I don’t really get how gunners are no skill, but mouse-aim planes are yes skill. In SB I agree, bomber gunners are no skill, compared to what normal planes have to do there. But in RB… Aren’t they like… the same?
Bombers in general are low to no skill, fly towards a bombing target, hit bomb release a few times on time, return and land.
Now it takes no skill to kill fighters either, but fighters are expected to use skill and tactics to shoot down a bomber, all while being peppered with counterfire that can take off your wing in a single hit

So… when fighters were able to pepper bombers with 7.62 fire and take off its wing it was ok, but now it isn’t because you don’t see bomber gameplay as a gameplay?
Someone on russian forum said that his tail on b-29 fell off with 5 hits of 37mm, contrary to 20 hits that were before, at the first day of new update.
And my er-2 collapsed too much this evening… I wonder if we will see a post about this at monday, saying they tuned the DM. I am kinda sad, it was fun to try to intercept them with I-225… Hope they did not overdone it and bombers won’t die in two spraying runs…
You really think people would think you just genuinely
after you saying all these:

All that quoting, and only thing that had an actual demand, was the one where i wanted them to be tuned a bit. Which is a reasonable want in my opinion. You just see what i wrote, and think automatically i want them to be back to the way they were, or close to it.
I try to have some common sense into the balancing, instead of seeing just 2 possibilities; current state and pre-patch buff.
I know your brain might be able to comprehend only 2 options, but i think there’s more.

How many approaches should a fighter do to 100% destroy a bomber, in your opinion?
Approach is like, 1-2 seconds of spraying from 6, followed by evasion of bullets.
I hardly play them outside of GRB, true.
So as someone with little to no knowledge in them, i shouldn’t be able to do this, with no knowledge in bombers, correct? Just played this match in a stock B-26B
Kills were 109Z that hit me quite a lot, FW190 A-4 that also got some hits into me, and an Me264

Just flew out the B-26B. I had a 109Z maneuver with me, hit me probably 30+ times with 30mm shells. I was able to fly and maneuver without issues and take him out while maneuvering, using my gunners. Don’t know how many times a goshdarn B-26B should be hit by those guns in your opinion to cause even damage that makes it hard to maneuver
Half of your statement was made for pre pre DM buff bomber.

Since reading comprehension is difficult for you, i rather not continue answering to you. Because all it is you’re quoting right now is me trying to explain MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BEFOREHAND, AND WHY I AVOIDED BOMBERS EVEN THEN. In reference to you saying bomber gunners are somehow useless, and have always been.
My guy, bombers are thee easiest plane to kill. even now after the buff
Ragebait
eh kinda. they still cant manuver and are the slowest “usually”. Its not hard to get into a position to take one out.

Wanna test that theory, i’ll hop into let’s say the B-17G, and you take out any 5.0 fighter/attacker and show me how easy it is, before i kill you. Im more than ready to be proven wrong. I get the 4km+ spawn altitude and you start from the spawn assigned to said plane type you choose to use.
Sure
You will get annihilated by someone who can aim the turrets before you even process the amount of damage your salvo did, especially if you are facing against a G8N1 (which has the same DM preset as the Tu-95 and B-52, making it pretty much unkillable at the br with death star laser turrets that have no blindspots) or Qing-6 (also takes one burst to saw off any attacking planes wing)
You want me to use any specific planes actually? kinda wanna test the different calibers as well if your down
Take a look for yourself, a fuel tank was on fire for maybe 10 seconds before it went out. No EFS either, since stock plane. Rear gunner is A-OK, even though you can see the damage to his glass and the actual gun mount too.
Plane was as maneuverable as without damage, even though i think there should be some difficulties with damage shown
