They need jets too, and they had them as well. You wanna whine about jets? Think about the Japanese tree. Here's a comprehensive list of German jet aces and plenty of data that links to their sources: It is the same deal with the american jets that are in the game at the moment (a couple of sabres and some others) That they actually saw combat and as such they have proven specifications, instead of hypotheticals and intended goals on paper. There isnt really enough combat data on the german jets they have in at the moment, whereas with the migs they were actually used throughout multiple wars and the developers, being based in russia, have easier access to the documents containing he specifications and the mission reports of their pilots. The german jets did not see much use besides as bomber interceptors, but even then they tended to get destroyed either on landing or by the numerous prop planes protecting the bombers. It’s stacked with useful defensive armaments that will keep you alive from other fighters trying to shoot you down.Originally posted by DarthNachoz:Something you will notice with war thunder, is that they put the planes that are the easiest to find data and hard numbers on the performance of the craft first. This flying boat thingy is also capable of carrying a heavy load that consists of 100-pound, 500-pound, 1000-pound bombs, mines, and 2-ton torpedoes which can completely obliterate bases to ashes. What makes this bomber special? It can land both on water and on the ground. 8 machine guns is more than enough to cut a plane in half.Ridiculously sturdy and hard to shoot down.Fun plane, can take a huge punishment and still be flyable! If you’re feeling crazy, you can use this plane as a heavy fighter - as ridiculous as it sounds, it is possible because of this bomber having multiple machine guns mounted everywhere. The airframe is pretty sturdy and the whole plane in general, you can deal with 2 fighters at once and take care of them with your defensive armaments, which are. Maybe this bad boy doesn’t have a massive payload but it can take a beating before going down. Playing with this bomber often gets you matched up with weaker opponents, lol.Equipped with 2-ton bombs, say bye-bye to the enemy bases.Maneuvrable, even for a bomber of this size.Make sure to climb up to higher altitudes and drop bombs at bases, a single 2,000kg bomb can take out the whole base in one go. This American bomber can reach the maximum speed of 395 km/h when upgraded, what makes this plane also special is the fact that it has a co-pilot - it increases the survivability of the aircraft if one of the pilots gets taken out. Decent mobility for a bomber, can quickly drop a few bombs here and there and get back to the base.Capable of carrying 100kg, 250kg and even 500kg bombs.Cool defensive armaments, 7.62 ShKAS machine guns.The best idea is to just drop a few bombs at a base, destroy it>drop your remaining bombs at a second base>land>bomb the bases again. The mobility of this plane is also a huge plus, cuz for a bomber, it’s pretty decent. It’s also pretty fast, as it’s capable of outrunning dogfighters from different factions. Looks small but can take down plenty of ground targets.Īr-2 is a soviet bomber capable of taking more than 1 base. Capping naval points is possible because this is a naval fighter.Defensive armaments are pretty strong, can keep pests from your back.It’s a fun bomber all around but it’s surely not what the Krauts were bombing London with! Since it’s a hydroplane, you can also land on water+capture naval points. It doesn’t really have a massive payload attached to it, but it is capable of eliminating smaller ground targets and being quite maneuverable for a bomber.

Yeah, it is, despite looking like a scout plane. Watching the bombs fall perfectly on bases never got old to me and that’s what I’ll talk about today - the durability of these bombers, the bombs that they drop(quantity&quality), and a few other cool, unique features. It was fun playing the actual objective, destroying the vehicle convoys, bunkers, bases, and many other ground targets. Bombers are underrated in this game and were the most fun to play for me.
