I dunno if he still plays, but if you ever see him in battle on the enemy team, be very careful lol
100% most dangerous bomber pilot in the game.

I’ve had reasonable results with the Hudson, though sometimes I’ll also use it as a “turret fighter” against enemy bombers and AI aircraft by flying alongside/beneath them and trying to stay in AI gunner range.
Yeah I like the Hudson also.
Very capable at many things.

Bombers are useless—especially jet bombers—once you start facing much faster fighters carrying napalm; plus, when you finally go to hit a base, your own teammates might team-kill you without facing any punishment. While flying the Buccaneer at the 10.7 tier, I was team-killed by ThiWigOG (currently of the PRT3H clan) just so he could take the first base I was heading for, and nothing happened to him afterward. I’ve spent a good amount of money on this game, but the lack of penalties for team-killing, along with “ghost shells” and various other issues, means I only come back for special events before abandoning the game entirely—which is incredibly frustrating. When a team-kill occurs, half (or all) of the research points the offender earned in the match should go to the victim; that would be much fairer.
It has always been a problem Warthunder is an RNG shoot em up, historically, which is laughably how the game is advertised, bombers are primarily a strategic weapon. There is no long term strategy in Warthunder it is not that type of game so they try to shoehorn all sorts of vehicles in the game a lot which have no use and are more of a hindrance to the players and teams that spawn them.
Apart from the mediocre graphics it is a pretty poor game when it comes to it. I would not bother getting too involved or invested in it, it is just not worth it.
