The B29 is way too weak to drop nukes

You cannot realisticly fail to intercept a the B29, it’s way too easy

Ive only survived being intercepted once, every other time it either INSTANTLY killed me or resulted in me crashing after that

Ive asked player who have dropped more than a thousand nukes and they all say the same thing, it’s pure luck their is NOTHING you can do to prevent being intercepted

Please gaijin give us the cambera at every br instaid of nukes being a luck check

Like last game a LA-7 came close and I INSTANTLY shot him down with the 50cal while dodging, he still caused a fire which resulted me in burning down before reaching the field

I don’t think bombers should be hard to intercept because that would be toxic in air battle, but please gaijin make dropping the nuke less of a luck check

they should just remove the 29 and replace it with the B36 to give it a chance as its almost immpossible to dodge jets in the thing and your 50cals will do nothing its so unskillbased

unless your team has complete air superiority you die

Tu-4 can defend itself better with the 23mm’s but yeah B29 is an easy target

Should be a B56 or 66 imo, or maybe make some nuclear capable strike aircraft instead of them all being strictly bomber line aircraft

It’s not risk, it’s luck

you can just shoot back you know? or fly around the side instead of beelining into AA fire

Yes, like last game where I killed the la 7 has fast has possible, but he was still able to let a burst in which resulted in the whole plane burning down

I wish I have a nuke :(

They just need to fix bomber fragility, and actually make fires on bombers a little easier to put out

But the plane is fine.

A higher air spawn. Like 2500 meters up would be nice too

The bomb would take way to long to drop
I fear bombers would be uper toxic if they we’re more resistant in air battle

What would the B-36 offer over the B-29 other than being a larger punchbag?

You want people at WW2 ranks to have to try to catch a cold war jet bomber?
the B-29 should stay as the 1st nuke bomber, but maybe change to the Canberra sooner and they need something between that and the Jaguar, trying to catch a Jag in a Saber is near impossible

Having the B29 as a nuke dropper at any BR kinda sucks, its fragile slow and the size of a football field, any SPAA gunner with more skill than a walnut can shoot it down really easily, let alone how it has to hold out against 262s, superstangs, superprops, etc. atleast make the canberra the first nike dropper and replace the canberra with the 56, then put the 66 between the 56 and vark / jaguar

Yes, I want that, because the B29 is way to weak

In real life it was impossible to intercept and had a higher kill ratio than most fighters, (about 10kd)

In game it’s just free food even when used corectly

then the min BR for nukes will have to be raised as it would simply be uncatchable for most people at 6.7, hell even a lot of the early jet fighters are slower than that thing.

I think most airframes, especially bombers are far to fragile

IT shoulld not be catchable easely, it’s a 2500sp cost plane

sure, airspawn it at 2500-3000m
