The state of bomber gameplay

But to sum it up, ARB is played like a call of duty team deathmatch, unless this fundamental issue is changed then ARB games will be all about kills, kills and more kills. You don’t have the luxury to play passively and take your time.

A couple times when I got tired by the mindless top tier missile spam meta, I decided to take my F15 and go for a small flank, legit small not a tour around the map. By the time I arrived to the center of the map to shoot people in the side the game was already over and I finished the game with LITERALY zero mission score and received like 9 SL and 3 RP. This is why you always need to rush in, because unfortunately this is the only viable play style

I think this is the fundamental problem with ARB in general and bombers suck because they are incapable of doing this.

If they actually commited to smaller team sizes and added more game modes, i could see bombers or even dedicated strike aircraft like the Tornado, F-111, and Su-24 being more useful and fun to play. Im glad that they are going to be tweaking nuclear thunder and adding it as a game mode, but we do need more of them.

Im just spit balling atp but i can see things like

Bomber Escort / Bomber Interception

SEAD / DEAD, with the enemy team trying to counter it.

A combined arms game mode involving helicopters, aircraft, ground targets, and even naval if and when it catches up in technology to air and ground RB

Etc etc

Things like this would be quite fun to play, at least to me lol

They could so easily adapt their single player content to multiplayer
