Fw 200 overtiered and bomber (hate post)

[Foxtrot39]

The lack of any usefull defence on this bomber make the only german heavy bomber totally helpless against ANYTHING.

Only 1 gunner is able to shoot of all the 4, and their gun is ♥♥♥♥, did 50 hit on a hurricane engine and nothing happened if its not getting oneshot by yet another-canon-only-aircraft-that-you-always-encounter.

No one understand how it feels playing bomber just to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ XP piñiata for all aircraft you encounter, no one ever escort them so bombers are force to be 20m away to hope they useless gunner might scare off an airplane that is just gonna oneshot them all in one approach

Also I don't understand how my gunner didn't shoot at 10m without being knocked out or having to reload, I have to manually fire my weapon cause they never open fire.

People were complaining about OP gunner but they for defence purpose only, fighter canon are OP because of assault purpose, did it get nerfed ? Certainly not.

The condor was a failure in RL. It was one of the bombers that were originally designed to be hidden from the public. Like the ju88 & he111, It was made to appear as a civilian aircraft, then when the wore broke out, was quickly refitted to it's bomber role.
Which is sucked at, and was later moved to coastal patrol and ship attacks.
Which it sucked at too.
Couple that with ALOT of mechanical issues and im very suprised they even bothered putting it into the game so early in the first place.

Hahaha - no, it didn't: it was one of the most succesful bombers of the war against shipping causing devastating losses so much so that Winston Churchill called them the Scourge of the Atlantic. Gotta love all these armchair generals who haven't even served in a military let alone know what they are talking about.

Yes it did.
Tho Chirchill did say that, The condor's record is one of intense scrutiny. The bomber was under intense pressure due to all the extra bomb weight, which contributed to alot of them breaking a part on landing.

It's naval carrer aside, It was not a very good bomber all around.

And what does "serving in the military" have to do with knowing a bomber almost 80 years old? Did YOU fly one 80 years ago? No? Then why make such a stupid comment?

Which was its primary historical role as a bomber and in which it did well.

Came with studying military history and know-how extensively, in particular things related to maritime operations - probably because I served as a marine in navy?
