The Pe-8 Is Balanced

Показать описание
The 5000kg bomb on the Pe-8 doesn't require much aiming. I wouldn't say the Pe-8 is overpowered in and of itself, but it is far too easy to spawn. You shouldn't be able to get a weapon that can wipe half a team just from getting a kill and a scout.

Before anyone gets too upset: "I wouldn't say the Pe-8 is overpowered in and of itself, but it is far too easy to spawn. You shouldn't be able to get a weapon that can wipe half a team just from getting a kill and a scout. "

The smoke screen in the first clip wasn’t a measure of obscuring the enemies view, but merely a way of marking targets for air support

My experience is whoever brings in the pe8 has a 50/50 shot of getting eight enemy kills or one enemy kill and eight friendly kills

Okay, that "object permanence" definition overlayed on that Hetzer you killed just made me die laughing. Another great video Spookston!

Community: ASU and PE-8 combination seems a bit OP.
Gaijin: Nah. It'll be aight

Ah yes, the plane which nukes the crap out of a bunch of enemies along with half the allied team.

Perfectly balanced, like all things should be

"two kills = enough to spawn somethng that can kill half a team"
Given the existence of one-death-leave players, it is not uncommon that two players are half of the team

Imagine chilling a a italian armored box the size of a honda civic and you see a 5000 kg bomb land right next to you

Pe-8 balancing question can be answered by another question - where are other "blockbuster" bombs from Lincoln, Lancaster, B-29 or Tu-4? I have a feeling that Gaijin decided to make a one trick pony to avoid making the main soviet heavy long range strategic bomber of WWII soviet air force as miserable as what they gave french and italians.

People got excited when they added a nuke to the game, but I never understood. We‘ve always had one, and it’s way cheaper to spawn in and can be flown as many times as you can rtb

Everytime anyone spawns in Pe-8: "Kirov Reporting!"

Imagine if they allowed Lancasters to carry Tallboys or Grand Slams

When you see the PE8 you know and every single person in your team and in the enemies team no disaster is about to happen if you don’t Get the F out of there

amazingly balanced when you can bt5 rush cap 2 objectives and in turn can wipe out the almost the entire team if the map is small enough

Air units being the OP meta in a ground forces game, that not dumb at all.

Me and my buddies hopped into a match of RB while one of my friends played a Bt5 and Bt7 with a Pe8 in the lineup and got the Pe8 and eventually ended up with 7 kills in one run. That shit was narley

With a BT-5 you can capture 1 point and have a Pe-8 on standby. Didn't they remove the ability to do this in a prior patch? Why did Gaijin add it back?

As shown in a YT video from a certain scottish player, you can spawn in a bt5, capture a flag/get a kill+assist, instantly abandon the tank to spawn the pe-8, kill 7 people with a single bomb, abandon the plane, spawn another pe-8 and kill 8 people with the bomb this time instead. Sounds balanced enough to me
