hello!
i gave on the Lancaster grind.
it’s really hard to grind it very very slow bomber and enemy team reach to me before i can do something to bases :/
Should i GE it or skip it and get the lincoln ?
i see Lincolon have better defense but the issue it’s at 6.0 br
i tried spawning at af and it’s so slow most games end fast or i get killed from striker planes and i also turn away from enemy but the catch me
if you have any tips i be thankful :D
grind it in GRB
i bought with GE it !
ground rb grind did not work am hoping the 6.0 lincoln B could be better the 20mm guns are good.
thanks for the tip.
Arcade works ok, even with british bombers.
The Lincoln probably has better flight performance and better defence than the Lancaster… BUT you’re going to face a lot of jets.
just don’t play bombers, they’re miserable. If u really wanna suffer, u gotta avoid the battle zone completely and go off to one side of the map so u don’t get spotted an intercepted. It’s mostly luck if u reach bases or not
i gave on it long time ago the amount of stress the Lancaster gave me it’s not healthy to use at this br it’s so awful to stock grind.
Just dive and head to the objective points at near wings breaking speed on air rb, don’t bother waste time trying to avoid fighters who come after your ass. Drop your bombs then j out/crash and start your next match. About 6/10 times I was able to drop the bombs doing something like this and each run you will take out one base which you earns around 1000 mission score so you make good rp to unlock parts, like you unlocked one modification part per match if you have premium. The times I can’t make it was I got taken out by fighters before I reach the objective points or some strike aircraft got there first so I have find another base. That’s how I unlocked the 12k pounds bomb. It was years ago so I don’t remember the rest.
Don’t waste your time with the basics at the beginning.
Just fly low towards the ground towards the objective you’ll almost never reach. Try to lure as many enemies as possible towards you and drop the bombs with a 2-second delay.
That’s usually what I do to upgrade a bomber; you can get several kills easily with the bombs.
You don’t - you will always die in a night bomber playing a daytime game with many more fighters than it ever faced in reality, and who all see you as an easy kill.
There is no game mode where this will not happen.
that said - there are tactics to try to maximise your score in the short time you will exist:
1/ in Air AB use a backup - play the same plane twice
2/ In Air AB use another plane first - don’t bring it on until most of the furball is at lower altitudes
3/ hit whatever you can ASAP - this will mainly mean hitting the AI ground units rather than bases. In Air RB this might be fast enough that you can even get some points from landing!
4/ in arcade you can improve your pathetic climb rate by dropping your bombs ASAP - and keep doing so until you are ready to drop them in anger - make sure you don’t hit your own bases!!
Like most bombers, your objective is to avoid the center of the map in general.
Here are some steps for you:
1- Open up a bombchart spreadsheet (look it up in the forums if you need to, since it will tell how much bombs you need per base)
2-sideclimb at 10 degrees until 6km or so, or until you start to emit a contrail(in that case drop some alt until you stop)
3-sneak your way in and drop, most fighters would have dropped their altitude by now
Now… 2 routes
4A-you ran out of bombs → shallow dive unto your main airfield, land and leave, you’ll never make a second bombing run.
4B- ran out bases but still have bombs → keep loitering around(around 6km away from where the bases were located and if you want keep climbing) and wait 5-7 minues for them to respawn, once all your payload is gone return to step 4A.
Entire run will take maybe 5-10 minutes and a blind hunt may pop during your return to your airfield or loitering around(the last one is a pretty bad for you)
Bomber gameplay is just planning and pray someone doesn’t lock onto you from 10km away.
They’ll insult too from prolonging the game, don’t mind them.
