so instead of doing some thinking and fixing the top end and they block nerfed everything and broke it completely … because it was easier to do … colour me surprised
with even just the minimum of thinking they can period adjust as they would in RL so any ships likely to meet air will have some sort of AAA
it is not like it is historically accurate … the latest bit where first shots are normally .36 over or sometimes only .28 just shows it is a predetermined dice game on the inside
Horrible decision to nerf the bombs. The narratives supporting this awful decision are insane.
Here is where you are wrong. In WT we go: a single plane against entire ship’s AA. We also go against the laser defense AI bots that snipe your plane from 4km. If a boat is in an SKR, they will knock you out from 6km. The splash was the reward for navigating all those dangers that WT originally caged the successful bomb release with.
Getting the Hellcat knife-fight close to a DD was always an admirable feat rewarded with destroying the said DD. Naturally less so with Momi but more so with even a Barker.
So, if Gj took away the bomb damage they also have to fix the bot laser guns.
This would be fair. This would be good. I am OK aiming for the ship with AP bombs, but not when I am already on fire because river armor boat shot me down from 4km away using magic bolts.
Yet. quite contrary. I have a feeling that the bot AA was stepped up because there are multiple occasions now where I die because my own bomb is hit and explodes the moment I release it.
Gaijin shouldn’t act like that. It can’t only take it should also give. And yet again in sad, typical Gj fashion they just took away.
Here what else is wrong with this poor, lazy idea to nerf the bombs: it made war bond tasks harder. The “bomb 6 ships” used to take X minutes, now it takes double.
But I already paid for the Battle Path, and its tasks got harder on me AFTER I paid for the BP. That’s unethical. I hope the developers get treated in life like they treat us: after they pay money for something the other party will change the goods/services on them for worse.
Indeed, I had a special task “destroy 9 ships with a bomber” It took a huge number of matches to complete this - you must target exactly and very very often the laser-guided KI AA kills you, and even if not - the bomb drop one meter away - such a near miss in real world would kill the ship!
Not my experience - pick you BR’s and nature of your games better perhaps.
I can usually (not always!) do it in 2-3 games, and that hasn’t changed for me for a couple of years - it is a “go to” special task still.
but joe
you are just so wonderful we cannot hope to match your skills
Yeah - you actually can and it doesn’t take much except a little focus on the task.
you really have no clue how this game works under the hood do you … it;s almost cute how you think it works
What do I need to know from “under the hood” to kill ships with bombers?
