I just came back from a long break. This plane was a new one to me, and it totally dominates all games I have met it. It is fast, climbs as a rocket, turns good and got guns like the death star. It easy get 2x the score of the next best player on either team every time I seen it, no matter who plays it.

I guess it was given as a reward to players achieving something, so maybe only good players got it, whitch may explain why they manage totally owning the game with it. It still sort of remove the fun of playing for me and propably everybody else who dont own if its so good as it seems.

It's good but limited.  It manoeuvres like a cow and if opposed by a player in a decent heavy fighter it can struggle to make an impact.

The BV P.203 appeared in World of Warplanes as a part of the event in update 2.0.9.6. Players were able to get that aircraft by fulfilling missions of the Operation Order. In the future, this aircraft will become a premium plane available for direct purchase both in the Premium Shop and in-game.

In the morning I found this thread and inspired I did one battle before office.
This is one of my favorite planes and even if I am no top player I am always confident with the results.
I did about 50 battles in that Heavy and it has one of the highest Ø pers. points in my hangar.
From my view .... if you have no 203 ... get one!

It is a good plane but a big loser, inspite of hero of the sky award haven't won any games in it. So many useless turds at tier 8 that only dominant devastation in RB17 will win games if playing solo.

Sorry Sabbatex;

I can't confirm that!
The 203 is my most beloved Heavy in Tier XIII.
If it is fitted out for maneuvrability and with the right pilot it is not a cow anymore.
Check this:
I can show you the 203 without team and eqipment:

 

Here you see it with full equipment but without a team:
 

 

...and now my current configuration with very good skilled team:
 

Unfortunately I cannot show how many awards the plane got but you should try that out by yourself with a maxed version of the 203!

I concur with Klaus, it's a formidable plane. There are people bitter that they didn't get it for free during the event and had to spend money to buy one afterwards - but it's money well-spent. On one side you have the hybrid engines, which give this bird insane altitude performance. On the other side you have very potent, long range German blapping technology that really puts the 'ooomph' into 'Zerstörer' term. They are especially nice if you're one of the people who hate bombers and want to make their life miserable. Last but not least, on the rear side (pun intended, and I refrain from phrasing it more explicitly, have to keep in mind that this forum is PEGI7 - true fact) you also have a nasty sting that, when operated by a skilled reargunner, is amazingly effective. Takes a while to get used to this combo, but once you do, this plane can do wonderful things. Oh, and surprise surprise - for a piece of German engineering it's a really good looking machine, sleek, slender, stylish.

 

As per usual, I found a screenie to prove my point - one of the better battles in this plane, but truth be told most battles in this are good ones:

I didn't go for it back then because I planned to get the XP-58 with 50% discount ... more firepower, more maneuverability.

 

The mission/ops-order for it looked pretty intimidating too, if I remember correctly.

But the cow is a nice cow.

 

The first game with this plane (and the only one for the moment I run out of silver to finish to equip it)
