Will bomb sights actually be implemented?

Bomb sights have been added to high-altitude bombers from BR 4 to BR 5, finally putting the belly bomb aimers to good use. Still, many worry this feature might be overpowered, and there hasn’t been much discussion about it on the forums.

On open maps like Tunisia and Moscow, bombers can make repeated bombing runs. Most players don’t bring dedicated air-superiority fighters. Free-to-play players only have four deployment slots, which are usually taken up by engineers, leaving little room for aircraft or anti-air units to intercept bombers. The situation gets even worse if some pilots only strafe ground targets and let enemy bombers run rampant.

At very high altitudes, ground infantry models fail to load, so players have to bomb blindly using objective markers. Also, walls and towers drastically reduce shrapnel damage from bombs.

On the plus side, aircraft with poor visibility such as the XA38, BJ25 and Ju 188 can aim and drop bombs accurately without risky dives. Do you think this update poses a major threat?

What do you think of the bombsight?
  • Restores historical authenticity.
  • Buffs underperforming bombers.
  • Anti-air units become more important.
  • It’s too overpowered — this feature should not be added.

I think its a bit early to tell if the bomb sights will be overpowerd or not.

It just means your bombs will go where you want them to go.

Most ppl also overlook a really important detail:
It also means bombers will be MUCH easier to take down by AA:

  • They will fly in a straight line and generally keep the same altitude. Definition of siting duck for AA.

So no it won’t be overpowered, but definitely welcome.

I think it was easier to get shot down when diving before. Bombers rely on climbing to high altitude to avoid anti-aircraft fire and fighter interception.

These large, clumsy aircraft, loaded with heavy bombs, lose altitude and energy when diving at low level, making them more vulnerable and easier to shoot down .

We might as well talk about it. After all, not everyone follows the test server.
This thing will definitely bring some big changes to the game.
Might as well let everyone know so we can all be prepared.
