Since i can’t upload a MP4 file, i will use this image to describe my issue:
Stop crying out for nerf, you cannot simply attack from behind and expect not to get shot… I shot down two with Romanian plane today, with cannons easily nearly three but got greedy and careless!
Bombers do not need nerf, you might need to learn how to attack…
yeah since we all know how plane models arent broken at all in Enlisted 
I put a guide up several times, there are synch issues sometimes ie if you I. Japan and enemy in Europe… but there are some fundamental rules, don’t fly flat and level, strafe at longer range and use cannons when close enough, watch those gunners!
There appears to be damage drop off. There are exceptions, but I shoot down enough planes since their changes…
AI bombers were already heavily nerfed since Stalingrad release, at first they were terminators that would kill you even before you could shoot at them, now (after the nerf) they are more like stormtroopers with slightly better accuracy from time to time, but if you continue to fly right behind them you will be eventually destroyed.
Yeah the damage model of the planes seems to be wrong, but lately I’ve been using fighter planes and when I decide to shoot the enemy planes in the wings, it shot them down almost instantly (by the way this works at medium short range, if you are far away you will do almost nothing to harm him)
Advise, NEVER attack from behind. Thats the modt defended area of all Bombers. Also the HE buff should help you shred em to pieces.
Actually, the nerfs we’re welcome but irrelevant in the greater scheme of things.
As @2026213 rightly points out, the chronically horrendous damage models and equally disastrous gun damage models effectively make any attempt to intercept a called in mission irrelevant.
You can’t break their formation, the planes fly perfectly straight irrespective of how much damage you dump into them (comparing to the broken flight model dynamics of player planes) and so the bomb strike will go in, and on target anyway - I’m not even sure whether you actually stop the bombs falling despite shooting down a plane.
I tried different approaches particularly with the IAR and its twin 20mm faith healers. Like @WidowMakerUk73 says you can shoot one down maybe with a lucky pilot strike or engine/wing crit. Best I’ve managed to do is shoot one down and severely damage 2 others, so that they fell out of formation on their return leg and I was able to farm some points after re-arming and shooting down one more after catching it, but the 3rd bomber limped out of range.
The bombs hit anyway and all I saw was the wall of death - not sure if I had any effect whatsoever.
The way the game works atm, intercepting these is a massive waste of time, and the XP from them is so crap, and the gunner damage so crippling to your plane (because bot planes don’t use .22 rounds in their cannon/MGs), you’ll get more for kamikaze bombing a solid hit and then leaving the game straight after.
