I don’t really care if a nuke plane gets the nuke easier cause they earned it. Not to mention that, at the BR of the B-29 nuke plane, 155 HE-VT is really common.
I have no expectation for them to sit at their BR right now. I just want them to be good and competitive.
Earning a nuke doesn’t mean you’re allowed to just end the game for free with no counterplay, this change will make the current counterplay basically stop existing (especially if ramming with fighters continues to be so pathetic for damage)
It’s iffy. Bombers have a nerf to spread when you’re using the guns, and the AI doesn’t kill anything reliably 99% of the time. I actually made a suggestion earlier for the gunners as I see this as an issue.
While sometimes rare, they do exist. German BF109 planes even occasionally get rockets that detonate at a set distance.
Usually when someone gets a nuke, it’s at the end of a game anyway. Not to mention how easy it is to kill a B-29 using 155 HE-VT. In the Nuke plane’s current state, you’ll die from anything engaging you if they’re remotely confident, too.
If possible, that would be a good dev server test as well, honestly.
sorry im the greatest player to ever touch this game and i just like wake up and piss excellence dude holy fuck im so good you wouldnt be able to kill me even a single time in a 1v1 holy shit im like so talented and amazing even if you cured cancer it wouldnt hold a candle to how fucking good i am at this game you wish you were me dude god damn im him
Im going to sleep, can someone retrieve that clip of that guy higher up in this thread literally one tapping tail sections off with a singular 20mm turret in his YER-2 and sneezing a few .50s to the same result, thanks
Why would I stand 15 meters from an R-40? It’s an air-to-air missile.
Also, no actual aircraft is made up of nothing but “aircraft skin.” Spars, fuel tanks, pillars, and various other structural components exist, so I don’t even know what this arbitrary suicidal test is supposed to represent: some amount of aircraft skin plus a walking corpse?
And why would I be naked? Is the aircraft skin supposed to be some kind of exoskeleton? Aircraft skin is generally made from advanced aluminum or other metal alloys, after all.
So yes, if I’m entombed in several millimeters of titanium armor, I’d stand in front of an R-40 detonation for the hazard pay.
But I have to ask: what is with these elaborate hypotheticals you keep throwing out as if they’re actually relevant to the discussion?
We’ve posted 1,650 replies just trying to decide whether bombers should shatter like Legos from .50 cal rounds, and we still haven’t reached a consensus. In my opinion, this thread is doing nothing but dragging down the reputation and quality of our forum. As I’ve mentioned before, I think this topic needs to be locked here before it degrades the community any further
I also think certain troll accounts need to be banned from this forum. All they do is waste everyone’s time while speaking entirely based on assumptions—it’s an absolute embarrassment on their part.
Also to FeetPics, Just_Baron, and RoyalWaffles deserve credit because they were the ones who spoke with the sources from the very beginning, although there were many other people involved as well.
Dude, Gaijin can’t even fix the horizontal stabiliser counting as severe (it does nothing) while loss of elevator doesn’t, and it’s been like that for over a year I think, and you are expecting way more advanced chamges to be done. Nah, not gonna happen
The “better” is waaay beyond “eliminate 1 severe damage condition and add another in over a year” or “fix the plywood bug ruining the game for the last 14 years” (it used to affect only MG151/20, now it affects everything, but MG151/20 the least) . My point is, Gaijin is absolutey horrible with fixing things they have already implemented.
Bombers tanking hundreds of 30mm is just a proof of this. Why even test a setup, that is clearly broken?
