War Thunder #1 : Bomber Tips
Here are a few tips to improve your bombing skills in war thunder. This is devoted to medium and heavy bombers.
- Use your bombsight and zoom in : This will give you a crosshair that will make your aim more accurate, try to toggle between normal view and zoomed to help align your targets.
It's best to bomb stationary targets like AA, pillboxes and bases makes aiming way easier.
If you decide to go for moving targets try to stay between 2000-3000 meters aiming ahead of the targets at first you'll be missing a lot, once you get the feel of it you'll be able to hit way more of those moving yellow dots.
When going for bases try to drop your bombs in the middle that's where they will deal the most damage.
- Facing enemy fighters : even at high altitude you'll encounter a few enemy fighters trying to take you down, your best chance of survival is to turn your back at them. Many times I've tried going for a head on, and about 80% of the time I ended up with a dead pilot.
When the enemy is about a km away, this is the time you want to man your guns and start opening fire usually this results in a kill or it scares him away.
I was able to take him out but sustained heavy damage due to the P38 centralized armament.
I still managed to stay in the sky for another 5 minutes before the second engine overheated.
- Don't dive bomb : You're big, heavy and slow diving down on targets or staying at low altitudes is a sure way to get yourself shot down easily. All you're doing is being an easy target for fighters and anti-aircraft.
I tried dive bombing managed to take out 5 AA and then a minute later I had 3 fighters on my six, and my plane was heading down towards earth in flames.
The higher up you are the better, enemy fighters will have a harder time getting to you and the less accurate AA fire is.
Just by maintaining high altitude I was able to stay alive and untouched the whole match, but If I dived down next to those enemy planes I wouldn't last more than 2 minutes.
- Use WEP: This will help you reach your destination a little faster, bombers are slower than any fighters you won't be able to outrun them. While climbing I've found it very efficient to climb at 10 degrees the entire flight.
Great guide on bombers! I do enjoy a bit of War Thunder now and again, great game.

Hi @irigon , interesting post thanks for sharing, where can i download this game, i will give a try !
Hey @olisan you can download War thunder for pc on steam or by going on their website http://warthunder.com/th
I play war thunder when it first came out, and once it got released on steam I didn't play as much. But every now and then I hop back on. It really is enjoyable!
Hi @nesbitt, War thunder came out at the end of 2012, I enjoyed it for 2 years playing 1-2 hours a day together with league of legends, cs-go, gta v etc...
But I would recommend war thunder for everyone loving flying planes but haven't much time to master flight simulator.
