oh ffs really gaijin? two field guns are worth a whole base. this is just pathetic
Do you have the possibility to test if the base bomb reward multiplier affects the ticket bleed amount? (It shouldn’t in my opinion but now i’m curious)

Nice to hear :) Thank you so much for testing things for everyone here! ^^

It’s air SB not air RB, but B-25j/P-61s/those random Me 2/4s in ASB are a bloody terrifying menace that people fly low into capture points and spray gunfire at unsuspecting people (I can’t see under myself) and kill them.
Worst part about the Me2s/4s is not all of them got tail guns and you cannot recognize which one does and which doesn’t without markers, so you go in, saddle up on their six and wait until they fill your gunsight for a guaranteed kill and… pop! goes your head from their tail gunner. Maybe you’d try side aspect approaches, but then it’s one of the more nimble twin-engine jerry planes that will weave and dodge and your difficult high-aspect shot misses so you saddle up and get the gunkill. It’s very inconsistent which is risky and which is not, making it easy to get baited.
I mean, if you play a bomber with that intent some of them can be used that way in some game modes.
Admittedly this is Arcade mode, but still ^^ T18B (57) goes bonk! :
Especially last part. Using premium FIGHTER / INTERCEPTOR TO BASE BOMB should count as deliberate actions leading to lose. Imagine J7 on bomb load instead missiles, or mig 23 wasting missiles on basebomb… Oh wait it’s you, free xp pinata, you bomb even in EF , IRIAF, F15, etc etc,
Still you use meta planes on bombing.

the mods had to lock and purge this thread because everyone was pointing out who this guy is like on every single other of his threads so tread careful.

So. The whole thing ends up at HEAVY BOMBER IS DEAD 😭
Wow, I wonder why people pointed this out…
But least I pointed out also why those things should be counted on deliberate actions.
And him trying to say something about non meta plane used as bomber…

Two things:
-
The T-18B with the 57 mm cannon is not a bomber - it was developed specifically as ground attack aircraft as a derivate from the actual bomber, the Saab B-18B. In addition the maximum bomb load is 400 kg - at the BR of 4.3 in Air RB - a joke.
-
So the factually wrong classification by gaijin as bomber leads to the fact that this strike aircraft gets a medium alt bomber spawn and can be used quite effectively as bomber-hunter - despite it was never foreseen for such a role.
I mean if you closely enough you see a lot of other nonsense:
- The UK 4.0 Brigand - no bomber; it has not even a bomb sight.
- Or even better: The USSR premium A-20 G-30 at 3.7. This aircraft has no bombardier, a solid nose and no bomb sight for horizontal bomb drops. But gaijin has implemented a bomb sight for horizontal bomb runs…
Edit: Grammar…

Again, i respect your personal opinion - but as long as there is zero evidence that “passive” game play is punished by gaijin with temp or perma bans it is pointless to argue about that.
Iirc GMs are not in charge for anything else outside chat violations - if this has changed it would be great if you could clarify this. Thx in advance!
Btw: The ticket drop after bombing bases has a delay of a few seconds. At prop BRs i have noticed that the ticket drop varies between 180 - 300 tickets - depending on BRs and also if the bases got killed 2 or even 3 times; for me it looks like that the ticket drop gets smaller.
You can test it even in running matches: Try to keep some bombers like Bv 238s alive. 2 or 3 of them can (if flown by experienced players) inflict significant ticket drops. But this happens just every few hundred matches as masses of Wyverns, XP-50s, B7A2s & Thai/US/French SB2Ss swarm any bomber…
theres a few other quite bad designations of aircraft in game
Harrier GR1, GR3, GR7 and T10 are counted as naval aircraft despite not being sea harriers. (yes there were aircraft carrier deployed GR3s in the falklands and the RN had harrier 2 as weel but they weren’t specific sea variants)

I think not, gameplay which I would call “passive” is:
- sitting on the runway;
- avoiding the fight, climbing to the space and go afk for example;
- not helping teammates, when you have a clear chance to attack the threat;
Although in some cases I would consider base bombers “passives”: - when people J-out or go suicide after successful strike (or unsuccessful, after all bases have already been destroyed by teammates) instead of chasing the enemy planes, destroying ground targets or returning to the airfield for reloading.
Look at the premium 190 A-5/U14 - classified as torpedobomber - but no air spawn. Or the XF5F - even described as interceptor on wt wiki but gaijin refuses to add an air spawn :-)
ok that one i can understand as nobody is gonna be using that as a torpedo bomber, that would be to get a FW190 with an air spawn to hunt bombers for free premium SL. its 4.0 so the bombers arent gonna be able to put up much of a fight against that either
There are a lot of guys using a designated torpedo bomber (US premium BTD) as bomber hunter…
