@Stona_WT Please standardize your loadout icons and correct mistakes highlighted in the screenshot.

I tested it in game and the bomber physically has 12x firebombs in the bomb bay. So it´s just icon display issue.

Also holy mother of copy pasted cockpit. It´s like I have been teleported back to 2018.

My honest reaction:

That’s basically every single bomber cockpit, but there are somehow worse cockpits too.

Is there a 2 x SC 2500 payload in there?

Didn’t they pretty much confirm a while back that detailed bomber cockpits will never be added? kinda weird they still have the “cockpit placeholder” text in the bottom if that’s true…

No, it isnt a choice you get to make, and isn’t intended to be. You will randomly recieve one of the vehicles from the box that you do not already own.

I would have expected more work put into a paid main prize. They even copied prop wear pixel by pixel if you look at the 2 bombers. Very sad :(

So much stuff has been copy and past lately, 50%+ of vehicles in the last couple updates have just been unnecessary reskins

If I had to say something positive, at least the missiles are cool

Btw i just checked, hs293 missiles do not have a weapon view like bombs do. It basically makes them worthless in GRB

Warbond shop is also terrible

My last hopes for this battle pass went away, now i can say without any doubts that it is, in fact the worst battle pass we have ever had

Is it anti-shipping radio control misille…
What do you want to do with this missile in ground tank battles…

This plane is for WT NAVY players, or collectors of planes in air battles…
Doesn’t make much sense for tank players…

Historically, with this sliding bomb, they were able to damage only one bridge in France on land, after the landing of the Allies…

As a curiosity for GRB players, the He-177 A3 variant with Boardkannonen Bk-5, which was originally on the Panzer III ( 50 mm KwK 39 ) would be interesting… This variant was originally a prototype, but the Luftwaffe front maintenance units, rebuilt during the winter of 1942 , a small number of Greifs for anti-ground attacks… Unofficially, these versions on the Eastern Front were named Stalingradtyp…
There were some small successes with the cannon, but it did not balance the losses of the Greifs, which were large…

Using the Hs-293 I was easily able to destroy the tanks on the test drive from a long distance away.

Dropping at 1km altitude, 7.5 km distance and flying straight with 0% throttle, I am at 3.5 km distance when the bomb hits. You will be immune to any SPAA at the BR bracket, even the radar guided ones.

Could you achieve the same or better result with bombs? Maybe. The missiles are still cool though

Yes, good. Apparently the game allows it…
It’s about each player’s preferences…
It’s unnatural for me, I see it as nonsense, but as I say, it’s a matter of each player…

Basically no one plays naval in this game. And even then, use of these missiles even there is very questionable with how stupidly strong anti airs on ships are.

Let’s not make excuses for terrible events, because we will only get more of that trash if gajin won’t see our disappointment.

This vehicle is garbage, they could have just added Hs 293 to the tech tree version of this plane and give us an actually worthwile reward. This could have been a different story if these missiles had any practical use in GRB, but they don’t so it’s end of story here.

Sorry, but a copypaste ship along with a copypaste plane with a gimmick are terrible rewards.

Hmmm, but there are players who play the naval component of the game.
Long games in the Ocean Navy are very popular and in a normal daily game, you will also find plenty of players…

Both bombs ( Fritz X + Hs 293 ) were dropped in real life from a height of around 20,000 feet, i.e. around 6 km… and that high AAA is no longer strong in real life or in the game…

So the He-177 will have two glide bombs and we won’t do anything about it.
Either we want this plane or not…
That’s about all there is to say…

Except good luck trying to climb to 6km in war thunder in a fat bomber when your plane spawns at like 2-3km. It’s not happening.

This game is not real life.

I feel like charging money for a BP and having people grind 3 months for a vehicle that was community made should not come with a placeholder cockpit.
