Changes to Bomber Survivability

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.

It is more like a relic mechanic made before range finder mechanic for ground vehicles is implemented. It would be fine if players can choose which turret to fire like multi turret tank would.

Nah i didn’t actually, i argued that it’s silly to demand people to use skills, tactics and finesse, to take down something that requires none of those things.

Your victim mentality is strong, and your ability to completely ignore what is said and twist it for your own good is on another level.

You showed us to used a bomber to take down another bomber in a fighter fighting way, doesn’t that took skill?

It took zero skill, at no point did i feel like i was taking any sort of risk using the B-26B nor was i actually worried about the 109Z or the 190 A-4. Because, believe it or not, i was in a bomber with a busted damage model

I find it hilarious people on here and on Reddit are saying this should be nerfed because it’s all based on survivor bias. They are literally falling for survivor bias. The point is that all those planes did come back, so the question is why didn’t the others come back?

But you did use a bomber to shoot down another bomber, how do you shot down another bomber with busted damage model while those two fighters cannot shoot you down?

Eh, what the actual f are you saying?

How can you shoot down another bomber with an equally busted damage model, while two enemy fighters cannot shoot you down? Isn’t that skill?

Because i can sit in his turret fire and soak it without much of a risk in the B-26B, and shoot enough to damage him to where he goes down? Something that fighters cannot do, and risk actual flight performance with every pass, unlike the B-26B.
There you go, the obvious answer, written down just for you.
