…like for fucking real… these 250kg(500lb) ass rape bombs are really killing the game…

Or you could just build a AAA cannon and deal with it yourself.
Or you could bring a plane and dogfight them.
The Germans don’t have 250lb (~120kg) bombs. They apparenly had only 250kg or 50kg - and somethign luej the Ju-188 might carry 30 of those - spreading hte love even further!!lol
I love seeing people give this absolutely horrible advice

Granted the AAA cannons barely work lmao. Just thought I’d give the obligatory AAA cannon response to these threads until the devs do something about their usefulness.

lol thats if AA cannons were actually even fucking worth building… you cant track shit with these slow ass turning + shooting FF (Fucking Fail) cannons…iv taken down more planes with a bren machine gun… like hell the mounted machine guns that can aim high enough work better as AA guns then the friggen current AA turret…

After D-Day event on Normandy, I agree with you. There is some bizarre thing going on where you get killed by a bomb if you just have a line of sight to it, the distance can be easily about 100 meters. In Moscow campaign I’m used to going prone when I hear bombs or Stuka and that did helped a lot, especially saving bots. In Normandy, maybe because most of the bomb loads are bigger, it worked differently. You see A-20 passing by something like 100 meters away, so you ignore it, then you are dead.
Now I understand those complains that people had.

Anti Air needs a massive buff, i have no idea why the Devs buffs planes hp, before was perfect…
Nerfing the bombs is dumb because of historical reasons, I’m fine with nerfing the bombs if you nerf all the Factions. But not just Germany because you played Allies

Historically they worked differently. Large casualty radius is caused by fragmentation, not the HE explosion itself. But in game, currently infantry doesn’t see any fragmentation and “virtual fragments” are moving with a speed of light. So even if you see a dropped bomb 100 meters away, you can’t get into cover from it unless you are already in the cover. The other part is that you are not guaranteed to die after getting a hit by a fragment or getting hit at all, where is in game you are just dead.
I understand that it’s difficult to sim thousands of fragments in a multiplayer game but algorithm needs a change, it’s too arcady right now to claim some historical accuracy.

well then replace the german planes with 50kg’ers… these multi squad wiping 250kg bombs are wayy too annoying like you get people using these pulling scores like 150 kills and 3 deaths… people don’t wanna play against that shit bombs that can take out close to half a team in a single drop…
If you want the devs to listen we need to stop supporting the game whatsoever. I don’t see any other way

The other suspicion I have is just bugs with terrain. The same heavy bombs have much less of the effect on Moscow campaign and one of the differences between Normandy and Moscow is that Moscow maps are much flatter. I don’t know if landscape has a double sided collision or bomb exploding under the landscape can throw fragments all around regardless of cover. But it feels like it’s a later behavior.

It bothers me more that someone does 150+ (7000 points) kills and the rest of the people during the Battle 40-50 (2000 points). Lower points for kill from bombs plane need
Just looked it up - teh 188 only gets 10 50kg - which would be fine in hte Moscow campaign…
And the A-20 has an alternatice load of 12 x M8 rockets - sanyone who flies the P-38 will tell you how crap they are!.
Personalky I’d do away with a/c altogether - but I don’t think the loads are goign to change much if at all.

If you nerf the Bombs you need to nerf all the factions. Nerfing just Germans makes 0 sense, All Late Game German Planes lost their Bombs/ Rockets. While US keeps them and even stronger versions, so the US is actually the better faction to play for bombing runs
You can get the same EXP as someone using planes with a lesser kills if you play the objective. And also taking down tanks, using the engineer squad, using tank to rake up assists…
Or you can learn to use a plane. Whatever suits the player. A kill is a kill regardless of how it is done.
well no shit i meant both factions… i was just replying to the comment about how german planes only had 50kg and 250kg loads…
Haven’t you noticed the rockets doing the same damage as large bombs since the HE buff or are you situationally blind?
yea but rockets actually require a decent amount of skill to get large kills… the 250kg bombs will basically always pull 5-25 kills if you drop it on or around a capture point…
I say its the other way around, getting rockets is much easier than Bombs imo. Bombs u need precise locations, but with rockets you can dive at 0m and still get the kills (Which let you see infantry real close)
