I hate bombers

I love how they ALREADY reverted them LMAO.

People voted for a rank based economy because it was the less worse choice (at least it seemed like that at the time). It was basically choosing between getting stabbed or shot.

Even though it was supposedly a different system it didn't make any difference in the end. Lets be realistic here, regardless of what we picked we would have been screwed either way.

Sidenote: The idea behind pinging bases at the start of the match is to prevent multiple bombers from all going to one base and getting effectively nothing. No clue why some people get mad from someone taking your base because usually that means there are more bombers than bases, and you gotta wait for them to respawn.

[thequarantiner]

So the reason why I ping bases is more for strategizing with other bombers. If a faster boyo gets there first be my guest, but I'd rather not have 3 or 4 bombers for some reason waste their load cause they assume the base needs to be bombed after I already dropped my bombs(ive had a few to many matches like that including one where an attacker tried low altitude strafing a base after my bombs were already in transit resulting in a teamkill)

[Anti-Villain-Wolf]

If they would cut repair costs in half, and maybe increase payouts and give us more opportunities for boosters, the problem would pretty much be solved. I'm about an average player, and without a premium account, unless you get like 4 kills, your not going to make anything

It takes me with rank 3 a whole day to farm 100k silver lions. Its hard when other pvp have Eye Tracker VR Headsets and a joystick with trusters and rudders.

With that said here are my Tips:
If u engage in a dogfight then prepare the start of the fight high altitude. So when u go for the kill u go highspeed. U have small time of window to shoot the target but if u miss keep going forward maintaining alot of speed. Then climb steady and repeat the process.

If u wanna be unnoticed use mountains and forest to hide. Above the clouds they can see u from 20km far away but below 250 meter its like 5km max on flat surface. Do not do it in arcade only realistic because vision in arcade is busted.

Fuel do not take more then u need. The lesser the fuel, the lighter u are and the faster u go and be more agile.

If u fly a bomber then try to max altitude above 5km altitude. This way AA cant hit u and if a jet comes on your tail what rarelly happens u use machine guns while circling diving or climbing to max on shooting. Some planes u gotta circle so the turret can shoot.

If u a noob then dont anger good ace fighter pilots, they most of the time up top. Go for easier targets and u can easy recognize them by the way they fly. They just charge u like a bull lol.

If u have trouple just to shoot 1 plane down and its impossible. Then go for ground strikes with a fighter or strikecraft armed with bombs. Go fast, bomb the ground targets and go away. if u go low at speed of 600km u easy outrun the AA if u stay down.

Hope I help someone and ask if u need more help.

The thing with pinging bases is that it is not about fairness but about organising. You don't play against your allied bombers you play with them so signaling what base you gonna take is a important step so no one get to waste their bombs. Saying its first arrive first served is incredibly selfish and you shouldn't be surprised if you get "fanmail" if you know that someone already pinged your base. Of course if you have bad hardware you will spawn in later and maybe not get the pings but exactly then it is important to ping because if you ping someone's base, they will probably message "no" and pingbtheir base again. Then you know that you can just take another base and if that's taken too then the process will be repeated until you choose a base that is free. In matches where there are more bombers than bases you can just sideclimb and wait until there are some bases left or the airfield is attackeble. If you can't get this simple communication done with your team then just don't expect kindness from you allies

i like playing bombers, because it takes less focus, something to do while watching streams etc, when you aren't in the mood to tryhard, and it's consistent rp and sl. I've done a lot of grinding of props with them. I did just pickup the 288c, but most of my grinding of bombers was done in TT planes. I don't need to play bombers for Sl, as I do own naval prems...

[KimKhan]

Waffling for 2 minutes on a "git gud" and insulting players is one hell of a branch of comedy.

[Kerbalizer]

3:48
No, the Ju288 has ONE 20mm cannon. The rest are 13mm MG131's.

[zahnatom]

i feel like the base pinging is more of a cooperative thing so that if 3 bombers are already going for the bases, the 4th one doesnt drop his bombs on a dead base and can drop them on the airfield instead

[Hadgerz]

7:46 based take.
Whoever gets there first gets the base. Whenever i'm SL grinding, I'm in the wyvern bombing bases then transitioning to full fighter mode, then heading RTB to rearm for another late game base...aint got time to wait around for a bomber 7km above me to amble into position, since you can guarantee half the enemy team will be diving to the deck for the first wyvern they see.

[airborne]

The Playstation exclusive A-26 is a solid grinder for RP and SL as well.

[plaguedoki]

Play naval rank 3 if you want sl. Rank 3 gives 900% sl reward for most ships. And it's free

[MrDoctorDen]

A bit more budget variant is american Ki-43-2. Great SL mult, amazing flight performance, busted 12.7 mgs. 20k per game for one kill, more if you kill more. And you will

[kristofszilvasi]

just buy the xp-50 if you are new:
-best fighter/interceptor in 4.0 (best climb rate)
-insane sl modifier (450%)
-great for rushing through early US air
-great for learning zoom and boom, energy fighting, energy traps
-makes enemy seethe
-only 1600 GE (10 $)
need I say more?

Bro all of the WT YouTubers are removing their vids on this lmaooo

[Brigadier]

I get what you said about getting better at the game, but at this point, I haven't breached BR 5.0, and for all the aircraft I have researched but not bought, I need 710, 000 Silver Lions to acquire them (Spitfire Vb @ 110, 000, Spitfire XVI @ 170, 000, Firefly V @ 140, 000, Mosquito XVIII at 140, 000 and Stirling III at 150, 000).

I have 45, 000 Silver Lions and I have no idea how I can get enough to buy them. I don't think I'm a bad player - I'm probably average, maybe even a touch above average.

[jweebo]

here after 9 years of this game and never had more than 500, 000 SL in the bank.
I can barely break 150, 000 SL the past few weeks with multiple kills a match.

I've even noticed these shitters not giving you full rewards for waiting for the match to conclude before starting a new one.

[GielL]

For me 'pinging the map' isn't about claming bases, but to let your team know what you're going for. A way of team coordination so to say. A lot of people think that it's some kind of bro-code that if you ping the map, it's yours and no one else should go for it. Yes if you fly really close to the person that pinged a base and you bomb it anyway without letting him know, you wasted his time and probably his match so you're kind of a d*ck for doing so. But if you're in a slow bomber pinging bases and then get mad cause a frontline bomber takes your base... sigh

[OpFor]

Nowadays for me it's easier to farm SL, repair is no longer a problem, in Ground Battles, 4 or 5 kills is not hard to do with fast tanks with average APFSDS, I left the Russian line last, and it really is very fun and profitable to play, for me who plays aggressively / flanking, to quickly dominate the best positions, the game is a little more fun even without premium.
