and this is why the entire plane falls apart on its own if you take it out
This has to be an alt to troll man, lynx is that you?
Bombers don’t fall apart like Legos, even under 70kg explosions. I have already disproven this with actual video footage and side-by-side screenshots.
A Nike Ajax (70kg HE missile) doesn’t even blow a wing clean off at the fuselage when detonated against it.
As you can see in this example, while the damage is catastrophic, the shredded bomber is still holding together. This is a kill, but it isn’t split into pieces. The only major parts that fell off completely are an engine and half the wing.
My aim is abysmal dogshit with rockets lmao, I tried keeping the bursts to similar sizes as that video, First burst had one clip the top of the vertical stabilizer and the next burst actually managed to hit
Very good research. However, I believe a F150 truck vs 70 kg explosive filler bomb is necessary for me to believe such claims.
A tesla is also mostly aluminum, I can find a video of one being blown up by 70kg for you xD
Seems to be pretty accurate to the video. Any objections?
I do have an objection, Im embarrased of my aim with rockets lmao
I am genuinely uncertain what to take of this lmfao
Not gonna lie, I’m pretty sure bombers will be fine as they are right now. People will start aiming for engines and bringing rockets to deal with them. This is entirely historical.
Most of the people against this bomber fix seem to be reacting emotionally and not actually wanting to adapt. I’ve seen this a lot here, as people would rather just cuss you out and insult you instead of replying with counter-evidence like an adult.
No, they’re not fine, that requires effort and neuron activations, bombers are built like fighters and thus single 20mm rounds taking off entire tails is actually really realistic, the luftwaffe just sent up its dumbest and dimmest into the skies over germany because the allies wouldve never managed to bomb the factories if they sent up pilots that could land more than one shot on bombers, and thats unfair :P
notice how it is dead?
war thunder has simplifed damage models because it is a video game and for the player to actually die the wing/tail/whatever needs to physically come off. what you guys are advocating for is more or less making it harder for these parts to come off which with the way damage models work would make them comically tanky and unkillable. if you were to make a hyper realistic damage model and add it to the game changing nothing else from current live server bombers actual survivability would be like slightly better than what we currently have.
Good sir, you don’t need “target destroyed” to know you killed a bomber after shooting half their engines out.
How hard is it to boom and zoom a bomber’s engines? Lol
notice how this fella doesnt read anything?
The argument the entire time has never been “bombers shouldnt die”, its been “bombers shouldnt fall apart like legos”. their engines, fuel tanks, crew, these are still weakspots that can be aimed for, and easily killed, but a braindead player unloading .50s into the center mass historically and ingame wouldn’t be rewarded with “success”

*People who will actually (and capable to) learn and aiming for hunting bombers.
Others? Will come to forum and rain crocodile tears over spraying onto bombers and then get pilot/engine killed by it defensive armament

this guy said “yeah i think a b29 could tank a 40kg warhead”
It’s like complaining that you can’t lolpen the Jumbo in a Tiger 1 all over again. They need to learn to aim for weak spots and be patient. Bombers don’t die spontaneously like Fighter Aircraft.
Yeah? structurally it can, it wont fall apart.
Hell, B52s in vietnam tanked 130kg warheads from SA-2s, Quilt 3 actually ate MULTIPLE and limped back over friendly territory before the crew understandably ejected from that flying husk

the 15 friendlys about to steal it:
it dosent matter for the bomber player their game is over anyways having a hyper realistic damage model is pointless for gameplay
