What kind of player would keep calling for bombing run when facing the US faction?
I really can’t think of any words to curse such an existence.
From a angry player who guard the sky at whole game. But didn’t get the medal due to the teammate keep calling flying turkey for the enemy team.
actually it can serve a purpose where you can take 1-2 players out of defending/attacking cause they will be chasing bombers. although usually it is just waste of artillery time that could be spent blocking reinforcements to the cap.
One of my recent matches. One retard was calling bombers 5 or 6 times or more.
I yelled at the chat - “STOP CALLING BOMBERS. You got only 2 kills with them”… and he called bombers again 
only least about 30s
+1 free kill to friendly plane
But makes them lose two medals
And lock arty ofcourse
Totally not worth it, chasing bombers takes less time than rearm
I think it is because idiots have problems with reading and do not realize that they often get between 0 and 5 kills with bomber raid. But they see that the red circles are bigger than the artillery circle, so “bombers will kill everything inside for sure” 
about the only use that thing has lmao
Idea #1.) Put bombers on their own cool-down slot, seperate from the rest of the support call-ins/artillery, that way even if bombers are already called in and still 2 minutes away from dropping bombs you can still use rocket, smoke, or artillery barrage.
Idea #2.) Allow support call-ins to be placed in a queue as they are called in. For example: bombers are approaching the battlefield, called in by another player, but you want to use a rocket barrage. Under current circumstances you would have to wait until the friendly bombings run is over, otherwise when you click on the support call-in map it only closes the map without accepting your call for support. Instead, your rocket barrage (or any other support call-in) would automatically start at the point you selected once the current barrage/bombing run is over with.
I sometimes use bombers to reach into grey-zone and take care of grey-zone tanks, so they certainly aren’t completely useless, and it’s nice as a pilot to have bombers to shoot at from time to time, but I can see how abusing bombing runs could be detrimental to teamplay under specific circumstances.
It depends. They can help to take out stuff in greyzone but I usually only call them if I know that the enemy has no planes in the air (although the German and British bombers have some AA potential)
Taking away the attention of two players by just pressing two buttons is insanely powerful.
Bombers need an overhaul. Its just unhealthy for the flow of the game how they work right now.
There are very rare occasions on certain maps at certain times when they are still useful.
On very open points (mostly pacific)when theres not much cover for rallies it can wipe them all out and change the flow.
Ofcourse you would only try it if you had noted a lack of air power all game.
But still…over nerfed and lacklustre
I am calling bombing runs mainly because of very immersive sirens.
They can deliver such a cool atmosphere. Especially if you have modded sounds.
Btw., I couldn’t care less that I am boycotting arty “spammers”. I don’t need them.
It does nothing
It allows enemy planes to farm
Is stupid
I think that the bombers should be more effective
IF THEY AT LEAST WERE FASTER OR MORE DESTRUCTIVE
#stopcallingbombers
I love when my own team calls bombing runs. Yes you’ve read well.
Because I’m often in the skies… and a huge 5 red doritos bait appears for the enemy planes I’m hunting. Who would’ve thought! they always stop what they are doing to chase those bombers away… forgetting… I’m right over them.
Bring back 250kg and 500lb bombs
ye, 9/10 bombing runs are useless/bad compared to normal arty.
But in certain situations on certain maps they’re still better than normal arty.
That’s another story tho.
Some of us still remember the days of Stalingrad how effective they could’ve. I might live in a minor denial believing/wanting them to be better than they are since I’m sometimes try them without any luck lol.
What confuses me tho is that my partner in crime is the master of bombing runs: @Shiivex .
The man never fails to get the job done with air strikes even after the nerf. Guy’s misleading me.
Depending on the match I sometimes don’t mind it since it can bait out some pilots for me to fight. Or when the enemy team calls one it’s just free points. Though more often than not I hate when the bombing run is spammed the whole game especially in the Pacific
They dropped 250kg… many, many 250kg…
The outcome was simple: nothing that was in the red zone, was still standing after those runs. It was so fearsome everyone stopped what they did and tried their best ducking inside buildings…
I’d love something right in between the not very potent runs we have now, and the Doom runs we had in Stalingrad.
those days were ridicolous. And a nerf was more than right.
However, they probably nerfed it too much.
Someone suggested 8 planes with small bombs instead of 6.
Could be something. I’m not sure.
I have suggested this approach before aswell.
Double the amount of planes (harder to intercept all and more thorough carpet bomb) But half the score each is worth to shoot down. In total still worth same score
