Nerfed the Bomber to Death and Airplanes in General. You Crossed the Line

Yes i do have job,but i also have at least 8h a day to play video games thats enough to get 2k kills with ju88 i dont even need 8h

But they didn’t though, that’s the thing…

They did.
There was no need for the delay on the Stuka and the fighters.
And there was no need for nerfing the fighters ability to starfe kill.
They should have stop with the delay on bombers + less bombs for the JU88 + the 8 mg Spitfire.
This was the problem.

i don’t get it. airplanes was always a big part of the BF series why they are so useless in this game?
i remember when i start palying BF3 i saw all these players that playing with the planes it looked so fun and i had to learn how to use one myself ! the moment i did BF offered me FUN that other shooter games wont.

Something big needed doing about the bomber it was horrible playing twisted steel killed on the spawn then around another 8 times, people were just leaving our team.
I always play the objectives so our team was hit very hard.
so I jumped in a spitfire and rammed him to cheers from my team.
I then managed to shoot him down, they were his two deaths but he had well over a hundred kills.

I was starting to feel like bf5 was a how does it feel to get blown up constantly symulator.

He obviously took out the aa guns on his first few bombing runs.
Not fun

Good, now you can get back on the ground and aid your team with objectives instead of flying around padding your kill/death ratio! Excellent news for everyone.

These nerfs were much needed, bombers were overpowered and needed to be brought into line. Now they have.

the bombers nerf is totally understandable but they ruined every other planes .

I swear there just doesn’t seem to be anyone in DICE who plays vehicles of any kind. They are designed to look gorgeous but that is about as far as it goes. I hate to say it but even the tanks in BF1 are better than the ones in BFV. The planes imo only need 2 nerfs, first was the bomb dropping mechanizim, which should force pilots into another position on the plane forcing them to drop bombs looking our a trap door. This would require planes to level out and fly high in order to drop bombs and add a skill level.
The other thing would be the bomb resupplies. I dont even think the needed to add a delay to when you can next use a bomb but rather make it so when a plane flew through a resupply area they would only get a small amount of bombs. This was something that even BF2 had. You had to fly a helicopter over a pad for a long time to refill and hp up, same with jets they had to make several passbys or slowly fly over a run way in order to get a full resupply of bombs.
Nerfing the time between bombings is just a crappy band aid you use on a severed limb. And already we can see the problems gushing out of that decision.

get off the street?

Not really though. They aren’t really in line. They might have nerfed the bombers’ ability to spam bombs, but they also left their tail guns alone while nerfing fighter planes. The effect is that many people in fighters now just ignore bombers and no longer try and shoot them down, because it a) needs considerably more skill to down a bomber than it does to just seatswitch kill fighters and b) wasting your ammunition on the bombers can leave you defenseless against other fighters and unable to attack ground targets.
.
They nerfed the bombers a little and they nerved bombers’ counter (fighters) massively. The effect of this will be that people will continue to get bombed frequently due to a sort of peace accord in the sky.

This so called “pilots truce” somewhat depicts what are most pilots “good for” => the planes are not exactly as we wants so screw our team, we are not gonna even try to do what we should cause it’s too hard and we better farm infantry as the oposit pilots…

Carpet bombing JU-88 mains complaining they cant get 100-0 :smiley: The planes are fine now, they could pull back the flak dmg just a tiny bit though.

They did so good in Battlefield 1. Battlefield V is a total mess instead.

After playing in the air for a fair while post patch I have to say the balance is better than it was. Dogfighting is a real thing now, contrary to some comments fighters have plenty of ammo to tank out a bomber or two. It is no longer get behind and win now you need to have good aim and pick your shots which is better for skilled pilots. The AA still rarely shoots me down either don’t get me wrong if I mess up they will hurt me but almost never shoot me down.
It was a shocker of a nerf bomb but ultimately I feel it’s in a better place and with some tweaking it will be great.

Well, there are plenty of good words to use for players like you…but I am not gonna use any of them.

Simply now you need skill and aim if you want kill… before the nerf, you could play also blinded.

Flying took hours to learn up until BF2 and even BF3.
Theres absolut no learning curve in BFV.
Speed and maneuverability makes it easy mode and very boring.
Any beginner can fly in a straight line , drop bombs turn and repeat, especially with the low skilled JU88 and the 3th view bombsight
Dogfight is just as boring and the most commom thing now I see now is to clime, hit the breaks and hope the enemy plane will fly by because of lack of speed and maneuverability.
In other BF you had the ability to fly until your plane got disabled. In BFV you loose this just by getting hit a few times and there’s no way out. Imo this is only maded so inexperienced pilots can get kills. BFV is the most arcade like air and probably the worst I’ve experienced in 16 years.
Given that DICE tries to bring infantry play back to earlier times, they have totally failed with air.

Bomber or airplanes always have to be on the top of the scoreboard? I dont think so.

Haha no you don’t. Go play operations and spam like a noob no skill or aim needed…
If I where DICE I would remove bombers from operations, but I guess that wont happen, they rather nerf bombers due to operations^^
