how is this a troll post im giving a realistic way it could be added
OR JUST, don’t add them this is infantry based game, planes are already way way too powerful.
Stop trying to buff them they don’t play interesting/important role in the game.
There’s no realistic way it can be added, HEAVY BOMBERS DON’T CAS.
Heavy bombers go up high in the skies and send bombs to places under them…
well in defence of this idea im suggesting they only cap the heavy bomber at 1/1 usable at a time and its bomb loads will not be re-loadable so you drop it and that’s it all you got unless you have turrets on your plane
Well i dont see how a post proposing adding strategic bombers is this game isnt a troll post. If you want to play strategic bombers there is already a game for this, it is called War Thunder
All long rage bomber in ww2 dont figth in the war directly, they are use for hit enemy position like city,base,industry,railway,shipyard ecc… behind the frontline the only tipe of bomber wo have an active role during the battle is the CAS
they weren’t all just drop a bomb and boot bombers some actually had serious guns on em like the B-17, true while their main purpose was air defence they were surprisingly effective at providing ground support when the opportunity arose
I am literally speechless with people in this forum from time to time. Already planes like CAS in Normandy are broken as fuck and now you are suggesting adding strategic bombers as CAS. And you wonder why i think you are a troll
Cas to weak, the avarenge pilot player need this
well when you plane has like x8 - x13 12.7mm browning machine gun’s it can technically provide CAS…
also you ever heard of a thing called “Combined Bomber Offensive”
its when bombers are escorted by fighters so they can do their job when the enemy engages with their air defence
and ok maybe the grand slam is overkill but the cluster bombs could be interesting
i cant understand u not enough 20 kills with 1 bomb? u need more???
Hahaha … please no.
We don’t need strategic bombers doing Close air support in tactical game. Ju188 is already too much and FW190 F8 or ME410 would have worked much better.
You seen what it did in War Thunder, why would we repeat the mistake here.
Yes, BOMBERS not BOMBER. Even German Tactical bombers like HE111 that were sometimes used in CAS/Flying artillery (mostly on eastern front when Germans lost large numbers of their artillery in winter retreats) was used on mass, not individually spotting tanks and infantry, and making bombing runs on them.
God bless me.
Atleast as an bomber you can enjoy the view xD
But please no. I do play bombers, but with that you will kill the entire enemy army.
well at least the fuckin AA turret would be useful for something other then shooting ground troops with such a slow bomber in the sky… cause lets be honest here nobody uses the build-able AA turret for shooting planes down… it doesn’t rotate nearly fast enough to accurately track anything in the skies right now even if you track ahead of where its flight path is you got maybe 1 or 2 seconds max where your shots have a 50/50 chance of hitting then the plane flies out of your sights and you cant get a bead on it till its like 1000 meters out then your chance of hitting it is like -200%
Yeah. AA is another topic.
But I think adding more or bigger bombers will likely kill all of the enemy army, at least at the current state.
Imagine dropping it on a cap point.
So lets not cure the course (weak AA, aircraft rendering on long distances, HP of aircraft too strong) of the problem but lets put a Zeppelins that will also drop bombs… it is slow isn’t it?
yea that’s why i retracted the idea about the grand slam and just left the cluster bombs since clusters were loads of many smaller bombs
and since clusters don’t necessarily have to be completely dropped in a single pass the idea of making heavy bombers non-reload-able would balance them out so the only way to get another fully armed heavy bomber is to respawn as one
like every time you hit the drop bomb button it could drop 25% of the cluster load so you could potentially make 4 bombing runs or 1 huge run lol
You can have your opinion, but mine is that Strategic bombers don’t do CAS and should not be player controlled as they never acted individually. And any bomb over the 250kg should be removed.
As I mentioned, we had same in WT when only planes were present and we had nation vs nation battles (Historic battles). Every time half of US team spawned in Strategic Bombers (Flying Bricks) and spread around the map individually. Good luck trying to ask 7+ random guys to stick in formation. To everyone no surprise, German teams were 95% fighters and obliterated US teams every time.
Then the game tried to balance it by placing more Ground targets for the US teams to bomb, pushing German BR to higher levels so you had to face 1944 planes in 1941 German plane and so on…
How many times did we spread around the map trying to find one B17 that flew into the cloud and hoped that ground tickets will win for him… god, awful waste of time and awful memories.
