Plane bombs after patch. What's your opinion?

How often do those bombing runs happen in HLL?

Is it selectively killing only the opponents’ team?

Is it possible to be performed by anyone willing to jump in a plane and pressing a button in an approximately proper location, as it was in Enlisted? Or it’s just one person high in hierarchy (veteran player I guess) who can wreak havoc?

Not saying that bombs should not be able to kill tanks - I’m not a tank player and not a pilot either, so I have no idea about the current status, but I was killed by bombs and I am killed by bombs as infantry, and the current overnerfed state is better than what was before as infantry.

In HLL like RO2/RS2 there is the figure of the commander who is able to use some special abilities (such as bombing) this does not happen often due to the cooldawn of the ability combined with the fact that you have to use it to do as much damage as possible to the enemy
ENLISTED (pre explosion rework): grab a bomber, press spacebar, profit

But is that every 3 minutes… 5… or 10? Just to compare with our previous “2 minute till reset” ratio.

Tldr: *
Strafing run*: Calls in a devastating strafing run on a designated location. Effective against infantry. 150 munitions - 4 minute cooldown
Bombing run*: Calls in a bombing run on a designated location. Effective against infantry and most vehicles. 300 munitions - 10 minute cooldown

Ok, then it is not really comparable to our pre-nerf situation here. Grazie! :slight_smile:

I like the commander idea, but I would emphasize that the kills produced should not be part of the hit counter for the match. Instead the commander would get a general point boost for the attack.

I want the deaths like they were before, but I want them to be claimless. This way we can keep the reasonable claim numbers we have now and still have carnage like before.

On a side note tanks need to be fixed now I think, as the light armor tanks seems to be much more resilient to incoming fire.

I’m curious, was it a direct hit to top did you bomb to the sides of the tank or did you hit in front of the tank and the tank drove onto it?

Genuine question - just trying to figure out best ways to use the new bombs vs tanks and I’m having very mixed results.

Nope. It was a dive bombing tactic since I knew it won’t work if I’m gonna do it the old way. Direct hit. Also had a game last night where my friend had no issue destroying two Jumbos with Ju-188. I marked 'em and he just dropped on top. Now you really need those coordinates/markings from your infantry friends.
