Changes to Bomber Survivability

well yeah?? that was a balance idea

We both probably thought you were serious in believing that 6-8 mm is the real thickness of the planes skin…

rip, maybe if they were built like bugs lol

I think you would need to open a support ticket, no one on the forums will be able to assist you with something like that.

Click the ❓ mark in game, top right corner of the screen. Then click “Support”, select the appropriate options and fill out your info. It can take up to a week sometimes to get a response, so be patient. Do NOT add any replies after the first 24 hours, as each time you edit or add to your ticket it resets your place “in line” and you will have to wait longer. (It is fine to make edits right away if you forgot something, you just do NOT want to make changes days later.)

Be polite and respectful. They are real humans who work through the support tickets. They have always been helpful and polite with me. Good luck.

I think team work does makes the dream work.

Also, apart from the B17 and G8N, I really haven’t seen anything being too tanky.

Both seem to live crazy weapons like 45mms and bigger.

My observation is that every bomber seems to still tank ridiculous amounts of punishment, even from big cannons. No matter the bombers model or size.

Edit: But luckily the pilots are still as squishy as ever. Sadly HE is now unreliable at dealing damage to the bombers, or even the pilots.

B-25s and TU-1s are pretty easy to kill if you aim a bit.

Like I just said, both fighting / using my B-25s / Tu-1

(Also A-26)

If a semi competent pilot actually aims for engines, fuel tanks, gunner, etc I’m dead.

But I survive the people that just sit on my tail and don’t move.

Currently bomber wings seem to be basically indestructible. Ju-88A tanks 5x50mm M-geschoss, so that’s essentialy 7,5kg of shells going 900m/s with 2200g of TNT total. Which is roughly an equivalent to getting hit by a goddamn 90mm HE round directly and… it just tanks it and keeps flying.
Tail falls off after 2 hits.
it’s beyond stupid.
A several of R4M to the wing doesn’t seem to do the job either.

thank you very much :)

This isn’t actually applicable in some planes like the P-61. The 37mm was designed to delete bombers by hitting them anywhere. I shouldn’t have to have when flying that thing, bombers should be, just like in real life, free one shot kills.

the “balance idea” would be completely fictional

I didn’t know there were players out there who could play with their eyes closed.

I like bombers in naval, both AI and player-controlled. More fun to hunt them or to use them after the update.

It makes the SF 40 heavy feel so much more useful now

Anyone who sails in a straight line without playing the game usually gets blown out of the water within a minute as soon as someone realizes they ain’t trying to dodge.
