I line up everything and at the last second some freaking prem comes in and kills me or some Bf-109 who climbed crazy fast in the start and is above me by 300 to 400 m.now I have been killed twice by a f# HE 219 A-7 Rank 4 (me using rank 2) prem german plane.rating is 4.3 while the halifax has a 4.0 rating. 5 bombing runs in my halifax and what happens? every single time I try to climb I can only get to 5000 alt before I reach the target. If I have missed something or you want to add to the topic (like how many bombs or torpedoes it takes to take down a battleship or aircraft carrier), feel free to post on here.So I went ahead and I asked people for advice on bombing in war thunder.now before you say i'm a scrub I have spent the most time on Bombers in RB.I really hate AB.this may sound like a rant.to be honest it is. Screaming at your fellow pilots for not protecting you isn’t going to help anyone and will make yourself look bad. Being a bomber pilot takes lots of patience. If you have a friend who can cover you then great! If not then try to go around where the main fight is going to be because nothing is as attractive to a fighter pilot then a lone bomber.Ħ: The most important tip I can provide on here…….just have fun. Make sure to lead your targets if they are mobile.ĥ: When going into battle, it is safe to assume that YOU WILL BE ALONE AND YOU WILL HAVE NO FIGHTER ESCORT. When bombing from high altitude zoom in while looking through the bomb sight to get a clearer picture of the target. The higher you fly the longer you will be safe from enemy fighters. I always bring up the main map (M key) within the first couple of minutes of a match.Ĥ: Altitude is your friend. Decide which area you are going to go and the best direction you can fly to provide you with the best way to take out more targets in one pass. Your fighter mates will strafe light targets if they are not DF.ģ: Plan your bombing run. Instead, focus on the heavily armored targets like pillboxes or tanks. It would be a complete waste of a 1000lb or 500kg bomb on an AA gun. Increasing the skills for repair time, repair rate, and healing time will cut down on the time it will take to repair an aircraft for free.Ģ: Focus on targets that you can destroy with the bombs you have. Later on it is cheaper to not auto repair and let the crews repair themselves. IMO, upgrading your gunners wouldn’t be a bad thing at all or on repair and healing time. The faster you can reload bombs the faster you can get back into the action. Some tips I can give to you beginning bomber pilots.ġ: Put a lot of your crew XP towards reload speed for your ground crews. But if you have a 1000kg+ bomb(s) then its kind of easy to kill it caz it is so big and unmissable. – Battleship: Dont even bother trying to kill a battleship if you dont have at least 500kg bombs, but even with 500kg bomb you will still need to drop a lot of them. – Carrier: Don’t bother trying to destroy it without, at least, 500kg bombs(or lots of 250kg). – Light pillbox: One 100kg bomb is enough. – Pillbox: One or two(ussualy two) 500kg bomb will destroy it. – Cargo Ship: One 100kg bomb will do the job. – Destroyer: One 500kg bomb can kill a destroyer. I have not yet attacked battleships or aircraft carriers with torpedoes yet, however you probably have to make multiple passes. Torpedoes= A single shot with most torpedoes is enough to destroy cargo ships, destroyers, and light cruisers. However against destroyers and heavy tanks, a double dose is necesarry.ĥ00kg-1000lb bombs= Should I even say what you can’t destroy? A single drop with these babies will take out 98% of targets with one shot except aircraft carriers, battleships and airfields.ġ000kg-2000lb= (Unknown ) Haven’t had the pleasure of dropping these bad boys yet. A single bomb will take out most lightly armored targets including medium tanks. This is why most heavy bombers armed with these have a huge amount to drop.Ģ50kg-500lb bombs= Now we can start doing some damage. Best bet is to drop at the very minimum 2 bombs on AA, Artillery, and other lightly armored target. When I first starting playing this game I did get frustrated because I didn’t know what bombs will take out what targets and if not then how many do I need? If there is a topic out there already then my mistake.ĥ0kg-100lb bombs= Don’t even try to one shot any target with these firecrackers. I haven’t seen a topic that posts what size bombs can damage what targets so I decided to start my own. War Thunder Bomb Damage Guide by Darth Revan
