Not sure if anyone at Gaijan read history books but B17’s were not employed as low level ground attack planes. They have no business been classed as a CAS.
everything that can fly can be a cas in the game. and history doesnt matter

I do find it ridiculous how a heavy bomber can wipe out half the team on a single pass. Its a broken game mechanic.

There are quite a few examples of heavy bombers being used tactically and even at low level. Operation Cobra, the Ploiești oil fields raid, etc.
Its just a game dude.

It’s just the game. Bombers can be used as CAS even if their doctrines and design aren’t meant to do that.

“broken game mechanic” literally the weakest class of vehicles in all of Warthunder. You not even complaining about Pe-8 or Lancaster, you complaining abt a damn B-17.
