I don’t think it’s right to be selective and cherry-pick which aircraft get the survivability buff (the Me 410 interceptor gets it, but the Me 410 ground attacker doesn’t). Otherwise, it just feels random.
It should be based only on the aircraft’s dimensions and structure, with proportional buffs across the board.
There are no other variants of the TIS MA in the game.
I think he meant that if only the Interceptor Me410 gets it, but the ground attacker doesn’t, it feels random.
Literally people who said that tu-95 “tanked 6 missiles” or something. This “tanking” is always “I hit him once and he did not evaporate, so I sent 5 more into his already falling body to be surprised that there is no “aircraft destroyed” text yet, so I get mad that I did an overkill!”
I’d add weight to that as well as it can also be indicative of the size of an aircraft.
And +1 for the proportional buffs. Smaller attackers/bombers shouldn’t be as strong as Lancasters or B-24s, but they should be stronger than single engine fighters.
It’s not bad that the TIS MA got a buff; after all, it’s almost as large as a Pe-2 bomber, so it shouldn’t have the same durability as a single-engine fighter. What makes no sense is that this specific plane got the buff while something like the P-61, which is even larger, didn’t…
Well i must have missed the post where that was said. And surely it’s not always like you describe.
Anyways, sounds weird that people who are shooting missiles at a bomber, would need “passes” against that bomber. Like was talked about in the post i replied to.
1-2 missiles are enough, the bomber will fall anyway. Only if you want a hard kill you can send everything, even yourself into an enemy bomber and then it will evaporate in mid air.
If they’re going to buff bomber durability, then it would make sense to also adjust the game rules accordingly. Just buffing bomber durability without making any other changes would be proof of Gaijin’s incompetence. As it stands, ARB is overflowing with bombers.
Because it’s a twin engine aircraft, people often get the wrong idea, but the TIS MA isn’t that large of a plane. It’s roughly the same size as the P-38. Compared to the P-61 or Bf 110, the TIS MA is a considerably smaller and lighter aircraft.
