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?

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.

100% agree.

I love revenge bombing, it's a candy in my mouth.
But I usually try to see the best way to use my bombs.
I prefer obtain a "strike" with 2-3-4 ennemies with one ordinance than just have my revenge.
But "personnal revenge" will occur if it serves the general interest. And only in that case.

And, yes, it's painful to see too much planes players crashing for bombing. It's useless & irrespectful for the others.

Exactly.

Damn the support of hate for "revenge bombing" is cancerous in most cases
Unless they hop into some Pe-8 or whatever and waste a bomb larger than 1000kg for "revenge", there nothing ♥♥♥♥ or petty about it.

The person died to you, you are there last known target, they knew where you were at, and likely where you might move to, you are an easier target compared to almost everyone else since your location, where you are heading, and etc is basically known by them.

If there s was a group of 3 enemies huddled together and the person that killed me is somewhere else, I'd of course go fo the group, but not everyone would know theres a group, you either have to spot it beforehand, spot it before you died, see the group on the map, the person that killed you is the easiest target because that persons location is ingrained into your mind, you know where they are, especially with the kill cam.

You have three tasks in every game, kill enemies, capture points/objective, and support team. By killing enemies, capturing points/objective, you support your team whether in a major OR minor way.

Your mindset is either on capturing the point, killing the enemy, or both, unless you waste something genuinely huge like a 2000kg bomb you are still directly helping your team by "revenge bombing", by removing enemy of course, may be beneficial, may not

People genuinely hating about this can't even process the idea that actions have consequences, you kill someone, they want to kill you, you probably would feel like wanting to kill them afterwards. Everyone has different means of achieving so.

if you just sit and the same spot without moving ever, you deserve the bomb or cannon or rockets.

Revenge bombing is genuinely bad if its wasteful (uses bomb more than 2000kg for one target) or they suicide bomb

The main point is if you kill someone, the easiest target to kill is you since they know where you last were, where you are liking headed or staying, and tunnel vision my make them focus way to much on you

Quite simple really...just wish more players had the same grasp of this game. If there are ten ways to die in WT then you will see a variety of posters whining about 10 ways they've died.

"J" the F out. if the ♥♥♥♥ is so mad to revenge kill you imagine how pissed they would be if you J out at the last second and only for you to spawn back with an SPAA to kill them again <3

Then you loose the ability to yeet them with your tank cannon (sometimes before they even get to kill you). A lot of times the "revenge bomber" type of player people are referencing will fly super low...

[Fizwalker]

Going to toss my two cents here, but I don't really see an issue with revenge bombing per se.... Unless the person wastes their plane doing it. I do tend to end up seeming at least to revenge bomb but I also tend to die near caps so... Yeah, I'm going back to the cap to help clear it, if you're still there, then chances are good that I am going to take a shot at you.... (whether I succeed or not is somewhat different question!) Alternatively, I will try to find a target in a difficult position to kill so my team can advance. It also depends on if I see the target too... Do have to say that I enjoy seeing the opposing team's aircraft crashing when trying to get me, so... Yeah. (I also generally figure that the enemy is also doing what they can to win as well. *Shrug*)

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.

Bro if I see on low br for example a crutch t34, Sherman or m18 abuser, of course I'm taking them out. Helping them learn the game by putting them in a different tank. That's it

In countries with bad tanks or you abuse a broken one, it's tactical answer. Learn to play lmao
