The Pe-8 Is Balanced

  • The 5000kg bomb on the Pe-8 doesn't require much aiming. I wouldn't say the Pe-8 is overpowered in and of itself, but it is far too easy to spawn. You shouldn't be able to get a weapon that can wipe half a team just from getting a kill and a scout.

      That's the story of my life when I bring out my Halifax with the 12,000+ Kg of bombs. I can never get a nice carpet bomb or full drop detonation kill streak. I always end up damaging someone and getting murdered by every enemy fighter and SPAA that exists.

    I've never played the Pe-8, but I enjoy seeing it in matches. It's such a massive aircraft with a classic silhouette, and it makes everyone lose their minds trying to bring it down. I guess I like the dynamic objective they bring into the gameplay (which WT desperately needs more of, IMO). Then there's that absolute meme of a bomb, especially the way the model reacts to "touchdown" where it just kind of sticks there in the ground-texture like a sedan-sized golf tee.
    Overall I agree with Spook, maybe raise the SL cost a bit but leave it as a reasonably obtainable unit in ground RB. 1-2 instances of it per match is an ideal maximum in my opinion, otherwise it overwhelms teams trying to play the actual objectives and can lead to strife with teamkills.

    The Pe-8 is very much a one shot weapon, relying more on the spotting ability of the pilot and mistakes made by the enemy, meanwhile something like the P-47 can get so many more kills due to the fact that it can make multiple runs with a bunch of armament.

    A pizza delivery car went zipping past my position. I waited until he was well behind me and got some hits with my machine gun just as he was reaching the corner of a building.
    A few seconds later he pops out from the other side of the building, probably thinking that I had driven off or not considering the direction the bullets had come from. His nose met my cannon shell. No more pizzamobile. :-)

    The Pe-8, just like *_literally any strike aircraft,_* is only OP until someone remotely competent brings in a fighter. I can routinely get an ace in a 109 before having to go re-arm - and in that time, only rarely does an enemy plane get so much as a single kill.

    • @bear4963

      That is somewhat true. However it requires you to die before the enemy spawns their Pe-8 or play an excessive amount of planes in ground RB. I'm, there to grind tanks not get in a plane after 2 mins just to hope that I can be useful.

    PE-8 is a double-edged sword:
    - Yes, you can kill half of the enemy team but just as well your own if you are rushed to drop the bomb early. It is likely to get you a lot of SL in penalty or removal from the match.
    - Frontally it isn't strong against fighters and while on the attack run, it is likely to be the direction the hostiles come towards you

For Example the 6000LB Grand Slam from the UK being dropped out of a Lancaster, even adding that would fair things out.
