Meanwhile at random moments a stray .50cal from a bombers turret has enough kinetic energy at 1.5km to completely shred off a fighters wing at the wing root.
But that’s fine according to some people on here.

Did you RTB or just screenshotted a plane that will fail to RTB, complaining that he is perfectly flyable without half a tail and an engine?
The majority of Germans bombers and heavy fighters have fuel tanks in the body of the plane where the tail controls are which is why in some cases tail controls are lost.
To stop a fire in an engine, turning off the engine manually where the fire is occurring is a more effective solution.
now it feels like a bomber

Didn’t feel like a bomber before? Bombs didn’t drop or something?
and why the copilot its just dead at the start or what if the pilot die the copiitot
theoretically its able to fly the plane
If you lose your plane because of loss of the pilot, it means both the Pilot and Co-Pilot got taken out.

The trade off would be a 10-15% reduction in bomber survivability.
Pre and post patch I feel like the opposite has been the case. I could melt a B-17 with 12.7mms on a P-47D, but not kill it in return.
Post patch? 12.7mms for USA seem much more potent
In sim my buddies and I fly the B-25s and so on in formation.
It was the only way to possibly survive pre update.
Post update it will be still very viable.

I think there should be a mechanic that eliminates competition for points between bombers. So like, if they fly together, they both get points for bombing, cuz like… they are doing what is good - flying in formation and helping each other.

Hmm.
No, I can record it.
Took out two engines on a B-17 and it burnt down.
Took out an engine on a PE-8 it burnt down.
Set a wing on fire on some German bomber, it burnt down.
They’re really not that hard to kill.
And I was using the F2G-1 which only has 12.7mms.
You are more than welcome to watch me.

I think If say your squad, or perhaps another bomber, is with in 2 miles of you, perhaps it could give a 20% boost to rewards?
Flying in formation in sim is hard, especially trying to get all your buddies together for it, when the lobbies fill oddly

Same, I feel like, after the update, they slightly tuned numbers. 30-40mm HE shells can rip off a tail, fires can damage things and eventually make bomber crash. Maybe they should be 1.5x more potent, tho.
