Changes to Bomber Survivability

Well, I think of this:

So like, when bombers fly together they get “cover points” and when any of them earns a reward for bombing - they both get reward, just in different quantity. And when any of them kills a plane - they get more reward for defending an ally. And also when enemy finally destroys any of them - the enemy gets waaaay more reward for that, so like, attacking grouped targets could be more valuable.

I know flying anything with a 15mm or bigger is pretty easy to kill a bomber by blowing its wing apart, maybe this isn’t applicable to all of them…
But in my experience they do great work.

The worst update ever. The only good thing is that bombs no longer explode so easly if hit. Bombers now are overpowered, destroying them is just inefficient in terms of exp and SL gain. Yea, I don’t play bombers, I used to hunt them. I don’t find flying 5 minutes to target, dropping payload and repeating entertaining, it’s just boring.
And one would think that if Ju 188 eats through entire mag of 20 mm, similar in size He 219 would do the same, right? Nah, wings rip off like they used to do. What is that, some kind of reverse pay-2-win, when premium aircraft is worse and less refined than normal one?
Also maybe check how AAMs worked on planes…

is He-219 a bomber?

no = no bomber buff, unless its a derivative of a bomber

why dont you show us a clip and ,teach" us how to do it then?
i know youll take multiple approaches to get a clean kill

even if you aim at the wingtip you need multiple approaches and alot of ammo to kill it unless you aim at the engines and let it burn out or aim at the pilot to kill it instantly

even with the Ruhrstahl X4 missiles 90% of the time you get either a hit or a crit, youre only really able to oneshot it if you aim at the tail part

good thing is that the Ju388 (worst plane if flown in wt before the update)
is now very good, youre able to tank some damage, and since you have schräge musik youre able to attack from below where the british bombers have no defensive weapons at all

Watched a Fw 200 (a repurposed civilian airliner, btw) take at least 6x 75mm HE shells to be brought down

great update!

Need to remove the new damage model or nerf the USSR, TIS-MA, Su-8, and other GRB CAS planes. Just saw the Spookston video.

I was testing the 50mm HE of the Me 262 and was easier to destroy the M22 than the B-29

Edit: forgot to mentioned that it didn’t burn or start a fire in there, where the FUEL is

The spars of those B29s are 4 inches of cold rolled steel.

Don’t remove it. Adjust it instead.

Reverting to the previous damage model and making all 250 bombers unplayable again shouldn’t even be considered.

so you are gonna tell me about the spar when there is a HOLE where the fuel should be, fuel that also should explode because… idk those are like 420g of HE? a round that what i understand in the card and what you said, should still do more damage? because i only got a hit, no engine crit, no fuel leak, no burn, no cable cut

Was a reference.

did some testing, people are making it seem worse than it is.
did higher calibers cus that is what people seem to care about

You miss the part when they shoot you from 2k and at the same time you can’t aim well the 50mm, also you hit one of them in the bomb bay so that one was the APHE

dark souls roll

use APHE 😁
besides never said this was pure HE

This “fix” makes certain BR ranges of GRB unplayable! Some bombers and attack aircraft are virtually un-killable. When I play GRB it’s because I want to play ground vehicles. Not because I want to get bombed repeatedly by an invulnerable TU95 with 5000lb bombs or get killed repeatedly by a TIS MA that I have personally set on fire at least 4 times that hasn’t even needed to go back to the airfield.

They were slightly too weak before and now they are just way too resistant to damage. I’ve seen some take multiple direct hits from SAMs.

Me 262 30mm trajectory is bad…

In my defense, I am in my dorm and my desk is really small, I am semi sick too
