Since you asked While a gunner replacing a pilot would hypothetically be possible on some aircraft, in many planes of the WW2 era they had divided compartments which were entered from separate doors on the ground and could not be accessed from the other compartments, except perhaps by a small tunnel. Not to mention the fact that most gunners didn't know how to fly planes. Keep on flying!

For anyone who sees this and is tempted to play the British heavy bonbers, once you get to 6.0 (Lincoln, Shackelton), each death will cost you ~30k SL, and your wings explode when a FW190 tickles you with a single 30mm shot. It's too stressful. My advice is to take a lower BR bomber like the Halifax which has only a few less bombs but only costs ~4k SL to repair.

The instructor really needs some more urgent notifications. Hole in the left wing, leaking water, that's fine. Even something more accurate like "You've lost an engine!" or "You're on fire!" wouldn't quite cut it. Where's "Oh no, you gon' die!", "You've got a hole in your everything!", "All the gunners are... asleep!", "Well, we are still flying half a plane." Day 21: Take the Scimitar out and do some MCLOS missile CAS.

The changes I would like to see for bombers all relate to the division of labor - a fighter is basically one player controlling one guy. A bomber is one player controlling anywhere from 5-12 guys. Bombers won't thrive until there is some parity in this workload. We know having better AI gunners on the bombers isn't popular and most folks don't want to return to that - but that means if the player in the bomber has to be taking on the duty of multiple different gunners (who in reality would have been covering multiple angles - but you can only ever watch one) than other aspects of bomber flight have to be automated. A simple thing that I think would help is if aircraft that had a dedicated bombardier got a picture-in-picture of what the bomb sight is seeing at all times. This would allow for a level of maneuver or fight back without having to completely give up on an accurate release.

Hey Phly, what would you think about making a video showing the differences of a level 1 crew and a fully trained ace crew on a tank. Maybe on something many people are familiar with like a Panther A or T34-57

yea the ability for a gunner to take over as pilot would be nice. mabie a few seconds where you go dead stick to represent the crew swiching. just like tanks do. Also historicaly it wasn't common for flight crew to take over, but most navigators and flight engineers could fly, and it wasn't unknown for them to bring damaged planes home after the pilot had been wounded or otherwise incapasited. they didn't try to land normaly but there are a few recorded RTB's by non-pilots.

Funny thing is, I have actually had a little bit of success with the Shackleton in ground rb. I still have 7 free repairs left. The problem is, I only have that many free repairs left because I play very cautiously. I get in the air as soon as I have enough SP, and if I see enemy fighters, I heavily utilize the airfield, because that’s the best defence I have. One thing that only really makes sense in the Shackleton is that you want the enemy fighter to approach you from above, which means flying somewhat low if you want to be more effective with the gunner. I spend as little time as possible over the battlefield because enemy players are so much more likely to get into a fighter if you kill them as a bomber. Occasionally, I have a match where I have some allies in the air with me that are mostly focused on keeping the sky clear, meaning I can get more kills before returning to rearm. The few times I’ve been attacked by a fighter, they’ve killed me before I could react. Also, I’ll probably use the Shackleton less once I start having to pay over 28,000 SL every time I die. Wait…here’s an idea. What if it was possible to win free repairs for vehicles as a reward from a battle trophy or the warbond shop, or maybe the battle pass? You’d probably see large bombers and certain tanks in battles a little more often, as people start to be able to afford to use those vehicles again.

Phly! i feel like i would enjoy the video more if there was some Ju-188 played for the first time on the channel!xD but for real cool vid. i have been interested in trying this bomber

Honestly big bombers in Wt have a few issues: 1. Bad damage modelling. Bombers and aircraft in general could and did come back with a lot of holes in them. Whole sections of the plane getting sawn off by cannon fire just didn't happen much. The ability in WT to saw a bomber in half simply isn't realistic. Plentry of aircraft made it back to base with half the controls inoperative and/or multiple dead crew members. At least 1, (probably a lot more but i can only name one), Lancaster made it back after a flak shell, (probably medium calibre, so a 37mm not an 88), hit the nose turret. And a B-17 made it back after getting hit with an 88, these where the exceptions ofc, but they demonstrate how if it doesn't hit just the right spot even an enormously powerful hit isn't enough. 2. No real accounting for player skill. I'm not talking matchmaking but more how your average WT pilot is a lot more capable than your average WW2 pilot. The reason late war German aircraft had 4 or more cannon was because of just how much ammunition it generally took to down a bomber. On average a 1000 rounds of 20mm for a B-17. On average only 25 of those thousand rounds would hit though. Hit rates in WT for fighters shooting at bombers flying straight and level are way higher than that. That means even if the damage models where better bombers in WT would still be a lot worse off survival wise than real life.

I like the new editing and the music

Honestly the first two flights in the Avro Shackleton when I played it the day it came out, I took out a swed attacker easily, the A21 something ai believe, well.. sorta easily, that and a K4 cause he just sat there eating mk. 5 doom cannons, I say sorta because half my beloved elevator was uh, not there, so yeah.. that return flight was very, very, sluggish, its also pretty decently fire proof if you only take 1 engine fire or maybe 1 fuel tank fire

That was your funniest video for sure 😂

What's even funnier is that you can see an :D face on the front of the plane in the thumbnail

The pilot is Rusty Shackleford

On b29 everyone was able to fly, and in tanks everyone can switch roles, the only reason why it is not the case in WT (switching in planes I mean) is that they are not interested on making game more fun, and that would mean easier rp as well

Passive bomber buff for ground rb, nearby enemy fighters are highlighted for allies?

Jesus, Phly just mudering the entire Tiger Legion today lol Talk about poaching LOL

Extinguishing engine, wing etc would be nice but would require each planet to be considered wether such action was even possible. Controll od individual engines is possible in action menu (by default y key) and I'd have to say IT is usefull. I have multiple times saved my engines from cooking up for landing. Also i'm not sure but engine is set To 0% and than you shut IT off, i think IT does extinguish fire quicker.

@zacharyhoman3597

2 жыл бұрын

a good number of heavy bombers and even some american and russian medium bombers had engine fire suppression systems even prior to ww2. its something that Ive always wished was available in game. I think what phly is taking about with engine control is something easier than the in-game system rn. its pretty hard in a 4 engine bomber while in a fight to go into MEC and shut off the 1 or 2 engines that are on fire while still trying to maneuver the plane and fight back (since this would normally be split between several crew). if there was an auto prompt that came up to shut off an engine and fuel flow once it caught on fire would be good i think (as well as activate extinguishers if thats ever implemented).

What’s amazing is the Shackleton isn’t a bomber, it was designed and used as a Maritime and patrol aircraft.
