bombers in air RB

[modelmaker]

i love having the entire enemy team dead except for 1 bomber thats in the stratosphere and my whole team loses because that 1 bomber is still alive despite the fact that 80% of my team is alive.

With an hour game you can win a ticket fight. You just go full pve, strafe ground targets, if you have a fighter that can mount bombs, return to the field and rearm with those.

I've had games like that, we only had 200 tickets left to victory when the game ended and they gave us the victory. That was huge RP and SL payoff.

Okay, it's not fun, but if most of your team is alive and you still lose by ticket bleed then your team failed at playing the objectives. Either get a good climber to get him or have all of those living players go ground pound. Actually, better to hedge your bets and do both.

Should also note that M2/M3 Browings, MG-151s and a few others can make quick work of Light Bunkers. Those gain points like crazy as well as contribute well into ticket bleed. Just need to be patient with it and not get too greedy. With a P-47, I'd much rather use my guns on those than drop bombs with how random that is now. Usually can bag an easy 5 to 7 on a single sorte.

Tanks are another issue though. More on a conditional basis. Bombs and rockets are needed for those more often, specifically heavy tanks.

Have you ever thought that having to pay 41,200 (Stock) sl is fair and fun?

No then why should anyone else be forced to pay that, So what do you do? You make sure you DON'T DIE.

if you dont want to lose SL on your bomber then dont play it, what is fun about hovering 15km up for 15 mins and doing nothing?

well it doesnt help nobody on my team grabbed anything attacker related, but we were playing at 7.7 so our guns could do it, the 5 players that were sitting right next to all the ground units did nothing. the only reason i didnt go after the ground targets is because i was relatively closer to the bombers than i was to the ground targets themselves.

Blame gaijin for that. not the player. Imagine having close to no rewards for bombing stuff in a plane you like. And losing your entire poorass income if you even get damaged.

[E-Man720]

As has been said above.

Now this from the pov of someone who flies bombers regularly. Gaijin has significantly nerfed bomber gameplay in the time I've been playing. For some of the most RP and SL intensive planes at their BR's, the rewards are rubbish (You getting 1 kill, more than equals multiple bases destroyed for me) and large repair costs, and some some the most intensive crews to train. Moving on from that point, apart from the odd 1/1000 when the AI gunners do something, they are generally blind deaf and stupid, even fully upgraded, and manually aiming the guns can be hard if the enemy doesn't sit behind you, and even then, a quick burst of anything rips and tears your plane apart. To the point that bombers all split up at the start of the game because then at least someone will make it. Going formations just gives them multiple easy kills.

Personally, I always try to land after bombing, and usually off the enemy the option to ground pound while I sit on the runway, otherwise I J out after I'm reloaded if I'm the last one left.

Guy did what he had to win the match. Did you expect him to screw himself and all his dead teammates over by dropping down and letting you kill him?

Football players ground the ball to run the clock down, basketball players linger in the back court to do the same. Sometimes being passive is the best way to go.

If 80% of your team can not alter the tide of the game by taking out ground and air AI targets, the problem isn't with the bomber in orbit, the problem lies solely with you and your team.

i couldnt go after the ground targets, by the time i actually got to them the match would be over. most of the enemy team was AD-1 turboprops, nobody on mine had an attacker or bomber of any kind. i get why the bomber stayed up there i would have done the same, but because we were all matched together with no ground attackers it meant we had no way of damaging the bases and if we went after ground targets early game we would waste all of our ammo and get killed by an enemy. actually that almost happend to me when my jet was being chased by a higher tier prop, i had no ammo and i wasnt going to dogfight him. its like the 2 fighters that were on the enemy team were just using the attackers as bait, they failed at killing any of us though.

You should be happy for that bomber they just had the only good game they'll get for a year.

RB air match time is shorter now, much less time to catch up to that bomber or bomb ground units.

But if you've killed all the fighters, theres nothing to stop you ground pounding. And apart from the older maps where you can target the airfield, the bomb bases don't contribute anything meaninful to a win or loss.
