fully agree that bomby maybe hit and maybe explode by a certain probability- my critics is that this happens now much too often (ai actively target bombs) - esp. in naval matches

I was going to try NAB and already took a couple of boats, but then the snail “improved” the aiming, and the latest patch also ruined shooting from behind islands. After reading the forum, I’d better not touch it until the situation changes. Some of my friends who used to actively play NAB either stopped or switched to NRB. And they don’t advise me to start.
In your world.
I never suggested that. I was making a point that it never is just 1 single 20mm or 30mm. And from my experience it takes alot of 50cal rounds and below before my tail gets critically damaged.
There is 1 aspect to the physics model that is entirely overblown and unrealistic and it’s for all aircraft including bombers. Form/parasite drag multipliers dependent on damage produced is far in excess to irl. Irl a bomber like a Lancaster or B-24 could lose 2-3 engines and aslong as you trim right even with bad damage to the fuselages you could still fly the airframe back to base with enough height and management of the engine.
Meanwhile ingame you get a yellow/red wing with 1 engine dead and suddely you have equivilant of parachutes attached to the wing at any speed.
For now the only issues seem to be drag coefficient multipliers being too high for most damage states and not enough segments for realistic damage shared across the body rather than the amount we see currently that seems to follow a similar number limitation to samage segments as a fighter does.
I don’t think any of these ranges should be a realistic engagement range for either bombers or fighters.
Flexible mounted guns are inherently more inaccurate than rigid mounted guns.
So fighters will generally out range bombers but bombers also take a lot more punishment,
which would make it difficult to deal lethal damage over range, considering accuracy and aiming errors.
Of course airplane damage is all over the place and makes no sense in the slightest.
Engaging bombers should either mean spending a lot of ammunition and time or risking being damaged and subsequently being an easy target for other fighters.
