Talking about bombers

selective realism at its finest

no

AI gunners in my experience are useless, and for most players good aim is not in their vocabulary (Me included for the most part)

if there cancerous to you you either don’t know how to kill them, or you have a hatred against bombers for some unknown reason

Bomber turrets are nearly impossible to use, u get almost no convergence, whereas planes with cannons around 20mm or above can kill u with a few shots from over 1 km since ur a massive target. I only ever reach bases in a B-29 when none of the enemy choose to intercept me

1: It’s a game, fun should be first and then realism, imagine if overnight aphe did the same damage has AP for realism purpuses
2: They do, they start with huge energy advantage and force fighters to get themself in low energy position to shoot them down
3: Players not knowing how to use it doasen’t mean it’s not good, most tiger player just press W and die immediatly, doasent mean the tiger is bad
4: I know how to kill them, but when I am in a yak 3 and their is a bomber at it’s max altituide circling the border of the map, it’s hyper anoying

And it’s not fun for bombers to get one tapped, no one has a problem killing them at all

Energy doesn’t matter in a bomber, u try to dive and ur wings snap off, u turn too hard and ur wings snap off, off someone wants to intercept u they’ll do it with ease

Have u ever played bombers? The majority of them are miserable

So the altitude is the issue now? That’s the only thing protecting a bomber. What, u want it to have an airfield spawn and die instantly or smth?

So the game should be fun to bombers, it isn’t because Gaijin nerfed them to the ground due to fighter players.

1: Most bombers require sustained fire to actually be killed, when I used to play bomber i often survived with 1 less wing
2: Yes it doas, you can very easely be the highest person in the match
3: Yes, last time i played a bomber was a PE 8 and I got 3 kills by just diving down running at the enemy and shooting them with my gunners
4: Yes, it’s extremly anoying to have matchs have 99% of their player die within the first five minute but have the last guy just refuse to do anything

Bombers are never having fun and never will be, they only do it for the reward
Even if bombers got buffed this wouldent change, no one who has every vehicule they want would chose to play a bomber

are you perhaps the kind of person that thinks that if someone else is having fun and you aren’t that needs to be changed.

no, not always, and if APHE was nerfed I wouldnt be that mad, as it very blatantly overperforms.

Bombers are to fat to actually maneuver so no, 99% of the time they are at a disadvantage.

please show me a bomber that you have a minimum of a positive K/D of lets make it say an even 1.0KD

oh so a bomber doing anything it can to survive is annoying… Got it…

1:Bombers aren’t having fun, and you know it, it’s not about performance it’s about the fact they are just here to grind
2: Then I agree, aphe should be nerfed to the ground has it just causes some nation to blatenly over perform just because of their use of APHE
3:You can see enemies from super far way, you will have to time to react
4: If I tried im relatvly confident i could break even
5: Yes, because air RB is a death match, let’s not pretend otherwise, thats why im perfectly fine with bomber in sim

ARB was pushed into a deathmatch mode by people who only went for purely frag chasing.
It ended up in eliminated dynamic objectives and watered down all roles EXCEPT fighter on fighter combat.

you do realize 95% of the time you can see let alone shoot them they’ve already started to tear most of your bomber apart

No, ask any current bomber player, especially at higher tiers, anything above 20mm cannons will evaporate them when they should be able to survive hundreds of shots as they do in real life

Only when u don’t get intercepted

The majority of the time it’s a player airfield camping rather than a bomber

i think that giving bombers similar targeting like in Helicopter turrets. you can manually shoot but also you can put the red targeting box on the target.

No, bombers stand above clouds, if you can’t see them coming it’s something you failed to do

1: This is only true on higher tiers, tiers where bombers will very often kill whoever tries to intercept them even if they do die too
2: So, because people wanted to focus on the fighters rather than the bomber, they deserve to either have to crash into the ground or wait 20 minutes of literally nothing happening
3: The vast majority of last alive players are bombers, just play a random game of 4.3 and you will see

Making bombers being able to be controlled by 2 players in air RB would be epic. Only way id play them

Bombers have a lot of spread, because gaijin decided to make gunners shake their gun all over the place, If you get killed by a gunner, you’ve done the WORST approach possible known to man.
A bomber player has to adjust to a constantly changing paralax, exagerated spread, a mostly unpredictable target and lastly, being outranged in a fragile plane.
If you don’t want to bother using basic strategy like camp either the base OR the main airfield to pin down a bomber’s possible location, you’ve got a FAT “blind hunt” or “Avenger” , EVEN EASIER to obtain now thanks to item recycling.
If you lose to tickets, im sorry but mr. bomber only took 3 bases max, which is like 2-4 pillboxes worth of tickets.

Very much wrong as I’d really love to play bombers if they weren’t brutally gimped to the point of playing them in Ground RB being the best choice
