Hello, im here to talk about the B52 and strato bombers in general, starting off i need to say MAKE THE RADARS WORK. lower the b52 to 8.0 as it gets hammered every match by every player that thinks its fun to hunt bombers as well as if you want to argue the B52 would be alot more fun if it had more ground capabilities and ecm. give these planes the AGMS they deserve.
we all knew B52 isn’t going to be good when it was first announced, it’s just a cool vehicle to have. Nearly all bomber in war thunder is over-tiered unfortunately

Yeah B-52 and Tu-95 both fall into the fun but horrible to use in practice category. From what I heard this kind of falls in line with the likes the Mk IV from the WWI event. Cool but just impractical.

You dont really need to increase the BR but rather increase the air point they spawn in at.
Give it the Strategic Bomber Spawn at 30.000-40.000 Feet 9-10km and their success rate will go up.
They still wont be great but not every fighter will come up that high to take them out.
In a downtier to 7.7 it will be easy for them as 7.7 wont reach that height quickly if at all.
9.7 F104’s,lightnings and all those Fast interceptors will be your bane but at least you might make to the target.
not even fun unfortunately, just useless
If only these MAIN REWARDS for a 13 day event were actually finished and polished
For B-52…
no cockpit, tail radar doesn’t work (not even as a warning system), missing EFS for B-52 ( oh wait, “not a bug”), B-52’s gunner being essentially unusable while not using “from gunner view” or having a CCRP point active and lastly, B-52’s tail gun not spinning and warping.
For Tu-95 oh boy…
Clipping airframe, Clipping pilot, Clipping gunner and of course, no cockpit (it looks like very little but the 3d model is just straight up horrendous to look at while in flight.)
