Yeah. We’ll see what they cook up this Dev cycle, though im guessing they’ll just tweak the numbers, and not add anything that has been suggested in this thread

Agreed
To be honest I would like to see this in release for some time. Even couple of days like in case of pseudo mitl mclos missiles or reverse drift puma bug. Its just hilarious.

Imagine what would “strike aircraft survivability buff” look like on a10 or su25 if it came instead of this. Armored jet attackers with insane survivability being one of top priorities.
Uhm please redirect me if there’s a more fitting thread for this but: I thought this change would affect ANY multi-engined aircraft specifically listed as “bomber” in game.
But I didn’t see the German FW 189 A-1 on the list of affected planes. Yes, in reality it was a recon-plane with 4x 50kg jokes of a bomb - but ingame it gets bomber air-spawn, has two engines and even a tailgunner. So by what rule did this “slip through” the communicated type of vehicles affected?
What other class would you give that plane?
I think it might be Legacy in regards to the way it does damage, however it looks like the skin of the Wellington were increased from 1mm to 3mm, which is why a lot of HE don’t do damage with fragmentation to something like the crew, because they don’t have enough HE pen to be able to penetrate the skin.

I would actually be more worried about Il-2s than A-10s and Su-25s
Aura farming expansion from irl to war thunder. Tho I think su25t will be much more scary still. Gsh30 which shreds anything at that br, 16 vikhrs which on top of anything can also shred planes and helis, 2 kh25ml, 2 kh29t. And on top of that it survives 8-10 stingers, 6 saclos missiles, couple hundreds autocannon rounds.
Gaijin feels way too complacent and stuck in a “bare minimum” mindset. If players feel a change is just “fine” or “neutral”, they see no reason to push it any further and properly polish it. Hope I’m wrong, though.

Not just gaijin thing but yea, they keep pushing until players hit gaijin arm
AAAAARGH, BUT I WANT IT NOW! 😂 But you know what I meant, the time between updates is long and painful for something like this

Perhaps.
Some things just need a little longer to bake in the oven, no matter how good they might look.
True, but from gaijins POV, that doesn’t sell arados 😭

The votes are interesting, knowing some people really do want their spacebar simulator to tank whole AIM-54s.

I voted “too much” but still want it on live for couple days to mess around. Not fan of flying huge boring cow but with this it might be funny at least
I just personally think large bombers on their own has no place in War Thunder, since they just don’t fit into the whole PVP nature of the game. And now they’re buffing them back into stalemate machines, the very reason that got them nerfed into paper like they currently are.

Oh no I voted for more durability as ragebait lol, lemme change that
Wish we had a section to submit suggestions without so many filters. Something like the Hot Issues list, but with Hot Suggestions, upvote-sorted. That way, it would also help Gaijin gauge player demands.

Some of these votes gotta be genuine, given that the average player plays like NPCs.
