I just wanted to add that the best way to get Naval kills with a Bomber is a lot like the best way to get Bomber kills in GRB.
Use a really big bomb (or a Frtiz X if you have one) and fly high up.
Big bombs like you find on the Pe-8, Wellington, Lancaster, etc increase your chances of scoring a hit when dropping from altitude. The Fritz, being guided, does the same.
As far as spawning the bomber, the best method is to open with a fast coastal vehicle and rush the cap, try your luck against the other coaster vehicles doing the same, and if you survive then go whale hunting with any torpedoes you might have.
I’d love to have a “fast track” for the challenge where it is a specific task and a more achievable by invested time “alternative” that is available in any kind of mode, whether that be kills, assists, mission score, or any other action available in any game mode, with the only requirement being “Vehicle of Rank III and above”.
This challenge was made for the B7A2 premium. A few games in naval, a few games in ground. Got the air kills along the way between the two of them, never needed an air game. It’s a pretty capable dogfighter for its BR too.
Absolutely pulling my hair out with this stupid naval bomber challenge, I’ve played 15+ matches now and have yet to be able to bomb anything, not only is it sometimes a coin flip to if you get a bomber or a strike aircraft depending on what nation BUT ALSO if you aren’t top tier you get a coin flip if your bomber is a damn tier 2 or tier 3 completely ruining the challange for you and then there’s the AA that snipes you 6+km away. Abosolutely brilliant challenge.
you know you can put your bomber in your naval lineup. play the reserve blue water and use a tier 3 bomber. Make sure you are doing naval arcade as it make bombing easier. try to pick off someone furthest away from the group, with AA fire kinda go up and down keeping them at an angle. Its still very frustrating because of the wall of AA. I hate all the challenges that need anything to do with naval and a plane. I get it that they have a bomber in the battle pass and this gives an excuse to use it, but that thing is so slow i wouldn’t even try to use it for the bp challenge even in arcade.
I used the soviet reserve and the yer 2 bomber. It took a while to get this done. This was the first time playing Soviet blue water, and well this is what it looks like after getting the challenge done.
took me two games in ground rb to get that part of the challenge done.
Hi!
We do not have any plans to exclude specific modes.
Next there will be request to remove aircraft tasks, maybe fighter tasks, because you do not play fighters (random example to show that your least fav game mode =/= someone else least fave game mode.
In that case, would the mentioned alternative of having a secondary, more time intensive task that could be completed in any mode so long as one uses a Rank III+ vehicle be worthy a consideration?
It doesn’t exclude anyone, rather it includes the entire playerbase who might not have the specific vehicles that make completing a challenge possible/plausible, and would cut down on the frustration with some of the more… let’s say “out of touch with the reality of the game” challenges.
I had to skip a bunch of these challenges, as I didn’t feel like playing tanks at the current state. Way too many challenges are optimized for Ground RB.
To be honest, I really don’t understand why gaijin still charges money to fully participate in the BP when you have all these grindy challenges and stupid daily tasks that repeat over and over. It’s been FOUR years of non-stop BPs and the same stupid daily tasks that only got grindier over time. Why do we have to pay with real money and then bend over backwards to do some of these tasks? You pay for the BP with GEs (not everybody has time to get to Level 125 and do the annoying challenges) and then you have to pay SLs to reroll daily tasks. It’s not fun having a win requirement medium task (you already spent 137,000 SLs rerolling) when you are constantly uptiered and have 6-8 losses in a row. How can you accomplish such a task? Way too many times I just exit the game, as I feel I’m wasting my time trying grinding some task I don’t feel like grinding. Instead of playing some matches, I wait for another day for a bunch of new rerolls.
We really need a big revamp of the BP with discounts for people who have purchased a specific number of BPs over the last 4 years and having more flexible tasks and challenges. This is the 16th BP, if I’m not mistaken. That’s a lot of extra money and monotone tasks. You should be able to have parallel tasks (number of kills, damage to enemy in Naval, etc.). If you cannot get the wins due to this mediocre match maker, you should be able to accomplish it by these other means.
I really wish the 2 week windows were extended for whole duration. It is a lot of fun to be busy for a month or two and miss a significant amount of challenges…
