Remove the radio bombers from the game completely

They’re the easiest way for trash players to throw the match, they completely ruin the momentum of pushes and only serve to generously donate objectives to the enemy team while also giving any enemy pilots free points.

If the dev team is so adamant about doing nothing with them, not buffing them or making them not interfere with the rest of the team’s artillery, then just make things better and remove them outright

I’m against removing them because thematically they deserve to be there. They definitely need to be reworked, though. As is they are shit, and also prevent other better options while being shit.

Imo “radio call” shouldn’t be the limiting factor to making a radio call.

“I can’t call artillery because the radio is busy calling bombers” :slightly_smiling_face:

The radio is busy?..

No. It’s a part of the game. Reworke it, yes, delete it, no!

Imo:
at the start of the game, the countdown should be 1minutes, like this other players can use their own arty.

During the game , we should be abble to call smoke screen when stupid player call air bombers.

But don’t remove it. It’s free points for plane or AA gunner.
And yeah, sometimes, on open map, it’s work, or it’s blowing enemy’s AT mines or Rally points, and that’s cool.

Change them to heavy bomber planes and buff them a bit

Doesn’t fix the issue that they take up an entire team’s artillery

I agree with Gilt here.

They need to be taken from the players.
Let them arrive automatically as support for the losing team.

I disagree. Regular artillery is obviously good for immediate support and that contrasts with Bombing Runs potential to destroy rallies and enemies in a large area

Yes the bombing run in its current state is not that effective, but that’s why I think the solution is to buff it. That way it is viable

Calling in bombers used to be stronger but players complained, so they were nerfed. iirc they dropped more powerful bombs, not sure on the specifics.

I would like to see them become a threat again, so I think a buff of some sort is necessary. Right now they are just free xp for enemy pilots.

Finding a way to balance bombers so that it doesn’t totally block team artillery would also be very nice to see, would make smoke artillery more common as right now it is very rare to see.

How did i know this post would be from you? :thinking:

Bombers are situational and mostly used to cover a larger area where the enemy could be and when you know a large spread out attack is coming. I.e best used on defence when you know the enemy isn’t localised on a single point like on attack.

While not being as strong as the old Stalingrad bombers, every now and then they will surprise me and I’ll get 20+ kills but then other times I’ll get less than 5.

In my honest opinion though, all forms of artillery should be outright removed as it is a cheap no skill ability that requires 0 amount of brainpower, no interesting gameplay at all and rewards people for being lazy. Only IDF there should be is mortars and that’s it. If you use artillery, you’re equally as trash.

Main issue in my opinion with Bomber raids is they are too easy to intercept at least for Allied air because some reason the Axis bombers still rarely ever shoot back.

Yeah I’ve also noticed that bug, sometimes they don’t shoot back

In other words bombers are trash

Tldr: arty is for trash players in general.

Everyone uses arty, trash players use bombers

And people who use arty are trash, same as your bomber user opinion.

Except the people who use bombers actually are trash. Taking an amount of time that your team could have used to drop 3 artillery strikes, risking the entire thing just getting farmed for points, and then watching it get a grand total of 2 kills is something noobs do.

Ironic that you’ve been in games with me where I’ve got 20+ kills with a bombing run in games where artillery has been less beneficial or useless. I.e if the point is inside a building and attackers aren’t attacking in a concentrated area.

Both arty and the bombers need skill and basic logic to use them properly imo
