the war thunder bomber damage model changes are hilarious and I hope they never revert them

Something tells me a B-29 shouldn’t be able to even have a single intact atom upon being hit by an R-40

bombers needed a big buff but the destroyhugebomber3000 missile doing pellets to a b29 is funny

Uhhhhhhh i don’t think it’s meant to take it on like that…..??

Me when the update comes out

It's karmic rebalancing after a single .22lr round could take out entire formations simply by flying near them. Clubbing bombers was like seal clubbing, except the seals were even more defenceless and squishier, like Niko but with wings

70KG warhead btw

I feel this is probably more an issue with how Gaijin models proximity fuse warheads no? It’s detonating at the extreme edge of its radius, meaning it’s doing the minimum possible damage

Assault mode is gonna be hell with this damage model. There goes easy 300% SL or RP bonus

Its hilarious until bombers start flooding GRB and utterly abusing their newfound immunity. I think it's a stupid solution to a real problem.

To be fair if a bomber was going to be outnumbered 6 to 1 by fighters, that bomber simply would not fly that day, so unless bombers are getting their own mode free of air arcade/realistic, im ok with them being unrealistically tank-y.

They disintegrate if a ball round whispers past them but tank a fat fucking missile. Amazing work Gaijungle!

Reminds of ages long past when bombers used to be absolute damage sponges and you could have 3 fighters on your ass and it would still take like a minute or even minutes for you to go down. You could even sometimes win if they didn't hit your gunner and weren't good at evading.

Yup, play bomber is pain

Bomber interceptor but without the bomber intercepting.

realistically the ONLY way to make bombers playable

they really just cranked hitpoints, huh

One can imagine how much damaged a Tu-95 or a B-52 will be able to take with this damage model

Agreed I’ll take this over the live server damage model any day. I can’t wait to actually enjoy playing bombers

i just realized the size of that fucking missile holy shit

Sadly they are already nerfing them

You need the real mans anti-bomber missile, the AIM-54. That would equire you to not play pigmutt slav trees yho

I mean tbf, an F-15 did tank an R-40RD headon and sorta manage to not completely disintegrate immediately

no way this is live in the game right now

i love it

The missiles on the mig 25 are literally built to destroy bombers

Tu-4 spam is coming back isn’t it?

They are still useless and cant win games.

Completely balanced and historically accurate as God intended

陆战即将进入能量时代，空战即将进入甲弹对抗时代

I'm sorry what??!!

Anything with a 10+ kg warhead should rip bombers in half, the nerf is supposed to be for 35mm or below calibers, not literal artillery shells.
