And here we have a wild schizo uttering would-be sleeper cell activation phrases.

Been a while since I've received a text box after logging in telling me someone I snitched on for foul language or teamkilling got punished, I wonder if they fired the interns manually going through them in exchange for using Gemini.
>>581429321could it be that the game knows you're mentally ill and a pedophile?

How do you do this vague bug everyone talks about
>>581430573Chudthis rape F-15s doe
I’m so happy that I unlocked the Greek sbu2 and can finally hide the star of remphan.That being said, I’m not going to play this game again until they nerf bombers. I’m all for the spirit of the buffs, bombers needed them, but if what we needed was 2x stronger, we were given 10x stronger. Went from too weak to too strong. Gaijin will correct this and I won’t play till they do. Not even complaining, I don’t have the *sraeli flag anymore and I have my 10k kills, 50:1 KDR in the g91 r1 so I’m set. Only reinstalling WT if they fix bombers because it’s just too silly rn otherwise. Like I’m not even upset or whatever, it’s more like exhausted mixed with satisfied. Y’all can enjoy it, good luck, especially those of you enjoying the BV-238 as that shit looks hilarious to play with these changes
I love gunships

Anyone else's missiles do literally no damage sometimes?
>>581436954Mine just crit instead of severe damage.And the ones that would've critical hit before now only give me a hit.
>all maps with air spawn got the selection reset>maps I spawned in the air 2 days ago are now spawning me in the airfield>dont even show the cloud icon anymore so I can tell from the loadout screen
whats the good loadout for this
>>581437073I've had a few that weren't even a hit. The missile tracks and fuzes but nothing happens, and I've been on both ends of this happening.
>>581437296For me it's the TWS losing track on perfectly visible targets at reasonable ranges heading straight for me.Not notching. Not chaffing. Not multipathing.Some sucker flying at 5km alt unaware that I'm tracking him 16km away from me and closing in really closely, and the TWS square will fade and lose track.Funny enough if I spool up my SARH but don't launch it, the missile will track the target perfectly but my plane's radar won't.
Is the F-16A ADF a good plane for 13.3?

>>581443234the point of 4x mk108s isn't that b-17s had such meaty health bars that they just needed that many guns, it's that b-17s flew in formations of up to 30+ planes and if you can kill them with a fraction-of-a-second burst it lets you kill multiple in one pass
i4w?
>fighterfags SEETHE at bomberniggers who SEETHE at us attackerchads for "stealing" their basesJust fly faster boomber.
is the gayest early support tank line still the USSR
i watched defyn's video about the new premium arado, and i'm wondering if he's retardedin the last match there were 2 enemies left, a B-29 and F-89, he wasted almost a third of his ammo on the B-29 and suffered some light damage to himself instead of hunting the F-89 right away, so he didn't have enough ammo to finish off the F-89, though the F-89 did crash eventually from being damaged and because he was stupidwhy would he go after the B-29 even though he knew he couldn't take him down easily or quickly, even though the F-89 is more dangerous and the superior plane to his, even though he had the ticket advantage and the B-29 could have done literally nothing at all to win that match

