Why I bomb bases in premium fighter jets

Pros

  • thanks to dumping fuel, which will decrease weight, Vark will go even faster for the base run

Cons

  • rarely teammates on your behind will get burnt by that ‘burning fart’ and you need to pay their insurance.

imagine how fast an F-111F could go with 1 base of napalm and smart fuel dumping.

When that time has come, I am sure that I will talisman both F-111C/F
and think about going to work for free-ace crew with them.

No, the game is not broken.

Most guys (ok almost all) simply ignore the fact that they play a game optimized to be played by kids with access to credit cards.

The game looks exactly how these kids and subsequently gaijin wants it to be:

A plain vehicle based pew-pew shooter with an extremely strong grinding component without specific skill requirements t o play it - and gaijin offers a solution to play without the need to learn and to improve with a rather low skill approach called base bombing.

And, ofc, the game economy is designed to progress without the necessity to learn and the economy is a main factor of steering player actions and behaviour.

So as long as long term players don’t realize that they are surrounded by gazillions of kids unable or unwilling to invest time to learn but are willing to pay insane amounts for aircraft they can’t fly it makes zero sense to start a collective bashing / stat shaming of a guy who has at least the guts to admit that he plays with the lowest effort possible.

Take the red pill: Long-term players looking for somehow remotely realistic combat scenarios are not relevant for gaijin as long as the overwhelming majority of their income comes from kids who think that ACM is a new soft drink…


The only booster I had was a 10% one.

It was worse. He was sub 20 kills and 340 deaths before, only trying to improve it because he was afraid of being flagged as a botter. (he practically is)

As a joke,
At that rate, I think we are going to see this guy on ‘Fairfight: blah ba blah’ list.

Nope. Was not flagged in the recent bad wave.

Literally said in the OP that I don’t only bomb.

Seriously?

U killed in Air RB (in the last 4 weeks) 986 aircraft whilst getting killed 676 times. This might be above average, but is not even a K/D of 1,5:1. Nothing to write home about and no reason to point with fingers at others with even worse stats than yours…

Don’t get me wrong, but it simply looks like that you are unable to express your disapproval of this base bombing nonsense (which i share btw) without the necessary maturity.

Even if you despise others and their views it makes zero sense trying to argue with or stat shame random strangers in the web.

I meant, your former stat was way too awful so Gaijin might going to misclick the [ban: inaction/bot] button.
(Yes. It was a joke.)

Anyway, I also love bombing, but your claims in the forum are usually contain

  • have many flaws which can’t be defended
  • and also contradicted
  • supported by selfishness
  • lack of self-awareness

In conclusion, your opinion usually ends up with ashaming every base bomber.

I really am trying to be your side despite all those diabolical takes you spammed.
But your take just goes worse and worse…

I play ground primarily.
However, I do agree with your point, it is in bad faith to statshame.

That’s why most of them play ground battles to bomb tanks in there.

You’d be surprised-

I respect the grind, its a very long thing to run through, however. Bombing in premium aircraft (designated fighters ingame specifically) is primarily seen as sacrilege due to: Sacrificing missiles, being useless to the team, and usually being bad overall. In my opinion, I believe that grinding to top tier through bombing alone is lazy, takes little skill, and in turn churns out a player who didn’t advance their skill with the tech, as they never really used it. Bombing alone in fighters ends up making the player DOA in higher tier matches and effectively a detriment to the team, even if they get bombs off.

I also do it but only after rearming and the last enemy hides somewhere. I wish they gave the j7D napalm so you can actually destroy a base

You are hating on the man for optimizing his grind.
I hold no issues with him and his bombing of the bases with fighters.
If a fighter takes the bombers role and makes the bomber useless, how is that the fighters fault if the fighter is rewarded for it?

Now punishing fighters for doing that seems to be a good thing to you, but that is only if you’re too shortsighted and can only hate. By nerfing you decrease the fun and enjoyability of the game. Instead it would be better to reward fighters more for choosing to fight, even if they fail to come out victorious.
This problem was here before base bombing was nerfed, and it only got worse, and what you are hoping for is to make it even worse with further nerfs.

I believe it would be best if they revamped the whole base bombing system, either remove the health of the base or make it the game objective, change something big and give bombers some love.

You show off a 5K RP game as if it’s amazing.

5K in a premium jet, likely with a premium account.

Do you know what rewards you get for killing 3 or 4 people with zero bombing WITHOUT premium in the F8E crusader?

13 162.

Now imagine if you had a premium account.

Now imagine if you used a premium jet.

For me it is good enough. I am just trying to illustrate that I am content with 5k rp every round, doing bare minimum.

But bombing a base is a baseline of mine. I also go fight; too many people focus on my f 14 iriaf stats in which I made, when I was new to AIR RB and bombed bases/ground targets (stock grind)

Most of my non fox 3 plane stats are normal. The average according to statshark is 0.651 something.
