Yeah, this "oh noes! i'm being shot! here goes my tail!" DM is bullshit. Even more bullshit is planes not immediately dying after losing their tail.
I mean today I got two free kills by shooting at tailless Catalinas with my 2 ShVAK Mig.
Also I don't mind most fighters being fragile now, mostly because it will make people more careful.
Excepted for the heavy fighters which die far too easily... meanwhile the IL2 is EVEN more invulnerable than in 1.37/39 and the Blenheims/Beauforts are made of imported stalinwood. And of course there's them ishaks and LaGG's who can ram people and not only survive, but survive without too much performance loss.
The biplanes also seem noticeably less fragile since 1.43 (I think) as well.
I also bought the Bf109 G-2 (I think the first G is the G2). Time to grind painfully to air targets and then to the 2 gunpods.
Also my tier III german lineup has messed up BR's.
in it I have an 190/A5, the first zerstörer Me410, the first Me410/U4, the first duck and a Bf109F4 (iirc).
Meanwhile I constantly see A8's, F8's, tier 4 planes all around, Bearcats, and I even got killed by a fucking TA152 once.
Also there are reserve planes and other biplanes in nearly every match I have in tier II russian. Lots of CR42's.
tl;dr BR is bullshit, bring back the pre 1.37 tier system
