Changes to Bomber Survivability

The picture you previously show that all your gunner beside your tail gunner was killed, who killed those gunners? The Fw-190 A4 or the Bf 109Z. Can you see the possibility that the damage model of tail gunner is stronger than that of the fuselage?

The 109Z most likely, if memory serves. Don’t see the relevance to the durability argument, i still had my tail gunner which was used to take out both of them.
Edit: And my flight performance wasn’t affected in any meaningful way.

Bf109Z is MK108 FW190 A4 is MG 151/20 and MG FF. Your fuselage gunners are positioned in front of the tail gunner. The enemy shell should hit the tail gunner before hitting them. If every part of the plane have same durability, the tail gunner should die first

I agree, the tail gunner should’ve died, as is evident by the damage on the screenshot. A lot of damage to the tail gunners position, and the gun mount, but he was able to fire.

What’s your point?

You see the glass have higher durability than aluminium and should be fix right . What is the enemy countries are you fighting against?

I play every nation? I’m really trying to understand what you’re trying to get at, but having a hard time. I mean no offense, but is this relevant anymore?

What are the enemy countries you were fighting against in that match lol

I don’t see how that’s relevant to the topic of this thread?

Because planes from different countries used the set of guns and ammo of that countries.

But shouldn’t all countries be able to deal with bombers as effectively, with the planes they are given?

Only the Allied one now because they have API with better pen in prop planes BR.

So you agree that the current bomber damage models make the game unbalanced?

Always

Try to fly an Axis bomber next time. They should remove the pen damage block of the bomber DM one way or another.

Yep, I agree that this is the current problem. You can clearly see in armor analysis that a few mm of protection can block 3 or 4 times that amount of pen. It’s just wrong.

No ammo? The battle will end soon? The latest enemy is already landing on his field?!

Ramming is the weapon of heroes!

Bombers buff aren’t working really well against naval, unfortunately. Especially top-tier naval.

In first day it worked really well, idk, maybe they changed something.

They will evaporate as soon as they spawn.

Whaat, I was able to fly perfectly with my er-2 and tu-2, bombed many ships.

I’ll try today, maybe they really nerfed them again, welp.

You’re going to have to fly really high to survive, but if the players got some really good AA on their battleships, you’re going to get evaporated.
