Changes to Bomber Survivability

Where do you get this statistic? The people on this thread are a representative sample of the playerbase.

As much as 100 polled people is a representation of the national population

meaning what?People expect to shoot bombers randomly and cripple in 239123 parts
Even now,it gives bombers enough time to bomb a base then slowly crash down,i rather have this than getting one tapped by 1 micro bullet

Literally don’t need to read much to see that this is not what people want.

Yeah me too, but this applies to when i approach a bomber in a single engine fighter as well

Urgh,i dont know…at higher tiers i still getting one tapped by missiles cause the missiles hits my tail and it just implodes…and i was using the Tu95 by the way
At least they are usable now,you can actually do 3 / 4 things before dying so yeah,i want bombers to stay like this

Cause i mean,sure…the bombers doesnt come apart in a trillion parts but regardless they stop being responsive to commands
Tho the buff on attackers planes is weird…

But why russian ground attackers have been buffed? Theyre unstoppable now. They instakill every tank and SPAA vehicle with one short burst, while they’re tanking all kind of ground fire and fighters on their six on top. Its funny when they instagib tanks which are actually fully armored, while they can’t be downed. Are russian attackers and bombers in general better than tanks now?

It doesn’t make any sense.

Perhaps you should play matches at 3.7-5.7 against bombers, and you might change your mind from keeping them in this state.

I just played a match and watched as 4 BV238’s circled our airfield for 5 minutes, 3 of them survived, one died to a PB4Y. They took out most of the airfield AAA around 2 and half minutes into the shenanigans. But of course it’s not the bomber damage models overperforming, must the airfield AAA being underpowered. Oh but wait, other planes die to the airfield AAA just like before.

They gonna implement higher caliber interceptors and rework the dmg model of such guns,give it time…

I agree with this one totally,its literally prime Yak-9 story but worse with the TISMA or whatever is called

Already did when I was respading my spitfires earlier. Half~ my engagements were B-17s and Qing-6.

No issue

Still completely ignorant and fine with bombers overperforming. New vehicles are gonna take longer than it is feasible to wait for them. The issue is the damage model overperforming, not the lack of counters for bombers

I mean,if people die from bomber gunners,its a you fault,you can kill the gunners and the pilot with ease even with smaller guns,if you stand still behind a bomber thats a you fault,hit and bail exists,most bombers are just too heavy and chunky to properly move around

What they gonna do anyway?Evade?Barely can turn 3 degrees left or right

No need to use insults. YOU need to learn to accept that not everyone agrees with you, and you will NEVER get everyone to agree with you. No matter how many times you repeat yourself, over, and over, and over, and over, and over. Especially in this thread.

Just because YOU feel like you are “right” does NOT mean you are right.

Its just the basics,if you actually flown a diversity of bombers you would know that even if you get hit by stuff you lose control of your plane over time,sure you still count as an alive player but for long,ive survived over 14 Fox 3’s in Nuclear Thunder in my B52H and for what,i couldnt control my plane after the first hit,i was just going down very slowly so i was dead anyway

But if no one says anything opposing the people who say the current state of the bombers is fine, it will be seen as things being fine the way they are.

Or should everyone who feels things are not okay the way they are, just stay silent and accept it?

It’s a 2-way street my friend. You should extend this and tag everyone here who has opposing views to someone else.

I have not insulted anyone in this thread who I disagree with. You are trying to blame shift, instead of apologizing for your attitude, or editing your post.

Grow up.

Strange, as you focus on players more than the bomber itself

Guys I would like to remind everyone that they’re to debate the the topic not the user nor are you to challenge them to a duel when said debate doesn’t go your way.

Thinking your right =/= being right.

They just need to remove the APHE like before and there will be zero issues.

As for how real they are, they did infact mount the 45mms but the recoil would be immense. It probably wouldn’t be as bad as the Yak-9K due to them being heavier, but there would be a lot of forces/issues that aren’t modelled in WT.


What do we think, should the survivability be extended to heavy interceptors such as the Me410 and other variants of the same plane? Tail getting detached by a singular 20mm HE shell. Seems somewhat fragile for a plane designed to go after allied heavy bomber formations
