I see it wasn’t enough that the Spitfire was massively OP against the German fighters, now they’ve made it OP against the bomber as well… Yes you can chase it off if you jump in the gunners seat IMMEDIATELY. But if not the Spitfire chews you up as quickly as it does fighters. And some people are about seat swapping!? ---

Sorry, but I’m afraid no one will feel sorry for pilots. You guys seem to go 29-2 no matter what… so why should anyone care about Pilot-whining? ---

I don’t expect it… I don’t even fly all that often. I’m just so sick of the complete imbalance of this $70 beta. ---

There was no any changes in Spits dps in patch as far as i know. And btw, ger fighters could one shoot Spits with rockets, so i doubt about idea that spit is OP. Also those rockets one shoots AA from long distance, in that case Spit can not same dmg from save distance. ---

In fact… this is someone from right here on these very forums (name has been cropped out) And he was so annoying in the BF 1 “What is your K/D” threads I finally had to put him on ignore. Notice how his K/D is over 300… think anyone is feeling sorry for poor-old pilots? ![Forum-k-d-pilot.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/a/f/af2d0bbf241cc89565d884e6ec9feb433dc523fc.jpeg) === I hope he self-identifies, then it won’t be name and shame.

The majority of pilots in BF have a KDR and especially KPM which is much lower than similar infantry players. The few pilots who do well are taking up too much space in the debate and people seem to think all pilots can do the same. This is not the case. The Spitfire is still unbalanced compared to the ME109, but so are the German bombers compared to the British and the JU88 is still Op if no spitfires in the air. ---

I’d rather they melted me with their guns than crash in to me and then fly off without a penalty and a cheap kill. Sorry to derail - just venting really after running in to a few of these players. ---

Only reason people about seat swapping is how the plane just floats mid air making the attacker easily overshoot the plane, broken physics. The plane should retain more momentum and take quite a while before it stalls when switching seats. ---

> [@fakemon64](#): > > Fighters: allies > > Bombers: axis I beg to differ. . Axis has the Stuka with 20mm. Able to kill fighters in 4 shots. Able to kill bombers with full flak in 6. Not sure how that’s not super strong, especially since it shoots 2 shots/second. . Allies have the spitfire, but it can’t take down a bomber in the same amount of time as a 20mm stuka. Allies also have their bombers with HMG underbarrels. And to make them better, there’s 2 of them under there. They do get 8x50kg, which is less, but they have significantly more defensive capabilities over the Axis bombers. ---

I wish bombers could reduce speed again like in BF1 … was best way to get those fighters of your tail. Now I seat switch to do the same 😃 ---

But the axis ju88 gets more gunners by default and has access to a larger payload so imo it still better than allied bomber. So id still say axis bombers reign supreme. ---

You guys seem to go 29-2 no matter what… so why should anyone care about Pilot-whining? because its pilot vs pilot and not pilot vs infantry? maybe get that stick out of your ? maybe do a better job on the ground of utilizing the AA weaponry you have? maybe stop being a whiny pleb about how much you hate planes when you do nothing to stop them? so sick of people whining about pilots when they dont even fly themselves. ---
