Bombing in anything other than a fast fighter jet is almost impossible at anything above 8.0 with it just being a race to see who can get there first. Now they you “Fixed” bases actually re spawning most games end way before any bomber even gets the chance to actually hit their target in an air battle.
There are so many suggestions to actually make these planes viable, like speeding up base re spawns, tactical bombing targets just for strike aircraft and bomber, personal bombing targets, making a strategic bombing target with infatuate health that all the bombers can hit in formation like a factory or military base.
But, in my opinion at this current state of the game these dedicated bombers and any future bigger bombers to be added are completely useless in Air RB now that bombing has just become, who can race to the 4 targets the fastest. I feel like this drastically limits what these aircraft can do and makes playing them incredibly frustrating.
Your only option as a bomber in the current state of the game is to:
1: Be faster than everyone else (so usually just a fighter with napalm)
2: Pray no one hits the base your going for
3: Team kill to make sure you get the base
4: Hope the game lasts long enough for a base to re spawn and that no one takes it out before you get there
5: Use a bomber or strike aircraft as a fighter and struggle fighting against dedicated fighter.
So basically bombing is clearly broken with only fighters having the ability to do anything in air realistic, and bombers are being forced to act as fighters leading to people seeing bombers as useless and a drain on the team and, bombers not getting rewards or being able to do anything.
