“Lost tail control”
Why? Because a small shell hit the top of the tail lmao

105mm Flak shell explodes right on the plane’s tail bruh
Adjustments for collisions for sure, and missiles somewhat, but shells? Honestly, i dont really see it, atleast not to the levels the “opposition” claim

I am aware they’re 20mm guns, which is my problem in War Thunder.
I mentioned that above the clip.

From what I’ve seen the large bomber hunter cannons should be doing more damage, but 7.6-13mm seems mostly fine
Not sure about 20-30mm yet, but I’m definitely fine with them taking a while to break the wings entirely, as long as the engines (and obviously the cockpit) can be meaningfully damaged without “too much” effort
All I really want to see is wings and tails not just breaking clean off from 2 hits lol, anything on top of that is a bonus

By the way, what’s up with that trend of control surfaces breaking away with flames trailing behind? Where the hell does that fire even come from?

I believe that Bombers should be almost impossible to kill if you are not aiming for the engines, pilots, or control surfaces. If you do not learn to aim, you do not get to kill. A bomber is slower than you, bigger than you, and needs to survive long enough under pressure to attack a base. It can only do that if it can survive extended enemy aircraft strafes.
Bring skill back to War Thunder.

Those flames are the manifestation of the sheer amount of anger that your crew must be feeling from losing their plane to a single shell
Seriously though, I don’t know and that’s something that always kind of bothered me. Same thing happens when flaps and landing gears break from flying too fast and it doesn’t make any sense.

The IRL strat that WT Fighter players are allergic to learning to do and the entire reason the 262 was made to be that fast in a line :D

Let me introduce you to the hidden technique called “boom-n-zoom”

Buffing bombers probably is the most controversial thing since the APHE change poll

Yeah. It probably is :D

Both should be implemented. I am deeply frustrated by APHE remaining the way it is.

Especially given AP changes were just done iirc

https://youtu.be/JVxtJULJ0KA?si=dMLB-fiFkAR2NeXz Here’s a video that I think might answer your questions.
This video alone should disprove the Fighter players here who want them to die anywhere you shoot.

I’m still annoyed that we couldn’t get the concussion mechanic, but sadly a lot of the content creators managed to convince their viewers that the concussion mechanic would be a copy of the artillery stun from WoT…

I think Gunners need a buff, not a debuff. I can’t even remember the last time I was shot down by a bomber at all.
