Played today in a game that really drove home the bombing mission issue. They were constant from both sides the whole game.
So I was wondering what might be a fair, level and common sense way to make a small change and still keep everybody happy.
This is what I think might be agreeable to all sides of the issue.
If aircraft in the raid are shot down either by aircraft or AA then they are not replaced in the next raid. Meaning if your team can kill off all of the other teams bombers then they no longer have them. The lose would be limited by flag/objectives.
Meaning if either team losses some or all of their bomber aircraft they will both get “rearmed” when the objective is captured.
It won’t be a huge change because its not easy shooting down bombers. But I suspect if this were incorporated as a change there would be considerably more effort made to shoot them down.
Could go so far as adding it as a goal.
As it is now, there really aren’t any winners. Not even the guy that called the airstrike
This would at least allow for some simple adjustments without getting rid of the whole thing.

SUPPOSEDLY the more aircraft you shoot down, the longer it takes to come back. Also, each person has their own “bombing strike”, so what might be longer for one person isn’t for another. That is my understanding of it from what my buddy explained, as he runs most of our group’s artillery.
Can we not just hard cap bombing runs to like 2 runs per team in one single match.
At least you could be more strategic when using it.

If that were the case they would need to implement a team “vote” system. As otherwise greedy players would just use them without a thought, as they get kills and don’t care about the rest of the team. In addition, the amount of power would have to be significantly increased.

Does not make sense with current level of team “cooperation”.
Oh i agree completely if it were up to me bombing runs would not be in the game

Just get rid of the darn things altogether …simple 
Please stop asking for nerfs, this game is combined arms, it has planes, tanks and infantry, it’s not fair to nerf planes ad there are people who like shooting down bombers, what they need to do is make shooting bombers down mean something, either that players bombers are destroyed, so unable to call more or it delay the frequency when bomber wings are deployed, more planes destroyed more delay in deployment.
