Are bombers really op?

Call the bombers, and 8mins = 20 kills (at most).
I think any player (with normal intelligence) driving P47/Ju188/Fw190D12/IL2m-3 can kill 50 players in 8 minutes

Not about the kills, it’s about the map control that they present. Some maps especially allow the bombers to be completely game changing most times they are called.

Then the problem belongs to maps, not bombers

Yes that’s fair to say but it’s the bombers that are controlling the game in those maps. Blame of that can go either way but for sure if the maps were reworked/adjusted to the addition of bombers then it wouldn’t be so bad. Just saying this is why they are typically pretty stupid

Since they can be called less of ten have more little bomb and can easily be destroyed by airplane or AA //// they are not OP anymore

the only reason they were OP was the 6 minute recharge WITH the 5x5 100kgs

They are shit now

Bomber are not OP, I make more kill by spawning 1 flammenwerfer squad and going inside a building.

good then drive P47/Ju188/Fw190D12/IL2m-3…

the 8 min its just for your call in particular. next player if, they own a radio squad will call the next arty smoke or bombing run .

and isnt anymore the same guy over and over.

they are still viable.

the diference now is that they can be destroyed easly. as they should.

they aint shit, far from it. still very viable.

my main issue with the nerf is that they want to nerf the damage output, which thankfully hasn’t happen yet, while increasing the time for normal arty because the other nerfs is fine imo :person_shrugging:

And all it takes is either someone taking up a plane or building AA and it’s bye bye bombers. But nope everyone to lazy to do that. So they complain and get it changed

Well most matches have like 2 people on each team so once you avert your attention you lose the point just because I stopped babysitting my team. Matchmaking would likely fix this but due to this fact bombing runs are cancer.

AAs are so pushed down in there function. Also the Bombers a flying really high and still can take a lot of damage. Also you will be able to fire on them only for a short time before they drop the bombs. So no, AA is absolutely not helping.

Not only you can call bombers. And AI is less likely to crash.

I’ve finally embraced my inner scumbag and am slowly moving to the meta. I recently put my event P47 along with my regular P47 into my Normandy Allies lineup (I can only imagine the confusion that may be causing to newer players who weren’t around for the event that awarded the P47-REEEEEE). It’s been…ugly.

Needless to say, 10K score without much of a sweat. Blew through the 1st stage of the event in hours. Also, the 47’s have 50cals for days, so I’m able to take swipes at bombers when they show up.

I’ve been shwacking bombers in the Pacific, Tunisia and Normandy without much of a hassle. I like that we can shoot them down now, it actually feels a helluva lot better than it did before. But, I’m sure Darkflow isn’t done tweaking all this just yet.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go buy some FG-42 IIs, MKbs, grenade pouches, PPshs, rifle grenades and a whole mess of other stuff…

Bomber altitude got nerfed. They fly low now
