how pitiful thw damage output of the guns are from realshatter. the small performance hit shouldnt really matter anyways, unless you're fighting someone that has equal skill to you in the exact same place, which shouldnt be too common
