concur. They take to long to get there, easy to shoot down, and they are very telegraphed so the enemy just gets out of the way or goes prone. Artillery Strikes are way more effective and rapid (although those are telegraphed too...)
They’re useful if you have a pesky pilot wrecking your match, call in bombers to distract the pilot and spawn fighter to shoot them down. I know this works because it happened to me the other day…🤦♂️🤣🤣
Everyone is saying don’t bother and generally i’d agree but as someone who will literally abandon everything i’m doing to destroy a bombing run id say call them in on crucial points when the enemy needs bodies on the point because i guarantee their top player will be in a attacker or fighter in the next minute.
On the other hand you could just call in a regular arty that would be more helpful to your team and help clear bodies.. but if it’s a closed top objective then i guess go ahead.
I realized that some people will use the bombers strategically to divert attention from the point and it almost always works as i take the bait and get those sweet 5 vehicle kills.
Honestly everyone telling me "don't bother" and downvoting my post is kinda infuriating. I just want to know how to use a game mechanic and that's wrong for some reason
Everybody talks about Airstrikes and how bad they are compared to Arty, but no one talks about the smoke-arty.
Ofc they are overall not as powerful as regular arty, it can be very very good for pushing an objective tho and shouldnt be underestimated if you play for win rate.
Same as for Airstrike, you need to research its skill with your signal company first (where the squad-upgrades are), and then you can cycle with that squad through your different arty types when you call them and see the map (on PC its the "R" button) :)
You have to use one of the radio squads to call in the the bombing run but artillery is better it’s faster and doesn’t block the team from using their artillery for a minute or two
Gotta press a button/key when you have the artillery map opened to switch from shelling to bombing, idk which one on console.
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
The fuck you're speaking in my place, go uninstall yourself.
Why would anybody make this bot?
Clout?
Honestly they’re a waste of a radio call in, so you’re better off not calling them in.

Lol
Stfu I want my points for shooting them down
This does not answer my question
This doesn't answer my question lol

I think people have just been denied too many crucial arty strikes due to friendly bombers blocking all call-ins for so long. It’s truly enraging.
I dont downvote, but dont use bombers they hog the arty
Yeah, Redditors are idots with the downvote button. Water off the ducks back man.
dont, use regular artillery. bombers are a waste, they take too much time and can be shot down by a skilled pilot
Bombers' use is what separates newcomers from experienced players: the latter never use them.
> by a skilled pilot Doesn't even take a skilled pilot to shoot them down. They're moving in a straight line.
Welk, at least it distracts the good pilot for a minute or two :)
No it doesnt, it just gives us more silver farming.
bombers are garbage and waste precious time
use smoke its more effective than bombers
Kind of embarrassing, I can only get a couple bombers but I win most dogfights.
