To
begin with, ive been flying the me 163 for the past 5 days without caring for repair cost, now i run with a squad(CY6) all the time and i want to share my opinions on this plane; the acceleration is good,but the speed retention isnt, this plane in real life was cleared for 70 degree climbs(THAT IS ALMOST STRAIGHT UP!!!) this plane bleeds more speed then a fw190 in a 20 degree climb, and i can only climb 70 degres probably for a few second before losing to much speed.Also this thing has plastic wings u cannot turn at a speed of higher than 750kph.Also hit detection is bad with this planeand a lot of planes with 30mm cannons or higher , since this plane only has 120 rounds total; 60rpg so i try to conserve ammo(btw i only play historical) i see many of my shots spark and sh*t blows off but it doesnt register and it isnt my connection at least i dont believe it is. Now u r probably asking whats my problem with this plane here it is; the Freaking climbrate is supposed to be 160m/s, but it is only 37ms and why the hell does the ki 200 have 47 ms doesnt make sense since japs couldnt even get it to fly and actually survive. this defeats the purpose of flying this plane lets see; low ammo,bad Climb retention, low fuel, highest repair cost along with mig 15(which is bette in almost evey regard), plastic wings, and forgot to mention a few shots into this plane with any gun can throw it on fire cas of c-stauff and t-stauff fuel mixture. the thing is i love this plane to death its addicting to fly. it gives me an such a rush cas i gotta play strategically and watch fuel, ammo, speed, and all that stuff. Another thing i forgot to mention it is now useless in arcade because of fuel limitation as of patch 1.29 way to go gajin ruin a fun plane by changing a whole game its arcade 4 god sakes. also since patch 1.29 the physics update destroys landing but heres a tip 4 tat since im nice in arcade come in with no fuel, in historical deploy gear at high speed(anything about 500kph) let tail wheel rip of and land on the skid at about 200kph wings will not epxlode and u will come to a staright stopm also no repair cost for lose of the tail wheel so if u spawn in by mistake land like this and ur good, also it keeps ur repair itme at about 20 secs with decent crew instead of a 1:30 wen u rip both wings. another problem is the physics update made it harder for me 163 to lift its nose?!?!!? cas its caring a "full tank" i dont understand russians logic, they basically crippled this plane no wonder no one flies it anymore.
What should be done-
there are many things gajin can do to fix this plane
1. real climbrate-increase tier to 19 (we can all dream and this is wat id prefer.)
2.more fuel(not historical i dont want more fuel)
3.introduce me 263 or me 163d it has landing gear and 12 minutes of fuel this way they stay historicalish besides climbrate(again would be same problem as me 163 defeats purpose of rocket plane)
4.Just freaking do #1 gajin
COnclusion-
i do not know what gajin is going for historcial accuracy or balance cas it seems like they pick and chose wat they want, honestly the simple fact is some planes were better than others in the war and thats how it should in WT. the Me 163 should be fixed atm i love it but its not worth it(btw im broke as sh*t but im actually good with it i have won 14 out of my last 15 games with it again with a squad.i believe that if it got its actual climb rate it would be able to acomplish a lot more in 6 mins and even fight migs and sabres and climb away from them as it should be able too. Even though there are new jets coming they are all protoypes of wind tunnel aircraft, but idc for those cas they arnt realy real and we dont have any actuall stats for such planes just windtunnel tests but if they cant f*cking get a me 163 which is a real plane right idk were this high tier german tree is headed.what i also love is how the meteor f4 outruns me in my komet in every situation, the f4 also seems to be outperforming almost all axis jets and its only tier 18 :(
