Changes to Bomber Survivability

Nah it’s right where it should be actually

HE has no such issue and there’s plenty of PBJ-1Hs with the same gun running around

Seems pretty lethal to me.

It’s called manoeuvring and positioning you should try it some time

That’s not at all what the video was about. It was about the damage being done. Please don’t de-rail. You couldn’t be more off-topic of the post.

A) that is what it’s about. It might not have been your intention but it is.

B) That was not a single shot lol.

.50 cal doesn’t do that much structural damage

It very clearly is not, i posted that to talk about an issue with the damage model. Positioning doesn’t have anything to do with.
With your logic the buff to bomber damage models was pointless, as they could try positioning.

I was not talking about how many shots were fired. I clearly said “Single hit to the wing”
You could try reading and trying to comprehend what is being talked about next time.

I sense a “How do you know those were .50cal shots in that gun cam clip?” incoming

Give me access to gaijins tools and probably

Could we stop posting these AI enhanced videos? You can’t tell what is added into it by AI.
Clearly the wingtip being torn off wasn’t. But that hardly tells the whole story about how many hits it took prior to the destruction of the wing. Also it is the part of the wing further from the fuselage

Btw, looking at your footage, you run at a decently high ping of 116, what server are you playing on?

Secondly, looking frame by frame, you got shot in the cockpit at least 5-7 times and were simply unphased.

So it’s likely a combination of desync, and the rounds striking the wing, but seemingly registering else where based on the desync.

Lastly, a video is a video dude.
None of us were around in WW2 to say it did or didn’t happen.

EU and US, im living in the EU. That was on an US server.

I live in the US and only like to play NA. So my ping is usually 26
It does become the CN server after 10 pm my time though, and boy are the suspicious users out in force as the SL crates come to a close.

Yeah, i have the US servers selected due to playing with people from the US. No matter who’s the squad leader, we choose both just for equality. EU server also seems to experience the same kind of migration in the early morning hours lol.

So true, actually.

You’ve changed my mind, WarThunder gun cam footage is now actual WW2 gun cam footage.

It was obvious from the moment a ridiculous amount of smoke started coming out from the wing.
There’s nothing inside a Bf 109’s wing for that

Lmao I didn’t even see that. Good catch.

Again. My bad.
Twas an honest mistake.

All the people I play with are from CA or the US so… just makes sense to play only US
