napalm was used extensively as a lethal anti-personnel weapon against foot soldiers, primarily to flush them out of fortified or hidden positions where traditional high explosives were less effective
You missed the point by MILE
Name a bomber that does well without it being a super sonic jet or low tier bomber that has a chance to out gun enemy planes
Also what countries measures chaff and flare? Or maybe a vulcan that won’t shoot unless enemy is under 700 meters away
This is probably the more accurate statement
Canberra and B-57 are in a sweet spot where they do kinda well.
Buc S2 does quite well in anything but full uptiers.
Ju-288Cs seem to always do quite well
Yeah and if the enemy isn’t a blind dummy they will see you and immediately like a moth to a flame rush twords you, don’t get me wrong my first match with a B52 was GREAT multiple bases and i was the last one standing but only cuz nobody saw me and the only guy that followed me didn’t want to shoot me down.
Instead he just watched me fly around cuz he wanted to see the b52 up close
Should be bombers balanced in a way that the most effective strategy is boring everyone to death?
Sad truth is that current format of ARB simply does not support bombers (nor attackers) by Gaijins design. Until we get EC, bombers will remain a meme.
That’s a fair point but in a ARB bombers don’t have infinite amount of bombs so either they gotta land or get shot down wich results in death both ways.
Also to top it off if nobody goes for a bomber that’s the last player and up high, you can always hit ground targets they take away good amount of team points + at the end of the match you get more SL and RP
But if you don’t feel like doing either feel free to leave the match
That only works when late game ground sortie doesnt take just as long as intercepting the bomber in the first place. Ie. At higher BRs.
At 7.7/8.7, going to land, rearm your fighter with two bombs ans maybe some rockets and then going back to the middle of map simply takes too long for what the result is. Player needs to take MULTIPLE sorties to grind the tickets down sufficiently. And average ARB game simply isnt long enough for that.
As i said as soon as the bomber gameplay boils down to boring everyone to death, its bad gameplay loop.
Again if you don’t want to stay you can leave.
Also you’re telling me you don’t want extra RP and SL???
And you dont have to play bomber if you dont find the current gameplay fun.
See i can make stupid arguments too lol.
The 7.7/8.7 jets simply dont support this gameplay.
I find strategic bombers to be fun to play.
And for this, you brought up a point of people not wanting to play long matches, i gave you two easy solutions.
My point however is that Bomber play should be fixed the and here we discussed about solutions, ideas, and other point of views
How so? Is it really fun to be practice target to aim9b, aim7c, aa20nord, rb05a?
There are matches where you do well and it feels cool being in a big a*s bomber bombing from high alt.
And i can retort just as stupidly as you did to me.
Dont like how it is currently implemented, you dont need to play them.
Now you can either keep being smug idiot, or you can adress how current ARB doesnt support late game ground sorties at 7.7/8.7 either.
Guess you didnt face me spading f3h2 demon by sealclubbing those bombers. And then testing nords on them just for fun. I dont know if swearing and cursing me meant those people were having fun.
I don’t know if you’re confused but i never said that current gameplay supports them 😂, this whole forum post is about them not being supported in ARB.
Dude you sound so tuff 🥀💔
Your point was that instead of chasing bombers, planes can go for ground sorties.
I responsed that this doesnt work at 7.7/8.7 where it takes ages to rearm.
You then went “dont like it you can leave”.
I am now similiarly saying that if you dont like the fact current ARB doesnt support bombers, you ca leave as well. Nothing will change.
That’s a complete lie, at 8.7 you get jets that take like 5 minutes MAX to get high and fast
At 7.7/8.7 you either get fighter that has flight performance but next to no ground ordnance or attacker that has ordnace but doesnt have FM.
In either cases ground sorties at those BRs take ages.
We aren’t talking about 7.7, this post is about tu-95 and B-52 which are 8.3 and 8.7
Yo DON’T NEED bombs rockets and what not to kill howitzers on the map they are almost one tap to any plane that has a cannon
