Soo bomber spam is still a thing huh?

Under the graphics, it’s just a numbers game. Adjust the damage and radius of effect… voila!! It is way OP right now. I’m not all that good and had a 14, 15 and 24 kill bombing run in one game. That’s way too much. It is a game after all… to have fun… entertainment… remember??

Russian community is mostly dissapointed cause you can only do 10+ kills in one run.
Typically I see this - I quit a match.

In the whole world there is not a single weighty argument that would explain why in a game that is positioned as a game about infantry, a person by pressing literally one button can annihilate half of the enemy team once a minute. If they think its balanced… Well, then I quit and wish them good luck bombing bots. Because what you see at this screenshot is happening every single match and not even a single time in a match. “Build AA” they say. Oh yeah, just let me suicide 3 squads to pick engeneers, build a useless AA and die to another bomb while I’m building.

The main issue with planes is that you often can’t do anything.

You freshly respawn in a squad you’re excited to level up ? Instantly wiped after 10 meters out of spawn.
You finally got on the objective after fighting your way through MG nests and sniper fire ? Here’s a dude in aplane pressing space, you’re dead.
You hear the plane coming and hide in a building ? You lost the explosion toin coss and got killed through the wall.

Currently bombs make your skills and decision as a player irrelevant. Rockets too but to a lesser degree.

I mean let’s compare it to the other “non infantry” unit in this infantry-focused game (allegedly) : the tanks.

Tanks you can counter. They require LOS, you can use a bomber (the soldier class) that you can include in most squads, you can outsmart the tank and throw an explosion pack, you can build an AT Gun (which is actually good at its job).
Hence almost nobody complains about them, because fighting them is fair and does not require you to go entirely out of your way, most squad you spawn with have one or more ways to deal with them. And in the WORST case you can avoid them.

Facing a tank is a puzzle, your own mini boss battle, odds are against you but with luck and skill you can prevail. You don’t NEED to spawn in a tank to face it, you have options.

Facing a plane is a coin toss if you squad will be in its path, and if it is you can only wait to respawn.

Same reason why people hate arty in some games or aircraft carriers in some other games. But bombs in Enlisted is artillery multiply by CVs and double that result. You literally do:

  • counter tanks
  • counter infantry
  • counter all buildings and structures that a squad of engineers was building for a couple minutes
  • your only true enemies are other planes and by picking yours you make enemies pick what they maybe don’t want to play and hunt you
  • your can drink coffee while playing and still stand on the first place because of that spacebar magic
  • if someone got you, you can jump off and suicide to not let them have a kill
  • you are about to get some gunners onboard sooner or later

Logic has quit this chat.

At the moment I will continue quitting every match where I see this shshow with 10+ kills by pressing one button without taking any risks.
