Could war thunder add the b-52 I understand that america has better options like the f15 and f111 but I think this would be cool to see as it could work as a middle ground between the b66 and f105
Gaijin has stated in one of their more recent QnAs that they have no intentions to add modern strategic bombers into the game. And if, they will appear in the form of event vehicles.
Dont get me wrong it would be very cool to see it in game, but with the way bombers are currently there is no way it would effectively be implemented. Especially at the BR you suggest as like most at the moment would be easy pickings and shot down very fast, at least at that br range.
first, it depends on the variant,… BR placements aren’t something you wanna play with without giving a full modification model.
second:
@mineLo said it all.
They’d be fun very niche in the current game. Which is a shame. We’ll have to wait and see if the Arial warfare gamemode that is semi-indevelopment offers a better home for them.
you must feel like a fool today ?
Welp, definitely didn’t think that they would add them this soon but in this case I am happy I was wrong
To be fair, he did say they would appear as event vehicles if anything, and that’s what happened.
Like it says. 1) Bombs are not detonated by bullets in RL. 2) Bombers were already crippled into unplayability to appease the endless whining of the fighter mafia. Now instead of being a plane they have been transformed into a party favor.
When a BF2C with a single 7.62 can pen the bomb bay doors of a BV238 and one shot it, any claim to realism is a farce.
Now with the long awaited B-52, it’s time for Gaijin to accept that the over the top nerfing to bombers was a mistake. This has been called out by the community for over three years, and reaffirmed with polls and posts that the majority wants bombers buffed. Only a vocal minority of fighter mafia goons who resort to the usual tactics of troll posting and gang smears do not want this, and attempt to gaslight everyone into believing their view is the majority. I fully expect the usual flurry of insults and harassment flagging to silence this post.
It’s time past due for Snail address its mistake and to quietly walk back the nerfs: unrealistically destructive engine fires, 20mm tail and fuselage shredding, worthless gunners, BR over tiering (B29 & TU4), spitball exploding ordinance et al, and make bombers playable again.

I know but this is more expanded
it is literally the same thing!!
Piano is correct here, devs wanted cool munition interception and took the opportunity to shit bombers over. By makin bombs still have a hitbox inside the bombay, and bombays aren’t armored so that leads to a 7.5mil Mac AP round explodin a B-25
It’s a dove tail of several previous posts regarding buffing bombers in general, having said that, I will change the title to appease Joeseph 🙄🫤
it been overdue for a long while, hell there was even a B-52 that took a HARM from a phantom up the ass and still landed at base
A very, very, very long time —> this references the old forum post
There’s nothing to “un-nerf”.
However, they already announced they’re working on bomber durability to improve durability.
Hopefully this means more damage model sections on aircraft, as that’ll allow for improved durability without going back to when bombers were undestroyable with reasonable ammunition use.
