More then 3 players but we found a good use for a April Fools aircraft :-)

I mean, naval itself may as well be an April fools thing with how little it’s mentioned, so it’s always fun to see it pop up in random places

Add options to drop gnss guided munitions like the flying bombs and the b-52 and tu-95 will have a chance in ground RB and air RB

and in GRB that would make it 10.0?

even if yes… get the ecm guided bombs like the new ones we have on f-16 and then the bombers would have a chance…

For this to be even somewhat balanceable, it would have to be limited to the amount it could carry, because were that to happen, it would undoubtedly move up in BR, but too many FNF bombs would require a vastly higher BR, at which neither bomber would survive due to SACLOS
only the new pantsir or other long range spaa like buk etc would be able to counter it or safeguard tanks from it’s bombs… Add ECM and you could fly close enough to the Bf to drop… risk it for more kills you can get killed… id rather see the b-52 at 11.0 with standoff munitions then at 8.3 with big bombs that don’t do damage unless you pinpoint drop it on the tank…
Just as bad as tigers eating 3476s and 75 shermans
As good as that sounds, I highly doubt Gaijin would give either ECM in the near future
Or that it would be enough to stop a SACLOS SAM.
Let alone CAP
Part of it is people intentionally playing 9.3 because of the huge amount of poeple playing these new bombers.
I agree though they should get a slightly lower rating. Been playing lightning most of yesterday and today and the fact that at least b52 can’t defend themselves just makes it an immediate death. All they can do is go upward to point their turret at you. Also not that it matters much but why do they have ecm in the event mode but not in standard matches??
Things are even worse in grb. Their spawn is easy to reach and they spawn at 2km altitude. And they are helpless like tell me what those guys were supposed to do lol?
Decrypting flight recorders lets us hear b52/tu95 pilots reaction to nord/sparrow coming to them:
Spoiler
How will these things perform in grb especially the tu-95m? I’m not air player and didn’t participate in the event and I probably gonna unlock it with eagles or buy it if its available on the marketplace, only because I saw it has a 9 ton bomb lol. I only have experience in pe-8 and lancaster that I last played probably 2-3 years ago.
Ever heard of game balance? These guys who rush to justify this crap with historical facts also forget that the bomber had escorts and wasn’t flying alone.
Honestly they should be GRB nuke carriers now that they’re in the game.
I don’t want to propose any specific br range for them, but they really should. They’ll only pick dust at being only event vehicles.
I simply can’t use the tail mingun on the B-52 for some reason. I’ve changed all the gunnery controls and nothing works. However, I can use the gunners perfectly fine on the TU-95M without any problems. Does anyone have a miracle solution?
Initially, I thought it was a bug since the aircraft could only be tested in “test flight,” but I see that’s not the case.
The under-BR’d jets.
when you have a CCRP target selected, either with the B52 targeting pod or via map the gunner will aim at it instead of where youre looking
disable sight stab when going into gunner view
also i made a bug report on the 2000lbs bombs being split into two parts instead of 1 continuous part preventing you to fully expend all bombs via ripple quantity at once.

it affects 750 and 2000 pound bombs on B52
