So I was thinking of challenging myself in order to find and possibly play the 10 worst planes in WOWP

It would be an immense and heroic challenge to achieve decent results in flying toilets.

 

What are the most stat destroying, dull and simply horrible planes of each tier.

 

We really need appartclassic to play these planes in order to give us a chance, or as i like to call him TogetherModern

 

I’m interested to see what would top the list and would seek advice from the more experienced and refined players in locating the top 10 or rather bottom 10 of warplanes

 

So,  in my limited experience 

 

1 Tier 1 is difficult but I’m thinking the Boeing P12 but remove bombs and use 50% pilot

 

2 That Chinese premium it looks so bad on paper, I'm intrigued. Maybe specialise it and put the wrong equipment.

 

3 Skua to even describe its awfulness would be giving unworthy credit to this flying turd catapult. Hats off to anyone capable of badarsery in this Heath-Robinson contraption

 

4That BF110C6 again a plane that looks good on paper, but it is so utterly lacklustre due to the glacial rate of fire on the single cannon.

 

5 The Tomahawk P40 I’d rather have my finger nails pulled out than go near this icon of World War Pooh ever again..

 

6 The tier 6 German GAA can’t remember the name it was so horrible stock I was hoping for something that didn’t fly like it had been through the digestive system of a horse.

 

7 The JUc88A bomber..the horror, the horror never have I felt more rage fueled than  in this machine it truly stinks, no armour no accuracy but haey its really fast…shame about the 45 minute reload speed

 

8 The Seafang,is ediocre at best not only is it ugly, low res polygon last gen paint scheme it does nothing well except cost money which it is rather good at.

 

9.The Japanese tier 9 Ki fighter, this is such major let down, it couldn’t shoot a barn from the inside and is made from 1 atom thick space material.

10 I suppose would be the Gutless,  pity because it looks cool

 

So what is the absolute worst of the worst?

The planes, that bring me pain, when I played them:

1 - all of them

2 - Tsh-2

3 - Skua

4 - Ki-43-lc (china)

5 - Ki-45

6 - BF 109 F

7 - P-47N

8 - BV P.210

9 &10 - Ki 162's

 

Tiers 1-10 ugliest planes:

1 - Boeing P-12

2 - AO-192

3 - Type 224

4 - Fw-189

5 - AD 10C2

6 - XP-55

7 - F7F

8 - IL-20 and Pancake

9 - XF-85

10 - J7W3

Of course, there are whole ugly lines, like all J7W's, Ki-162's, Corsairs and US heavies (t. 5-8)

 

[Mehrunnes]

Skua

Fw 189 C

Ao 192 Kurier

Blenheim F (without 20 mm autocannons, but even with them...)

american P51 line - the higher tier, the bigger pain

B-17D

B-17G

IL-2

Bf 109 B

russian Yak multirole line with their trollcannon

uhm, the Junkers Ju 288a on paper seems horrible, but believe me, it's a beast. Fast, deadly. It's a high altitude bomber, 3000m is the perfect altitude for bombing with this plane and you can go to 4000m and above, those engines are powerful! Against tier 6 and 7 no story, you can escape easily, against tier 8  only a few heavy fighters (me 262) can kill you at 3500/4500m (!). I love the Ju 288a, it's overpowered at t7. After I tried the JU 288a speed, all tier 3/7 bombers are boring!!!!

 

and

 

BF110 C6 - another beast. You have to specialize it with the right equipment and then you will see the power of this HF!

 

then

 

Pancake??? Pancake was a beast months ago, then devs quietly nerfed it, but even now it's a beast if specialized.

 

and

 

Bf 109 B? BF 109 B IS THE PLANE at tier 4 and 5.

Certainly better than its german counterparts.

 

Also, I kind of like the skua…

[demostene]

Ao 192 Kurier is a good plane too

[Mehrunnes]

@Sidus_Preclarum

Ao 192 - because it's HF and because of that it should not engage in close-call combat, but gun range is 440 m, so you have to be really close to enemy planes. Also unable to climb high enough to counter any player in t3 bomber, when he decide to cruise at 2400-2500.

 

BF 109 B - was really good, but in previous meta. Now sorry, it's not designed to dogfight, and today everything is about dogfight. Yeah, it's still a good bomber/heavy hunter, but you can't engage in a knife fight with Spitfires, Polikarpovs and Mitsubishis. And players in those planes, and with brain, will not engage BF 109 B in high altidude fight.

 

IL-2 - sure, it's better compared to german GAA, overall soviet GAA are just better in ground & pound. But if I remeber correctly, absoluetly everyone hunt me down in IL-2, because lack of rear turret is just an invitation to sit at my tail and dish those dmg like crazy. Sometimes bomb trap solves problem, but when bombs are on cooldown, then well, you are just a pinata.

 

Of course, this is very subjective point of view. Maybe for other people those planes are just fine.

[demostene]

BF 109 B, ugly plane! I can eat tier 5 Spitfire I at breakfast! Slurp!

XF5U's name is Flapjack, but for unknown reasons WG swapped the names with Vought V-173. I hate it since it was overpowered. At this time I was grinding in ME 262 and pancakes were smashing me all the time without a chance. I also pointed it is one of the ugliest planes.

440 not "close" at those tiers, it's way more than distance enough for those 4 Mgs to chew any fighter/multi/tierI and II Pegasus

What you mean is "it should not engage in maneuvering combat" and, good, it doesn't have to.

For the second point : how many times to you have a tier III game with a human Blenheim in it ? And if you have, you still have plenty of other planes to molest to make a way bigger impact on the game.

That 224 is really ugly those "spats" that cover the wheels are just nasty.

But nothing beats the seafang they should have had only 1 tech tree Spit and instead of the sealame had the seafire instead.
