well at least the fuckin AA turret would be useful for something other then shooting ground troops with such a slow bomber in the sky… cause lets be honest here nobody uses the build-able AA turret for shooting planes down… it doesn’t rotate nearly fast enough to accurately track anything in the skies right now even if you track ahead of where its flight path is you got maybe 1 or 2 seconds max where your shots have a 50/50 chance of hitting then the plane flies out of your sights and you cant get a bead on it till its like 1000 meters out then your chance of hitting it is like -200%
Yeah. AA is another topic.
But I think adding more or bigger bombers will likely kill all of the enemy army, at least at the current state.
Imagine dropping it on a cap point.
So lets not cure the course (weak AA, aircraft rendering on long distances, HP of aircraft too strong) of the problem but lets put a Zeppelins that will also drop bombs… it is slow isn’t it?

yea that’s why i retracted the idea about the grand slam and just left the cluster bombs since clusters were loads of many smaller bombs
and since clusters don’t necessarily have to be completely dropped in a single pass the idea of making heavy bombers non-reload-able would balance them out so the only way to get another fully armed heavy bomber is to respawn as one
like every time you hit the drop bomb button it could drop 25% of the cluster load so you could potentially make 4 bombing runs or 1 huge run lol
You can have your opinion, but mine is that Strategic bombers don’t do CAS and should not be player controlled as they never acted individually. And any bomb over the 250kg should be removed.
As I mentioned, we had same in WT when only planes were present and we had nation vs nation battles (Historic battles). Every time half of US team spawned in Strategic Bombers (Flying Bricks) and spread around the map individually. Good luck trying to ask 7+ random guys to stick in formation. To everyone no surprise, German teams were 95% fighters and obliterated US teams every time.
Then the game tried to balance it by placing more Ground targets for the US teams to bomb, pushing German BR to higher levels so you had to face 1944 planes in 1941 German plane and so on…
How many times did we spread around the map trying to find one B17 that flew into the cloud and hoped that ground tickets will win for him… god, awful waste of time and awful memories.
the 2 cluster munitions im suggesting are loads of M29 Cluster bomb 90x 4-pound (1.8 kg) and AB 250-3 108 x SD 2 (2 kg) butterfly bombs 
these bombs are 250 kg …
heavy bombers could be loaded with 8 - 10 of these 250 kg clusters…
YES. Add Pe-8 and Fab-5000 to soviets. make that 5000kg bomb blast radius 20x bigger then 250kg have
Cause there is limit to 1 bomber at time it woulnt be op at all. Also it would be pretty easy to suicide to that blast so 1 player could not just drop it constantly
edit: Ofcourse it can be dropped from high alttitude but that requires some skill cause you have to hit somewhere in playable area
yea thats where my Coloured Smoke Grenades idea would really come in handy is for these high altitude bombers
That might be too much of asked, perhaps a guiding system of somekind ?
how about to give german radioman to use V-1 V-2 rockets,artilery on train Schwerer Gustav , 
no. go play war thunder.

lol i like how crazy everyone’s response to this idea is, its basically just a slow flying carpet bomber with many 250kg cluster bombs that release roughly 100 small 4 pound bombs
its nothing bigger then whats currently in game im just suggesting they give the heavy bombers a larger capacity bomb load instead of just 1 or 4 it would be 8-20 cluster bombs dropped 25% at a time non-reload-able
AA turrets and any light/medium plane would be able to rip it apart easily
you have terrible ideas. full stop.
pwease lemme wipe the entire server in one bombing wun pweaaase

sure you could spam drop bomb 4 times in a single run but then your screwed for cluster bombs for the rest of your time flying a slow ass target in the sky with multiple 12.7mm machine guns
lol like honestly the bomb loads aren’t nearly anywhere as big as the current medium bombers 250kg single bombs… cluster bombs have the effect of carpet bombing its like rolling out a “carpet” on the ground hence the name “carpet” bombing…
and no im not asking for a nuke… though i was asking for a grand slam bomb but i re-evaluated the chaos adding a 22,000 pound bomb would create… and they aren’t even in the same league the grand slam blast yield is like 2300x smaller then the smallest nuke littleboy
im not asking for a nuke im actually asking for much smaller bombs but in larger quantity… the whole bomb itself adds up to 250kg worth of small fragmentation submunitions… these facts you would understand if you even stopped to read the Original Post instead of just looking at the title and coming here to scream “REEEEEEEEEEEE”
imagine getting this butt hurt over publicly displaying how poorly thought out your ideas are and receiving negative feedback.
Double post… check
snarky gif… check
mad af… check.
Asking for killstreak drone strike would be less obnoxious.

Double post… sure check
snarky gif? i thought it was pretty funny 
mad af… far from it bra 
and the reason there was so much negative feedback at first was cause i was also suggesting the Grand Slam Bomb (22,000 lb or 9980 kg) single bomb as a potential load, which the negative feedback for that specific thing is well deserved and i acknowledged that and adjusted my suggestion accordingly
now i just got you sitting here following suit as if i haven’t changed my original idea slightly 
I too want to add a shitload of experimental planes to friendly-fire the entire map
i wonder if you really played that game, don’t you already see 500 lb bombs are already capable to kill at least 30 people on one strafe? and now you ask for more, don’t be surprised that people think you are trolling, because it looks like you are. Planes are on the way to get a nerf.
Congrats - you have achieved a new level on the stoopid ideas scale.
