Changes to Bomber Survivability

Well ofc its FUN… as long as u dont need to learn/grind anything.

But is it fair? NO hell NO!

Just remove infinite reload in mid air for gunners in air rb and this will fix half of the problems

First of all… remove the need of a proper crew + expert crew… the buff it gives is nothing more then insanely high compared to a lvl 10 crew…

then we talk about infinitive ammo

i watched a b26 get oneshotted by a ki109’s 75

skill issue

no, fighters have limited ammo and need to rtb to reload, while bombers in arb can just fly for 25 minutes without rtb, spawning new gunner ammo mid air

there literly only a handfull of planes with 15mm…

its called pilot snipe… or winning lottery

Which is a problem now, as the 15 mm now can be more effective than 20 mm in killing bomber.

havent tried, but i can tell you that 20mm APHE into the cockpit is a serius thread. (unless the bomber has brain and dosnt headon/let you shoot at his front)

You must be talking about bomber pilots who have never had to learn anything.

But now the average fighter pilot is expected to use skills and tactics to take down a bomber, which can be piloted with one hand while picking your nose.

Ironic

If you think a Cold War era TU95 can shrug off 6 direct hits from surface to air missiles like it’s nothing you are essentially telling me that I shouldn’t take you seriously.

lottery? lol

Of course anyone can shoot down a bomber, eventually.

But the issue arises when you lok at the balancing of effort per kill.

Fighter vs fighter, even against an average pilot it takes some skill, maneuvering and proper tactics from you to win the dogfight without being hit.

Fighter vs bomber, the fighter pilot must use skill, maneuvering and tactics to take down the bomber. But the bomber pilot isn’t required to use any to take down the fighter. To avoid being hit/damaged in your fighter, the bomber pilot has to be afk/braindead.

That is not what happened in the matches I played today. They flew just fine like nothing happened.

This is not what happened in the matches I played yesterday (your today), they crashed. All of them crashed.

Are you playing GRB?
Honestly curious, because that’s not how they behaved in the matches I played.

OK, it’s actually quite bad in Test Flight; the structure failed before the flight stability. They seem to have accounted the ECM protection rate in the DM.

Never have.

Are you trying to de-rail the conversation off-topic just because you don’t like what i say?

Test flights aren’t actual matches.