and here i thought LowIQ were the problem posters of this general
If you are a bombercel and not playing USSR, do NOT queue up for 3.0-5.0 ARB right now.This is your only warning.These bomberniggers will be PURGED.
What am I missing? I've got two slots left to fill, the PE-2 is a placeholder.
why do people not understand that pvp gives you nothing in nuclear escalation? yet that's all they do?ground striking 1 target gives as much as 5 air kills
>>581447142gun depression
>>581449407that's not a vehicle
>>581449378Some planes just have no means to deal with ground targets effectively. There are soft targets in the rear but good luck getting to them through the AA without ARMs or at least AGMs/Zunis/S-13s. It really needs some ambient air activity - attackers taking off from airfields and carriers to attack ground targets and ships, cargo planes flying from one airfield to another, helis ferrying supplies from airfields to FOBs, etc. The ground aspect is very fleshed out but the only things you'll see in the air are players and HIMAD missiles.
>>581445257>>581445373>>581445895Let the hate flow through you.
>>581449741when i'm at top tier, and everything is multirole,your theory stops holding power by that point
>people moaning about the F-16XL being bad in uptiersWhat a totally unique problem
>>581427537You need air over your wings to manoeuvre anon, not perpendicular to them. >>581427979It clearly doesn't have a 1:1 TWR when you compare the mass and the thrust anon.
Can I CAS with just 20mm cannons and lots of ammo in WW2 BR's?
>>581451484depends on what you're shooting at
>>581434121Oh dont worry, just just right into a match with it and figure it out as you go along like all the other F16XL's.
>>581437256>whats the good loadout for this4 x AIM7c's, 2 x of the 7 rocket pods (for flaring).
I made my mission to ruin bomberfags' fun. I tried a lot of axis twin engine fighters to rape them. The ta-154, the S.M.92 and the J1N1 are great at hunting bombers. The J1N1 is surprising because there should be better interceptors with better guns, but the Type 2 at 2.0 rekts bombers. Even planes like the ki-83 are useless at destroying bombers, I can dump all the 30mm ammo on a single high br bomber and I won't even get an assist.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6wBcNdcPkM>that like to dislike ratioBombertroons are NOT happy about being called out.
The guy behind that window, with a gaping hole in the airframe under him from some 30mm? Perfectly fine, not bothered at all.
>>581454685high explosives can't melt thin aluminium sheets
>>581453935VB10-02 and F-82 with the funpod sound like great candidates with lots of .50 cals to start fires. P-61 would be great too if it could LOCK THE TURRET FORWARD AND USED IT LIKE FIXED GUNS HOLY SHIT IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS
>>581454794Nah, the P-61 doesn't get the durability buff and 20 mms do fuck all against bombers
>>581454806see>>581333938>>581334051>>581334226>>581335157
>>581454794The PBJ with the 75mm got the bomber damage model buff....and it has a ridiculous forward armament.
>>581454794>P-61 would be great too if it could LOCK THE TURRET FORWARD AND USED IT LIKE FIXED GUNS HOLY SHIT IT'S BEEN 10 YEARSwhen i used to play the P-61 i'd fly around 1km below a bomber and use the turret to shoot him from below
>>581455174Last time I played that plane AI gunners werent shit.
>>581454806How do I get bombers on the test map? I only have MiG 15s
>>581457038Change the rank of enemies from High to Low.
>>581457082I never noticed that's an option, neat

i played 1 arcade match with a bomber and the enemy team just ignored meare ab aryans really that much smarter than rb retards?
>>581457957Why climb to a 1:1 trade when you can dive and get stuck into the endless font of fighters that spawn instead?
>>581445257KekWhat a pathetic cuck. Bomber chads report inBoyo
>>581445257Speak for yourself, BV238 is proving to be exceptionally hilarious right now.
Have they changed the F4D-1's flight model? Barely seems to want to turn since the update

Thats dumb as hell, I had to start strafing ground units with my defensive armament before anyone would come near me.
>>581426580it's ass
>>581461478No dont play with its ass.
>>581460978Not the most recent version.
XLfags, do you get more uptiers or downtiers? I don't know if I should play 12.0 if it lands in uptier hellhole.
>needful doneThank you, based Wyvern wife. You can rest now.I'll play something else for the last star if I decide to get it.
>>581462125So many people are unlocking them today that if you roll with 12.0 you will always be dragged up to face the giga-queue of them
>>581462247why are you so poor?
>>581462419Tank main life.
afternoon
in?
>people crying that they have top actually attack bombers from the top or bottom like in real life
>>581462419I spent all the shekels on loot boxes.
>>581462949Why?
when reporting "people" with femboy, furry, and other insufferable faggot usernames and squadrons with similar, what should i write and what category should i select?
>>581462916Literally anything but tail-sitting works wellBut people spend 5 minutes sitting behind bombers shooting ailerons and flaps wondering why the engine isn't exploding
>>581463034Because I might have gotten something good from them (I didn't), and I don't care a whole lot about having lots of silver lions.
>>581462916However unlike real life their defensive armament is aimed by a giga-autist who has spend 2500 hours perfecting his sub-pixel aim, and has precise, zero error control over 100% of the aircrafts defensive armament to put it all in one point in the sky at any point in time. Also your HE shells no longer seem to do much, so fuck you and your air belts.
>>581463586>aimed by a giga-autist who has spend 2500 hours perfecting his sub-pixel aimyou don't play the fucking game
>>581463689I accept your concession.
>>581463689I have, unfortunately, spent a lot longer than that playing this game over the last near 15 years.

