Changes to Bomber Survivability Feedback and Discussion

You got 1500 messages to scroll up through, literally any talking point you bring up has been discussed already. This thread is useless now lmao, its going in a tighter circle than bismarck with jammed rudders

Can you test how the B-17 and B-29 hold up to the F-89’s proxy rockets?

I dont own an f89, sorry

It’s a premium, and ignore the guy above. He’s violating TOS big time, and you’ll likely get caught up in it.

Yeah, F89D, the rocket one, was taken off sale. I cant test fly it, its not there, looking at the video though thats a pretty damn solid burst of rockets, damn 😂

You should be able to preview it using the War Thunder tech tree website they have.

“These planes are built the exact same way as fighters” you just told me everything I need to know to not waste my time on you

Literally scroll up, all of your questions have been answered with math, statistics, illustrations, schematics on BOTH SIDES of the argument, and you are the only one to walk in here and call a bomber the same as a fighter.

Damn you’re right, lemme hop on and check if that works on dev

they were what do you want me to say

They were not. Thank you for making your own credibility zero, though. We can ignore you now, as you will likely get a TOS violation for your last reply.

The audacity to walk in here and call everyone dumbfucks without the slightest clue of what is actually going on 😂

It’s worse because they always say it and never disprove the videos, documentation, or math. It’s always “you think big equals durable” followed by slurs and ad hominem, which tends to actually be the case. Greater mass absorbs more. I reject any opinion that wants the Bombers returned to a fragile state. They are in a good spot right now, for the most part.

What I want to know for certain, though, is whether the F-89’s rockets tear a B-17 apart or not, as they should do so.

The fact like not even 100 messages up you got full structural schematics for the b17 and b29 and its just an abhorrent labrinth of spars and ribs that would make a ship designer blush

Also news on the F89D front, on dev it just gives me “error try again later or re log in” (which ive tried)

Maybe i can try the purcara, its not prox fuse mighty mouses but it has the number count

these were there so the plane could support its own weight

Oh, they must have closed the dev.

No, im on the dev server right now, wiki is not playing nice

That labyrinth of metal absorbs overpressure well, but not extended rapid stress. The fragmentation is a different story, but if it doesn’t reach the pilots or engines, it won’t do much.

The easy solution to some of this is allowing big explosions to shatter the propellers.

no-brain-dumb

Im just gonna rocket salvo a burst over the b29 see how it does

Use Mighty Mouses.
