I see many here are bullying the topic starter, but it’s not about him. You’re fighting in the wrong direction.
First of all, there is no teamplay in random, unless it’s a squad with your buddies. Everyone for themselves. And Snail makes things worse with idiotic daily quests. What kind of teamplay do you expect in a random if, for example, John needs 25 bombers, Sam needs First strike + win, and Matt needs just 2 kills + 50% activity? Everyone will try to do exactly what they need and do it as quickly as possible. Because almost all of these tasks are absolutely uninteresting and any normal player wants to get rid of them as quickly as possible.
Fighters with bombs take targets from bombers and assault planes, okay. And, was it the topic starter who made such maps, where everyone is forced to fly in one bunch to the center? Or nerfed gunners and bombers’ survivability to zero, making most of them practically unplayable, with the exception of superlow BR with biplanes?
Look at the damage of different bombs on the bases. “Balance value”, as I heard. On the I-185 with two ZAB-50, adding less than 100 kg of weight in total, I can do more than 13,000 damage on the base, while on a fully loaded Pe-2-110 bomber with 10 FAB-100 for more than a ton of bombs I get less than 16,000 damage? And this is “balance”? Considering that the I-185 is a fighter and better than Pe-2 in absolutely all stats.
At the same time, on each new plane I upgrade the same modifications and this requires research points. The same Shvak, FAB, Hispano MK.4b, etc. Each time “new”. The same grind in a circle. It is not surprising that people want to optimize it, making their (not yours!) game easier and more economically profitable.
Take for example a Soviet EP-2 at BR 4.7, completely stock, with a low-level crew and try to spade it in a random AAB. Is the grind successful, did many of your fighters help you defend against the enemy flying at you like flies to jam?
It’s Snail’s fault that for more than 10 years there hasn’t been a normal PVE where you could upgrade stock vehicles and farm SL, normal motivation to act as a team, normal BP tasks and finally a normal matchmaker. So that newbies on stocks could play with the same, and progamers with thousands of battles with their own kind.
The fact that people bomb on premium fighters is a consequence of the problems in the game and the unwillingness of its devs to do anything about it. People tend to strive to minimize efforts, this is normal.
We need to demand from the Gaijin. Not from the players.
