World Of Warplanes: Early Statistics For The Martin-Baker MB.5
Patch 2.1.24 has dropped (October 2023) and brings with it provision for a new reward aircraft, the tier 7 British light fighter, the Martin-Barker MB.5. The aircraft is not available in the game currently, but we know many of its characteristics. I discuss those and offer my opinion as to how this plane is likely to be flown.

Outstanding technical intel, Q. I know it's not a game changer, but I'm more into collecting trophy planes. So, yes, I agree, a good anniversary reward plane. Good vid!

Thank you. I'm glad that you'll be picking up an MB5 with a pretty good idea of what to expect, in that case. :)
Welcome back Q! Another great video

That's kind of you to say so! :)
Thank you Q. Another thoughtful analysis of a new a/c. Absent a significant 'buff' betwixt now and its actual release, I suspect that I will not be the only one to watch the event from the sidelines. Bye-the-bye, it is good to have you back. I was wondering (even fretting ... just a touch) at your recent absence. I hope it was in order to take a well deserved vacation!

I wish! I'm afraid it's pressure of work, which means I have less time to produce content. I'll have to win the lottery so I can retire!
Thanks Q

You're welcome, I hope it's been useful to you.
A tier 7 light fighter... nobody'd have guess that in 2023.. One starts to wonder: Are WG purposefully trying to buff the P-61? Personally I've yet to find time to even specialize my Me.109 K-6, Re.2005 and P-51D(J) reward aircraft... and several premiums yet, so I'm not exactly bouncing on my feet for this.

You're not likely to be alone in your view, I suspect. I think I'm still at the stage of liking the fact that this is another plane that won't be overwhelmingly powerful, but at some point I suppose the tedium of grinding through missions for fairly ordinary planes is going to be too much for many experienced players.

@@TheNobleQ well it is a good thing generally. If there were two of these in the year. My problem is that I've had way too many grindy missions in this game and it's taking a toll on my interest in it. i.e. too much of a good thing can be/feel pretty bad. The game itself isn't that bad as to need constant marathons.

I agree with that. I think the WoWp team needs to come up with some new ideas. The bi-monthly reward planes as an approach to new content has palled for me.
Wargaming should add British bombers

Unfortunately, I disagree. In my opinion, before they consider that they need to fix the overpowered bombers - B-29C, EF 131, Su-10 - and also greatly reduce the number of bombers that can appear in a team. Personally, I'd like it to be limited to one human bomber per team, always matched by a human bomber of the same tier in the opposing team and bombers disallowed from participating in flights. It's my view that, at high tiers, bombers have ruined the balance of the game, killed variety and rendered many planes irrelevant. As things stand, I don't think there's any room for more bombers in the game. I believe some years ago the WoWp team was working on finishing the American line of bombers. If any are to be introduced, I think it would most likely be those, not British bombers.
