Planes bombs have such a wide splash damage area it gives them way too much power in battle. A tank has 0% chance of surviving any average pilot and infantry is wiped so far away from explding bombs it"s ridiculous. Maybe it’s more realistic, but for a game it removes all the fun.
no planes are fine

Bro it takes like several minutes to resupply them. You can get more kills with a bolt action. Luckily kills in the plane are worth more points

I seen the opposite tank will die 1 in ten runs with bombs hitting the tank its self, bombs and rokets need buff to ap
No need to nerf. Use the fighter plane instead.
If I hadn’t played it myself, I would have thought bombing tanks was a very simple thing.
In fact, accurately dropping bombs to kill tanks with 50-100kg bombs is a technical task, at least much more difficult than driving a KT in the grayzone, holding your potato chips in one hand and click left mouse button in the other.
Moreover, the aircraft will take a long time to resupply, the aircrafts are never as strong as tanks.aircrafts need to be buffed. most pilots in this game are not as effective as infantry.

Hmmm
No I think the current balance of vehicles is fine as is. Tanks are easy to use, easy to kill, easy to run around and avoid their line of sight. Planes are slightly harder to use with precision, but anyone can carpet bomb or suicide bomb with mixed results. Plus with the 1 strafe, reload of US planes or 1-3 strafes, reload of cannon planes, it means that any pilot main can’t just do death donuts over the battlefield 24/7 and they MUST go off on a resupply journey that takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes (edit: one way)
Add in infantry defenses such as AT Guns (as much as they are lacking in some departments) and AA Guns (as much as they’ve been nerfed post Paratroopers) and you have yourself a solid triangle of pros, cons, risks, and rewards for each arm of Combined Warfare. Not to say tampering with the formula can’t be done, obviously various details have been changed for the sake of balancing and whatnot, but as it stands right now? It’ll be hard to get more balanced than this

I used to play battlefield V and the planes in that game have a marker that shows where it will fall. That helped me get an idea for how the bombs move in an arc through the air relative to angle and speed. So now I just visualize the marker and can hit targets pretty accurately every time.

Tbh no one should be using the bombing run, its so bad compared to the 2-3 artillery you could drop in the same time

Bombing runs got soooo overnerfed.
Ppl may have forgotten, but those used to drop 250kg instead of… 1 or 2 50kg bomb per plane.
Back then… yes, I could see my soldiers shit their pants. There was nobody left standing after those.
Nowadays you can stroll amongst the 5 red circles relatively safe. And the op wants to nerf bombs more…

Someone please, close this overly used complain.
If they made sandbag walls immune to fragmentation damage, and only able to be destroyed by blast damage, it would solve the issue in a dynamic way.
- If players are in the open, they still get shredded
- If players make use of sandbag walls and trenches, they will be fine, unless direct hit.

i think its only 4 per plane now
not sure, im sure i have seen one drop three
but i dont pay heed to it cuz its WEAKKKKKK
Not if you do suicide runs - also respawning as a tank and getting to the battlefield also takes time.
In CBT, planes could actually be fought effectively with MGs, which made sense back then since planes also dealt like 5 times the damage.
Overall I think plane bombs are rather “fine” right now, if you actually pay attention you can position yourself in such way that you can “drive into safety” before the bombs explode.
Rockets are broken tho, you can’t do anything about them.
What still actually bothers me is this unnecessary “rock paper scissors” gameplay - ground vehicle are simply target practice for planes - which is still why AA tanks need to be fully implemented into the game.
Ostwind and Wirbelwind goes brrrrt.
