Aircraft Bombs need a buff

As an avid pilot I don’t know if it’s its just me but it feels like I’m dropping water balloons on people when they are 500lbs bombs. Especially on tanks. Idk if there was a recent nurfing of aircraft bombs but when I place a 500lbs at the side of a tank track the tank needs to explode.

and then…

Erm actually :nerd_face:, the american bombs have way more explosives than any other bomb into the game

Lets take a look into their equivalents (the 250 kg of the other nations)

Considering you are using the P-47

dispite the 500 lbs bomb dont having to many fragments (8476) you can see that it has the biggest range and damage out all of the other bombs fragments ofc dont affect tanks if not wrong this if im not also wrong is because the 500lbs AN-M64A1 have more explosives making it more lethal than its counter parts

ofc the difference inst that massive but a little boost is a little boost

so no… buffing americans bombs is out of the table perhaps have you tried using planes with more bombs or trying to aim more precisely? is specially easier with americans on high brs btw…

and then when it comes to the bomb landing in front of the tank and not killing it is a bug… average nonsense that comes from this game as usual it happens to anyone even including experienced pilots aswell

Technically, this isn’t a suggestion. :slight_smile:

No worries, it caught me out earlier too. :slight_smile:

And just to add to the subject, no, bombs and cannons absolutely don’t need buffing. :slight_smile:

British GP 500 lbs (the ones they put on the meteor) are extremely bad against tanks but compensating in their power against infantry… they are closer to 200lb lethality against tanks but going up to the 1000lb for anti infantry from their stats.

HE has received numerous nerfs over the years to where it is now and people still complain about it. I doubt they’re gonna buff it any time soon.

rifles need a nerf to battlefields level where they don’t down unless they hit a very specific range… sick of these noobs running around with bolties and quick scoping abusing the aim assist.

King tiger h will absolutely eat these up. They eat 1k bombs from 13 feet away too quite often, sometimes not even destroying a track.

Bomb runs definitely need to be reverted back. It currently does close to nothing and is a huge waste of your team’s resources locking radios for minutes. Not to mention it serves crazy exp on a platter to players who hog planes with out contributing in a meaningful way. Often times making someone who did nothing get ranked way higher than those who did stuff.

The bomb runs used to be an actual threat and made people think twice before charging around blindly. Or took a player off the field to intercept because of the threat and not exp. Players who have everything don’t care about exp currently as well. If they were a threat again, i wouldn’t even mind nobodies getting all the crazy exp. It was an actual element to the game that had an impact on players behavior which was quite rare to begin with, but now i can quite literally ignore it all together as an infantry personel. Risk reward game play adds so much to a game. Games are boring when when game play is brain dead. It’s risky to lock up artillery and paid off oh so sweetly when it did.
