why? I've had more collisions with them than actually getting shot down. And alot of people don't know how to get 8 minutes out of the thing much less hit with the cannons.

Ta152 needs updated in my opinion... But the list above needs it sooner. I agree on upping the perk price of the 163.  :salute

your bad. most 163 pilots are not.

2-3 163s can single handedly wipe out an entire squadron of heavy bombers without much trouble. I've done it and seen it done and been on both sides of it in bomber and in 163.

whats worse is to actually have a fighting chance vs 1 or more 163s in abomber you have to climb to ungodly high altitudes of 30k+ so the 163 compresses if it tries to dive at high speed on you.

or you can take your chances at 20-25k where 163 has free use of vertical attacks and watch how fast your bombers explode because even if you kill one they up again and come back in under 3 minutes ussually with a wingman in a 163 even more determined to avenge their loss of a few perk points.

oh btw hope you already calibrated your bombsite because you wont get a chance to during the nonsotp 163 attacks that will continue till you leave the area or are dead.

but but it has short range and only available from one base it is costly perk price already you say?

the bomber attacking in the area of that one base spent an hour at least climbing to altitude and traveling to said area.

the 163 dweeb spends 3 minutes to get to same spot and same altitude for instant gratification and guns blazing.

really smart 163 also has 20 minute fuel endurance. I will not elaborate how because I want all 163s to burn in hell but the 163 in game well managed has 20 minutes endurance and over 150mile range.

Little stray from topic - but has there been any discussion about a Dornier DO 17?  I would love to have those around to shoot down.

Ta152 is an updated model already.  The P-51s, Bf109s and Spitfires should probably be the first of the already updated models to be redone as they are so frequently used.  Could add the A-36, P-51A, Bf109E-7, Bf109G-6/AS, Seafire Mk III and Spitfire Mk II at the same time.

Fester, I meant when I'm in bombers 163's collide into me
due to compression more often then actually shooting me down.

When I up a 163 god help those I attack. I freqently get 2 of the 3 bombers if not all 3.
There's nothing wrong with it's current price.


Also the fastest way to get name in the lights :banana:

I agree it's way too easy to wait until enemy is over strats and simply take an elevator to the 100th floor but it seems most have difficulty getting enough time out of one to make more than one pass before diving for home only to get vulched on landing.

If more people hunted them or brought proper escorts, you probably wouldn't see as many.

Any plane is prone to noobs, raising the perk price will make them more cautious and make them watch their speed.

I'd like to see it at 150.

I'll still fly it to tank town, though.

If you are going to update the 163 please add the gun package used in WWII that fired straight up as a 163 passed under a bomber. Thanks.

to my knowledge the only upward firing weapon the 163 had were 50mm rockets that fired when the bombers shadow passed over the plane.

And they were only experimentaly used a handfull of times.

Thanks Zach.

Facts are that it existed and it was used in battle in WWII.  It was not an experiment...unless you consider the 163 debatably as an experiment.  :old:

It was only used once during a test that brought down an Allied bomber (some reports say a B-17, others a Halifax).

Sounds like it saw more use than the P63.