>>581470856i only know one specimen the poster was referring to and provided an on-topic solution to his issues
>>581470186Sounds good to me, I like the oddball stuff.
>>581470989At least you can generally ignore the fat fucks and just crack the ground targets down to win on most maps now.

>>581479435That's weird, I don't see it either. I asked you how far were you when you launched them and how high as well. If convoys or stationary targets or SAM batteries. Basically I'm asking how you did it.Dunno why the question isn't showing up, I'm sure I posted it while at work.

>>581479806huh i didnt see that posti always groundhug until 25-20km to the target, then go up 1km maybe more depending on radar/contrailsstationary tagets can be as far away as 40km or so, just place the aim carefully but you need to be like 10km for the gbu to track moving targets, if you launch a gbu at the spaa it targets that first and lets you drop on the others in peacemost deaths were to surprise pantsir that i didnt see or accidently flying into anothers death domei start with the small outpost on the top sidei groundsnake to our mirror image outpost and then climb up maybe a few hundred meters,bomb , then pass up to the mountains into the snow and then launch on the close s-300 launcher site once over the edge and dive to cover again, go up, launch on the secondthen rtb and go for depots and outposts and convoys if convenient, i only really play the top side,sam batteries are free but you dont have much time, small encampments are free, 2 of the depot spaa are free, the other might track onto the buildingafter a few runs i just look at the map if there are convoys or respawnsto sum it up, groundhug 20km to target fly up bomb spaa first then the rest (maybe drop 2 on the spaa to be safe in case it does get intercepted)does that help?

Would it be a good idea to pick up the a10? I have most of the US tech tree finished, it just seems like a pretty good credit grinder and fits nicely in the 10.3 grb lineup
>>581438736ur making me want to grind the f4j now but its gonna be stuck in permanent uptiers from the event vehicle
>>581483482There's no chance the f16xl stays 13.0. It's clearly stronger than the su30 so it should be 13.3 at minimum if not 13.7)))
>>581483774Both will probably go up to 13.7 by new years, once they put the su30s on sale a couple more times
>>581483226What 10.3 GRB lineup? It's ass. You're much better off playing 10.7 with the tech tree A-10, which also gets much better payload.>good SL grinderIt really isn't.
i hate being a monkey brained human being and getting tempted by a big -50% on bullshit that i think is coolit's just digitical collecting tooi know it's not realyet, my brain considers it reali am not immune to propaganda
>>581481862>fighter with good bombsok for BP tasks
So here's a question for you.Does the amount of fuel carried affect plane performance linearly across the board?What I mean is, for example, MiG-19 with 50% of fuel will have its air performance reduced by 50%, and F-16 with 50% will have it reduce by 50% as well. As an example. Or is this value coded individually for each plane?
>>581481862if that thing is just the P-47D-22-RE then no, because the P-47D-22-RE sucks, like all the other P-47s
>>581484873Aircraft have an empty weight. Weight goes up as you add shit, like fuel (how much can be loaded depends on plane), ammunition, oil/coolant and of course ordnance.They used to actually publish the data sheets, like pic related, but don't do so anymore. You can still datamine the values, if you wanted.
>>581484873Each plane has it's own weight and its own fuel weight (and ammo/ordinance/pilot weight) so each plane is affected independently
>>581484092In my eyes the F16xl is pretty much an ADF with some handling quirks, it's a fair 13.3 vehicle imo.
>>581427979I heard american passanger planes can behave like cruise missiles.
>>581485390the wiki has the weight values for planes
>sedjeel doesn't one tap bomberslmao
>>581481862Better for GRB desuStrictly speaking it's the worst P-47 in the game as a P-47D-20, but it's still the best British WW2 CAS planeThe later bubbletop P-47Ds have gotten a buff in the last update allowing them to carry 1000lb bombs on centreline as well as the wings, but razorbacks are still limited to 500lb centreline
>>581485823Oh, that's good at least. Still wish they'd give us the sheets again
>>581486373>The later bubbletop P-47Ds have gotten a buff in the last update allowing them to carry 1000lb bombs on centreline as well as the wingsI completely missed that, really nice
Now that bombers have been buffed I feel it's only fair that the F106 gets it's AIR2 Genie 1.5kt air defence missile.

