    Please forgive the minorly squelched audio in a few places - just rebuilt my comp and am still tweaking audio/mic settings, but wanted to get this out to you quickly and didn't notice any issues until it was already uploaded.

      @@tomatoflight The vast majority of tech trees could use the T-33, so it's a solid option for introduction to the game. The T-33 would help fill out the early jet brackets for Japan for example.

    This thing isn't really great, but it counters the JU288s so hard and that's all I need to love it.
    (Also it being added as a jet with awful main armaments is clearly foreshadowing the addition of the l-29 dolphin alongside Czechoslovakia)

    @dadrithracrish2177 4 місяці тому

    I honestly recently got it by buying my way to it because it flies incredibly easily and comfortably and I wanted more CAS options and a tiny little aircraft with a few decent bombs or a fair load of rockets works pretty good for me I’ve actually been taking it to 11.3 with decent results not that it survives after a second pass but it’s usually out of armament by then as I use bombs with rock secondary up there so it’s been well worth it in my eyes it’s pass ends tomorrow so if ya want it better hurry
