What I meant by space-climbing is,
You can be the last one by that ineffective strategy.
Just like how ineffective the bomber is.
Yes, Gaijin hasn’t removed bases. The one which takes turnpoint role in the former system.
Destroy 3 bases then airfield.
They removed AIRFIELD as a target.
By killing a key role of bombers, and let us be inferior strike aircrafts in all aspects?
By sacrificing bombers which can’t help teams?
How marvellous, For the greater good, just as Sandford does. right?
I thank you for your contribution as a bomber player, and I understand how exceptional your skill is.
But at the same time, it can’t justify how the Bombers are generally overrated.
As a joke, I wonder why you support that guy who agrees with the full removal of the airfield for the greater good.
This type of backstabbing was quite unexpected.
Yes, the Traditional way of playing bombers.
Get gelded step by step and accept the cold fact that Gaijin don’t care about bombers.
Nah, they will do the same eventually. (maybe except those Pacific maps which never had bases and airfields at the beginning)
1- Gaijin removed airfield destruction in higher ranks long ago. So they want to make it consistent to lower BR. because it is easier to learn for newbies.
2- They want to do us nothing but easy prey for those Interceptors.
score ≠ contribution
bombing bases is literally the worst possible way to drain tickets - ground pounding is vastly better in every way
what does that matter?
It works and can do more than a majority of players do.
It is just a silly argument.
It matters because
Bombers are forced to limit in role for victory.
We BOTH know that Gaijin removed airfield destruction. The most straightforward option of the bomber makes the team win.
Yes, destroying bases to decreasing tickets works.
Just… It is not as effective as killing ground targets or shooting enemies down.
Maybe YOU can do more than a majority of players do
But meanwhile, the majority of fighters do more than the majority of bombers do.
Look at these fighter-jocks who wanted full removal of base, airfield, ground targets, ticket draining and make ARB as TDM PVP mode.
Because they genuinely believe we are freeloaders of the team, and don’t want us in ARB and breathe the same air as them.
Yes. This is just a silly argument.
Gaijin is cutting our limbs one by one, just like how Mr Clarke cuts the limbs of necromorph.
And you took side of that guy and backstabbed me.
If we don’t want our bombers to get removed because of worthlessness, we need a better way to contribute to winning.
And Gaijin terminated the option of airfield destruction in lower ranks, in this update.
I agree, I just disagreed with the sentiment of base bombing ticket bleed is useless thats all :)
I think I should clarify I was only thinking of bombers up to 9.3 9.7.
In any case - like you said, we can all agree they have been fucking bombers for years now and this is another big kick to the nutsack.
And I am NOT HAPPY.
It is my birthday today, just got home from work and I am going to fly a bomber to see if I can get a 3 base map.
Happy Birthday. I’m sure you’ll get a good gajining.
To be fair destroying bases shouldnt take out many tickets.
The win condition for bombing its destroying the bases to then insta win at destroying the airfield (which has a lot of hp). Because destroying the 4 bases its so easy, making this a win condition its not fair (especially at top tier)
I really dont get it why. It already was present only in a mode you would get once in a blue moon and now itsw gone completely, stupid, stupid, STUPID GAIJIN! Bombers were already useless but very, very rarely you could win a game single handed by bombing the airfield… this is just sad!
Agreed Sir.
The only possible redemption for gaijin for taking this ridiculous path is if they plan to add objectives that make strike aircraft and bombers actually matter
Yes indeed.
The game used to be very good at this.
Naval Vessels have been removed from the Kuban map also it seems.
Another topic to think about:
Why are there different amount of aircraft to kill for special tasks?
Options (for Air RB) special tasks:
So based on this it looks like killing a bomber is 3 times more difficult than killing a fighter. We all know that is not the case - just evidence of bombers being designated prey.
With a small adjustment (like: Kill 26 bombers or 8 Fighters) you would increase the survival chances of bombers without real effort 😎
Regarding the current (announced) changes:
From my pov there are no substantial changes at BRs above 2.7. I played (after a break) now on several 3 bases maps (Frontline maps and legacy maps like Poland) without noticing any changes, so it looks like gaijin either “forgot” these maps or just changed bases at lower BRs than 2.7.
The increase of contrail altitudes (on medium maps now around 9km) should increase the survival chances of experienced bomber pilots in bombers with good high alt performance. I ran today (by accident) multiple times in very high Pe-8s (at 7km+) and even in a PB5-M (at 6 km) which popped out of nowhere. Have in mind that the graphics whilst playing on xbox are far inferior compared to PC graphics.
The downsides of these contrail alt changes is (ofc) that it is basically impossible to track enemy fighters trying to pitch up. After watching several replays it became obvious that i got tracked and stalked multiple times without being aware of that (despite i scanned the airspace below and behind) - the majority of these fighters broke off as they ran out of fuel or were too lazy to climb.
That’s why i assess the current changes as a slight upside for experienced prop bomber pilots - the average players still try their low level runs with the usual outcome😉
A ridiculous change, I don’t know how Gaijin are this tone deaf.
Bombers suck, the only semblance of enjoyment you can get out of them is lucking out with 2-3 bomber teammates and formation flying or being strategic about where to bomb and eventually hitting the airfield.
Surely with this change, Gaijin will address the terrible state of bombers to compensate them for such egregious gameplay changes? Oh wait… cockpit placeholders from 2013.
What is with the complete sterilization of any kind of non-TDM gameplay in ARB? Why are Gaijin even touching these things? Some of the best fun I used to have back in the day was Torpedo bombing in my shitty Italian bomber, it had a surprising amount of entertainment to it. Now? How dare you not play a fighter… anyway here’s a $80 jet.
Gaijin trying to not kill bomber gameplay even further challenge impossible
