Why does the Do 335 B-2 have such a low SL multiplier?

A few days ago I saw that the silver lion multiplier for the German Do 335 B-2 was a little small when compared to other German premium airplanes. Today, I started comparing the SL multiplier to other nations and I found out that no other premium aircraft of rank 4 has such a low SL multiplier.

 

I'll be using Realistic battles numbers and battle ratings here.

 

The aircraft has a base SL multiplier of 1.3. For comparison, the Ju 288 C (br 6.0) has a multiplier of 2.25, the US Spitfire Mk LF IXc (br 5.7) has a multiplier of 2.35, the US Bong's P-38 (4.3) has a multiplier of 2.25, the USSR premium Yak-3 (br 5.7) has a multiplier of 2.45 and the British Hornet Mk.1 (br 6.0) has a multiplier of 2.35.

 

The Do 335 B-2 is very powerful in GRB as a CAS airplane, but some of the other airplanes listed are excellent CAS planes, too. Moreover, the Do 335 B-2 doesn't do nearly as well in air battles as it does in ground battles. It can only effectively intercept bombers.

 

The SL multiplier should thus be lifted to the level of other premium rank 4 aircraft. For example, the new base multiplier could be 1.7-2.25. That would fix the difference in SL multiplier with this aircraft.

Because it's too good at making money, and apparently buying a premium vehicle and having premium account is still not enough to play the game without worrying about economics. Why have fun when all you should be thinking about is the grind? Welcome to the totally player-friendly economy in WT

To be honest, it really does not deserve this reward. The second you actually start engaging targets, you become one yourself and are easily out maneuvered by just about anything and everything. I've even hunted them down in A26c's fairly easily.

My problem with the D0-335 is it's nerfed speed. In arcade you cannot accelerate even diving, your speed is like capped at 600-630 km/h. Invisible air brakes deployed? When i bought it, it has a bomber sight and a cruise speed of 850-900 km/h in SIM! One of the worst nerfs of premium vehicles ever! Feel robbed by ...

Yeah. Even if it is very powerful, the same can be said about many other airplanes at this br. It isn't the only good CAS plane near it's br... for example, the F4U-4B's and the Wyvern S4 are excellent. (there are many good TT cas planes too)

 

It isn't so good that it should have its SL multiplier over 100% lower than other comparable premiums.

 

Premium vehicles and -time could be adjusted because they lalow much faster progression than F2P, but that's a completely different topic. For now, the SL multiplier should be lifted higher for the Do 335 B-2.
