Depending on nation, the best you get are 50kg bombs. “Just play another nation!”, sure thing. Just let me as relatively new player casually level a new nation for this ‘challenge’ in the next couple of days.
Similar to a lot of quests and numbers, this challenge IMHO shows that GJN puts zero thought into this stuff whatsoever. Especially when the go to just seems to be “throw 100kg bombs on top of low tier German open topped vehicles.”
This challenge is the singularly most miserable thing I’ve encountered in War Thunder so far, and it’s not even close.
In every other game Battle Pass tends to be “easy” as it exists to incentivizes people to play. In War Thunder some tasks and co are just incredibly time consuming and obnoxious.
I’ve not had any issue with any of the other challenges so far. But this one is just, obnoxious in so many ways. Because you are forced to jump through so many hoops, and some nation only get 50kg bombs. Could’ve set it to 125kg but no, it had to be 50kg. Because they seem to presume new players don’t exist and everyone has every tree unlocked.
I agree. If I spend money on this game, my time shouldn’t be made harder. The Battlepass should only include things that can be done in a relatively easy time frame and with any nation in any mode.
If you pay to play, you should not be inconvenienced. That’s bad marketing.
It also doesn’t help that these last two Battlepass Seasons have been horrible.
Im using what a call the most fun USSR line up for ground
KV-220
ASU-85
M53/59
And IL-10 with 2 103.5kg bombs
So my gameplay is KV-220 then try capture zone or try get at least 2 kills then after it spawn for IL-10 with 2 bombs is 464 something like that and then just pick a target and do dive drop bombs and pray to all religions you kill
My man, I don’t have the Japanese stuff. Not everyone is playing this game for 10+ years. Several countries DO NOT have 100kg bombs. They get 50kg at most. Which need to be point blank hits even on open topped vehicles.
btw, i started playing in 2021, i grinded japan because it was an interesting nation.
its weird some nations only have 50kg, but i think you could spam them on one target and it might kill it?
Best part to me remains how you cannot complete air challenges in all air modes.
“Destroy 100 ground vehicles with a plane.”
Possible to do: Air arcade, air realistic.
Air sim? nope. You don’t get to progress the battlepass even if you thought to buy it.
A lot of this BP’s challenges seem to pointedly prevent their completion in air sim.
While I’m sure an A10 with targetting pods, glide bombs and AGMs can trivialize such tasks as “destroy 100 ground targets” - doing the same with a WW2 aircraft with sim controls and views ought pose sufficient challenge and time-to-complete even in small lobbies.
they can string you along to play for way longer than you intended to because youre desperate to finish the battle pass you paid for. that way they get more play time out of each player when they give shitty challenges.
Heavy tanks can be destroyed with 50kg bombs.
So, of course, it’s best to choose less protected targets such as flak and tank destroyers…
You need to drop your bombs in pairs of 2 or 4.
To use your bombs in pairs, read this tutorial:
It’s still a challenge, and there’s no question of it being too easy… and there are even more difficult challenges to come…
It’s not even difficult. Heck, worst case scenario, just take a bomber and kill SPAA from outside their range. Will take, maybe 10 games at most, and that’s mixed in with your normal GRB gameplay.
