I just think that bombers should be better integrated into ARB and bring better rewards to fighters defending or attacking them…
And this addition/bomber buff is good for that.
we have discussed this, yes, increasing repair and sp costs for bombers and increasing the rewards for killing them, this is something most agreed on

I thought of another approach, more shaping the gameplay than just a simple reward change:
Long story short, allied planes should have an incentive being near a bomber to collect a reward, and enemy planes - an incentive to attack these groups, as they will get way more reward.
There is an issue of the bombers are too high up for the fighters to catch up and cover them on these tiny air maps. either bigger maps or a limited number of “bomber escort” spawns per team

Ideally, that will make bombers not compete for targets and rather fly together, allied fighters to cover them from enemies to gather a reward, enemy fighters to hunt for grouped bombers, as they give way more reward.
I thought there is a limit of bombers per team, like 4? If we do not count attackers, just pure bombers
if these bombers dont die as easily anymore, should they spawn lower to get more support from fighters?
Lower spawns? I could see that. Easy fix too

Well, look, with HP changes and an economic incentive to actually fly together/cover bombers, that will shape bomber’s gameplay as well.
Devs could even remove air spawns for them.
Ju288s are gonna be seething so hard lmfao

This as well, but I remember like 1000kg bombs with aerial detonation.
Also this looks similar to soviet AG-2 small parachute bombs that were used on many planes as a “counter-measures” against fighters behind.
What is a name of it? I need it for the suggestion of ww2 countermeasures.
Ah, “Type H”, it seems, need to google
Cluster bomb sure. We will find other use out of them
Aerial deploy tree
The full name is “Type H, A.D. Apparatus”, the service variant was the Mark II
The document that this is from is called “OP 1665”
I am not aware of an anti air bomb, but there is another thing similar to the Type H AD Apparatus developed by the Japanese
