  • You've heard about it in the forums, on the wiki, and in chat - But is the Ju 288 C any good? And, if so, is it worth it? I go over ALL of that and more - and in less than 9 minutes. That said, I hope you like gunship gameplay and wrecking bases, because that's what this plane is all about.

    For an update - Even though the Ju-288C is 6.0BR now, whereas it was 5.7BR when I made this review, it is still about 95%, if not 100%, as good as it was for its BR as when I made this video.

      @@IslamicWarlord Check out long5hot and learn to apply the tactics at low tier(2.7 and below) arcade. When you're ready, checkout AdamTheEnginerd and Green Fury for RB. Every plane flies differently, there's no way to give you advice for any one plane, and you also need to learn other planes' strengths and weaknesses as soon as you are comfortable. It's arguably more knowledge focused compared to ground forces.

  • @RhaegarDefense
    @RhaegarDefense 3 роки тому +15

    Answer: Yes. Why?
    - Great speed
    - Climb first, not too much, preserve your speed. Go to bases at the same altitude you started on. Then, once you're done bombing, DIVE. Slowly dive and remain at the constant 610 and you outrun nearly everything.
    - VERY good for grinding the german tech trees. In 1 month of 2 matches of simulator battles on ruhr or Sicily and bombing hangers or tents or any of the critical on airfields about 10 times will give you at least 40k rp per match, I think.
    - VERY good for silver lion grinding. All things stated above make it quick and easy to grind SL.

    When fighting against this plane, i noticed that in small lobbies (~6-8 players) this plane is basically a win condition for the enemy team, you see it so often, and when 1/3rd your team is on this plane you basically lost, just in the last 6 player match were 4 288Cs, it didn't end well for them

  • @wickedwilliwonka

    Almost two years later, and the entire 6.0 BR range is still doing donuts inside the septic tank. I'm not mad about it. It is, what it is, but what makes me sad that it's no more enjoyable to fly all these great prop fighters (such as P-51H, F4U-4B, 109 K4, or P-38K, just to name a few). You'll almost always end up in matches that either are over after 4-5 minutes, or last for 25 minutes because some Ju 288 douches decide to fly circles above their airfield. My only advice to any player is to just skip that BR and stay away from it. This is what I did for the last 2 years.

  • @Lord.Kiltridge

    Repair costs 9,330 SL. I look for premiums that have a low repair cost relative to contemporary vehicles. The Prinz Eugen for example is 2440 compared to the Hipper which is 21,744 half stock. Or the Mukuma at 3,400 vs the Mogami at 21,200 stock. It's very difficult to do an apples to apples comparison in aircraft and armour, but the Wyvern is 2,600 and by far my number one go to attacker. And the Il-2 'Avenger', my #2 is 1,900.

      @Tankenstein  2 роки тому +1

      I'd say so, yes, but it opens the door for the Do-335 B-2 to be competitive with it in terms of SL and RP production. I would say to get the Do-335 B-2 if you're more into CAS, but otherwise, the Ju-288C is going to be better for RP and SL.

      @warthundera1010 Рік тому

      @@charlee2470 ello, i believe it makes 9000 per base, and you can always get a base with the JU288, whereas getting a kill in a premium fighter can be difficult. if you bomb and RTB you get around 12k SL confirmed in around 6 minutes which is pretty good. fighters such as F4U Corsair and XP50 etc can make upwards of 25-30k per match but thats dependent on luck. With premium times thats doubled so 24k SL for Ju 288 and 50k or more in a good game in fighter.
