Honestly, I’m so tired of facing bullsh*t like B7A2 or SB2C at 3.7 exploiting the fact they spawn at 3000 meters to abuse heavy bombers and fighters alike. They’re already better armed than 75% of the fighters around this BR and get the airspawn that gives no chance to outclimb them for most, if not all, single engine fighters they face.
I’ve been playing around this BR recently, and there was pretty much no game without at least a single player utlizing the said aircraft in the way I described.
Honestly, there should be something done about it because it simply feels unfair.
Either lower the airspawn altitude or move them up in BR.

you forget that the sbd has gunpods and the sb2c has 20mm cannons at lower battleratings that’s why they get used as fighters
B7 is one of the worst aircraft to use as a fighter at 3.7, the only reason it would do well is if the opponent screws up.
Same with SB2C.
They aren’t being abused, actual fighters out-climb them, out-speed them, and out-fight them.

yep sbd is even worse with its climb rate
B7 doesn’t get the gunpods and it’s being used in said way as well
did I say the B7 had them? no, I said the SBD has them
Lol, lmao even
If they’re so bad as fighters, why do players use them as such? Because so far I’ve noticed that all they do is engaging bombers and fighters that are unable to climb to their altitude in a reasonable time
ok but I’ve already said that they’re in fact better armed than most fighters at their BR so idk why you even posted that comment lol
experienced players dont use them as fighters lmao, only newwer inexperienced players do because that likely don’t have any other options
Because they can use them.
Popularity doesn’t make a good aircraft.
P51H5NA is the most OP prop in the game, yet you rarely see them.
Fighters easily deal with them such as Bf109 F4, P51C, P51, Yak-3/9, La-5, Spitfire, Ki-43, A6M3, etc.

Because there is a task to kill 3 players with a bomber without dying.

lol what?
it’s the other way around
why would and inexperienced player even considered using a dive bomber as a figher?
only playes that have spent some time in the game would notice they can be used in such role

they do it cause they dont know better and think they have good performance
you’re being delusional
why would an inexperienced player use a dive bomber as a fighter when they have multiple proper fighters to choose from?
inexperienced players mostly do not even reaserch the bombers if they do not intend to play them and focus on reasearching fighters instead
btw I’ve just checked the replay of my last game, and out of two B7’s and one SB2C, two players were 100 lvl and one was lvl 66, so there goes your theory

I did. and used it like a bomber
so they were sealclubbing or having fun doesn’t disprove my point
I think you could make the argument that if you equip a bomber with gunpods you should be forced to use the strike aircraft spawn (on maps where it’s a different location or altitude), but that’s just me.
I say this as someone who cleaned up the recent bomber-kill BP in a couple AB games flying a Brigand as a bomber hunter, and encouraged the rest of our squadrons to save time and do the same, ofc.

The only way to efficiently use something like the SBC or B7A2 is to fly straight towards the bombers and down them, if you try and fight something like a P-51 or BF109 at altitude then you sacrifice most of your energy and position for 1 guy, bomber hunting is far more efficient for these specific aircraft
They are no match for an experienced fighter pilot.
Did you even read what I said?
I said that newer players don’t reaserch bombers if they don’t want to use them, and your counter argument is that you reaserched bombers because you wanted to use them as bombers…
Yeah, experienced players sealclub in dive bombers to use them as fighters
That should really make you think
Dive bombers should get the strike aircraft spawn no matter what
