Mine were from losing an engine and not being able to land
So dev was 52% for bombers 48 against, and now we’re at 60% for bombers and 40 against
I was doing some Ju-88A4 base bomb runs for an arcade task. I survived a heavy fighter’s barrage. Lost one engine to a fire, but one engine is sufficient to keep going. The enemy fighter was crippled and went down.
Wounder how Ju-288 will do now.
Bombers were too fragile. They always broke into pieces cause of some 50cal hits. So a buff was neccessary. For sure it was. But Gajin pushed it a bit too far :)

I like how heavy fighters like the Do 217 NJ and Ju 88 C-6 now have a meaningful role, as they are the only ones capable of engaging bombers due to their comparable durability.
I would gladly take a meta where specialized interceptors are the main option for taking down bombers, instead of being overshadowed by any high-climb-rate fighters.

Bombers are actually not that hard to kill. Just hit the engines with ap-i and leave, it’s supper easy. Some of y’all need to adapt

“B-b-b-but I can’t kill it by just shooting center mass!!! It’s too unfair!!! I actually have to be strategic about kill bombers now!!! It’s not fair!!!”

Sure, if get a attacker/bomber free only fighter mode then :D
and while at it, also a main tank mode :D
After playing with bombers and against bombers for a bit: The change is nice, but it should be nerfed a bit. While there is evidence of bombers surviving 20s and 30s, in-game these things take entire mags of those to go down.
Shouldn’t be reverted though, it’s a positive change for bombers.
As of me your messaging you now, your message have been up for around 30 minutes, and the poll have been up for around an hour, with 13 people having answered it.
That is FAR to small of a sample size of people for that statistic you mentioned about this poll having 60% for 40% against to have any meaningful representation.
dev poll was up for 2 weeks
Any poll on the forum is to small of a sample size and also heavy biased.
u want a proper poll? make it pop up ingame, not a forum where only nerds and insanes are :D
behold, dead bomber from .50s aimed at engines, fires eventually took out my controls short of the runway. its over
I am taking about this poll, which is in regards to the live server. There is a major difference here. Now people have had the chance to actually play it in random battle against people, they might have changed their minds.
jea my tu2s also lost controll after 6mins of burning and basically flying and hunting hunters till the game was over…
the main issue is many nations don’t have API-T. These usually use HE/FI instead and those simply don’t work on bombers.
Cal50 are currently the best vs. bombers. Pen is key. Bombers seem to have crazy high explosion resistance, HE shells won’t work. Just wounder why WW2 bomber hunters were all about HE cannon shells, which don’t do alot.
