B52 is here - Past due to de-nerf bombers

Like it says. 1) Bombs are not detonated by bullets in RL. 2) Bombers were already crippled into unplayability to appease the endless whining of the fighter mafia. Now instead of being a plane they have been transformed into a party favor.

When a BF2C with a single 7.62 can pen the bomb bay doors of a BV238 and one shot it, any claim to realism is a farce.

Now with the long awaited B-52, it’s time for Gaijin to accept that the over the top nerfing to bombers was a mistake. This has been called out by the community for over three years, and reaffirmed with polls and posts that the majority wants bombers buffed. Only a vocal minority of fighter mafia goons who resort to the usual tactics of troll posting and gang smears do not want this, and attempt to gaslight everyone into believing their view is the majority. I fully expect the usual flurry of insults and harassment flagging to silence this post.

It’s time past due for Snail address its mistake and to quietly walk back the nerfs: unrealistically destructive engine fires, 20mm tail and fuselage shredding, worthless gunners, BR over tiering (B29 & TU4), spitball exploding ordinance et al, and make bombers playable again.

I know but this is more expanded

it is literally the same thing!!

Piano is correct here, devs wanted cool munition interception and took the opportunity to shit bombers over. By makin bombs still have a hitbox inside the bombay, and bombays aren’t armored so that leads to a 7.5mil Mac AP round explodin a B-25

It’s a dove tail of several previous posts regarding buffing bombers in general, having said that, I will change the title to appease Joeseph 🙄🫤
