Target bases AAA in sim battles

Lately I’ve noticed that low level bombing in sim battles has become increasingly difficult.

As someone that prefers to fly bombers in sim battles and most of the times flies very low to avoid being spotted, bombing base targets used to be a fun and leisurely activity. By flying at tree top level or lower when possible, hiding behind, following rivers while flying at water level, etc. Your bomber usually won’t be detected by enemies from a distance no matter how big it is, and you will be able to go bomb the base of your choice and come back without much trouble and with the added fun of flying your big machine low to the ground.

However, it has become increasingly difficult to perform low level bombing, and at the latest almost impossible. In the cases where the AAA don’t just straight up kill you, it leaves you crippled enough that you won’t be able to return to your airfield.

I would like to know what your guy’s opinion on the matter is. It’s true that this can be avoided by just flying high, but that’s just not as fun in my opinion leading to the classic AFK flying, but also leaves you vulnerable to the usual “bomber’s fun” of being a big and expensive piñata. I honestly don’t see the reason of making low level bombing unviable other than to further shift the game towards fighters by removing the fun from bomber players.

You don’t really believe they’d implement less income and increased grind for everyone “to fight botters”?

Gaijin profits from them eversince cause they buy high tier premiums. They simply use them as a scapegoat to increase grind for everyone so that people buy more stuff… Has been like that eversince in SB EC. And guess what, botters never disappeared and nowadays you can play for two hours and pretty much make 0 progress. While on the other hand you can simply buy that progress.
