At this point, Ground RB is the only somewhat feasible way to play them... A bomber's main advantage was being at high altitude, but the BR system naturally removes that advantage by putting them against more advanced fighters that can negate that advantage. The next biggest advantage was through having a massive formation that created a very devastating umbrella of gunner fire, but in War Thunder you'll be lucky just to have an actual friend to fly with...
Heavy bombers are inherently unsuited to use in video games like this. They are mainly useful in strategic roles, combat games are almost entirely tactical-level, sometimes operational-level. But anything strategic-level is going to be an entirely different genre.
I was in a Churchill VII on the second match. Seeing a ton of PB4Y's was terrifing, i got Can of beans with HE and Cod erased me on the last second of the match. Pretty epic ngl.
Nearly fell out of my chair laughing when at the start the opponent typed "oh no" in the chat! You could just read the resignation of his fate in those two simple words!
That was really epic!! For a future video I'd like to suggest a formation of B5Ns attacking a fleet in naval battles or ground battles to the sound of "Tokiko Kato - If You have been born into this world", the first song on the album! 😉 👍🏽

Hey Cod, been enjoying your videos for a while and just had a crazy thought: how about you bring planes with as many 60 KG bombs as you can and just see how much damage you can do with such small bombs.
Some of my best air rb experiences have been flying in bomber formation with dedicated fighter support, getting people to play along is the only struggle.
I wish bombers were good in ARB, they should have one super high hp target that encourages flying in formation and the gunners and armor needs to be buffed. I'm not saying bring back the old days of op bombers insta winning, but the destruction of the one large base should be a decent amount of tickets.
Imagine everyone dropping their bombs with different time fuses, one will die at impact but if other get close after the drop, they’ll have more bombs waiting
You could try going in from below. Not only will you be undetected more often than not, bombers either have no turrets there or only 1, so it's the easiest avenue of attack
I saw “oh no” in chat and I was like “where’s the callout?” and then I see “we’ve got air incoming” and I say to myself, “LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!” Edit: the cinematic shots are great!
the gameplay and cinematics are cool, but it just doesnt feel efficient when all of the planes are in a line instead of an arrow formation or something to cover literally half a city and get more kills/chaos
It’s not easy, trust me. We take off from airfield and only have a finite amount of time after takeoff to get in formation, and not everyone is proficient in formation flight, so usually the best pilots will all be upfront _(like myself)_ and all the lesser skilled pilots in the back.
I see that you need to do formation and have not much time, but way too low alt. Can you try 1 shooting enemy AF at simulator mode? I had 3 people agree to try carpet bombing on sims mode. Pretty much hitting all part of the AF. 1 box turned yellow.
When you played as the ducks did you have a game on the desert map with the bridge and a British spaa destroyed like 2-3 of you. If yes that was me there was like 4 duks in the sky so I thought it would’ve been you?
First.
then im second :(
you didnt even watch the entire video before commenting this fake fan
Third :)
unfair
31st
This video perfectly illustrates how awesome bombers in war thunder could be and at the same time how gaijin has make them useless.

@Tobias-wb6kd and this is why you'll find me constantly complaining for EC to come back.
@@bradenhagen7977 sim exists.
Instead of having AI attack planes, let’s have AI heavy bombers, nothing crazy just 4 or 5 you could form up with world be great

At that point I wouldn't even care 😂

oh but he got his load off YES ohohoh YES oh oh oh -Cod 2024
5:53 Good landing, now in 40 years this PB4-Y will be recovered and restored for display.
The edits and camera angles are insane brother! I could watch hourlong footage of those shots!
MAN....youre on my list of channels that i look up and not just find in my feed. These videos are gold.
2:01 “oh no”
*He saw his life flash before his eyes*
2:47 bro dropped the hardest edit, shi look like a movie trailer
Fr
Fo know the music's name
@@ondrastonis2944 nope i dont if i do i ll tell u
Yall should organize a large sim battle with formations on each team (both bombers and fighters), and see which team can outdo the other.
Been here since the Poodster gaming days. Glad to see your videos take off!
YOOOO the first cinematic was SICK!! 👏
3:34 yoo the way the typhoon just pops in is so cool
that german kv-1 had the dollarplays decal, unfortunately, he didn't angled that day
hash browns are pretty nice
Nice? Nice? They are way more than just nice! They’re not the amazing invention that are waffle fries but they’re not just nice! They are amazing!
@@FloridamanofhistoryI hate hash browns
@@wtdoober this is unacceptable
@@wtdoober GET OU-
Yes
This game will remain awful until the snail makes bombers not lose their tails like salamanders when hit by even the slightest gunfire.
Yes

Thank you man! I’ll take a look for you :)

