A German bomber premium in Rank IV ? You sell me the Battlepass, Gaijin. Good job !
Time to learn the mechanic of the Fritz-X on console.

If the A-5 gets the Hs293 (and a /R1 label) it reduces the new A-3/R3 to little more than an engine change with minor performance changes (assuming they include switch).
But if they took away the PC1400X from the A-5 without adding a tree A-5/Rx it would cause a riot (even though I rarely see it used removing weapon options never goes down well).
Lose/lose.
Honestly I expect nothing to change.

2 heavy bombers in a row for the battlepass? A bold move.

All they need to do is change the A-5 to A-5/R2
It’s from wiki but it’s the exact same description of what we have in game plus it’s should get it’s ability to carry the SC 2500/SB 2500, two inside the bomb bay or two outside (one under each wing rack)

Cool and all but come on gaijin… Two vehicles? TWO vehicles? And the battlepass is still the same price? It’s honestly laughable at this point…
So lazy.

Maybe there will be some secret vehicle or maybe better WB shop… But I doubt it
Oh thats all for this one? I was waiting for the ground vehicle anouncement. Another BP to sleep on.

Wish they can reintroduce the system for the Warbonds shop when you have the possibility to have access to old low tier event vehicles…

As the bomb loadout seems similar (4x SC 1800 really?) to the Tech Tree version) i expect the same BR of 6.0 in Air RB.
Not sure why you chose again a bomber, it looks like this might be suited for the fellow naval players, but imho you might think about lowering the usual battle pass challenge (20.000 mission score) to avoid such Air RB turkey shootings like we have seen vs the PBM Mariner from the current battle pass.
In addition you might think about to (finally) add the German sea mines - when the plane is advertised to be suited for Naval the loadout is no complete without mines…
On top of that it would be essential that you fix the actually flat wrong self-destructing mechanism of the MG 151 mine shells.
Currently they explode after travelled distance and not after 3 seconds as irl. This results in a nerf for fellow fighter pilots in headons and nerf bomber pilots shooting at targets flying behind them.
The bug report is 6 months old and is not processed:

It might help if some readers of this thread would click the “i have the same issue” in order to help gaijin to prioritize this report created by the fellow player @KillaKiwi .
Thx in advance!

Waffentractoring?
This is another check off that leak list, is it not? Could have sworn this was on it.
When even Gaijin staff occasionally forget that Naval is a thing 🤣
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
