Another premium bomber >:(

Any chance we’ll see the 293 on the 217s or 111s? There’s not really going to be a place for them to be useful on the 177, but on these lighter, lower-tier aircraft they could be fun albeit impractical for GRB.

You can get old event vehicles during the toolbox events. Next one should be around the middle of December. Last winter box events were on Dec 13th, 2023 and Dec 16th, 2022.

Oh neat random useless vehicles that are already ingame instead of adding new stuff.

RNG mechanics with the SL box, I got 4 vehicles with 38 M SL. Good but not really in favor for the Free and new players.

I was talking about the old system when with 3400 warbonds you can have a box with one vehicles like the P40-C, HE-51 B-2, etc. Simple but very efficient.

For naval the 288C is just better, good luck actually hitting a ship with all 3 missiles, and even if you can do, the warhead on them is like 500kg, they won’t do anything to the battleships and heavy cruisers you will see at the BR

I just hope this bomber is better than that flop called PBM-5A

Nope… That’s all… Last BP was also 2 vehicles. Super dissapointed. But hey, at least we got some copy paste to enjoy :)

I agree,but this exactly is the problem.

I don’t think this vehicle will even surpass the price of 10 GJN,hell i think it’ll probably reach 5 GJN maximum simply because it is not unique like previous vehicles. But it will still be sold,and Gaijin will still gain a fee for each unit sold in the marketplace

As they stated indirectly,this vehicle will be a gem for collectors (or a niche of them), so the utility in the game is nowhere to be seen

Ain’t no way a bomber with firepower only ~30% worse than the B-29, with a much better climb rate, and guided bombs is going to be at a BR below the B-29…

It’s not wrong this is how HE 20mm shells worked in irl

Technically not exactly, as in game Sd is implemented wrong, reducing the actual range below the historical range. @KillaKiwi can tell you more about it, he made a report iirc.

Will this be the level 51 or 75 reward?

I assume it will be the highest level one.
…but reading that again, it is slightly ambiguous. Main “aircraft” reward. Hrm…

The fuze was set on time, not distance…

I got you, i was talking about the mechanism, tbh i didn’t thought it was timed fused since it’s almost impossible to do that bc the shell only SD when it loses a huge amount of it’s speed and vilocity after cutting a certain distance (losing speed of the centrifugal effect).
