They’ll definitely be blown into a billion pieces

I like how we can tell that the AI thinks the B-17 having multiple fire extinguishers = having all of them concentrated in the wing, and therefore putting out a massive conflagration multiple times in the wings is perfectly reasonable.

Man hes really getting some good hits in, the B17 is a goner for sure
theres bits falling off! surely its done for now!
MAN A HIT RIGHT TO THE TAIL! ITS GONNA FALL OFF!
Why isnt it dying?
Surely it will die now, right?
Why isnt it dying hes flat out unloading into it
He has filled up the entire guncam with B-17 now while holding the trigger.
Its still flying, its still in one piece… Interesting, isnt it

This is my own claim, and to my knowledge, B-17s They had a backup fire extinguishing system.

One Piece is REAAAAAAAAAAL!
Jesus he’s defending someone who accepts Google as a source :((((((
You know whats interesting?
I can SEE the holes on the top of the wing there, and those hole sizes look very similar to those calculations I made earlier on a b17
Thats so interesting! Wow!

Yes, but point is, Gaijin should not be doing “bomber durability fix”, as current system is broken beyond repair. They should be doing aircraft damage model overhaul.

Bombers need a durability buff, no matter how fragile a lot of fighters are
A general damage model overhaul would take a lot more work and way more time than just tweaking the durability values of a class of planes that is in dire need of a fix

Even then, this rework is a better stopgap than nothing

So we’re just going to mess up the gameplay thr other way by introducing the beloved trope of bombers chasing fighters around the map.
Simply can’t wait!
Also this brings us step away from any real improvements IMO, as this temporaty band aid will be presented as proper solution.

what kind of bomber do you expect to chase fighters

As long as the durability fix doesn’t end up making engines too tanky, you won’t have to chase them
You shouldn’t chase them in the first place though, a frontal or side-on approach is how you should engage a bomber
What should be happening together with the bomber durability fix is a ticket drain buff, so ground-pounding always can end a match

Because bombers can’t just turn and make your “side on approach” you’ve been working for last 13 minutes a tailchase.
Edit:
If you lose any altitude by engaging fighters or attackers, you are not going to be able to set up this legendary attack from above before the game essentialy ends.
And bombers can always roll and shoot you. Or turn and shoot you.
It’s not like real liife where gunners were not doing great inverted. Here they are 3-plane stabilised and have superhuman strength.
And it’s not like I haven’t been 1-shot by G8N1 by trying attacking it at 750km/h in Ta-152H by diving at it from 45 degrees above and 45 degrees to the left of his nose, becuse I thought that would give me a bit better chance. Nah, ded

13 minute tailchase- What the hell are you flying? a zero? The only bombers that are actually fast for the BR are the german frontline bombers, thats literally what they’re meant to do, and they arent as tanky as the true heavies even on the dev server

Now you’re just using Ad Hominem.
This video was already posted here. The B-24 is a structurally weak aircraft, and it holds up to a FW190 firing on it. Depending on the model, these could be 30mm Mk103 HE shells.
Ad hominem all around. I don’t even play bombers in this game, but when I rarely do, I don’t appreciate having my B-29 chopped in half within a round or two of a 20mm impacting it.

Again, there should be a buff towards ticket drain, so you won’t have to chase lone bombers down
