I was “hit” by a bomb while it was in the airplane, with the bomb hatch closed, with a bullet from a 12.7mm machine gun. THAT’S FUCKING AWESOME. That you pulled your team to victory when your team just died and your only chance of winning was you, but the game told you: the dudes on the enemy team with a K/D of 0.5 should win, not you. It’s simple here, the developer is just a dumb monkey who didn’t even finish elementary school, but decided he can make games and sell bags for 80 dollars!
And yes, watch the video with subtitles or translate it using AI, otherwise you have to chew everything up like a little kid.
So the point is, it’s not even in the air when the bomb is dropped, it’s in the airplane when the bomb hatch is closed. I’ve lost the game a few times because of that.
so magically u can shoot bombs in the air but in the plane it somehow has a unlimited level of protection to not detonate (IRL if u shoot a bomb in mid air or in a plane it’ll blow up there n then)
What story?! Dude, what are you talking about?! I’m telling you about the game, not real life. War Thunder is not even a simulation, not even a “realistic game”!
It has disappeared for me too, I was playing a 6.7-7.7 match, and I kamikaze’d my spitfire into a nuke, I don’t know if it was the bullets being fired at it, or me ramming it, but it disappeared 🤔
If opponents should have a chance to shoot down an airplane with a nuke, which I don’t fundamentally disagree with, then they shouldn’t have a chance, by random hit, to “destroy” the bomb itself. And you don’t have to prove to me that this is how it works in reality. War Thunder is no longer a simulation or a game very close to real life.
There is no oroblem here. It is a game afterall, and players have option to counter dropped nuke.
It does not even happen that often to be honest.
Man, you really dropped nuke ON YOUR FRIENDLY tanks, on map where you control ground points. You think in real life military* would nuke it’s own people or teritory they control?
If it doesn’t happen often in those who don’t stuff nukes. I have racked up 5 nukes in those two days, 2 of which I “lost” because my bomb was destroyed through a CLOSED bomb hatch. Just to remind you, normal bombs don’t get destroyed or explode if the bomb hatch is closed, but nukes disappear for some reason.
My point about realism was to the fact that for the second day I have been proved that in reality it works like that. That’s why I wrote about the “realism” of War Thunder.
The reason is - nuke is not “instant win” button.
Enemy detected you and countered your nuke.
No problem here, normal game design here.
If it were not the case and nuke would be “instant win button” you would never dropped anything, as everybody would leave the lobby the moment the siren would sound.
So what’s the problem with the “I win” button, for a conditional 3000 points? Why I played better than all the other 29 people from two teams and I can’t finish the rink? Why do I have to fight the game, enemies and allies? That’s how it works in CoD, it’s very hard to score, but if you score, you win. Everyone will have that chance. Oh yeah, only 1% of all War Thunder players will be able to do that. After all, the vast majority play K/D less than 1. And yes, it’s not “good” game design, it’s just an option for weaker players so they don’t feel disadvantaged. So if you think an “I win” button, thanks to which your team can win, in an already losing battle, is a bad idea, you’re just very dumb and weak))))))))))))
