    Default RB Tankers

    Now that i have your attention, have any of you noticed since the may 10th update bombs in RB tanks are now , well worthless.

    Even today while in the German Sdk flak truck when what looked like 2 500 lbs bombs dropped maybe 25 meters at most in front of me I barely suffered a scratch my tracks took slight damage and my gun even less.

    So now between the assault fuse and the weakening of the bombs are planes even worth it anymore or just fighters and gun boats.

    Not really man. Dive bombed a Brit AA truck yesterday. It might've been lucky, but it's well known that bombs are kind of hit or miss. (see that?)

    Maybe i can get some people together for testing in a custom match, but based off what i saw today bombs are painfully nerfed to almost nothing, only kill with bombs in several matches was a M16. But before with my 250 kilo bombs i could kill softer targets including medium tanks and 500 kilo bombs would kill about anything,

    Hit me up next week if you haven't had any other responses and we can work on it. I've got about a month of time between the end of Spring and the start of Summer semesters.

    I was in a match and watched laden B25's rain death at an IS2 that I'd already put 3 or 4 75mm rounds into, only to have an M18 finish it off. I was sure those bomb explosions (pretty!) would have killed it, but no.

    Well, they nerfed the bombs to death over a year ago... i never go out with less then 500kg-1000kg bombs attached to my planes... thats why the Do-217E is my favorite german bomber: 4x1000kg droped in 3 runs.
    With 250kg´s (500lbs) you have to hit almost directly the target, kinda hillarious when you think what a 200kg HE-bomb would do to a building...
