Nuke B29 spawning from airfield is stupid

while a breeze to kill

it’s not

I might have thought that the bracket went just a tad higher to 8.7 or so, but what really is false and uneducated is thinking a treetop scraping b29 is anything but food.

It literally gives no reward other than how cool it looks and a tiny SL reward. It does not have to be close to impossible to pull off.

I haven’t been shot down once in my various (15) B-29/Tu-4 nukes. In fact, I’ve been shot down twice on my nukes at higher BRs, and also I have shot down many people with the B-29/Tu-4 (6 people).

So I dunno, seems pretty educated and true to me. Plus, the whole point of a nuke carrier over a missile or auto spawn is that you are supposed to be able to counter it. Again, this is achieved by having the plane spawn at tree top level on the airfield. If you are that concerned about fighters, use your 220+mph spawn speed to climb a bit before leveling. But their is no reason to have the plane spawn at 2000m+. Their simply isn’t.

It gives a win, which if you are losing means that you just gained an extra like 40% in SL and RP rewards which is huge. So it’s definitely not nothing.

It’s really not- if you know anything about using your gunners, their are very few planes at those BRs that will really be an issue for you. And, that’s assuming they don’t just continue to groundpound, something I’ve seen happen on numerous occasions.

The only thing that is “easy prey” is if you are unaware of incapable of aiming, in which case, skill issue.

I disagree. It literally is what ends the game instantly. I don’t want uncontested game endings.

That’s cool, want me to like, show you how easy it is to not let you get a nuke off? We’ll do an exercise. You just have to make it to the map while I sit in any single engine plane at the BR.

That’s cool, want me to like, show you how having a counter is good for game balance? Or how easy it is to use your gunners to not get shot down? Or use your brain and not spawn in a nuke while their is enemy cover up?

Having a counter wasn’t what we were talking about, it was being just food to that counter with no counterplay. btw, gunners don’t prevent deaths… if a fighter is competent enough you cant prevent that

Then why are people still making it to drop them? I see enough videos online to know it’s still working out.

videos online…

ever heard of the term cherry picking?

First off, you aren’t food. Learn to aim your gunners.

Also, counters definitely were a part of the conversation, seen here

Again, not up to the bomber pilot to decide if he wants to die or not. It is up to the fighter pilot to be bad enough to not kill the bomber.

That’s literally what gunners are for, what?

Also, if you don’t want to die, there is always the option of not spawning the nuke. If you are losing that bad that you need to spawn it and you get shot down, then it sounds like you were bound to lose anyway. If you were winning; you were bound to win.

If Gaijin wanted the nukes to be end all be all, they would have made them spawn in right above the battlefield auto dropped, like a missile or something. But they didn’t, intentionally.

I guess you’re not skilled enough to understand why this is the case and I’m not really in the mood of explaining.

I guess your not skilled enough to A. Know when to spawn a nuke and B. Defend yourself from enemy fighters.

But I’m not really in the mood of explaining.

Damn, I’ll give you a hint. It has to do with Newton’s first law and the interaction it has with…bullets!

Usually your arguments are pretty good. This is not the finest form I’ve seen you in - also not one I thought you would be on the side you are lol…

Let’s all just agree to leave them on the airfield?

Quite honestly I do not care. I have gotten over explaining very basic concepts to people who should know better with their level of experience. Anybody worth their salt knows why bombers, ESPECIALLY ones as slow and large as the b29s; are not able to decide the outcome of duels with fighters.
