Changes to Bomber Survivability Feedback and Discussion

More trouble parsing information bud?

At what point did I ever say bombers are too weak from this rework? Ive been purely disproving the “bombers are too strong” cope and giving actual scientific data instead of f14d and a10a prem slop posts lmao

I did post further up, fire damage on aircraft is very localized, the airstream acts like a blowtorch and cooling the surroundings instead of burning in the ground letting heat spreadand it does eventually spread on a b52 or a tu95, albeit quite slowly, perhaps that can use a little buff

Arguing that they aren’t too strong is pretty heavily implies you are unhappy with how they are currently.

Otherwise you’d say something along the lines of them arguably being more realistic in the current dev state, but it still a negative change for the game.

Or just shoot them outside of their effective range.

Bombers are too survivable right now

counterpoint, just use AP rounds:

No, me implying theyre fine as it is implies theyre fine as it is and im happy with them (barring how they handle collisions) and a negative inpact on the game? The amount of times i hear people missing the old war thunder is ridiculous, and back then blmbers were tanky, it was just the lowest skilled players screaming the loudest about them, as they always do. Im here to defend these changes and to shut down the whole one man army fighter fantasy thats been going on for the better part of a decade now.

Lmfao, yeah id like to see them try and complain about that, fighter mains cant change ammo tpyes confirmed more he must be better

If only ARB mode itself would make bombers not so useless. Now there would be just a single bomber fantasy esp in lower BRs where there’s not much things to counter them. I’ve literally survived ~1000 rounds in TB-3 and ramming and then proceeded to fly for another ~15 mins until the round ended with black control cables in new damage iteration.

missiles need buff against new DM as well, this is relevant for jet bombers and the jet aircraft that got DM changes.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint, just use the bomber itself.

Yes this was previously mentioned, the new bomber DMs have dxposed shortcoming in missile modeling and that eill need to be looked at, a missile or two is fine, not 9

Still completely ignoring the damage a SINGLE 30mm HE shell is supposed to do to an airframe and glazing the made up survivability

it was just the lowest skilled players screaming the loudest about them

Hey time repeats itself, lowest skilled players whined about bombers being too weak and they’re getting what they wanted! Funny that.

Also idk where you hear people talk about the old game, but everyone I’ve heard talked about old top tier and the game being less BR compressed. Oh, and Korea. Old Korea was peak.

Ok i guess im now buying Ar-234 just to make this with G8N1s lmfao.

The Arado was famous in WT for doing that before, so it should be even better at it now

So now we just have a new mechanic just to make arado’s sales better? LOL

I’m more of a gameplay over realism guy, so honestly, I don’t care that bombers surviving multiple 30mm rounds might be unrealistic

Cope, seethe, post statistics that isnt a firing test on a mosquito sized blenheim 😂

I have tried it with the Arado’s but it doesn’t really work with it. You can do it but you will end up dying instantly half the time and the other half in a slow fall to your death.

It really works best on the BFB’s, most notably the B-52 and Tu-95.

So now we should get B-17s to encounter Me-262s to make this even more realistic?
