Both Pe-8 and Lancaster are essentially dead now

Destruction radius on both FAB-5000 and H.C. 12000LB was pretty much halved.

I get how dying to these things was probably frustrating, but they were already insanely situational and fairly rarely used. It wasn’t anything like Yak-9K which is a constant presence in it’s BR bracket. Unless you got a perfect map, enemies played into you and you managed to jump into one of those very expensive planes quickly, you would simply end up with 1-2 kills and be a free kill from that point onwards.

Now they have destruction power comparable to a 4000LB barell bomb before the nerf, how are you suposed to justify sacrificing versatility, good flight performance and whatnot for 1 of those big bombs now? You can’t.

Last strategic bombers with any degree of viability in this game have been castrated and are no longer worth using at all.
