🔧 We've published a devblog on bombers survivability adjustments, a complete overhaul of their damage model planned for the next major update. If you like aviation, check it out!

This is good, but something needs to change with their role. Maybe tweak spawns a bit too or give a good sizeable reward for flying near a bomber. Escort bonus for fighters!

You mean the brain dead fighter players actually have to aim to take down a bomber now? Watch as soon as it gets added, you’re gonna see a shit ton of people complaining all because they can’t just spray a bomber and win anymore

We’re aware of a crash happening to players with AMD Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs on DirectX 12 with the latest drivers (26.10.41.01) and are working on a fix. In the meantime we recommend either temporarily switching to DirectX 11 via the launcher or rolling back to a previous driver version. o7

Don't do that, don't make me want to play your game again

A meme I made, in 2013 for the WT Forums. Gunners have been a problem ever since then. PBY used to be flying tanks at the start of the game, and with Nerf on Durability and AI gunners being worthless, no matter how many skill points were dumped on them, hasn't been fun to fly Bombers since

Yo finally 😭 Now we need bombers to be more vital to Air Rb games

What if uuh, you make the guns work on bombers instead? The tail gunners are literally useless, buff their range and accuracy and maybe people won't target bombers that much.

Anything is better than the automatic tail separation.

Finally, now bombers aren’t built like wet paper. Now all we need is a permanent u-boat game mode for the sub fans

Since we talk about bombers. Polish PZL 37 Łoś Moose 🫎 Polish tech/sub tree when? Nr.1527 😁

Yes, thank you, this is very relevant for... the year 2019? Are you guys aware that no one else is playing this class of equipment and all the top bombers have long since left the project?

Good, there called flying fortresses for a reason

Yeah, yeah. Now where is the CCRP of the YAK-28B and the K-5 of the B-66B?

Only problem is bombers with bombs in the Bombay will still be easy cause cause all you have to do is shoot the bombs and they’ll blow up, which is completely unrealistic

Bombers worked perfectly about 10 years ago, tail gunners had decent range, the targetting was good and the survivability was realistic, then you changed it to make them unplayable because people moaned that it was too hard to shoot them down in air rb, what's changed?

We're going back in time to when bombers were so strong the only way to deal with them was to ram them. Hope y'all can finally found a balance and didn't repeat history.

It's nice that bombers won't die to the first thing that hits them. 10 years later.

Finally we bombers players can survive direct hits instead of just eating a 20mm.

Flying fortress actually being a flying fortress? 😮 Me like. I can fly the b-17 more often again. Such a beautiful bomber but really gimpped in-game.

So, you gonna do anything about the fact that defensive guns won't engage unless the enemy plane is sitting in your cockpit?

I look forward to trying out the changes! Thank you! And can you also segregate post war/cold war jets out of matches with WWII planes? Please. :)

In another episode of lets fix what we broke intentionally, War Thunder teases a rework of bombers that they didn't know how to balance so they just made them glass. Lets see if they figure out how to give them a role, or will they just re-introduce them as they are?

What! Fixing a problem thats been in the game for over 10 years!

It would be good if they also fixed the gunnery problem. They usually do nothing until the enemy fighter is 200 meters away.

リアル寄りになって少し嬉しい

What about the bomb catastrophic explosion? Bombs are so easy to get detonated by machine guns and fragments now, which is ridiculous.

Very good, now give escort bonus and stop uptiering Japanese Aircraft, thanks... Oh, and give me the access to infantry, please.

finally, the fucking bombers isnt made from piss soaked tissues anymore

Bring back when the B17s & B24 gunners had laser 100% accuracy like nack in the day

Yeah that’s not enough, Bombers also need better gunners.

This looks amazing! Thank you Gaijin! I'll play some props again.

Great so now you'll still have to waste 15 minutes after you've cleaned the ennemy team to climb up and get the cunt but you'll also get to be fucked for having played the game and used your ammo while the bomber just jacked off in the corner, nice one

did y'all fix the gunners not firing on time?

next allow our AI gunner to fire farther away so that are at least someone useful

Finally!
