I think there’s a problem with the bombs, at least at low BRs, like 6.3.
In recent days, I’ve often had the chance to perfectly drop bombs from a Spitfire (500 lb) with a 1-second fuse, right on top of a tank (Sherman, Tiger, IS, T34). The result has been several times that when the bomb hits the tank (turret, hull, sidepods, it makes no difference), the result is a hit, not a pen, and the explosion destroys the tracks and machine gun. It’s as if the game only senses the kinetic energy; the resulting explosion only propagates outward without doing anything inside the tank. However, when the bomb is dropped close to the tank (even a few meters away), the explosion destroys the tank as usual.
I understand that the cas is annoying for tank players, but it’s part of the game, and that’s an aspect that only gaijin can resolve with specially created methods. The point is that since it exists, I don’t find it normal for it to be this way, and from what I remember playing for many, many years, it’s never been so obvious. Dropping a bomb on a tank has always been a practically guaranteed kill (bomb capacity permitting), also because it doesn’t make sense that a bomb dropped on the tower doesn’t do any damage, while one dropped at 4/5 meters onshots.
Can you guys just stop bringing it into EVERY thread that even comes close to even mentioning any air threat that you guys can’t handle?
If it needs fixing, it needs fixing.
And it does need fixing if it’s shown to be an issue which I do feel there is an issue to be found here… I think it’s been happening for at least the last few weeks compared to the last few days. (And it’s not a map/terrain bug, it’s a genuine something isn’t right with them)
How is it that a bomb can not kill you, yet it blows you from spawn into the out of bounds area of a map, where while trying to repair you die due to the count down for being out of bounds. Thats insane.
I did say it needs to be fixed what is your issue? I play CAS sometimes as well because it’s just way too effective in the current meta and bombs working weirdly is an issue. I also however agree we should have the choice to not subject outselves to the bullshit that is CAS.
It’s part of the game so it’s not going anywhere, so moaning about it constantly and actually spamming up threads with your ‘issues’ with it is nothing but spam and causing arguments.
Again, can we please not have this turn into an anti-CAS thread, after all, Ben posting in this mentality, is the problem… He has nothing to do with it, but hopes it doesn’t get fixed out of spite.
Are you illiterate or something? Nowhere did I say I want it removed. I said it should be fixed.
Just because I mention something slightly related but off topic in my reply that also includes on topic subjects does not make it a non allowed reply.
And so what if I mention tanks only or wanting it? The bombs in regular GRB should still be fixed so that they perform as they should and people can keep bombing eachother. I might sometimes even join in because it can be fun.
I really don’t get why you have to be so upset about it.
If anyone is derailing this thread it’s you by hanging onto certain words and phrases and not just letting my comments stand. I had no intention of furthering this strain of comment but you just had to go and attack my argument.
How so? I say the bombs should be fixed and yet want another mode where I don’t have to worry about bombs not working because they don’t exist. What part of ANOTHER MODE do you not understand?
I mean you were the one trying to stir shit by clearly misreading and not understanding my first comment. Now please lets stop this derailing.
What part of off-topic and derailing are you not comprehending?
I didn’t misread anything, you’re the one trying to imply that I can’t read to start the argument… Just because I actually made a clear mention at the start of this nonsense, that it wasn’t about you guys chiming on about how you want a seperate mode as the vocal minority does, everywhere, any chance it gets, to make out that others are derailing the threads, just so they can be echoing their angst at being got.
It’s part of the game, it’s not going anywhere.
Trying to play the ‘better man’ nonsense to get the last word is just typical.
It’s become completely random. I can still get a double kill on a heavy and medium with a 50 kg bomb and somehow a 600kg swedish bomb (with 480kg of tnt eq) cannot kill a tiger after bouncing off the tank. It’s a roll of the dice if you actually killa target.
it seems that bombs dont have a full “sphere” for its damage to be calculated. You can blow up something like FAB5000 or 12 000lb bomb when climbing and when you hit it like 100m from below while the bomber is 100m above it, the bomber gets way more damage. I think (only my impression) that bombs do way more damage on the upper half-sphere around it (with the bomb in the center and the horizon as Level to determin above and under. I survived a 2000lb in my panther because it got stuck on my roof and only killed the gun and roof MG, not even the tracks.
Additionaly i think bombs shouldn’t just bounce off from tanks when hit with a time fuze but rather stuck/fall dwon without bouncing off.
