Leveling allies Lv 3 Attacker squad is by far the most painful experience I’ve ever had in Enlisted

Wanna try shallow dive bombing?
You’ll probably rip your wings in the dive.

Wanna go for a strafe?
A random guy with MG on the ground will teach you a lesson.

Wanna utilize those good offensive armaments?
Too bad you are the slowest plane in high-BR matches.

B-25J is literally the worst BR5 heavy bomber in the game.

Change my mind.

Essentially, in terms of anti-air combat capabilities, these aircraft and vehicles only sit at a BR of 3.7 or 4.0. Yet you’ll frequently face vehicles and jet fighters rated at 6.0, 6.7 or even 7.0 right alongside them.

These underperforming bombers remain at lower battle ratings solely because they can carry massive bomb loads. Down the line, Stukas carrying 1800kg bombs will likely be bumped up to BR 4 or BR 5. That’s why I’m not fond of bombers. Their battle rating is mostly determined by ordnance capacity, while flight performance gets overlooked. This plane is notoriously flawed; its own bombs can even take out the pilot during a dive attack. It really only belongs at BR 3.

I think it would work better if anti-air vehicles became widely accessible to all players. Bombers could keep their heavy bomb loads but get shot down far more easily, which would justify lowering their BR. It’s frustrating to fly a bomber packed with explosives, only to be completely outmatched by enemy fighters.

That’s cute.

Try leveling any Sniper III or Flamethrower II squad. 11k XP, for just the first level, is a joke.

You can use the P-47 on the Attacker III squad, can you not…?

Nope, P47 still stuck with Attacker II tech tree squad (or Legacy Attacker II from Normandy).
Only next major’s update will bring new F7F-1 plane to Attacker III.

When it comes to leveling squads, Japan Fighter I squad is forever stuck in my memory, what’s with old XP requirements being much higher. Getting 2 60 kg bombs after fully leveling this squad was real cherry on top.
Also, still waiting for planes other than A5M4 for them.

Really…? I thought Euthy said that they were going to be given access to the P-47 as well… Has that not been implemented yet…?

Fresh screen. Attacker III squad not found.
And event P47 stuck with Attacker II from tech tree or Attacker I Legacy from Normandy (completely forgot A25G was first Attacker in Normandy, those were wild times).

Interesting.

I have all Japanese squads maxed out, except for Attacker and Fighter I squads.
I have around ~280 squads max leveled across the four factions, but I just cant bring myself to deal with these two. Even though I would like to have all of my squads maxed out and there are only a few remaining.

Wait until update drops you gonna get amazing plane until then use B-25KJ as a paratrooper squad :smiley:

I legit like the flamethrower squad, they are the best counter to APC and i love it. Just 1 guy will decimate the entire APC squad.

I love the B25, the gunners shed bombers and other planes and it carpet bombs a whole area that I don’t even have to aim.

I really like how the A5M4 flies, but the armament is lame even at br1.
