Ahh hell yeahhhhh
There's a premium Do 335B. A heavy fighter with 3x30mm (103) + 2x20mm(151) + 2x250kg and 1x500kg bomb load @ BR 5.7. Just based on the stats chart this thing looks as close to pay to win as War Thunders premium vehicle get. I expect it to be a headon-killer, decent fighter and excellent ground mower. It also fills the gap of germanies fighters with a decent bomb-load.
I expect it to be one of the best german planes for Squadron arcade battles. It'll be an excellent fighter/bomber plane. If the 103s can be used efficiently to hunt down ground targets in SAEs it might even be the best.
That put aside I'm disappointed by the Ta 152C stat-chart. The spaded climb rate is just pathetic. I've expected something that's at least on par with the Fw Doras it was supposed to succeed.
Anyway I'll probably first grind the Ta and the Dora with the bombs before I move on to grind the new T44 for my russian lineup.
This post needed a link to the 1.57 release notes. I am here just now because I can't play yet, as 1.57 is still loading & setting up.

havent been able to try it out yet..... had big problems whit my connection these days.. also one reason why i not been on teamspeak...
Gonna try to download the patch tonight and start grind for more british tanks now!
I've got the Ta 152C unlocked and I've flown it a bit during today's squadron arcade battles and two normal battles afterwards. Aiming is a bit odd in this bird, as the lead indicator seems be adjusted for the 103 mm motorcannon, while one probably rather wants to hit with the 4x20mm in the wings. The stock-syndrome is bearable on this one (for german standards at least). In stock shape it's not good at climbing, but its energy retention is great and as all the dakka is unlocked right from the start it's excellent at headons. The roll-rate of this plane is incredible - probably the fastest ingame (not sure if the He 162 is any better at this). Elevator and rudder are rather weak though. It feels more sluggish and struggles far more at following a targets movement than the Fw 190 Ds and even the Ta 152 H do. Also turns bleed more energy than in Fw Ds and the Ta, though this might very well be a problem caused by the stock syndrome.
I'm looking to see how the Ta 152C performs once it's spaded. I expect it to be one of the best BnZ planes with very limited dog-fighting capabilities.
Anyone tested out the Do335?
