they are working on a fix for the yer2 bombing issue i believe although a lot of their "fixes" in the past have been crap and focused on making the grindfest harder (they never used to have research points before in the game it's a new thing).
it's the most OP bomber in the game it can destroy a mini base in 2 strikes or if your paired up with a mate 1 strike.
i think the fix will revolve around changing the gameplay rather than the planes themselves. like i said before they aren't willing to change the planes themselves at all.
iirc they will just make it so bases don't count as much towards tickets, or you need to destroy the 3 mini bases before unlocking the airstrip to blow up or something along those lines.
they won't change the planes themselves.
they don't believe they are OP because in other game modes they absolutely suck without the boosts (all planes are boosted in arcade mode), in fact they are one of the worst to use in the other game modes (which aren't available as of yet on the ps4).
i can see your frustration and after all the reading I have done the only option is to have separate factions for separate parts of the game.
Russians for Arcade Battles is the best imo or Germans if you want a bit of a challenge.
Then anyone else really for Historic or Simulation modes depending on what you like apart from the Russians as they suck at those modes.
Also Gaijin themselves are a Russian development team so you can see why they wouldn't be so willing to change them. Although it is stupid how OP they are.
imo in arcade mode all planes should have the same stats but just different models. e.g. a spitfire, lagg, bf109, mig, etc, etc can all climb, turn and accelerate the exact same with the same top speeds, etc, the same strength of plane structural integrity, etc, etc. all the guns should be the same rate of fire, calibre, number of rounds, etc, etc.
basically an even playing field.
in the other game modes they should be exactly how they were in real life.
Gaijin on the other hand have just used the realistic data and then just boosted all the planes, the reason why the russians are so OP is due to their guns and bombs. Their guns are far superior as are their bombs, without the boosts they would be too slow to be effective but with the boosts they can simply do drive by's no bother now.
i did warn you a few day's ago, in fact i first posted about the russians a week or two ago when some guy was swearing about them online in game (microphone in game still doesn't work it's all static noise he was using the text box).
i really really like the game and this is a fundamental issue, if they don't balance it, it will mean basically 75% of people will be using the russians it's a no brainer, there are 5 different factions iirc so that number should be around 20% so you can see the huge difference it makes to the game.
