Okay. Easy solution. Credit everyone who does critical damage to the bomber equally for the kill. The Severe Damage mechanic already exists, just make it better.
Now the claim has shifted to “you don’t need it anyway”.
No, whats pointless for gameplay is bombers getting wings blasted off by a literal sneeze of the trigger.
Who the hell would play a fat slow flying pinata?
Bombers being durable again does two things, it lets people actually play and enjoy bombers, AND it gives people a reason to grab some heavier bomber hunting interceptors to DEAL with the bombers, its a double positive for gameplay
Just because YOU dont like it doesnt mean the rest of the community doesnt. Hell, even the fighter side of argument in this thread hasnt been saying “bombers are good as they were”, theyve simply disagreed with us about how much the buff should be, not there shouldnt be any buff at all

only difference with this hypothetical ultra realistic damage system is the bomber takes like 20 seconds before the damage sustained causes it to roll over and nose dive into the ground
This game is so much more engaging when you can’t just click someone to death.
Bombers are useless in air rb tho, they don’t really help you with the match and making them tanky for zero reason just lets them draw MORE matches for way longer than they should. they offer nothing for air rb and should be removed from the game mode

I don’t think (or atleast I hope) that no one is entirely against a bomber buff, but I atleast think they went too far in the other direction. These changes will make certain bombers nearly unkillable, and will result in BR increases for many of them too.
Exaggerated statements do nothing but make your argument weaker.
Why am I even listening to this stick dragger’s take? Buddy probably has crossplay turned off and fights bot lobbies (and still loses)
Can you name a strategic bomber that doesn’t have exposed engines or pilots?
Also, we just found that you can still easily kill them with rockets. This incentivises rockets in Air battles, which is also great.
XB-70 homie trust
Isnt the point of BR increases to balance vehicles? More durable bombers? Yeah, they should get a bit of a bump, they got better
i win closer to 78.18% of those lobbys thank you very much
Stick dragger doesnt deny the bot lobby allegations lmao
In ARB sure, but in GRB you need to turn the enemy nuke bomber into a scorch mark on the dirt to prevent them from ending the game with a nuke drop.
Unless multiple other mechanics change the number of aircraft actually capable of intercepting and denying a nuke drop below 9.0(?- wherever the nuke bomber becomes a strike fighter/fast interdictor) will drop drastically this update.
In ARB the bombers will get uptiered significantly due to vastly enhanced survival time per spawn. This is a metric that gaijin in the past mentioned is factored into BR calculations (old forum). Obviously surviving longer also gives more reward from activity time too. More reward is directly factored into BR calculations as one of the primary variables gaijin uses.
You can’t get super tanky planes that take forever to die and expect them to stay their current BR.

what does stick dragger even mean
Just because you can aim for them doesn’t mean you’ll survive if you try to. Some bombers despite being buffed will still be weaker cause of their lack of armour (B/T18s, and the Ju-288 come to mind), but others will be significantly harder to kill and will end up going up in BR cause of it.
What some people here seem to ignore is that bombers can defend themselves and if you need a few seconds of solid fire on a specific place, you will most likely be hit/killed trying to do so.
There aren’t that many rockets available to prop planes, and I doubt they are easy enough to aim to be reliable. However I do think them being more meaningful is cool,

Its what you call a console player dragging their stick around on that controller lmao
I wish I had more of these matches. Unfortunately I don’t find people like you in game often enough.
Yes, but them going up just makes them more useless and outclassed performance wise than before.
Just play naval and farm 2362187 morbillion SL… God I wish gaijin would pay more attention to it
