Changes to Bomber Survivability

Reversely, why don’t you become a moderator if you hate people disagree with you this much?

very few people complained about the one tapped bombers because everyone gave up and nobody was playing the damn bombers anymore lmao

They should bring back 1 tap bombers, just because. Who needs reasoning?

I have my best match of my WarThunder life with my BV 238

Thats actually why some people become unpaid moderators, lol

And also
say it with me guys
It was inherently bad in a pvp environment
and people are coming back for it because now it tanks fighters for days
And there is still no gamemode where bombers would be good at bombing.

Bro couldn’t even be bothered to ask grok

Literally the phrase “bread and circuses” to keep the public in check looooooooool

So, you say there was a whole ass class that was useless, no one played it, yet it existed in the game, and you find it ok just because you don’t like pve aspect?

(also, 15 years ago there was a pve aspect, I remember when maps were kinda asymmetric and had some ground units logic)

What hell of conclusion is that?
If it was useless, then introduce better pve aspects? instead of making it overpowered in the pvp sense? Gaijin actively took pve elements from the game and you’re blaming me for this?

Didn’t know i was gaijin chairman

They said they are working on new modes. Nuke Thunder showed that they are aiming for pvpve.

Then why are you looking at me like im PvE antichrist? If you want bombers to have better modes, then make suggestion for them. Not shoehorn them into PvP where not only it makes no sense for bombers to be competing with fighters but coming out on top against a whole team?

They bothered to add a dedicated pve heli mode (albeit with bad rewards), so clearly dedicated pve mode for an entire subsect of aircraft isn’t exactly new, right?

In PvPvE bomber would still have to compete with fighters, lol. No one wants a dumb PvE mode.

No, because bombers didn’t and still don’t serve any purpose in the game and contribute absolutely nothing to the gameplay value. Also, the previous model is more realistic than the current one/

I don’t understand how flying in a straight line for 10 minutes just to press the spacebar a few times is anything close to “playable” regardless of how many bullets you soak up

Well guess what? ARB in its current iteration is PvP. Not only did bomber yappers did nothing to ask for a better mode, from this thread alone its clear you all just want to shoehorn it into the current strictly PvP environment.

PvE and PvPvE are two completely different things

Sounds like they need a gameplay change or something…

I don’t understand how driving in a flank and hitting enemies with ratatatatatattaa is anything close to “playable”.

Not like it can be changed…

Like even the nuke thunder mode, as bad as it devolved to its current state, came to be because people genuinely wanted a mode that attack aircraft had more role in the game than they could be in ARB. Considering that was implemented but a new bomber mode wasn’t, it is only more clear to me that bombers don’t inherently want to change anything other than being able to kill other players in an OP aircraft.

And wanna guess why it devolved into PvP? Because more players wanted it so. There’s a reason base bombing as a victory condition no longer exists at jet tiers - a majority wanted the mode to strictly be pvp.

Have you ever played a video game before? this is what most games are like nowadays. you shoot someone. pretty big change from flying straight and watching instagram on your phone instead of playing the game.

I used to be a bomber main. I would set my bomber on course, do some math homework, check back in 5 minutes, press spacebar, die. repeat. It is this lothargic style of gameplay that you are somehow championing over actually trying to interact and engage enemy planes.

Idk, i suggested a nuke thunder for 5.0-8.3
