Changes to Bomber Survivability

Sounds like escalation mode. It should be extended to lower BRs, really.

I can already imagine like, 3 more BR brackets.
7.0-8.3 with early jets, s-25 ana mim-4 (iirc) SAM systems, with flaks on airfields and dumb radarless spaa everywhere else. 20% smaller map. Highest escalation will unlock il-28 and other low rank nuke carriers.

Then 5.0-6.7 with flak sites with radars and spotlights and radarless spaa everywhere else. Highest escalation will unlock first nukes on tu-4 and b-29 which could destroy airfields easilly. Maps are 50% smaller.

Then 3.0-4.7 rank 3 escalation… With just dumb radarless spaa, highest escalation level will unlock pe-8 and lancasters with big bombs. Maps are 50% smaller.

Sorry, i left out of my post that this should be something that all BR ranges have.

I feel like bombers are ok at 1-2 ranks, really. They have targets to bomb there with small bombs.

So even if said mode started at rank 4 it would be great

Why not have the option for all BR’s to those people who want longer matches, and don’t care about getting into an engagement 2 minutes into the match. We had an EC mode in RB every now and then back in the day. I loved it. But i guess it wasn’t popular because people want short time-to-engagemnt instead of longer battles where you have to fly for a while and actually find the enemies.

I stand behind what I said lol. Shit like this should be tested by the people making changes

And this was tested on the dev server as well. By players, and most said “Oh this is broken but it’s not gonna be the final version, this is just the dev server”
That aged well

This has been a thing for a good while now. Can’t say for sure when it was added.

you gently move the mouse and align it with the horizon or the enemy plane

works perfectly fine

You’re the pilot, which bombers IRL had the pilot aim the guns too? Better remove that.

you can also land without tail control in MANY aircraft btw it really isn’t that hard, so not even removing tail control/elevator is guaranteed to work

Did you just roach out from making a constructive criticism and go straight back to appealing to ad hominem against other people? That is why I said you being disingenuous to say what you want is to

or just

When you are given a choice to provide constructive criticism to the current situation that you said you want to criticise, the first thing you choose to do is to attack other players.

Is this look fine to you? Instead of hitting where the crosshair is pointing, the turret is shooting at another point on a fixed-size sphere that’s currently underground.
PS: There is gun smoke below the fuselage

Sure, give me functional AI turret gunners.

It’s more of an inconsistency than anything else, my friend got hit by 4 missiles yesterday on his Tu-95 and he sponged all of them.

At this point you are just trying to pick and choose from all of my replies the quotes that fit your current mission of making me look bad in any way possible.

YOU are indeed not providing anything constructive. Just critiquing people.

How is it disingenuous of me to criticize and give feedback on the situation, while as a side note criticize the people who aren’t giving anything constructive to the topic, but ONLY attacking people who have opposing or different view on the situation?

I don’t think you have actually commented on anything else about me, except the hand-picked quotes from posts where i have criticized or given feedback on the subject.

Maybe it’s time for you to look in the mirror, before accusing me of ad hominem towards other people?

This is not constructive, it’s demanding. Sound like something you accused me of?
And this is also the entitlement i was talking about, wanting more so you have to do less than others ie. fighter players. For the same reward of course

One shot when it hit the wing fuel tanks. Not one shot when hit tail:

Right, in other words, broken.

Yes, what’s the issue? Flexible gun mounts always add inaccuracy and jitter.

I just provide evidence showing where the turrets aiming mechanism is broken.

Nah I just criticised you for using attacking players that play bombers to argue that the current DM is overperforming.
