Your first note is interesting given the A8 is one of the best planes next to hispano and 30mm bearing planes for shooting down bombers… i think it’s fitting if you want to make such a crusade to include clips of this instead of going off pure heresay
Some of them also just have less gunners… in odd places or you’re in their blind spot.
Making them harder to kill won’t fix the inherent problem of them taking too long and doing too little damage.
I propose… if you’re so adamant on wasting team resources you also waste your own time to ensure their survival… have an option to pilot the gunners yourself switching planes and gunners alike.
Frankly these need a complete rework or removal from the game… not some patchwork that only serves to make their only good purpose which is point farming harder to do.
I think it won’t be a waste of resources, I would imagine it is just a list of what planes and faction are and aren’t enemy.
Beside bomber farming is easy xp, I think it should be a challenge, not just see them fly towards and profit.
It is my time and in my opinion not a waste, we all have different reasons we play the game, I support this project and have over 8.8k hours, so if you don’t mind, it’s my choice to do this, instead of critique you could give examples yourself
Long time ago, I noticed that the Ju-88 gunners never shoot.
No matter which aircraft I’m flying in.
I’m not sure which map they appear in, or what makes the bombers Ju-88 or He-111 for example.
Anyway, when I see that the bomber raid is Ju-88’s, I can just take them all out without them firing a single shot at me.
Yes, if you can make a note of planes and bomber and BR it might help, I’ll be compiling a list, but not a guarantee bombers spawn free lane slot, so may take time any support with this would be appreciated.
The different bombers are related to the radio squads, so if Italian radio ops, then Italian bombers can spawn
YEah makes sense, lets make sure they do the maximum damage using a cheap tactic like bombers. Why not suggest making the timer shorter like 30 seconds while you are crying about it? They are easy to shoot down so your team does not hand someone 500 cheap points wiping out people on the ground with no way to defend themselves. Like the poster above mentioned git gud and shoot down the attacking plane. I do this all the time. If you can count from 1-5 its easy to figure out. Do you know how to count 1 to 5? 1, 2 ,3 ,4 5. See that simple and I am not making a post about it. Angle of attack is everything when it comes to bombers. You can angle them or fly past and curve behind them at an angle as well.
Wake up on the wrong side of the bed? move along oscar.
Even i was so inherently disgusted by this suggestion as like i said only makes them harder to kill yet give respect where it’s due like some bombers just do not shoot… which is in fairness technically a bug that should be fixed.
I have killed one with a pistol but to be fair I killed the crew with my sniper then the last shot on the tank was my pistol giving me the auto kill. Got planes more than once with flame throwers. That one is not that hard.