If bombers can tank being a fucking fireball of all 4 engines destroyed; fighter wings should stop randomly exploding when on fire
>>581493858If 4 engines is on fire the bomber probably can't control their plane anymore
>>581493858I think the just nerfed the fire damage across the board.
>>581481249Why? Is it good?
>>581493858The only thing they should really fix is the fact that you can't put out a fire going at a dive in any plane even though going mach fuck should snuff out most fires
>>581494942Snuff what? Those are internal fires, not aircraft skin fires.

>gayjew wants you to believe these two aircraft have the same radar
>>581499629the br of the enemy also matters
>>581500583This is the reason why soviet air-to-air missiles for bomber interceptions had a fuckload of explosive filling and why the US used nuclear tipped missiles to defend against soviet bombers. They're too damn strong.
>>581500905They should bring in all the people with the same or similar brs and put them together. This way we should consider one's average BR of 7.3 while also considering another player's average of 12.0If there aren't enough people of similar BRs then just wait until enough people look for a match.
I'm kinda new to radar, how do you quickly toggle between ACM mode and Search mode on your radar? I'm trying all the key combos and none of them seem to be doing it?
>>581501160by pressing the acm button, if the radar doesn't have acm then you don't
>>581501160
>>581501160I use Alt+W for 'Radar / IRST beyond / within visual range combat' to switch between standard, ACM or HMS and Alt+B for 'Change Radar / IRST mode' to switch between all radar modes.And Alt+Q to switch the scope scala aka how far you want it to scanMaybe this sucks for others but it works for me.
>>581501328>>581501387Oh. I got it now, thanks both!
>>581501682i also use alt+w for acm :O
>>581501682Learning from the best eh?
>>581501890>number key for avionics instead of weaponsWhy
>>581494942>just outrun the fire
>>581499817Half of the apparent bomber survivability at the moment is because retards are trying to shoot the engines directly from behind the plane and just hitting the trailing edge and fuel tanks, not the engineYB-29 would suffer because the engines are actually at the trailing edge of the wing and not shielded from shots from chasing fightersThe flying wing would however shield the vulnerable fuselage and bomb bay during the kind of attacks that do currently kill bombers
>>581502005Q is for changing weapons E is too spool up.
enemies seem to be sniping my pilot in the B-17 from behind me
>>581501890i also use alt+a to switch between radar/irst :Owhy are there at least 3 of us here who use alt+w for acm?
I don't use a dedicated ACM key I just turn my radar off then use the lock key to switch ACM on2 is my switch ACM mode buttonX is my lock buttonAll other radar controls are on the numpad/arrowkeys
alt + w is acm/hmdalt + a is irstalt + s is weapon cyclingalt + q is scope scalealt + d is search anglealt + b is search mode
ACM? More like the green box flies down into the earth's core mode
>>581503010>All other radar controls are on the numpad/arrowkeysCURSED. Do you have three hands?
>>581503010x is also my lock button :Oand i do the same sometimes for acm when the regular search isn't very useful
>AI gunners got 7 kills on my LincolnKinda shocked by how many players think it's a good idea to fly with their spinner practically poking up my arse, and sit there eating hot hispano shit while they tickle my undercarriage with .50 cals
>>581503114It's very rare (basically never) you actually need to wasd manoeuvre when you want to be changing your radar, and if im in a furball i just turn my radar off and use acm/hmd exclusively

I don't really get the complaints. Sure, you have to aim a bit now, but if you go for the engines you can still bring down bombers just fine.
>>581503954I hope they don't revert this
>in TWS mode, you can change a radar's search area when it's looking at an enemy by skewing it left/right >but doing this vertically doesn't work and it will just remain glued to the enemy>this wasn't a problem last yearvery insane how they fuck everything up constantly and it just never gets fixed

Roughly 1,500 kilograms (3,300 lb) lighter, lacked ram air turbine, rear fuselage fuel tank, slatted stabilizers, and ability to use AIM-7 Sparrow. All built with leading edge slats. It was originally intended to delete the rear seat from these aircraft as well, but it was not pursued due to nearly doubling the price for an already very expensive procurement program.

