Suicide bombers

the suicide bombing runs are getting more and more out of control and since most campaigns have planes with fairly powerful bombs its getting out of hand
Since there is no repair cost and tk penalty like war thunder it should carry over the crew lock where if u die crashing your vehicle into the ground u get say a 5 min crew lock.
If u get shot down then there will be no lock cus u got taken down fair and square. some will argue that they will accidentally crash their planes but its then a skill issue if u keep turning in a attacker and dont fly straight to regain your speed thats your problem if u are already damaged by some one and crash the person will be credited and u will be considered as shot down thus no lock.
Enlisted is not a suicide bombing simulator if u like flying planes and doing endless suicide runs this is not the game for you go play roblox naval warfare simulator or something.
This will not affect free to plays much at all because they can only bring one vehicle and 3 infantry and it takes 3 deaths to reset the first squad so it will be fine for both squads and solo fights while the plane crashed for whatever reason
For new players who cant fly a plane well in enlisted you should learn the plane u want to fly in the practice grounds or simulator war thunder before taking it to actual battle and a 5 mins lock if you crash
is not that bad to begin with since u still can play infantry while waiting for the lock to expire

Suicide bombs are essential to catch German tanks in Normandy.

Suicide bombs are essential now, since Gaijin nerfed the * out of the bombs

Nop it only needs more skill Insted of dropping the bomb 12 meters in the near direction of the enemy.

You’re trying to tell me 250 KG of trinitrotoluene WON’T do lethal damage to infantry in a 12 meter radius?

50kg
According to my test, the 50kg bomb can only blow people down at a position of 3 meters, but 250kg is not very clear.

1 hit kill to Panther or Jumbo not 12 mater but 1-2 mater or direct hit.
How many newbie player can do that?

Balance for you may not for another.

They need to get skilled, using a plane should not be like using a tank.

Dropping 4 250kg and create a killing zone of 30+ meters, literally destroying jumbo that are 10+ meters apart, this is retarded and no skilled.

If the want to invest the time to actually get good the nerf will not be a problem.

And BTW new player use rockets, if a player reach lvl 17 is not new anymore

Every gray zone camping Jumbo or Panther deserves a suicide bomb. If they introduced better counters you wouldn’t see the suicide bombers being any where near as frequent as they are now

I just don’t see the problem, I almost never die to suicide bombers. I die to the good bombers who stay in the air.

Had one muppet in Moscow last week. Every single time I killed him in his Pz IV E with my T-50 he went into Ju 87 R-2 and suicide bomb me. Amusing.

Guess I’m a wizard for being able to hit a target without crashing like an idiot.

It depends on your position.

1000 lb bombs in Tunisia have killed me on foot at pretty significant distances (~50m) even while prone, but that was when I was stuck in an elevated position, like on a hill or a rooftop.

I don’t know if many noticed, but during stage 1 of the Tunisia CBT, it was impossible to crash your plane on your 1st run after spawning. An “autopilot” kicked in and the plane nosed up, avoiding a crash.
The problem for me was that the autopilot took over before I had a chance to deliver my payload.
Another option might be to have spawning and re-arming share the same point 3000 meters from the objective.

No, that’s not true. Rockets are a far more accurate way to engage tanks, and pilots who learn a few things on the practice ranges with their bombs also become surprisingly accurate. I’ve learned over time about what speed and altitude I need to be with each type of bomb for US Allies to even make my 100lb bombs effective.

Sure, it might not be easy, but it shouldn’t be and the reports on the effects of CAS in WW2 are often greatly exaggerated. More often than not, CAS was provided by a squadron of fighters being vectored on a location. Honestly, the issue for armor comes down more to those hiding behind the out-of-bounds limits which have typically been a contentious subject.

That’s not true, given the majority of suicide bombers rarely even aim for vehicles, but rather towards the enemy who last killed them. If this is a tank, then sure it faces their ire, but it’s more often another infantryman or MG nest, and this still doesn’t address the problem of people using aircraft like disposable AT weapons.
