Bomber viability and survival

Please for the love of all that is holy, make bombers less likely to die before even starting a run, 2-3 rounds and losing and entire tail make it impossible to even play. Either that or remove the aircraft type completely.

Gaijin caters to the fighters way too much - bombers are an afterthought.

They nerfed the bomber gunner AI quite a while ago and made them useless.
So now you are supposed to pilot your bomber AND jump into the gun turrets to defend the plane.

Also doesn’t help that you MUST go into P vs P battles with a stock vehicle. Meanwhile fighters can earn modules vs bots in Air Assault.

In addition since a few months dropped bombs can be destroyed in-flight which makes bombing (in bomber or ground striker) esp. in naval battles very annoying. Often the first bombing run is the last one and if the properly dropped bombs doesn’t even hit the target is very frustrating.
This is also a example of a stupid change really nobody requested.

Maybe it would help the bombers if player access would be restricted. I really pitty those bombers when I see what some players do with them.

This is indeed a problem that seems very frequent in game but that I hardly ever heard of in reality. Maybe it was invented for ground battles but now messes up air games.
