British Bombers / War Thunder

The British made their first foray into the world of bombers in World War 1, but there wasn’t much progress in that field during the interwar period. Despite that, by the early 1930s there were two distinct bomber forces available to the British — bombers of the Fleet Air Arm, eventually under the direct control of the Admiralty… and the forces of the RAF Bomber Command. After the Nazis seized power, Germany’s ever increasing air capabilities prompted the British to respond in kind by supercharging their efforts to have a strong bombing arm.

Gajin: the wellington it's a good plane very survivable
Me : trying to spawn without get killed after 1 minute

If the pe-8 gets a 5000kg bomb then the Lancasters should have their tall boy bombs and the bouncing bomb



Edit: LET'S

Swordfish was famous for attacking italian boats.
Bismarck: "Am i a joke to you??"

[carsandstickmanlover]

I swear the 7.7mm does absolutely nothing, but the bomb load is something else 😳

[dundabird]

The Sterling is the most ironically named plane in the game because it will remove all your wealth.

[yogibearthebear]

I find it funny how Gaijin recognises how strong the Wellington was in this video but in game it falls apart if slightly tickled by a 7.92

[GhostfPakistan]

Imagine using the bouncing bomb in the 38th parallel map :v

[junyutan]

Pls make new gamemodes for air rb so bombers dont just die immediately or space climb and be a pain In the ass for everyone

[CCaravan]

Hopefully, many of them (e.g. Blenheim is still the War Thunder predecessor Birds of Steel model so over 10 years old by now) will get at least the polygon increase and updated textures that the B-17 & G4M got this update, though much nicer would be an actual full remodel update (even B-17 still has some geometry errors, despite the polygon increase).

Stock lone bomber...casually getting shot out of the sky shortly after spawning..."they don't ever die"...yeah right...but a PvE assault mode for bombers would make 'em so much more grindable in wartinder.

[tachankathelord]

I sent a clip called the bouncing tank to the thundershow wish me luck boys

[hoangho]

Fun fact the Stirling is the only bomber in Britain in ww2 that actually is a four-engine bomber design
The Halifax and the Lancaster are based on enlarged twin engine designs

[friedyzostas]

What do we think about british bombers? They are verry fragile in the game and do not justify the repair cost.

British bombers: Repair cost simulator

Having played British bombers since 2014 I can say with complete confidence that British piston engine bombers are the worst, most painful experience Warthunder has to offer. From their lack of any useful offensive armament to the incredible opposition they face, it must be one of the least enjoyable things to do. Understandably, these planes were night bombers so from a realistic perspective it’s somewhat understandable, but seriously, the only thing the British bombers are good for is losing money

[Screamer-tigg]

One British bomber I’d like to see added would be the avro Vulcan, but with what the GB tech tree looks like I think it is an unlikely addition but still a possible one. Still good British bombers already in the game so far, well done with the amazing work so far Gajin Entertainment. It is a truly amazing game, I’m struggling to find a game that is nearly half as good :)

[mikejunior]

I would've loved to hear about the V-bombers and the program that created them.

[Floody]

Only if we get the Vulcan Then others will run scarred

[redbaron]

Sad thing is that bombers don’t have a place in Air RB… Except being SL and RP piñata for fighters

My Grandfather from New Zealand flew 64 ops two complete tours in Short Stirling 622 Main force & Lancasters in 7th Pathfinder squadron, they were an elite crew master deputy bomber on 15 of their ops. The pilot went on living till 96 & was a pilot on many aircraft including 747s for Qantas.