4:48 "I've Walked so you can run, Nuke a to their spawn"
Shit actually hits hard AF
People in the air seeing this coming have to be doing a double take thinking, "What the hell? DId I accidentally queue for Air Assault?"
Oh Man, your video never let me down
Everytime i got a frustrated game
Your video ignite me
Thank you so much
Sending love from Hong Kong💓
The irony of Ryanberry doing a full lineup video while being in the port novo match
sad to see that he's not in this video because he was as usual carrying hard
editing is amazing! great job yall
What if you all became bombers and relied on the combined firepower of the turrets?
So happy to see that Seattle USNR paint scheme.
I love your cinematics.
Maybe could i have some tips on how to do cinematics like this
My nickname for the PB4Y is
peanut, butter, 4, you
Makes sense I guess
These are the coolest videos on war thunder
5:49 "oh god can i make it" -_-... whos gonna tell him
They really need to give bombers their durability back.
the cinematics 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Cod, been enjoying your videos for a while and just had a crazy thought: how about you bring planes with as many 60 KG bombs as you can and just see how much damage you can do with such small bombs.
Pretty cool how you Ryanberry was also in one of ur games making a video for his Swedish tech tree
how do you make those orange colors at the start, they look really good
I am so glad that they fixed the sea mines clipping through the floor
I'm getting the impression you would really enjoy the game Bomber Crew
Some of my best air rb experiences have been flying in bomber formation with dedicated fighter support, getting people to play along is the only struggle.
That's why they need to bring EC back.
great video, as always
Nice, Next pe-8?
the cinematic are better than any hollywood movie i have ever seen
if it wasnt a question of perfomance it would be sick that those city map could be completely leveled, even the tall building
I have an insane video idea. It should be either a fleet of Ho 229s or a group of each late WW2 German jets
Everyone of these bombing videos give off rumbling vibes
14:35 No one say a word about this ok 😅
🤫
My W key got locked down for reasons unknown
you should fly some me 264s in ground rb!
The cinematica are fire😂
I LOVE YOU VIDS
This is the kind of CAS I would be okay with.
Not getting self-delete bombed or tracked down and gunned down by revengebombers.
That just looks so freaking awesome haha
The pain of flying the pb4y at the old br of 5.3 air rb with the how fragile it is was nothing but suffering. Played till spaded then never again
I wish bombers were good in ARB, they should have one super high hp target that encourages flying in formation and the gunners and armor needs to be buffed. I'm not saying bring back the old days of op bombers insta winning, but the destruction of the one large base should be a decent amount of tickets.
Imagine doing a massive event with different aircraft theme
Like Army
And naval
Within a certain BR range just for some diversity
first part reminds me of castle in the sky were that one gunship takes out all four of the giant ships
Imagine everyone dropping their bombs with different time fuses, one will die at impact but if other get close after the drop, they’ll have more bombs waiting
Great video again, that skin on the P-51 is well worth getting. Is it my imagination or is one of your teammates from my homeland of New Zealand??
"I've walked so that you can run" how did bro cook with that sentence 💀
I like how on the first carpet bombing, there is literally ONE tank actually on ground. AND ITS SPAA
Better than most movie trailers 😂
Man i missed something epic in my Chi To's 4.7 BR. If only there was no event i may have been playing in tht BR for pure fun
cheaky ryanberry cameo in that last one
i always get killed by this thing when i try intercepting it, its just OP
You could try going in from below. Not only will you be undetected more often than not, bombers either have no turrets there or only 1, so it's the easiest avenue of attack
Absolutely CARNAGE Ground and Air! lmao!
If you like fast bombers check out the Japanese ones. Not the biggest loads, but boy can they fly
The codmineman bias
He has soveit and american and german and british and premium and youtuber bias
This is so fuckin sick! GAIJIN needs to hire you!
Cod, my man... for the love of all things snaily... BIND YOUR PRIIMARY AND SECCONDARY TANK CANNONS TO DIFFERENT BUTTONS!!!
You should do just AC-130ing in the VB-238.
7:45 You missed a chance here for acinematic shot. The 3 tanks lined up with they machine guns blazing
I know you thing is planes but could you do a video of a large group of you using the bmp3 with the drone as artillery
Bro really switched map mid game. From Alaska to ground zero
Day 5 of asking for one of the Amerikabomber vehicles we have in the game for a video. Either the He 177 or the Me 264.
The anime girl decal on these classic bombers are beautifuly cursed
I saw “oh no” in chat and I was like “where’s the callout?” and then I see “we’ve got air incoming” and I say to myself, “LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!”
Edit: the cinematic shots are great!
People who came cause of the epic short
👇
Were those used in World War II because they look like World War II era planes
Could you put the song names from the cinematic scenes in the descriptions? I would love to listen to them.
Der Gegner macht sich schon in die Hosen.
the gameplay and cinematics are cool, but it just doesnt feel efficient when all of the planes are in a line instead of an arrow formation or something to cover literally half a city and get more kills/chaos
and the fighter "escort" never does their job in time
It’s not easy, trust me. We take off from airfield and only have a finite amount of time after takeoff to get in formation, and not everyone is proficient in formation flight, so usually the best pilots will all be upfront _(like myself)_ and all the lesser skilled pilots in the back.
This is just the B-24 on steroids 💀💀💀💀
Bomber moment
they knew they wouldn’t make it back, but they did it anyways to make their country proud
I see that you need to do formation and have not much time, but way too low alt.
Can you try 1 shooting enemy AF at simulator mode?
I had 3 people agree to try carpet bombing on sims mode.
Pretty much hitting all part of the AF.
1 box turned yellow.
Play as a squad of I 15 WR’s please
When you played as the ducks did you have a game on the desert map with the bridge and a British spaa destroyed like 2-3 of you. If yes that was me there was like 4 duks in the sky so I thought it would’ve been you?
Try bringing a ton of 1.0 tanks to top tier
Please do B17 Flying fortress, that will be awesome!!
He did
@ToreDL87 oh he did?? Nvm
Do the F4E with the 13 1000 pound bombs
Could you and your comunity play the flak bus as an anti-air?
Pls do this in air rb with 5 bombers and fighter escorts
Are sea mines back to normal ? I played them 3 weeks ago and they removed their explosive potential in ground RB :(
What if you took out one of the rank 1 howitzers and used them as actual artillery
Do this with pe 8s armed with the 100 ib bombs
Happy to see my POV was used 🫡
are the planes made of paper??? why do they desintegrate instantly???
It's basically the grandpa of the ac130 ?
🔥💥🔜
claprbet blombing
My buddy shot you down at 14:27 lol
the fact that a plane can kill 2 bombers in one burst just shows how weak bombers are in wt. 4.40
Yoooo 58 minutes
