whats the deal with revenge bombing?

[skyraider74]

Look, bombing someone for revenge is annoying. But why is it so hated? Like if an enemy kills you, wouldnt you try to find them and fight them again?

Not only do you get satisfaction, but you get extra Silver Lions for killing the last person that killed you.

at least to me is not the the revenge bombing that's an issue is how easy it is to get the information on the person that kills you because of the kill cam and also the fact the some players with throw the match in an attempt to revenge bomb, a while ago i think it was a glitch were there wasn't a kill cam on RB and revenge bombing didn't felt so bad because they didn't know right away where to go.

Was that at the same time as no markers were showing in rb when an enemy was hit and only actual bino markers were working?
If so then i think i remember enjoying it more than normal.

typically speaking, i will purposefully revenge bomb instead of spawning in another tank if the enemy is:
- capping a point or about to be capping a point
- stationary and defending a point
- holding some sort of sniper position/strategic position that is threatening the success of the team

there is no such thing as 'bad' revenge bombing regardless, since by destroying an enemy, you're taking a tank off the field, helping your team win, and enriching yourself. people get this mentality that because they went to perfect camping spot #28 and started mopping the floor with the other team, now they're entitled to be left alone and kill you all game.

do your team a favor and go revenge bomb, and if you can save some bombs for the other guys too, well, that's how matches are won

Disagree here, but that is the reason for some.
Its just another form of tunnel vision. Not only is one of the previous posts right, that the information of your killers location is just handed out via death cams, now often the person who died is just thinking, 'he killed me, ill kill him back'. While removing a player is always a positive, it can still be a bad thing.

Often there is a tank or 2 actually causing bigger problems for your team, or a cap being taken, but instead ill just kill the guy who killed me.
You see it so often, 3 tanks with a ton of kills on the cap decapping and the R3 or EBR thats out in the open with a single kill gets an aircrafts entire ordinance dropped on it, often with the plane crashing into the ground/impact timer on just to make sure the salty pilot gets his revenge.
Watching people waste all their bombs(and turf their plane) on something that can be strafed while theres a group packed close enough a bomb could almost score a triple kill just makes you realise the decision making abilities of some players.

I play like everyone I kill is capable of revenge bombing, i never stay in the same spot after I kill someone. I revenge bomb and have no problems when people do it to me, I expect it. Furthermore if I do get yeeted and have the spawnpoints to go into a plane why wouldnt I? Finally if a better target presents itself of course it would be prudent to take it but a good place to start looking for a target is the last place you got shot from. Its part of the game and its part of combined battles. This is warthunder.

Good luck changing human nature.

Bonus points if you kill someone that killed you.

And revenge satisfaction

Bombing someones tank with a plane isnt "fight them again" its being a salty ♥♥♥♥♥ that cant deal with defeat (being outplayed) its just a legal cheat. If you wanna "fight them again" then spawn a ground vehicle and go for it.

Getting this angry about it is also salty.

I used to get salty, not anymore... or else bullpups would make me go insane...
What annoyed me was the "wouldnt you try to find them and fight them again?" bit...

Say you want revenge, say its fun, say its strategic... been there, done that...
just dont try to sell it as friendly rilvary / sportsmanship...
not sure if Im making my point clear...

Did it yesterday to a Puma, killed 6 players defending C in White Rock Castle, tried to move to a better position and a Puma outsmarted my SU-85 and cornered me for 3 minutes while my team gave zero ♥♥♥♥♥ untill he slowly killed me, came back with a P-47 and got my revenge, it felt nice and was strategic since 4 players (more like bots) couldnt deal with him...

Depends on the situation. If I see my team is being over run on a point and I can take them all out with 1 or 2 bombs? I'm bombing them instead of the guy who killed me.

If I can't see anyone or there aren't many viable targets due to a team wipe, then I will go for the target that killed me, as I know where it is.

[Hammer Of Evil]

its cause you need an airplane to fight me cause your tank game weak lol

[BlueBomber]

Its a gameplay mechanic, you even get an "Eye for An Eye" reward for it. In arcade they even has the courtesy to put a skull symbol on the guy so you can bomb them easier :)
