Bomber Damage Model Rework

The updated Bomber DM is another topic I’d like to cover. Thank you for your feedback, reports, and constructive criticism. Based on this feedback (plus battle statistics, plus our own observations), we’ve put together a plan for DM improvements, which the team is currently working on. First and foremost, this involves improving ramming damage. After the rework, bombers now take relatively little damage, allowing them to easily survive fairly intense collisions with smaller aircraft. This change is already in testing and will be released soon.

Next comes the issue of the high-explosive fragmentation impact of 20-30mm shells on the aircraft’s skin. Fragments and explosions from these shells do not penetrate the skin reliably, reducing the damage to internal modules. This does not mean that after this fix, bombers will again begin to lose wing panels after a few hits from 20mm high-explosive shells, but components and assemblies located inside the wing and fuselage will suffer damage if the impact is close to these modules.

The next important aspect is improving fire mechanics. We plan to detail fire damage and make it more realistic. This includes aspects such as: fire spread, the area where the fire causes damage (for example, currently the visual fire effect on the wing can reach the tail assembly, but the tail assembly receives no damage as a result of this), the size of this area over time, the likelihood of a fire depending on the extent of damage to the fuel tank and the volume of remaining fuel, and the change in structural strength of components as they are exposed to fire (e.g., a prolonged fire near a spar reduces the load-bearing capacity and reduces the destructive overload for this component).

will other aircraft classes also be overhauled in the future? currently they are also very brittle like the bombers where.

Spot on, the SPAA is absurd, 2S6 everywhere and M163/ BMP being able to laser beam you out of the sky with insane accuracy is hurting the gameplay. All of the dumb bombs planes can carry and the AA being this tuned up is making them obsolete.

i cant fly 20km away from an airfield going forward without meeting spaa

sorry for out of topic

but naval coastall match capturing zone always guarantee win in short time
i think it a problem for most of frigatte and destroyer who have slow speed
by the time we reach the combat zone the match simply over
there is never happen in other mode
only in coastall
plss just fix ticket bleeding for coastall
how can we fight?

How about engage with the point I was making that the iTO is not crazy GOD Tier like people make it out to be vs the Kh31 especially at 13.7+, was not talking about CLEARING the WHOLE map of AA, the Clip is to show that the iTO can EASYILY be killed! I addressed the Ai aiming needs to be toned down guess you skipped that part?

[noister]

please read the message above it too btw

when going head to head against a singular ito, you can easily win

but thats simply not the case when going against like 3 of them at depots, or just randomly being targeted by one of the convoy ito while dogfighting as it was not spotted.

This is why ito is so freaking annoying, honestly it was even worse before since you could not even target it with russian ARMs earlier lmao, even if you did it had like 100% interception rate

[Morvran]

So the best ARM in-game can deal with them. Great.

What about everyone else?

[D4nger_CLO5E]

@noister

Too bad the matches already dont last longer than 20 to 30 mins, that that is indeed due to how bad AA network is implemented in game

Most of my games are not short games…maybe I’m lucky

[noister]

well that genuinely is shocking, most of my games end so fast due to ticket bleed it isnt even fun man.

[D4nger_CLO5E]

Last I checked the Blue side don’t fight the iTO…2S6 is even easier then that with just 88 C!

[Morvran]

Depends on the nation. Ive been on redfor as Britian plenty of times.

Its usually US vs Soviets/China and everyone else is kinda randomly placed.

Actually dogfighted another GR4 the other day in a GR4, so its not even 1 nation per team.

Also, tbh, nation with the best ARM should probably be fighting stronger SPAA. That actually sounds kinda a reasonable method of balancing it IF the MM was hard locked to 8 nations vs 2, but that would create some MM issues

hey @BVV_d can you fix the sl to rp ratio, its the same as ground rb and it has terrible rewards, this is with the SU30MKK and premium time, so even with premium the rewards are still lacking for 7 a2a kills, 90% activity and 15 ground targets destroyed, a majority of the rp (17k) came from the skill bonus for 5 or more kills

[noister]

i go in sl debt half of the time

before nuclear thunder became permanent the rewards were so ass that once my sl bal went down to like 1k lmao and i couldnt play the game anymore

[f111_a]

half my rp came from skill bonus and winning

[川普大帝]

Great news! I hope to see the bug of the missile’s premature explosion being fixed and the problem of the missile’s erratic maneuvers being resolved.

bombers will again begin to lose wing panels after a few hits from 20mm high-explosive shells, but components and assemblies located inside the wing and fuselage will suffer damage if the impact is close to these modules.

[f111_a]

tis a good time

[F16XLWT]

Bombers were paper for 10 years, goated for 10 days, and then paper again?

[noister]

overperforming* for 10 days

it needs to be balanced

[F16XLWT]

The pendulum will swing again, and bombers will be paper, Gaijjin always fumbles balancing things.
