A 109 would have a 50% chance of missing since only one of that corsair’s 1000lb bombs actually got near us, on top of much lower kill radius.

That’s not how probability works. You thinking CAS is always left up to a coin flip explains alot about your arguments.
It’s a million times easier to land killshots with the 500 kg bomb over the 250 kg one.

Bf 109 has 500kg
Which?
F4U-1 gets 1 (2.7), F4U-4 (4.3) has 2 500 kg ones.
Bf109 F (4.0) gets 1 250 kg one, G6 (4.7) gets 1 250 kg one, G-14 (5.3) still 250kg.
Once we reach 5.7 we find 1 500 kg bomb.
Also airframe durability and survivability matter a lot.
The F4Us are built like flying tanks. I’ve survived some very stupid stuff with them and flew back to base without an issue.

It’s not left to a coinflip. The Corsair dropped two bombs (because it carries two bombs), the 109 only has one. The 50kgs aren’t worth mentioning.

and his image was a 5.7 battle
he only needed one
And he missed one. If that was a 109, there would have been a 50% chance that all 3 of us on that cap circle would have lived.
Type 75 SPH is 6.3, it would have been at least that high. Likely 6.7 since that lineup is quite good.
People who are in just the right vehicle to cap and scout and are watching their spawn points so they can get immediately into their CAS aircraft aren’t necessarily more skilled at tanking at all. As for skills required to fly CAS, I can score better taking up a plane despite being 61 years old with arthritis in both hands. I have been able to fly simulators for decades, but I have no real reaction speed anymore. I still get better rewards for flying than I do tanking. GFRB is basically an air raid mode. They’ve shortened the matches because of all the 1-death leaving. (With these shortened matches, nobody cares about leavers anymore)

Oh, didn’t notice the Type 75 at first. Either way, 500kg Bf 109 is still at that BR and could’ve done the exact same.
That Corsair isn’t 5.7 though. And again, still only 50% chance to actually hit us with how he dropped.
that’s not how chance works. the bomb would’ve killed you regardless of if he dropped a second one
And who says it was the first bomb that hit us? What if his first drop undershot by so much that it wouldn’t have done anything and the second bomb was the one that fell right between us?
you tell me. which bomb drop hit you?
One game in the Yak 9k (or T? I can never remember).
Full uptier. Advance on Rhine. South spawn.
First spawn my Kv-1 zis-5. Drive to the south-east cap. Take it. See a panther. Shoot its tracks. Get blown up.
I respawn in a 638 SP yak 9 that can one-two tap most tanks even in a full uptier.
Was this some amazingly skilled gameplay on my part? Dying after shooting the tracks off a panther?

Not in my opinion.

I can’t remember, this was a while ago and from a 2 part meme about planes in ground rb. But just from that screenshot, the first bomb looks to be way too low to still get us since he was on a shallow dive.
Schrodinger’s bomb
The lower bomb probably hit
I dont remember exactly when they introduced planes to ground. but its was alot better before they did.
after planes came all there has been is revenge bombing , and more bombing . and 0 investment in AA guns , mobile or not. they didnt even bother too add the correct sights or basic instructions on how too use the sights.
They should do a ground only mode and see what the outcome is. if its the death of mixed mode, well its fine by me

Gaijin’s focus on combined arms is essential for maintaining a healthy player base and ensuring shorter queue times.
Separating the modes will lead to longer wait times and a fragmented community.
Instead of pushing for separate game modes, we could advocate for better balancing within the existing combined arms mode?
This way, we can address the concerns of players who feel frustrated by CAS without compromising the overall gameplay experience.
