[QUOTE=mastfire;45733817]so do you guys play SB? and if your are a bomb say b17 or b24 and you see a team mate ramming you what would you do?[/QUOTE] For some reason people tend to hate bombers of any kind in SB and there is that one guy who wants to teamkill you for it. Some guy tried to TK me in my B-17 so I just killed him instead. It was worth the 40k lions to see him get mad
well there a group of people that target players in b17's and b24s' and they called sky police
Why all the hate for bombers in SB? Pretty damn stupid
[QUOTE=T553412;45734398]Why all the hate for bombers in SB? Pretty damn stupid[/QUOTE] Because they get to see everything around them, their gunners just rape everything in a 1km radius and their dm is bullshit. [editline]18th August 2014[/editline] gaijin is actually thinking of making SB fighters only.

To be honest the Yak-9T is grossly overpowered at any role, because of the instakill 37 mk. stalin 2 I use it in arcade to shoot down bombers in one or two shots, on ground targets with one or two shots, and on fighters with one shot. I've gotten so good at long range tap firing that I can nail a fighter running away at distances up to 1.5km away, and gotten a lot of hackusations for doing it. [editline]19th August 2014[/editline] And dodging the clapper cobras firing full auto and missing every shot. That never ever gets old.

Has any sort of timeframe been realeased for the next update? It seems like it has a shitload of content and would therefore take forever

[QUOTE=T553412;45734398]Why all the hate for bombers in SB? Pretty damn stupid[/QUOTE] If War Thunder was more like World War 2 Online, a huge persistent map, with added infrastrcture, bombers would be alright. But for Arena type 16 vs 16 battles, they're like the SPGs of World of Tanks with how they stick out and disrupt gameplay. They end games quickly, they start at much higher altitudes, they can take a beating unlike any other, and they dish out a beating in all directions to anyone who approaches. That's why the hate

The difference between WT bombers and WoT SPGs is that an SPG is also the best SPG killer of them all, meanwhile while swashbuckling in bombers is definitely fun, none of them except maybe a couple are reliably able to intercept other bomber. WoT match ending up with only SPG vs SPG is either [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/C2se0xd.gif[/IMG] or [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KtMywTB.jpg[/IMG] Meanwhile in, War Thunder match ending up with only bombers vs bombers is always nothing but [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gEVqivN.jpg[/IMG]
Heavy bombers, maybe. Add in some medium bombers like B-25s, Tu-2s, or even some Do-217s and it's a different story. The heavies will lose every time.

I kinda wish Gaijin would look a bit further into the prototype/planned planes, because there are some really cool ones, but I'm afraid it'll turn out like WoT. The Ki-109 for example. It's a variant of the Ki-67, which for some reason isn't ingame, with a 75mm anti-aircraft cannon and a 12.7mm tail gun. 2 prototypes were made, then it got some upgrades and 22 planes were constructed. Actually, they should just add the Ki-67 and a bunch of it's variants. It's like the Japanese B-25. It had a project with 8 12.7mm guns and 1 20mm gun. It had another ground strike project with 5 20mm cannons mounted at a 20 degree angle down. It even had a terrifying kamikaze variant which was actually used. It had 2,900kg shaped charge thermite bomb behind the crew cabin, which would project a jet reaching nearly a mile, with a maximum blast radius of 300m apparently. The Ki-67 is the bomber Japan needs. It had a bomb load of 1600kg. A maximum speed of 537km/h. 5 12.7mm turrets and 1 20mm dorsal turret. The late war variant even had a double 20mm dorsal turret.

After playing so many british planes and using their hispanos on realistic battle, and then switching to germans. All I can say is I can't hit shit with those Mg 151s.
