Why not use the system in place for sim with modules.

not only would i prefer the 30 seconds or faster timers but id also like to see MORE bases and a larger variety of base types take increased damage from a certain weapon type so we add some variety in there

What.
That is already done. Smaller explosives work better per unit TNT.

Why did they change this and make it so bad.
All extending the base time does is make people team kill more or quit the game. It doesn’t stop people from bombing and its definitely not the way to make people want to do something else.
I always hear this “team kill stuff” but I don’t witness it. I also think it is a bad idea to give in to “terrorists”.
Can someone please update me? Are Air RB bases respawning or not? Cause a while ago they didn’t respawn at all.

For you said a lot of this kind of “I dont see it so it’s not exist”, there’s a replay that show me be teamkill on a Ju 288.
I am sure it happens sometimes. But if it were such a major issue as some people make it sound, I should have witnessed it many times. Perhaps it is a cultural issue and only occurs on the servers I don’t play?
Your conclusion “I don’t see it so it’s not exist” says something about the quality of your thinking, not of mine. I never said that it doesn’t exist.
When there are 4 bases at start, they seem to respawn after some time.
+1 This needs to change from the current timer to 30 seconds. Currently any jet bomber players can end up not bombing anything before being hunted down to oblivion, because phantom players and other aircraft carrying bombs outaccelerate them to bases even if you call them out.
Leaving us Bomber Players in top tier with no bases for 5 ish minutes after the bases where destroyed. And since top tier maps are so small at the moment causing entire teams to annihilate eachother within minutes, the matches never last long enough for us to bomb anything and then land to gain the full 100% sl and rp from bombing.

my biggest gripe is that we use to have smaller teams and 4 bases…now we have 16v16 and still 4 bases…seems like an oversight to me. either give us more targets or make the ones we have respawn faster.

Hey War Thunder enthusiasts, addicts and Gaijin employees,
Sorry for poking an old topic but I think it needs to be revisited.
The artificial scarcity of bases just increases the toxic behaviour and negative experiences of war thunder.
The 30 second respawn rate would make me a lot happier but surely there is some in between ground that would make a bomber, strike fighter or fighter with bombs feel less terrible.
Also, worth noting that the 5 minute respawn was probably more tolerable when the lobbies were less populated… seems like we went from an average lobby size of 6-8 per team to about 2-3 times that and yet we have the same number of bases… so not only do we have 2-3 times the competition we also have 2-3 times the people with the anti-bomber / club the slower plane that cannot maneuver blood lust chasing us around the map.
Maybe the answer is simply removing the destruction bonus and making bases that have 5 times the health? maybe ticket bleed proportional to their TNT load and effective bomb rate… or something like balanced gameplay.

Imho the topic is still active, but imho your stuff would be better posted here:
Continuing the discussion in this thread looks pointless:
- Because it is a clearly described suggestion
- Gaijin has despite the poll result not reacted

I would also like them to add more bases. There are 2 ways to go about this (these ideas are for all BRs and can be used if we ever get modern bombers). The first is to keep the 4 bases in the center add 2 bases to each side of the center bases so that’s 4 bases and 1 in each corner so each team has a total of 10 bases to destroy. The other way is to take out the 4 bases and add a massive base in the center like 5 times the size of a normal base. Give this base a massive health bar and allow for carpet bombing. This will allow bomber formations Also you get rewards on type of ordinance used on the big base and if the big base gets destroyed everyone involved gets a massive bonus. Then a bonus if you win the match. Also i feel like the higher a level you are the more rewards you should get.

It’s chronic for us bomber players in all br’s above 5.0 that this still has not returned!!!
Again, barely able to do anything in air rb now using F-111C’s. I go wide as a jet strike aircraft/bomber, avoiding fighters and by the time I get in position to bomb, my teammates have suicide bombed the points in F-4 phantoms and Tornado’s, and I am stuck loitering for multiple minutes whilst the enemy fighters zip across the map and kill me.
The bases seriously need to be reduced to 30 seconds like they used too.

id like to see 8-12 bases on each map so its harder for interceptors to nab us doing our bombing thing esp with teams being 16v16 now

100% agree on EC matches. But for normal air rb the 30 second timer would work perfectly fine. Just make sure the bases randomly spawn just like EC (seem to randomly respawn). That would change the flight path for us bomber players and make it more dynamic.
