I’m mostly on the receiving end of such bombs and they’re so bad it’s laughable unless they’re right up in your face. I had so many situations when one landed next to me and I thought “this is it” only for them to scratch the paintjob on my tank. Not to mention that going prone as infantry make these bombs near useless.

skilled pilot can easily destroy tanks with them

But why should they go? I destroyed a bunch of tanks with it.
Besides: Even if you dont kill 25 soldiers on the ground with it, count in the concussion. I dont know but someone might be disturbed by it and misses the shot.
All in all: I have made good experience with the 50kg bombs. It is better then nothing (see battle of tunisia)

Don’t forget 50 kg bombs are usually in fighter airplanes and according to WT that’s the only payload they can carry, depending on the airplane of course
In exact same situation ive died more than often to those 50kg bombs as tank, usually already immobilized.
Some times ive managed to drive / reverse out of harms way as theres that short grace time before the bombs explode.
As infantry I havent yet found proper way to cover my self from them. As even bunkers seems to be too shoddy sheds to cover souls of my poor infantry.
trench ? Nope.
House ? Nope.
Different server ? Nope.
Different game ? Nope.
strange, i can do well with the 50 kilos to the point where i like using the bf109g-6 in berlin
50Kg bombs do the job just fine on tanks
I agree with 50kg being laughable but I don’t see the need to remove them. Rather their effective range against infantry should be improved. To me it appears like the area of effect isn’t noteworthy bigger than that of explosive packs despite packing many kilos more of TNT and potential shrapnel.
I got no problem though with proning infantry evading the blast as most of your AI mates won’t go prone anyway but rather run around aimlessly like frightened chicken.
