Early game airplanes are awful

IL-2 is complete dogshit, just don’t use the soviet planes until you get the Yak and ride that until you get the SB-2M. That’s the only good CAS the Soviets get.

RBS rockets are trash unless you land them at a good angle into a tank since they’re only anti-tank rockets.
Meanwhile 50kg bombs on every German aircraft can just be plopped in the dirt and it’ll nuke the tank and everything around it.

As a german tanker I get killed the most by rockets and explosives.
Overall, if you want a game with a symmetrical balance, there are plenty of those on the market. Let other enjoy something fresh.

BS. Even with 250kg you need multiple passes to kill a crew, unless you are lucky and fragment goes into fuel tanks or ammo.

You’re absolute trash if you need multiple passes to kill a tank with anything bigger than 100kg bombs.

Sure buddy.

It’s called dropping accurately and if I can do it in the SB-2M where I can’t even see ahead of myself you can do it in the Stuka, 109, or the 123.
It’s 100% a skill issue, bub

Assymetric balance would be fine if the Stuka had its load of a single 250 like it did previously, but it got buffed for no reason.

Also lmao if you can’t OHK a tank with a 250kg that doesn’t even need to be close to the tank to kill it.

Teach me master! So where exactly do you drop a bomb?

On or next to the tank.
A-are you actually having trouble grasping that?

remotely close to the tank?

Haha, ok. That’s not how it works. If bomb falls directly on the tank, it will just bounce as it doesn’t explode from contact. Dropping it next to the tank, can kill it only if it lands close to one of the sides, where fragments can go through the side armor and hit ammunition or fuel tank. Most of the russian tanks, except T-26, will survive fragments on the front. On the back you might damage the engine but not much else. So if you are reliably killing german tanks by dropping bombs next to them, then there are some shenenigans going on and russians should be nerfed.

planes take practice and you need to understand how each map flows and where players bunch up

Not exactly hunting for spawn points. But looking for where people from spawn points run in a line.

But they dont bounce. They explode after a timer. You just suck at bombing

Bombs are no different to tank shells, they kill by fragments. In order to kill with an actual HE, like you do with explosive packs, you have to land it literally next to it, like less than a meter. Try killing tanks with mortar, that do only HE damage and you will see how it goes.

I can see them bounce on the hit camera, they don’t stick from the tank…

You’re bad at the game, please refrain from posting.
Bombs work fine regardless of faction.

Sure, your wisdom on the subject is clearly superior.

->be wrong
->get called out
->y-your wrong!

The hitcam saying the bomb bounced off isn’t accurate and it’s just a single frag from the bomb you dropped like a click off target bouncing off the tank
