bit of a shitpost with “graphic design is my passion” energy
But those bombs definitely are not useless.

100lb bombs are better
No, not because of size. Because USA! USA! USA!

So far US airplane bomb loads (outside of P-47D-28, my beloved) have been kinda crinje. Stuff like IAR, 4x50 109s, the soviet P-40, 1941 IL2, etc is amazing because you can kill two crucial targets per reload (and then some with strafing), while also being in a reasonably capable airframe that can plausibly win a dogfight/easily strafe over and over. Sadly no tech tree US plane offers that capability 
And yet the US has air superiority 90% of their matches
Curious
maybe if devs added second vehicle slot for f2p gamers you would see US losing its air superiority.
US will choose planes over tanks cause their tanks suck
germany will choose tanks over planes cause their tanks are great.

What do bomb loadouts have to do with air superiority though
I keep selfishly hoping for fighter only slot for f2p players lol
Anyway, current german/other axis fighters are extremely capable and 1000% able to dumpster anything the western allies can put forth
Im wishing they would add good planes and hope to see this (Hopium)
Useless in current locked-in-octagon knifefighting tiny ass air map meta lol
True dat
If our planes all suck then why are they the only ones in the air?
Do 335 is fat and heavy, built for going fast and not turning. You can’t use speed when you are locked into a tiny ass box. You will run out of map before you manage to get far enough away from something cringe like a Hurricane, who will then happily shred you after you are forced to turn back into bounds. It already happens with things like Fw190s
Didn’t say they suck completely, just the bomb loadouts lol.
I’ll go play Germany BR5 after I finish researching FG42 II upgrades and do some air superiority
There doesn’t seem to be many players playing Germany overall atm so in heavily lopsided games I’m not surprised allies end up with a ton of vehicles lol

P-51Mustang has 2 500lb’ers: Historical
P-38 Lightning has M8 rockets: Historical
P-47 Thunderbolt has 10 HVAR (God’s favorite rocket) and 1 500lb’er: historical
Plenty of other planes have either 100lb’ers or 500lb’ers. The SBD-3 Daultness even has a 1000lb’er that’s center mounted capable of deleting anything in the game bar none. Super easy to aim and drop
We don’t have any planes in the game with 2000lb’ers, but they do exist and could be added in the future. Especially if the game evolves past WWII
Shoot the F-82 alone would be an incredible addition. There can even be two versions. An Assault version that has 2 2000lb’ers and a Fighter version that has the gun pods
waiting for lancaster with grand slam and tallboy…
It’d be cool to watch land on a Pz II
i expect it would be something like this

It seams like they did buff all 50kg bombs to have 65 mm of pen instead of just 35mm (or 50mm in case for the US one) recently.
With just 35 mm they really werent that great for targeting tanks.
Idk exactly when they did it but I just noticed that the stats in the enlisted resource where updated to new ones.
It is quiet interessting to see how each bombs behaves now with for example some just having twice the amount of fragmentation compared to their competior when they used to be the same bomb before.
50kg are definitely still good, you just have to be good enough to utilize them with the proper dive bomb technique.
you’re right
But in front of Big Mac
But 250 can give me more security
And give the opponent’s tanks greater fear
Sure, 250s are way more forgiving…but I also got an IS-2 1944 kill with 50kgs just today - not much out there that’s harder to kill
Means anything with 2 separate drops can kill 2 tanks per reload, which is a massive help for your team. It’s a bit of a gamba I guess, but hey, no risk, no reward
