lets be honest, this plane is not a bomber, it doesnt have a bomb load and it doesnt need the bomber airspawn to reach the bases as again, it doesnt have bombs
the aircraft should be reclassified to a strike aircraft and have its airspawn lowered, as again it doesnt have bombs
will you also put it way lower or what
Considering how it flies, I could see it falling to the likes of 2.3 or so, 2.7 at most, with no bomber spawn. It’s certainly slow, but heavily armed, and could easily terrorize biplanes who can barely understand how to get off the ground if put too low.
Now that being said, I think ALL tactical bombers should be reclassified as Strike Aircraft. An SB2C Helldiver is leagues more dangerous than the MB.175T could ever hope to be. Even a Stuka D5 with 20mm gunpods is. Or the Arado 234C-3. Or those who remember the R2Y2s when they were classified as Jet Bombers.
Weeeeeell, just because it doesn’t carry bombs, doesn’t mean it isn’t a bomber, it’s afterall a post war variant of the MB. 170 an a newer version than the MB. 174 A-3 which is the bomver airframe, the difference is it carries a torpedo (thus a torpedo bomber).
Still more fun than a stock D4Y2, somehow that doesn’t get stock bombs & first gets air to air rockets before bombs…
If it doesn’t have bombs, and more importantly if its main role is to strike ground units or naval units, that is a Strike Aircraft. A bomber in WT terms is the Strategic Bomber kind. All kinds of Naval Dive Bombers are functionally “Sea Attackers,” and should get the Strike Aircraft spawn as such.
That would enable questionably-tiered cases like D4Ys to drop in BR, because their airspawns are the only thing making them somewhat threatening. Same with Helldivers, B7A2s, to an extent Pe-2s, to an extent Tu-2s, to an extent B-25s and Russian A-20Gs, to an extent PV-2Ds, I could go on and on with examples.
If the “bomber” has a bunch of fixed forward guns meant for ground attack, it’s clearly a ground-attack aircraft and should have the Strike Aircraft spawn.
