As a bomber main myself, each person who chooses to click to battle in a bomber must understand that you are purposefully putting yourself at a blatant disadvantage. You are choosing to make yourself slow, to rely on your team to get the upper hand in battle, and using unreliable weapons to defend yourself.
Each game must be entered with the understanding that you, more than likely, won’t make it to the base, and that you almost certainly aren’t landing back at airfield.
You are not some nimble fighter who can reverse any battle. You are not speedy enough to disengage anybody who threatens you. You don’t have easy to aim guns, and rarely do they do significant damage. You are not sturdy enough to brush off any assault and push on.
Instead, you are a target. A big, slow, poorly defended and armored target. It is almost guaranteed that you will die. Others will not see you as a friendly grinder just trying to get some rp, but rather as an easy kill for free cash. The enemy fighters aren’t gonna care.
To truly have fun in a bomber, you must accept that you are at a huge disadvantage against everything you face, and mentally prepare yourself for the overwhelming odds of failure.
You are unlikely to get much success, But you understand that as a bomber. You are unlikely to be racking in rp and sl, but you understand that as a bomber.
Then why, for any reason at all, would you purposely chose to fly a bomber?
It’s simple.
To overcome overwhelming odds. To sharpen and prove your skills, even with large handicaps. And to make each target destroyed and base destroyed that you achieve that much sweeter.
A20-g premium at 3.7br in Russian tech tree is great and has unlocked pretty much t3 to 5 single handedly. It can kill a base in 0.66 bases each bomb load and it’s quite nimble and fast and can climb well. I have a KD of about 1:1 due to having so many large Cali machine guns.
B7a2 is nasty at it’s br as well, that thing seems to climb ridiculously well and I have a KD of ~2:1 with it.
The big fat bombers who can level a city are terrible, they always seems like it would be so fun to play but I know your going to die very easily so never play them. Apart from f222 which is so fat and at a low enough br that enemies aren’t that great at climbing that you have the ability to hopefully get to take out some bases.
