I think it might be good to add a camera for the bombers

So, i’m a full Allies Normandy player and i enjoy playing with the exclusive edition of the P47D-22-RE.
Just to clarify, I’m not thinking in adding the camera to this planes (if you guys of Gajin want i won’t say anything), but to the bombers (A-20G-25, Ju 188 A-2 for example). This could be:
1-A cenital angle in the bomb’s perspective
2-Taking the WarThunder crosshair
(The first option could be good for bombers, the second could be good for fighters).
Also, I think the rear machine guns do too much damage i would try to lower the damage in general.
What do you guys think?
It’s fun to play with probability when throwing the bombs, but it could be fun to see a 2nd camera with the bombs (In my opinion)

idea is great, but that would just cause even more plane spam that’s already huge issue in normandy

Seriuosly? my experience is the opposite. The Allies and the Axis use planes as arabs (sorry for the dark humor). They use rockets, bombs and then full kamikaze to the objective.
It would be fun to see it like in a mini update to try it for like… 1 week. Then, if the feedback is negative, just get rid of it.
Of course, that’s my opinion. I won’t try to change yours.

In my opinion, neither feature is necessary. I assume the cameras you’re talking about is the one that follows the bomb and the arcade bomb crosshair.

The reasons I’m not a fan of the bomb-following camera are:

  • Ruins the immersion
  • You’ll only see the bombs dropping for a few seconds, especially as you have to recover from a dive, it’s not like bombing bases in War Thunder where you can watch the bombs fly for half a minute
  • You can often already see groups of infantry on the ground
  • If you’re curious as to where your bombs land, you can always make a quick turn and look at the smoke and dust clouds

The reasons I’m not a fan of the arcade bomb crosshair are:

  • Ruins the immersion
  • Accurate bombing is already really easy, I can reliably nail tanks with bombs and get a hitmarker before they explode
  • More people will be ruining your tank gameplay

must’ve been lucky, 70% of my matches are just constant plane spam, some are so bad that if you shoot bomber down, not even 5 seconds later, another comes (I’m not joking). It’s hard to capture or hold points without getting your entire team blown up by rockets or bombs

This 100%

We don’t need it to be even easier for CAS rats to spam HE

I’ve recently learned to use the plane once, fly over, bomb, nose up and bail out. When timed right, I clear a landing zone and get behind enemy lines or on a flank. Tends to be far more successful to the game as a whole than just riding in a plane the entire game taking 10-20 kills per 2-3 minutes.

Of course, but i’m referring to the high altitude bombs. The A-20G-25, with some kind of camera in the bomb compartiment, you would be able to drop the bombs in higher altitudes. with p-51/47, it wouldn’t be that usefull and it would be better to see, at least a Picture in Picture image of the bombs falling to the zone

Think about the bomb’s camera like a Picture in Picture image. Like when you kill a tank, the same space seeing how the bombs are deployed and falling.
The idea of an arcade crosshair, thinking it more deeply, wouldn’t be that nice.

Honestly I’m against bomb sights. If you want to fly up high and bomb tactically, play war thunder. I doubt bombing with poor precision from 2km up will be of any benefit to the team with the pace of the game. Especially taking up an attacker slot that would be far better used as CAS than tactical bombing.

We dont have pilotable ligth bomber wo can do carpet bombing, so i dont think the bomb camera can be useful for an attack plane
