      Guys war thunder becomes so more fun when you drop the grind, pick a plane or two that you genuinely just enjoy playing and use it in sim. It's so much more fun and balanced in sim without the ridiculous mouse aim you get in RB. Honestly Sim is where it's at, I can't believe I played war thunder for years before trying out Sim. Now that I've tried it however, I'm never going back.

      2) They actually matter, as ab is about tickets, and not a fighter deathmatch. A bomber targeting bases or ground units can do as much for a team as any fighter can.

    @timmy3822 3 роки тому +2

    One thing I'd like to see is a mechanic we've seen in titles like Ace Combat. The map corner that the bomber spawns on should be a "RTB" boundary. So when you get the "return to battlefield" thing on that map corner, when you fly off and come back in it rearms your bomb payload, as if simulating that aircraft RTB and another "new" bomber coming in to continue the mission.
    It would allow people to continue doing what they need to do, bomb bases... without feeling the need to space climb endlessly because they know they can't rearm at the airfield because they'll never be able to climb to altitude again. For lower tiers space climbing is more of an issue for sure, but in jets especially from 9.3 onwards now we've got plenty of aircraft that can gain altitude in no time at all.
    The Lightning at 9.7 is a great example of this, I chased a space climbing Vautour on Spain up to almost 40,000ft and put the bugger out of his misery with a Red Top. I also think that AI units killing each other shouldn't contribute to ticket bleed, as it allows too many exploits such as camping an AF with SAM's so nobody can kill you, and win the game via AI which happened to me just a few days ago. If you give people a reason to coninue playing I think it will cut down "exploitative" bomber play quite a bit. Gaijin just need to show a modicum of effort and give bombers the ability to do continue in their intended mission/role after that initial payload has gone.

The problem is that you can't just allow people to use bombers in ground and not air battles. I think there needs to be a 2 or 3 bomber limit per team in air RB because there's no way to have bombers play a good role in air RB

    The problem is IRL bombers ARE the mission and fighters are mission insurance. In war thunder bombers just exist trying to do their own thing in what is basically team deathmatch. I think there needs to be an RB game mode that has respawns and maybe a quarter of the map for each team that is a safe zone to prevent airfield camping. Then have the score focus around destroying the other teams bases, infrastructure, and ground vehicles. No points for AA kills and the winning team will have an xp pool that is distributed out to the players that stayed till the end.

    My mates and I play sim ec for EXACTLY the reasons that you talked about in this video. We use the time to chill out and have some fun. Mostly formation flying bombers with fighter escorts. But every patch Gaijin increases repair costs (which includes spawn costs for sim) and decreases rewards you recieve for playing the game. I can't count the number of games when I will get more than 10 air kills in a 40-120 minute match, just to earn a meager 100k silver lions. Up to 2 hours of playtime and all we get, after paying out the ass for spawn and repair costs, is less silver lions than I could get from a good ground rb match. Each update makes it worse and worse. There are already so few people who play sim and they just keep trying to kill, in my opinion, the best gamemode War Thunder has to offer.

      This is because people were abusing bombers in sim to grind out the tech tree.

    That being said, I do enjoy playing bombers from time to time, specifically the Japanese Navy ones like the B5N or the D4Y series (which, actually, is one of the best fighters Japan has, although it has atrocious bomb load).
    The class I personally believe to be the most neglected from my experience as a noob are heavy fighters and interceptors.

    They have the exact same game mode for pre ww2 vehicles and cold war vehicles. It's not that jet bombers are useless, it's that the game mode doesn't allow them to be useful.

  • @supersyber7
    @supersyber7 2 роки тому

    As someone who regularly plays the yak-28, i'll give my opinion.
    To me, the yak-28 is a grind vehicle. It's great at getting regular amounts of RP, and if played correctly, it can also get large amounts of SL due the the fact it will rarely get shot down. A typical game in the yak goes like this, spawn in, climb to 10km, drop bombs, return to base, j out cause your team is dead. Another one is, spawn in, climb to 10km, drop bombs, return to base, rearm cause your team is still going, climb to 7km or 3km depending on situation, drop bombs, return to base, repeat.
    In the second case you can help out your team by getting a point victory, which happens often. Fighters are vehicles designed for the short game, bombers/attackers are designed to play the long game. When there's just 1 or 2 fighters on the enemy team camping their airfield, I'm willing to bet you're would praise the fact if you have a bomber still alive on your team. Cause then you can win by points and bypass their camping behaviors.
    The only time I will ever basecamp/spaceclimb is in situations where the enemy uses 'blind hunt' in these cases, it's not fair or reasonable for me to try to dogfight against fighters in a plane not designed to dogfight. Especially when they can see me from 30kms away and i won't see them until they're 2km away.

      I just recently unlocked it and it is the easiest grinder I’ve ever used. Hardly get shot down, and if it does, it’s after 1-3 bombing runs. It can get its bombs off before anything can intercept it. Definitely the best plane to grind out rank 6-7 with. Although it’s incredibly boring to run back and forth to the bases.

Or you could just climb to spacer from the start to increase your chnaces but annoy enemy team that could just go for next game if not for your stalling.

    1, the airfield camping issue only exists because for some stupid reason airfields have aa, they shouldn't or it should diminish every time your team loses a plane so the alst 1-2 planes you have alive cannot benefit from base aa at all
    2, some people actually enjoy bombers, teammates be damned, and they have a right to do that, balancing the ratio of fighters to bombers for both sides is a practical and viable solution to this issue
    3, bombers do infact have a place in the current game and i know most people will dislike this, they are excelent for grinding rp, thow a talisman on a bomber and you can quickly research all of the top planes in a tech tree, your team may lose, but youwill reguardless rake in xp, and that is a meaningful and to some people valuable use for bombers.{also attackers}
    4 if gaijin would just make a new air rb taking inspiration from both ground rb and enduring confrontation, with smaller teams, more varied objectives and multiple spawns this wouldn't be an issue at all.
    so in essence adding bombers is fine, but there are other underlying issues that make it suffer, but bombers do exist, they did exist, and they should be represented in game
