i own and use the p59 every now and then and I find using the weapon selection to pick mgs or 37 makes the guns way easier to use and it also extends how much ammo you get

Lots of planes benefit from this, most of the time people are too lazy to swap back and forth as needed😅

[@cheekibreeki4638]

Just bind the guns to diff keys so you don't have to fumble with switching

[@liamboyle9199]

@cheekibreeki4638 Yes... obviously you can do that. Unfortunately it isn't that easy all the time. For instance you're not going to key bind to your keyboard cause that's just impractical for shooting. So let's says it's the standard LHS MMB, my original mouse was good for MGs and the like bound to the MMB but my new mouse is a bit too solid for it. I can do it, I just don't prefer it, especially now that I'm back using scroll for power settings. The other issue is planes with lots of guns, Squadron 262 for instance. Sometimes you don't want to fire everything so it's nice to have the built in system. Sometimes I'll have the menu ready to what I want then I'll exit it and then I'm on button away to what I preset.

[@scottmcsherry3396]

Yeah I've set it up to scroll through weapons with the mouse scroll wheel, really simplified a lot of keybinds. Scrolling up cycles through primary weapons (MG's, Cannons, etc) and scrolling down cycles through secondaries (missiles, rockets, bombs). Then its just left mouse buttons fires primaries, right mouse buttons fires/drops secondaries)

[@farmcat9873]

The most expensive planes in the game are the Spitfire F Mk.1 IX c and the AU-1 Corsair these 2 out monetize the P-59A but the P-59A has been quite high and the same with Bongs P38 and that Russian low BR I-29 and that German Bf 109 E7/U2 they get pretty high up in price and usually more than the P-59A for some reason oddly enough. this plane does finally see planes that can beat it in speed but when it was at the lower BR it was pretty powerful ngl. I have pretty much been getting up-tiered in this jet more than I'd like but anything you pretty much play you just get up-tiered a majority of your games in WT.

I still stand by my thoughts that this thing has the old EE Canberra FM for it's ability to turnfight most things but is poor to gain speed or go vertically yet at least both are still known for their abilities to turnfight nearly everything. Speaking of the Canberra bomber the US model B-57B is getting it's 20 mm armament so that might get your attention in the new update possibly.

[@rainsilent]

The P-59 was based on a prop design. Its FM is about 90% genuine and not a copy of the Canberras. In testing it could beat every prop the USAAC/F had in service in a dogfight.

[@farmcat9873]

You definitely get out-climbed by the enemy at the start of the matches in the P59a the thing climbs like it has a lump of shit stuck in its exhaust pipe blocking it. But I remember doing the marks of distinction for this thing back damn been like 5 years or 6 somewhere around there.

The French Seafire is the exact same as the British one. It is over BRed because of performance alone. It is worse in virtually every metric to the 4.3 F.IX.

I got this plane in suitcase. Seems like hot garbage now. You can't outrun anything that isn't a japanese or maybe russian plane. The weapons are also mediocre with 3x .50 cal, you rely on getting a lucky 37mm hit for kills. Yeah you can 1v1 almost anything in a turnfight except you are then easy food for anyone since the acceleration and climb rate are inexistant. I'd rather fly a zero or a corsair. The corsair can actually outrun anything to get out of danger and is a much better energy fighter with decent armament (6x .50cal) while the zero is a much better dogfighter that doesnt bleed all its energy and climb very well. + 2x20mm hit hard. The p-59 isn't good enough to carry US teams as it relies on getting those 1v1 engagements without getting disturbed. but if you do that, your entire team is dead within 5min.

It’s usable

[@certaindeath7776]

yeah, me 262 is the worst fighter at 7.0 in my eyes. wouldnt call it unusable. its just not completely competitive. i think me 262 is somehwat decent in low speed acceleration, so there might be some tactics, that might work well, but i never played it a lot. it should be better in spiral climb then other jets on its BR i guess. maybe you play it a bit like a mig 15bis?

[@maximilianmustermann1278]

@@certaindeath7776 its guns are just horrible. just as its acceleration, climb and turn. it should be at least 6.7.

[@rainsilent]

@@maximilianmustermann1278 262 shouldn't be 6.7 for the same reason the 162 shouldn't be 6.0. Neither can be touched by a prop if a good player is flying it and both can dominate said lobby as a result. Yes, the 262 suffers against jets but that issue is mostly down to the massive BR compression going on in jets. It really is the better of two evils to just leave the 262 at 7.0.

[@rainsilent]

@@certaindeath7776 The 262 has very poor low speed accel relative to other jets. Spiral climbing is suicidal against any jet as a result. Against most every jet the 262 has no performance advantage. The few it does have a performance advantage over it is just level flight speed.

Is the P59 unfair?

[@normallymute0131]

Not really, as someone who owns one and regularly tries to fight them whenever possible: It has a certain playstyle and you can definitely manhandle it into playing the way you want. It is fast and it can turn, but it can’t do both at the same time. Below 400km/h it turns like a Japanese prop, above 400km/h it operates much the same as many early jets and heavy fighters. The best way to fight it is to either force a head on or drain the hell out of its energy. Because of those wings and those very early jet engines, it burns energy fast and does not recover it nearly as easily.

[@J4ckmaestro]

"as someone who owns one" opinion immediately regected, this thing is clearly over powered at 5.3, it's a literally jet plus it turns better than almost anything it faces while still produces amazing amounts of energy@@normallymute0131

[@BARelement]

@@normallymute0131If it’s slow you’re likely getting out turned, or stall shot. Because it doesn’t stall out. It’s not “not really” it’s blatantly unfair. Should be 7.0 where it’s as meant to fight “jets”.

[@normallymute0131]

@@J4ckmaestro damn alright dude. I offered insight on how to fight it based on experience using it and thus have more intricate knowledge on it and you spat in my face. Be better. Learn more.

[@normallymute0131]

@@BARelement at 6.3 you get outrun by turbo props and outturned by them too. At 7.0 the cruising speed for most jets is 600-700. The acceleration and climb for that BR begins to increase significantly outpacing it in position and power. If you are above it, and you will be above it, you do not commit to any sort of dogfight. Either zoom straight up and away from it or extend in the opposite direction of it to cause it to burn energy in a turn.

1:32 DEFYN completely switches voice tone on that "Fast", and it's weird. And the airacomet is a pesky one to deal with, but not as mind numbing as dealing with a BI.
