O lot of people say bomber should disappear after droping bombs and pilots exploiting bombing runs etc…
I will try to present a different perception :
Bombers are the real reason why people started to use fighter planes more and air war is way more diverse and funny than before.
Before bomber update, nearly all experinced pilots were using just attacker planes .
After bombing run generalised for every campaign, significant number of good pilots started to choose fighters to play.
Before bombers, only couple of attackers were just flying around, rarely getting into fight.
Bomber’s huge xp reward gives immense incentive tp both sides:
knowing that you can select 1-2 payload light bombing fighter can also give you huge xp know if you shot down enemy bombers
-some attackers like me 410 , fw 190 a8 used to be rarely seen in gameplay, they were not as destructive against land targets but have sheer firepower advantage against other planes. They became even more uselful and important
and the best thing: rival team pilots also know this so they also make similar choises. Both sides selection more firepower/ less payload against land targets.
Before bomber xp pinatas, all high level axis in normandy just spamming ju 188 and allies spamming p 47
Nowadays a lot of underrated high tier attacker planes and fighter planes can be seen more than often
Jeez, which size must be the pole up the exhaust pipe of such dudes, who want other players’ fun to be spoiler even when it doesn’t affect them in the slightest.
And don’t even start the “they aren’t contributing to victory” blabbering, as if that one guy chasing bombers was the only and perpetual reason of your team losing, FFS.
I’m just sick of such ‘philosophers’ who come here and drop their “nerf everything in game that doesn’t play the way I like” litany as a snake oil cure-all remedy.
Before the nerf, bombers were a threat to be reckoned with. Knocking down just one was already an achievement, and they probably ended up knocking you down. But now they are simply a joke. It is not convenient to summon them but to tear them down.
I get less points for capturing all 5 points, than a guy who take down 5 flying bricks.
I lose “1st place battle hero”, I lose “take 1st place” BP task, event requirements are 15k because of this incredible gain.
You say you don’t like developers nerf things. But now are you advocating tooth and nail for bombers to be just a duck in a target shooting game? What a hypocrite.
You took your own risk as playing as mainly infantry, more constant kills but less awarding per strike.
That dude chose more risky way, not constant kills or even big loadout if his plane is fighter , not too many target for xp unlike numerous infantry enemy and can not farm xp on good positioned rally
Lets add another third hypothetical tank nerd to this scenario
He also took a risk bcs maybe his tank will be knocked out immediately before he can do anything, by some other tank or air bombing, or enemy at fire from rares just out of pure unluck.
You want stalinist level of equality in the game ?
Sorry but i have a bad news for you; life itself is not fair or equal
"Infantry main sweatlords: pilots are useless, why they dont stop incoming bombers. Half of our forces wiped out. All they do is just spaming attackers and bombs and xp farming
Pilot: starts to really destroy bombers and enemy planes
Also infantry sweatlords: pilots are useless, they are just xp farming by downing enemy planes "
Most logical debate in enlisted playerbase be like