>>581517620velocity mode tells you how fast something is coming at you (or away but that almost never works in hdn mode), the huge line is the ground, things at the top are misslesso depending on how the enemy moves in relation to you they appear in the middle you need to select one contac and pd lock it for location and distance info
>>581517620It's not ground clutter its 'speed clutter' which is basically exactly how PD works its just now visible to you on the screenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Weghk_2DpfA&t=1564stimsvariety as always explains better than anyone here will

some guy just told me you can get into Bullet Hell games every game by doing this, and it seems to be working1. crew two bullet hell compatible planes (eg. F-16XL + B-52)2. crew a 5.0 or 4.7 bomber like a b-173. with the bomber selected, and only Bullet Hell and regular ARB enabled as modes, queue up. (as the bomber)4. ???5. profitit is working for me
>germutt teammate being harassed by two F4U's>dive down to help him>he is unharmed>he just flies away and leaves me to fight them by myselfI got away, but FUCK consolenigs, and FUCK germutt consolenigs
>>581543224Nothing personnel kid
bombers needed buffs, but why did gaijin decide to make them like 5x more durable instead of a middle ground like 2x or 2.5x?
>>581541628I lit up all engine nacelles of a B-52 to- yesterday now and they burned forever spreading to wing tanks even, she just turned around as if nothing happened and glided some 30km to land safely and rearm, still burning... the fires actually helped her descend quicker reducing the dumb natty lift. It's ridiculous.
>>581543992because subhumans playing bombers need all the handholding they could feasibly getif they only buffed them 2 times as you said they'd bitch and moan that the buffs were performativeaverage war thunder player is so retarded it's a wonder they don't need help breathing

