War Thunder "Sky Odyssey" - Changelog


that must be a mistake? why would anyone play a 2A4 or Abrams anymore?

Good. Need bring teammates to help, or use a plane with very powerful armaments, AND aim better.

Good, very very good. Bombers have been made out of cardboard for FAR too long.

No, not good in the slightest. A few games flying around in the BV238 and it didn’t matter what people were hitting me with, you simply take no damage.

Bombers being overly fragile before does not make it a good thing that bombers are now flying bunkers with an comically overbuffed damage model.

Because they don’t want to play Britain?

Still won’t let us earn event points in NE? :(

Nah, bombers are not supposed to be able to be killed in one shot. I don’t care how much complaining there is. It is much closer to reality than it has been for nearly 10 years. And even back when bombers were “not made of paper” in War Thunder, it cost 20k to 40k SL’s or MORE to die in something like the B-29. It has been nearly impossible to survive OR profit from using bombers for basically forever.

Bombers can have their time now. It has been WAY too long (basically the entire time War Thunder has been around, ~14 years)

Havent managed to rip bomber wings with 12.7-37mm guns so far. But its still possible to rip tail off after some hits. And they explode when ap enters bomb storage it seems. Also after killing few engines they start dropping down. Tho it would take a lot of shells to kill b52 that way

Hi @Stona_WT about 2-3 years ago a DM rework for the Leopard 2 family was announced. Is that still being worked on?

The 2A5, PSO, 2A6 HEL and 2A7V all have different models, geometry and modules which means they all have different armor, damage models and / or bugs unfortunately.

The Leopard 2 HEL has worse armor than the 2A7V now and the X-ray modules are all misaligned and sticking out of the visual model

Uh no.

Just because X thing was weak before does not mean X thing gets to be broken beyond any reason for a given period of time afterwards. This is just crab mentality.

Bombers are currently tanking way more damage than is reasonable and I can basically guarantee you that it is going to get changed before long, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Thanks. I was looking everywhere in the options menu

You have a short memory of Tu-4 just flying at 40kft and getting free kills with their turrets or the G8N1 Renzan Death stars.

Not a good change yes some buffs were needed but being unkillable was not one of them.

You really do not have a firm grasp on how much damage bombers would historically take and return to base. Have fun with your complaining, get used to it. Cheers.

I just got a crew lock after getting killed regularly in ARB?

You’re delusional if you believe this isn’t going to be getting patched before long. Then again you’re delusional to believe bombers can take anywhere near the punishment they are currently taking.

Enjoy it while it lasts, which won’t be long.

Same and being murdered by F-15s with 120Ds is making me not want to play anymore.

Actually only in English, no other language

Agreed. People have to actually use tactics against bombers now. THE HORROR.
