Limit the usage of napalm bombs against bases by fighters

Think about it.

Instead of making polls to weaken vehicles and make the gameplay even worse, bring ideas to improve the game.

One could be to make base bombing more effective for a win (more ticket bleed).
But even then the reward system doesn’t fit.

Earning RP is not a goal of the battle. I never bombed in ARB and own almost every vehicle.
Play the game, get better, earn more.

You should never be seeking to limit options the player has access to just because the gamemodes are crappy. Ask for reworked gamemodes instead.

Why say this? You seem to imply you shouldn’t bomb when its just a gameplay decision

Some planes like F-104 also have small bomb load, would make them completely unplayable that some people paid their hard earned money for (F-104 TAF).

So you’re talking about a fighter that can’t properly do its role, isn’t that exactly what happens to attacker planes when fighters take over their job? Funny how it’s only a problem for you when it’s your fighter being affected, but not when attackers lose their unique role, which they’re specifically designed for.

Eh… Barely.

Many strike aircraft or even earlier heavy bombers have BRs that are usually dictated by their pure bomb load and their potential number of base kills, but rarely on whether or not they can reliably survive getting to a base let alone there still being a base active.

The 11.7 Tornado IDS vs Mig-23ML with Napalm for example, its hard work even getting a single base kill reliably in the Tornado and you are regularly outmatched by the fighters and multirole fighters at the same BR. But a Mig-23ML will fairly consistantly get Napalm off onto a base and has the performance to defend itself reliably

Much is the same of lower BRs such as F-5 with Napalm vs Jaguar GR1A

nerf base bonuses for fighters into the ground

Not just remove one way (rockets) and replace it with another like how napalm became the problem

As a Tornado player, this gets a resounding YES, I’m tired of MiG-21 and 23 rushing bases with napalm, fighters should get almost no rewards for bombing bases.

I havent even started on the tonka as before it was Kfir canards and now its napalm Migs. I don’t think ill start them ever at this point

I don’t like this solution, because it will penalize fighters, even if no other plane was going to bomb the base. Besides, it will not stop fighters. Just look at the planes flying with full BLU loadout despite the nerfs they get for killing just one base with this. You want to have a base for the nonfighters, not an ex-base with little credit to fighters.

So I repeat my solution, which would solve the above problem:

bases are not of a fighters concern. This is the point

no. lets not dumb down the game

I would agree with you on a 109, but not on the F-4.

My solution would still change the distribution of base revenue so that base rushing is less attractive if there is TNT competition.

the F4 is a strike aircraft like a tornado or harrier 2. this is about fighters which can carry a tub of napalm and screw over slower strike craft

because multi-role planes don’t exist

user freedom of playstyle choice should not be restricted. It’s a toxic, negative way to try to manipulate the playerbase. Simply change the gamemode to lessen the negative effects of fighters bombing such as 1. MAKE BOMBING BASES RELEVANT TO WINNING and 2. MAKE THE BASES NOT REQUIRE RACING YOUR OWN TEAM TO THEM by either increasing base count substantially or decreasing base respawn timer substantially

holy shit no it is not, it is a multi-role fighter.

sigh I’m counting multiroles as a strike craft for simplicity because they are just a strike aircraft and a fighter in one package.

Bases are there for bombers because gaijin couldn’t figure out how to make them not suck. We should be targeting AI ground units and other aircraft.

where is the US 42,000lb bomb

it was tested by a b29 even if it was made for the b36 (it could carry 2)

So we remove bases when there are no bombers present?

no bombers meaning fighters must be fighters?

I don’t know what you talk or MEME about. Until now, I though we were talking about war thunder, which has no bombers above 9.3 (in RB) or so. I also though this was a serious earnest discussion. But I guess we got you in it too.
