Early game airplanes are awful

You can see difference between the bomb and the fragment…

Nah just needed an illustration to help you understand

Sadly we can’t see replays of the battles. Would be an easy argument to solve.

I mean you are just wrong, but would be nice to give you some pointers to play better

I mean, everyone here but you can kill tanks just fine with bombs.

If you can’t kill a tank with 250kg bomb everytime, then your aim is off.

Stukas are the best precision dive bombers (but that’s what they were for). And I wouldn’t go crying about payloads, you are lucky the stuka r-7 doesn’t have it’s 1000kg bomb

IL 2s trade precision and payload for armor and forward firepower. Still very effective. Not a dive bomber, have to fly it differently. I also suspect the bombs don’t release immediently as they are internal. Also il2 never carried bigger bomb. Cluster bombs could be an option.

Bf110 is just great. Again lucky it’s not carrying a 1000kg and a 500kg.

The early biplanes fly circles around the stuka and il2 so they have their use.

It had 4 100kgs previously in CBT

The IL was nerfed and the Stuka was buffed.

I meant bigger than 100s. I got no issue with it having 4 personally

Don’t care free food for my Yak

Like I said, the current payload on the IL-2 is perfectly viable, but the Stuka is overpowered and should be reverted to 1 250 to come in line with the IL-2.

To be in-line you would have to give it 20mm cannons too (stuka d5)

Then there’s the no rockets thing.

You are right about balance, I’ll give you that. But I rather like planes, vehicles and weapons being true to what they were. Otherwise there is no flavor in playing different sides.

I hear they are working on payload options.im sure the warthunder payload system will follow.

Vehicles being true to what they were requires added variables we don’t see in game, on top of bombers not being 100% willing to bomb their own teams.

I don’t think anyone was asking for >100s on IL-2, they would just like to have the 100s back that it used to have.

The thud noise and indicator SOMETIMES pops up. There’s loads of times where there is no thud noise, there is no indicator, and my plane is just damaged.

It happened often enough I actually thought there was realistic wear on the planes. Like I was pulling up too fast or turning too fast. Until I intentionally started flying like maniac to see if I could replicate it.

I’ll see if I can get a clip of it

After watching through you can hear a quiet thunk, but zero indicator telling you you got shot.

I really hate how you can’t edit a post in this forum.
