Stronger Tac Bombers

Tactical bombers in this game should be much stronger. To show why they should be stronger, I will explain how the ingame tacs were used.

Ingame, we have high/medium altitude bombers for tacs. This means stuff like RCM's, HMG's and small calibre AA will not damage/reach them for level 3 or higher. This means that the HP should be higher, since bullets and shells are less likely to hit them.

Basically, the tacs of lvl 3+ should have more HP since stuff is less likely to damage it. I will explain this when people challenge it in replies.

I agree, every time i sent out my Tac Bombers (which are LvL 3) i also come back with one less than I started with. Its getting annoying.

A lvL 1 AA is going to do nothing against a lvl 3 bomber. The Bomber would be faster, flying higher than the AA could hit and most likely have better protection

I agree, they really need to buff the higher level tac bombers. I even bombed a stack of 1 inf and 1 AA with 2 tac bombers, and came back with like 70% health and they were only at 80%. Ridiculous.

I agree H lvl bombers need more Hitpoints

Agreed. they die way too easy even to 6+ infantry stack

BBB I suggest you setup a poll and see how many people vote for the tac bomber buff. Then you should request the mods to sticky it or put it on their list.

Another thing we could do is modify the tech tree, because the Germans didn't really use high altitude tac bombers, they used dive bombers like the Stuka. If the tac bombers in game were dive bombers, they should take the same amount of damage as now, but do more damage. That is another thing worth mentioning. Tac bombers should do more damage.

The past is a foreign country.

Pablo, the Germans used the Condor, HE 111 and JU 88 as tac bombers. All high altitude(that is, the early versions until they decided to make them worse).

Well, they did, but the Stuka in my opinion is one of the most efficient planes in WW2.

Not really, it was obsolete by 1942. So many people know about it thanks to the Nazi propaganda machine.

BTW you are dragging this topic OT.

True. Back on topic. It's true, they should do something about tac bombers. But what I think they should do is lower the defending value against planes normal troops have. They should have something like 0.1 or something.

Sounds good but it still doesn't solve the problem of a 37mm shell taking out an IL-2M(the flying tank). The IL-2M was a beast of an aircraft and could go into a head on with a tank and win.

Umm You do realise that the IL-2M was a plane right! so it taking out a tank well umm not such a huge feet.

Also the tac bombers are good as they are if you are losing them that is you are using them wrong. I find them a little op sometimes.

I know lol. It's nickname was the flying tank 'cause it had so much damn armour. It could take all kinds of fire. The feat is that it could do a head on with a tank, which most planes can't do.
