Changes to Bomber Survivability

Yet Waffles here, champion of bandaids, was lit on fire multiple times and those don’t persist until the very last one.

And it’s pretty clear fires are very inconsistent and favors heavily on API belts. And they also take forever to actually cripple a plane completely.

For a fighter, that’s 30 seconds. But bombers can shrug off whole minutes with fire. Because fire is fundamentally tick damage, and what does bombers have? Artificial HP pools! Which works against fires!

war thunder is a PVP game. it hasn’t been anything else for 10 years.
if gaijin cared so much about PVE gameplay why haven’t they introduced a new mode that makes it enjoyable to do?
if you think war thunder is fun for its PVE game style then you are delusional

This is why i keep saying, if bomber players actually wanted fun in good faith, they’d be asking for better, alternative modes. That they asked for a health buff when ARB is essentially (and still is) team deathmatch, just goes to show that they want something to drop against fighters instead.

It should reverse, it should able to shrug off API not German shell

in other words it was close to okay the way it was, with them being a just bit too fragile to cannon fire.

heres a few

But that’s the reality right? HE/FI does barely any damage because they rely on spreading damage, and those work horrible against something with large HP pools.

“a bit too fragile” my brother in christ, some dude posted a pre update video where he pulls up beside b17s in a yer 2 with a singular 20mm and genuinely ONE TAPS ALL 3 OF THEIR TAILS OFF. WAYYY TOO FRAGILE

The previous state of bombers are genuinely not ok in any capacity

I remember your first response to being hit with 9 missiles is “im crippled actually” when not only was your bomber still level flying until the last hit, but this thread also have plenty of examples of people flying with a full blacked plane.

That doesn’t sound like someone aware of the term overperformance.

Tell me why should a B-17 be able to tap off the wing of any fighter with a singular .50cal bullet?

you seem obsessed with getting blacked :P

And you want people to take you seriously btw

because they too are too fragile, which gaijin said that these changes are just the beginning, and once its fine tuned itll work its way down.

bombers waited 10 years, fighters can wait 1

Ah… when was the last time they said that?

Not like there’s a whole bucket of things they said they’ll fine tune then take ages to do so… right?

Like I said, you’re gaijin’s finest defender.

I’d like to know why they removed the distance fuze from big rockets in all silence?
Because they take skill and go against the dumbification agenda currently going on

we were able to tell that

ok, then wait 2 years lol

bombers were paper mache soaked in gasoline held together with explosive bolts whilst being coated in nitroglycerin for a DECADE.

About damn time ive had the chance to limp a wounded bird back home again and fly some formations with some old friends, seriously
