I mean he did exactly what I expected most people to do thats been playing for awhile, and I don’t fault him I just rather him to direct his frustrations at the more underlining issue. That issue being that fighters and interceptors still shattered too pieces, and when gaijin fixes that then we can “help” refine the bomber models.
From my pov there are two ways to look at this prediction:
- Gaijin messed up and will tone it down
- Gaijin chose this way deliberately
From a holistic perspective you have actually way more indicators for point 2. I mean we had for more than 6 months the unkillable CANT Z 1007 in wt Air RB and the long trend shows an ever increasing pressure for an enforced “arcadification” of Air RB to a glorified Air AB+.
From my pov the in-game data (like who benefits the most within the player base) will together with their SL/RP income projections for specific player groups decide what happens.
If my assumption (new players benefit more than veterans) is correct things might be slightly adjusted but the general direction will remain on this path.
The reason is obvious:
-
As a provider of a video game with an ultra-strong grinding component you have to ensure that newer players can progress with minimal efforts through the lower BRs into the way more profitable jet segment.
-
Pre-update prop-Air RB required even from experienced long term players very high efforts to use a rather simple tool like base bombing as the game meta was ultra hostile towards bombers.
-
From a pure economic pov it is way smarter to adjust parameters which increase retention levels for newer players than for veteran players - so i would bet that the current situation will remain in place if gaijin’s data would prove that they are on track.

If it was 2 then yeah full disapointment to whoever greenlit it
All I see is a player needing to be coddled cause they can’t learn to aim. If he’s as experienced as his profile shows he is, he should be able to adapt instantly, as I did.
This is the same issue I have with top-tier ground. There’s no skill in point-and-click gameplay. Bring back skill to War Thunder.
And for you, stop being rash for one moment. Not everything is malicious. Seriously, how DARE people want to use something that isn’t a light fighter for once?
Could it be that Gaijin wanted to shift the meta realistically in their game and actually make Interceptors, heavy fighters, light bombers, frontline bombers, and heavy strike aircraft useful again, all in one patch? Of course not. You see malice in everything, as directed by your ad hominem-riddled breakdown, which subtly considers anyone who doesn’t want to use “meta light fighters” a “handheld noob,” as seen by your statements such as “enforced Arcadification” and “progress with minimal effort”, which you use to diminish the quality of gameplay for heavier bombers.
It’s always “patch is for noobs” when the game gets harder, when in reality it’s making it harder for “noobs” to slap an enemy with a single 20mm bullet and chop their B-29 in half.
The only people complaining about this update are the people who can’t do anything but spam their entire magazine into one spot and claim “OP”. Every single clip provided shows that same gameplay. Have some backbone and return to basics. Learn how to actually fight and stop relying on handheld “tail cut loose” and “wing break” mechanics that are outliers in reality and basically never happen.
Treating newer players and those who choose bomber gameplay over fighter gameplay as lessers is a horrifically scummy behavior, and I will not tolerate this borderline classist behavior from you. What a person wishes to play does not make them less of a player than you.
It was me
Im well aware where i was shooting, i did it on purpose, i recorded this to show to unrealistically durable the wing root is.
AP on both the 13mm and 20mm guns.
To take out the gunners to have better ability to get into position and demonstrate the unrealistically durable wing root.
Yes, i was very low on ammo and decided to pilot snipe him.
Im not, see above. And i already know how to.
I do.
Don’t need to, already know.
I agree. But should that apply to the pilot as well? Because even though you think you know me, i point and click bomber regularly.
Thanks i don’t need the lesson.
You won’t believe what im about to say. See above. And this might surprise you.
Whole 11 years. And what you expected wasn’t right. Sorry.
Boy the assumptions about me are running rampant today. Maybe tone down the personal insults?
Also;
All that was to demonstrate how even full AP loadout with that many hits on the same ~3x3 meter area, doesn’t catastrophically damage the wing structure at the root, to a point where in addition to the damage the aerodynamic forces doesn’t rip off the wing. What do you think?
I hope that we could keep the discussion civil, without insulting ones skill level, making assumptions about them or anything of the sort.
On a very important side note so that there’s no misconceptions; i do not expect bombers to be taken down as easily as pre-patch. But i think the current state is overdone. Im simply trying to discuss it.