>Typhoon destroyedSo when's it going down in BR?
someone post the they are seething image quickly
How do bombers survive infinite missiles when they aren't me? I just tried using the B-52 and Tu-95 and both times I got my control wires blasted on the first hit and burned to the ground with no chance.
evasive maneuvers, sir!
>>581543180sidenote: b-52 is really funny in bullet hell. i wish tu-95 was 8.7 so it were usable there too
>>581547442you can still bring the tu95
okay why the FUCK do planes in BVR spam range not start off with chaff?why is gaijin so fucking gay about this shit?
>>581547814oh you're right, it says br8.3nice
>>581547889i brought my ariete to a 13.3 lobby and i still got kills
>>581548059makes sense but i kinda feel like f-16xl is the meta just because it can stay at top speed and pull harder than any other plane in order to driveby peopledrivebies are sadly the meta, if you try to get into medium speed fights you'll get blobbed by fresh spawns
does the EFS have RNG whether it will extinguish the fire or not?
>>581545416kino
>>581548196It takes a long time but in the meantime it doesn't affect the fire spread so it could just blow your wing off before it finishes activating.
>>581548361>kinoOkay but what do you do with no chaff and when you always seem to fly into the entire enemy team and get spammed by chinkoids in premiums?
>>581548595stay low and behind mountains until you get chaff, use your very good flight model and OK missiles to pick people off
>>581548595you do the only-bullet-hell trick >>581543180 and grind out Boosters and G-suit asap so you can pull harder than all other planesor if you insist on playing air RB, flank really wide and seek 1v1s and 1v2s. its gonna be painful, takes a long time to unlock the larger amraam loadout. you have to do a lot of multipathing while you don't have chaff.
>>581548714I tried that but missiles fired from high enough dont care and when you have 200000 gorillion chinky missiles flying at you, you die.I cannot believe people actually have fun at this br doing this, it's a fucking misery simulator.>>581548836I have bullet hell selected but it keeps putting me into classic matches anyways :)))I think I grinded this fucking thing out just to realize that air at this BR is fucking miserable and I think I'd rather kill myself than being forced to multipath for 5+ minutes just to die anyways and get no RP or SL.
>>581549045>I have bullet hell selected but it keeps putting me into classic matches anyways :)))you have to select the b-17 (or maybe just any 4.7 / 5.0 aircraft) when queuing it, and you'll get bullet hell 100% of the time. re-read the post
>7 kill game in the H-5literally just killing mig-15s who stall right in front of my rear gunner
>>581549539did the il-28s also get a dmg model buff or are you just playing it for the sake of it
>>581549618mainly for the sake of it because it is a meme that can rape enemies from behind or in frontusually when i get hit my engine gets set on fire and i instantly diei think it got a model buff because my wings and fuselage never get shot off i only die because of fires
>AIM-7C now can't be notched
>>581549105I did that and it actually worked.The F-16XL gigarapes in it too.
>>581550260yeah i would not bother spading the f-16xl if not for that stratmake sure to copypaste the line explaining how to do it into bullet hell lobbies, so people queue more (helps with lower queue times)
>Nigger Hell>its just f16a and gripen simulatorGood mode
anyways... now that the needful is done, I can grind for the MIGHTY ARJUN so I can PENETRATION CUM BLAST enemies of GREAT BHARAT
>>581550419you can bring all kinds of weird stuff into that mode and do well tholike f-14s do extremely well at high-speed pulling, because they have no fly-by-wire so inputs are instant. it's not that their sustained pull is higher, but that they have instant startup on turnsor for example, bombers can be good/funny. or you can uptier an ariete or f-5e... etca lot of things can work
i bet this thing is not bad when uptiered in bullet hell
How does someone even figure out a workaround like that to always get bullet hell?Like what kind of random shit is that lmao>oh have two vehicles of bullet hell compatible level and also have a B-17 and queue for ARB and Bullet hell with the B-17 selected so you always get bullet hellwhat a weird game
>>581551263>bomber dad grinds the f16 event with his b17>gets the f16 and decides he doesnt want to play against missiles>queues a few games and keeps getting missile lobbies even with bullet hell selected>queues another b17 game after getting annoyed and surprisingly gets placed in a bullet hell lobby finallyor something

>>581552105>I wonder if leveling vitality will actually make a difference here.>Might even be able to tank TWO machine gun burstsIf you use a slow firing water cooled machine gun like the one on the ACI you will notice it, obviously very, very situational but there is a minute difference and means nothing with a normal MG.

bullet hell is way better than regular warthunder
>>581561664It would be if you could queue up for it exclusively and it had infinite respawns so you could stock grind your plane to your heart's content.
>>581561890you can just queue up as reserve plane and back out with no crew lock if its not bullet hell.
>>581561972but ya i do agree it should be longer and have arbitrary respawning

>>581566443coastal only goes up to 4.7 you knob
>Ju-388 market price nearly doubled in a week>TIS MA still roughly the sameI'd have thought they'd both go up because of the bomber damage model buffs. Especially since more people seem to be vocal on TIS-MA becoming a niggerbunker
>>581566687Not many people know that bomber based attackers have the same damage model.
Has the A26 gotten buffed into usability now too?
>>581567228yes but your gunner will spend more time dead than alive and i hope you don't need your elevator and/or rudder
>>581567318>hope you don't need your elevator and/or rudderThe more things change, the more things stay the same. That happened every time anything shot you before too. Guess you're just less likely to randomly disintegrate.
>>581567421>Guess you're just less likely to randomly disintegrate.the plane generally stays in one piece but most of my deaths were because i lost control of the tail, either due to the control surfaces being blown off or the cables being destroyed

