The YER-2

[Agonia199tp]

that stupid plane, ruins the game for everyone! Gaijin have to do something, teams of 4 with yer 2, and smug laughing, saying goodbye or this was fun! WHATS THE POINT, they go for the base and the match is of 5 mins! ♥♥♥♥ that! and all the people think that guys! talk about it! we have to report it!

If you're in a fighter, get altitude asap. Finally protect your bombers and take down enemy bombers.

Yer-2 isn't that tough, problem is just that people are lazy and/ or impatient and stay down low.

If anything I'd prefer B-17 over Yer. Problem is, at T3 I have only 2 B-17, but if I wanted I could field 6 Yer-2.

Yup i got sick of yer-2's and me being the only one that would get high to take them on, there's only so much one person can do against 2-3 yer-2's B17's and a B25 so i have dropped down to tier 2 planes for a bit.

[Agonia199tp]

man i know that, but the problem is, there's like 5 or more bombers always, I can't cover all for myself, 2 yer can destroy the base with 2 passes, is very unbalanced, and as you say, it is true that being lazy and go to the top, but sometimes you just want to destroy fighters at a low altitude, I personally do not like playing with bombers!

Its players who dont have skill that uses this tactics if you look at service status of a player who uses yers etc... to destroy bases most of them have a poor list of airtargets destroyed so they revenge on us using base rushing...sad people what is they are...the only plane its capable of handling this situations without team work is the yak-9 but i dont want to use always the same plane i want to play with other planes and this base rushers dont give me a choice i hope gajin in the future solve this!

Not true at all i take yer's out all the time with Spitfires as well as the B17's B25's Wellingtons and Lancasters. I had a round the other day on Gorge and i just paced the mountain line infront of the airfield, by the end of the round i had killed seven bombers, a mix of those named above and one fighter kill, and that fighter was the one who actually shot me down, we did win that round but only just.

Like you say, I dont want to play for just kill bombers, or use one plane, I want to have fun playing with all the planes and nations, that's all!

Just drop down a tier or two thats what i have done, or if you havent got all nations unlocked to the higher tiers then play one of them. Ok it's not ideal but it's the best you can do until either Gaijin do something about it or people learn and start climbing instead of diving.

A way for Gaijin to fix this issue would be to make the airfield invulnerable until all secondary bases have been destroyed and also make them a little tougher to destroy, at least for the higher tiers.

the german 110 , american p-39/400, japanese Ki,and any russian fighter can take down a bomber at that tier. you just have to have the right plane in your lineup.

I never said they couldn't the fact is that very few if anyone climbs to take care of the bombers
they would all rather dive and get into dog fights that they will probably loose anyway. Next thing you know the yer-2 have arrived "the airfield has been lost but we can still win the day" audio clip plays and seconds later your clicking the to battle button again.

Today I had a game where I was in a B-17, 6k meters, I took out all enemy bases, in between waiting for bombs I flew towards Yers (I figured I'm sturdy and got more than twice as many gunners, might be worth a try) and I actually managed to shoot one down. After the bases were gone, still no opponent hunter in sight, I started bombing airfield for lack of other targets.

Soon my B-17 will have the same bombload as my Yers (admittedly lighter bombs, but more), yet whenever people see Yers the whining starts, nobody seems to care about B-17.

Also I play Yers simply because I play everything, one of my aims in-game is to get every aircraft I own to elite, eventually.

As to dogfighting, why would you want to dogfight in a Bf 109, Fw 190, Kingcobra, P-38, Yaks... so many aircraft that are better taken up to altitude to spot for targets, and while you're at it, why not chose to attack a bomber instead and leave the lawnmowing-dogfighting to the spitfires and zeros (even though they are welcome up high as well of course)?

you cant shoot down a yer2 faster with other fighters unless yak-9 the yak-9 its the faster fighter shooting down any airtarget if you tell me im wrong i dont believe you!

You can kill Yers quite quickly with Las, Airacobras, and Kingcobras although you have to aim for their engines or pilot but they generally go down in a few hits if you take them from the front or side.

How is this the Yer-2's fault then exactly?

Just because the Arcade player base is, by and large, completely lazy, that's not a good reason to then nerf the bomber pilots.

Yes, I know, but the thing is, i'm in tier 3, I play in that tier, on every nation, i dont like to much play with low tiers, but you know, I have to adapt! with this bombers and situations!

Of course Yak-9 works great for that, though plenty aircraft will work just as well.

Today I one-shotted a B-17 with a Me 410 A-1/U4. Personally I also love Fw 190 to take out just about anything.

But anything really with a couple cannons shouldn't have problems shooting down a Yer, the problem is just to get to it in time.
