Why I bomb bases in premium fighter jets

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.

This would be a fantastic mode for people that don’t like PvP

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.

You could optimize for fun and engagement AND rewards though, rather than monotonous bombing in aircraft that were only meant to bomb once air superiority was achieved (ergo - first merge, everyone gets back to rearm. You grab bombs because the remaining enemy team might need to be flushed out through ticket drain).

Spending 60+ bucks on a premium jet to just bomb bases is sad.

No different from a single death leaver in ground battles.
You make the game miserable for your team mates.
Yes its a team game.
Yes we all want to grind. You are not learning the game and will remain equally useless when you grind and reach top tier as you have no understanding how top tier air to air combat works.

He’s clearly not playing to win, he’s playing to grind. He optimized his grind so he earns most RP consistently. Why is that a bad thing for him, why should he change his ways?

So go and spend money and convert free rp.

He’s not earning the most RP though.

You earn the most RP by getting ~1200-1500 score, dragging a match out to 12 minutes AND get 100% skill bonus.

That gives you the best guaranteed RP possible for time played.

1200-1500 score for a 12 minute match guarantees 95-98% activity%. Match that lasts any longer has the activity% drop faster than score can be gained (although it won’t drop under 80% if you got ~2000 score I found).

1 second of time alive is 1.22 RP before any modifiers, multiplied by activity percent.

Depending on how consistently you can get skill bonus, it might be worth extending a match to as long as possible even if activity% drops to 80% but that’s an optimization and consistency problem. 3 severes + kills (3x450) and 3 crits (3x150) (1800 total) and no ground pounding gives 85% activity at 22 minutes as a reference point.

if you use bombs in fighters even like J-7D, then why you want to pay for it?
And how will you do when you get J-10A, J-11B or Mirage 2000? Use them to bombing?

It also feels less like a chore if you actually play the game like that.
