I don’t understand all the nerfs recently, bombers no longer used as useless by a lot of players, hmg not penn’ing wood now, I followed this game since beta, but I’m not convinced with these recent decisions.
I was main pilot, even before bombers I would have a fighter (usually premium) on a campaign hoping a plane would go up to duel me.
I just don’t understand these decisions, the main thing I loved more than anything else was the amount of air traffic, the bombers weren’t even that difficult to shoot down, as gunner had tracers…
It seems to me that DF misread or misunderstood the underlying fundamental issues, made rash decisions and now I have empty skies in Moscow, Tunisia, and Stalingrad and Pacific…
This has meant that my experience has gotten worse and perhaps the 10k gold I was going to spent this or next week is better saved.
I’m addicted to this game, but I think I’ll give it this week to see how it feels, on Moscow, with no air, if no improvements are made then will take a break.
As much as I despise bombers, they were overnerfed as they should be dropping more than 1 bomb each. The devs are just awful at balancing and need an entirely new team that actually plays the game to handle balancing. That and actually listening to the playerbase. I really don’t see the devs getting their shit together though sadly which also means this game won’t get a larger playerbase.
the fuck did you do before bombers existed? i dont understand why people are upset that they cant shoot AI bombers and want it back. Why didnt you guys complain two weeks ago about “empty skies” and how shitty planes are? Theres a million ways to make air combat interesting in Enlisted and yet theres never been a significant push for it
i dont care about planes, but buffing of wood… and all cause they implemented HMG. ffs in real life MG-s can go through wood as well as rifles, not to mention HMG.
Ya, they definitely should have gone about this a different way. Perhaps replacing the wood structures with metal in Moscow. Devs can never be trusted to balance this game
This patch is dog shit, feel like a predatory biz . You get allured by new features and new toys to buy it and then get nerfed or obsolete. High calibre machine gun can’t pierce through wood ?? Are you kidding me?? I can imagine against light tanks and plane is useless now…
What a way to treat the ones who support the project…
be aware Spending money in this game. They might screw you in the ass again with other promises they might be taken away later.
Please revert the patch it’s dogshit. This is not the way
And I don’t understand why people are upset bombers existed. There is a two way street to everything,
bombers require no skill, because it’s point click. Well I can say that for nade launchers too. But you don’t see people raising pitch forks to nerf those.
Bombers were too hard to shoot down and aimbot gunners. They fixed that. But nope they had to nerf everything into oblivion because nobody wants to GO UP IN A PLANE AND SHOOT THEM DOWN. It may not be rewarding for you to take up a plane/player spot to deal with a problem that enemy player just point and clicked on, BUT it gave players who like to fly a reason to help the their team and give them great XP in return.
Now wooden walls nerfed because people can’t handle HMGs shooting into them. This playerbase can’t handle anything remotely powerful. It’s like they are a fish out of water wondering what the hell to do next. It’s annoying because DF is listening to some of them.
Persisted and waited patiently for my solo opportunities with my fighters ie I-16 was my go to for Moscow, also when my clan was on and kicking butt I would go up in sky and patrol… fighters and CAS, there was always a mindset that fighters weren’t worth it, only planes with ordenance IR CAS would get you kills. I was end game max on all campaigns, so another reason I would fly over boots on ground, I loved proving my whole side air support, shooting down the CS, bombers, the lot, it felt good. It isn’t a new thing, fighters just were given a purpose and now as far as I’ve played since, people just don’t bother… so maps become the same stale dead airspace like they used to be.
Because most maps are so open which allow bombers to clean sweep the map at times. Also because it just increases shellshock which is never a good thing. I hate them personally
bombers were shit for open maps and they destroyed lot of rally points that were in safe zone. and they added HE spam which is really too much in this game.
Literally nothing you said has changed as a result of bombing runs being nerfed. If anything, CAS is MORE important after the bombing run nerfs. It’s quite literally the exact same game (in that regard). Maybe theres less planes because the playerbase is dwindling
The playerbase is far from dwindling, the thing was CAS and suicide bombing was becoming a past meta thing, it was more about how many air raids you could stop or shooting down that escorting fighter.
Also CAS was being shot down by the new influx of fighter pilots… I’m going to see over Christmas, but holding on to gold for now, let’s see if these decisions stick and how bad it is in certain campaigns.
Then go up and shoot them down!!! Place AA and shoot them down!!! Everyone is complaining about how OP they were but nobody stops to think how to kill them. I shot down 3 complete bomber formations in Stalingrad one map. It felt satisfying knowing my team wasn’t going to get rekt by bombs. It was rewarding! Now nobody uses them. And gives people that like to fly a reason to help in a combined arms game. This is not COD, there are other things besides infantry.
Here is the issue, practically every match consists of one or two people carrying the team. So when you leave to shoot them down you lose the obj. If the devs could make a matchmaker rather than more fucking premium squads the game would be so much better.
no, no we arent. We’re complaining because its a shit mechanic. Getting blown up by a dude who is AFK grilling a steak in the back of the map while pressing “7” isnt fun, its stupid. Having to deal with that kind of gameplay, at all, is stupid.
You like to fly, and you like to shoot down enemy planes. Me too, I get it. But bombing runs in their current implementation aint it, chief. Devs should go back to the drawing board and come up with something that makes flying worthwhile and actually fucking fun. Theres lots of ways to do it.
