How do you guys feel the bomber hitpoints are currently balanced in Warbirds? Are they to tough, to fragile, just right? Does your feedback relate to a specific bomber or all of them? Please feel free to share your thoughts on the subject. The more feedback we recieve the easier it is to assess the balance. It is also helpful if you state whether you see it from a bomber pilot's- or a fighter pilot's perspective, or both.

Looks like everyone's happy with them. As I mostly fly bombers (JU87, -88, Do17 & Tabby), I'm usually in a receiving end and could have them removed from those kites. And I repeat once again my request to have an option for 20mm in the nose of JU88 instead of that view-blocking 7,9mm peashooter. Do17 could also benefit from proper gun sights. It has none, neither for pilot, nor for gunners.

This is not about hitpoints, but airframes, as don't want to start new topic about everything coming into my mind.

I've been comparing two very similar kites, JU88 A4 and JU88 C6 in Main Árena and Training & Dueling. The latter aircraft was based in A4:s airframe and the weight was also practically the same, A4 9,860 kg/12,105 kg vs. C6 9069kg/12105kg.

When flying, they behave quite similarly in WB, as could be expected, but C6 suffers from some disadvantages; for example loop started from same diving angle and speed, it stalls on a top of it, when A4 makes nice round without probs, as well as in tight turns C6 drops a wing easier. And when doing same evasive actions (like split S) with same speed, C6 often shears its wing off, when A4 goes fine. So there might be a structural mistake in C6, as airframe meant for a dive bomber should take the same, was the nose glass or not.

I know there are not many guys flying German bombers, but I somehow like them all. And keep on whining about 20 mm for A4... ;) ...and it would be nice to have also JU87 D3 or D4 version with 20 mm MG 151/20s in wings instead of 7.9 mm:s. They suit much better for its ground-attack role.