Opinions on bomber buff? Do you think gaijin will revert it or keep it as it is?
>>581577051they will probably remove it since there is a lot of whining from fighter players who can't just farm easy kills on bombers now but I think it is good and fine.
>>581577051It's of no consequential effect on the game but it makes people who previously hunted bombers for easy kills irrationally mad. I approve.
>>581577228this
>>581577051They'll probably just reduce point scores and RP rewards for bombing to make it less attractive
>>581577051very good change that made bombers and some attackers usable, though still not useful which is fine, it might need some tweaking on select planesbut there has been significant crying from imbeciles (including some youtubers and their ball fondlers) who don't understand that bombers can't win a match on their own and that you really don't need to chase a bomber to the end of the map while your team falls apart, so i am a bit worried that they will do something stupid
>>581577051It shit ups games with a huge handholdium for spacebar mains.If you ignore bombers at the start of the game, and win the teamfight, you'll need to wait 25 minutes for the game to finish because the undeadable nigger will be climbing (and baiting you) into the stratosphere running the timer downIf you go for it as a fighter you will be dead, you simply have no counter (excluding missles) in this situation, and you will be lawnmoning howitzers.
>>581578058they are still easy to kill just use your brain and don't go close enough for them to use their extra guns to kill you.
>>581578058>you will be lawnmoning howitzersSomeone's gotta do the chores, and you probably left your dedicated lawnmowers to die.
i can't believe that after you win the fight you have the entire rest of the match to farm ai targets for extra gains literally for freethis is so horrible, it's like another shoah, worse even
>>581578158If you made them climb, they are no more easy preys. You'll not be manouverable enough at high altitudes to contest them. Like at all. Not even with jets>>581578214I can't be everywhere all the times. If i have 5 kills and i'm 1 fighter vs a B52 left into stratosphere left and there are 10 minutes left on the timer there's nothing i can do and i need to start lawnmowning
>>581578408farming targets that dont fight back nor move just because it will end the match is not fun
how are the conqueror and caern on same BR?
>>581578620But shooting bombers is basically the same thing...?
>>581578620then you can return to hangar and queue for another match, or just play arcadebut from your complaining it looks like going up against targets that do fight back isn't fun either
>>581578696Did you actually play the game (not as a bomber) after the update? In which you had to fight bombers
>>581578664Caern BR got raped by incompetent German Tiger2 mains. Same with the Centurion. Conq is such abysmal dogshit that it can't go up in BR and it's too strong for the average Germoid.
>>581578801So, because of a single bombernigger that doesn't want to play the game, my choice would either be to lose a match in which i had a stellar performance or click on the ground for 10 minutes?And you find no problems with this?
>>581578835My first game I flew out a formation of 3 bombers from the side and killed 2 before dying to the third. My next game I swatted one out of the sky with an rb05A turning him to dust (his name was still red as though he wasn't technically dead even though he lost every part of his plane and every potential source of fire was burning)
>>581578835you are playing wrong against bombers, you are not supposed to dogfight them
>>581578696Sure>>581578801>that do fight backFacing nigh unkillable planes (which bombers that are left alone until the end of the match are) that only have to crit you once to force a landing is not fun actually
>>581578835He meant before the update
>>581579015maybe play better and your team will win instead of trying to farm bombers?
I forgot you can't have genuine discussion about the game because people here don't actually play
>>581579154Are you retarded? I killed 1\3 of the whole enemy team before being left with a B52 that didn't want to play the game
>>581579015looks like you don't want to play the game either>lose a match in which i had a stellar performance just farm ai and win? and if you had stellar performance you should have a ticket advantage anyway>pictureyeah i'm not at all surprised by what you're saying
>>581579015Why do you care about losing? If you cared about rewards you wouldnt complain about farming ground targets.
>>581579374>>581579408i'm at a loss of wordsi concede
>>581579293>B52now i'm even less surprisedbombers in space are only really a problem in props (and from what i've seen nowhere near as common as people here like to pretend) but they're actually not really a problem at all because you can just farm ai and win while they're left up there with their dick in their hand, and besides most things at B-52 TU-95 brs can serve as a reasonably useful ground attack aircraft so farming ai at those brs is no problem either and you can again just win
Can I spade bombers now? Or did they patch their invincibility

>>581581768That's some prehistoric ULQ video.
How do I enjoy naval?
