Attack From The Skies: Best Bombers for Mixed Battles
Ойындар
In Mixed Battles, bombers can be quite tricky to use effectively. Heavy aircraft carrying dozens of bombs are often way too slow and way too sluggish to keep up with the frantic action on the ground. Nevertheless, there are some bombers that do really well even in this challenging environment, and that’s exactly what we are going to discuss today.

All the bombers need to be reworked. The gunners are completely useless, there's no survivability when it comes to taking fire, sealing fuel tanks and extinguishers do not work. I've had players fly within 3 feet of my plane and the gunners never reacted.

They should activate between 300-600m. But it depends on your crew skill especially the number of expirienced gunners, seeing as that mandates hoe many of your gunners actually use crew stats. Secondly people learn where the gunners are on your plane and might be able to get close just by being outside their range, or by shooting them before getting close

Also they need to reduce the repair cost, or remove them at all from the game.
Bombers need functional gunners, it's completely unclear how or why the AI is triggered to respond to some enemy aircraft but not others. They should consistently use a voice alert when an enemy aircraft approaches 1km and automatically point their guns at it, then engage at 400m to 800m depending upon crew skill.

I almost second this. Also a Naval-Battles mechanic whereby the player can assign guns to specific targets, x1 to x3 I guess, could be used. As you said, sometimes the AI gunners do not respond to an approaching threat. However, this mechanic can make the AI gunners to do so.

Bane of spookston's existance.
Personally, I don't play much mix battles, but there was once in Air RB, while flying my Tu-2, half of my right wind was shot off and one of my engnines was on fire, but I magically returned to base and got repaired. It's a very reliable bomber
I think Do 217 bomber variants definitely deserve a mention here with their 4x 1000 kg bomb load and E variants also have offensive 20 mm cannon. You need to make sure to drop at least one (optimally 2) of those bombs on the way in, otherwise it turns like a brick. It is an excellent bomber to destroy a lot of tanks in a short period, but it's overshadowed by the universality of Fw 190 F-8 and especially by the disgustingly OP Ju 288 C (seems like some premium vehicles are just meant to be OP...).

P1Y1, (its a huge slap in the face that its no longer rank 4) and B-26; (various trees), both good for naval and tank mixed battles. Also the Russian A-20 is classified as a bomber and can carry up to 2 x 1000kg bombs or even 2 torpedo, and any of the single engine Japanese bombers can be a bane to anything.
You left out the Peshka, one of the best dive bombers in game.
good that your doing more tutorials
Finally the swedish b18 gets some recognition
Gaijin are you planing to rework bomb smoke clouds again they look nice sure but i feel like 1000kg and bigger bombs should get mushroom clouds since most big explosion turns into a mushroom cloud when explode
My absolute first pick is Tu2 series, very nimble for a bomber, good defense and offense.
Hello Gaijin, how are you? I have a question for you, is it possible in a vehicle to take cover from bomb blasts in any forms of lower grounds, if the bomb explode on a hill or any sorts of higher terrain?
0:34 is the B18 really a Variant of the Junkers 86? I thought the B18 was developed by Saab in Sweden.The B3C is a licensed variant of the Junkers 86, it is found in rank I
I miss when the Tu-2 can carry 4 500kg bombs, 2 in the bomb bay and 2 on the outer pylon, that's a guaranteed 4 kills. Now you can only bring one 500kg in the bomb bay :(. The 1000kg is nice but most of the time it's too strong for its own good, because they way you play the Tu-2 is you go low, you need to put the bomb delay on 1 sec or more to not get damaged by the 1000kg bombs
@abdallah5906

The brigand b1 is underrated, it has 3 bombs if youre good you get 3 guaranteed kills, and i think 16 RP3 rockets, wich at that br doesnt need a direct hit to kill a tank from its explosive mass, not to mention the 4 nose mounted 20mm hispano, it has more than enough ammo to get 5 kills. And when an enemy plane is chasing you, just ask a teammate to cover you, i.e. an spaa or a friendly fighter

a-20g is deceptively good at its br (yes ik it's technically a strike aircraft). It can take a lot of damage, has estinguishers, and also can shoot enemy planes down. Ju-188 is also very fun.
What is the "bomb release premission" message u get when u are in sim, and it doesn't let u drop the bombs?
Why you didn’t mention the arado 234 b2 with one of the best flight characteristics and a solid payload which outruns every prop at it’s br?
Honestly the SB2U3 with the right modifications is really good in mixed
When will you guys add bomber cockpits
The BTD is better off taking the sea mines than the 1000 lbs. Don't be fooled by the name, they work as bombs and have more effective explosive filler, almost as much as a 2000 pounder.
Darn thought this was a tittle for an update :(
Will the transfer PlayStation Account to Pc feature be possible anytime soon? i would like to use the market.
The AI gunners in bombers should YELL if any enemy is approaching - or at least - yell when an enemy is opening fire. What if the player in the bomb-sight mode and he is distracted?
Tu2 is really good CAS and really underrated
3:00 I love how they include the 288 and not the 188 simply because the 288 is just pay to win and better in every regaurd compared to the 188. Better bombs, engines, and it gets an airspawn aswell as boosters if it _does_ spawn on the ground
I love the tu-2. I think it should even be classified as a strike aircraft. and not purely as a bomber. It's very fast for it's size.
Video definitely should've mentioned antishipping roles since that's also combined arms ntm the list would be slightly different then again it makes sense to not not mention those when the narrator/ script writers can't pick up a mistake lke with the SAAB B18 apparently being a Junkers 86 (totally not the SAAB B3C).

I mean, naval and ground battles are all mixed battles. I mean, if they remove aircraft from mixed battles, they have to rework the BR system. Every AA would be much lower, super heavys, open tops etc. Would be much higher in the BR and it would destroy the gameplay. The best way to destroy dominating enemys are aircrafts. It‘s also often the case that a team takes all points and destroys the entire team but with good cas-support they can turn the game instantly, otherwise most games would be decided after 3-5 minutes. War Thunder was always a game that mixed the battlefield, if you don‘t like it, play WoT

@@bren2385 Naval battles are pretty much the same a bit more extreme in my opinion actually. But it won‘t solve the problem that groundbattles without aircraft need completely new BRs. A Maus can‘t be on 7.7 anymore, it would be way to op but on 8.0 it will be useless. The M18 would be probably 6.0, every AA that is not special or good against tanks is like 1.0-3.0 (that includes even modern AA that has only rockets). I mean WT is not the most balanced game, but that would destroy the balancing completely. Maybe spawnpoints should be increased for Aircraft or you spend some of your spawn points per minute while being in an aircraft, so you have to be useful for the team. That would lead to more aggressive CAS with high risk, could be cool too
