Okay, you are smart. but this isn't the smartest way in which you've ever used your intelligence.
The meme that sums up my feelings toward you, would be the Cat In The Hat one. Yes, that one. The one that says, "You're not just wrong, you're stupid."
Because you are.
I thought people remembered that I was the bomber fanatic, in fact, I was in love with all things German bombers from the get-go. I never got to play the Do 217 M sadly, as a combination of real life, lousy computer performance, and other games competing for my attention got in the way of me finishing my JU-88A grind. But with that said, I wasn't too bad with either the Do-17Z(gorgeous plane IRL, even with the changed design when it became a bomber, and it retains that gorgeousness in game) or the Ju-88A. I really got a feel for their strengths and weaknesses. They were planes I really enjoyed and I kept the Do 17Z while I grinded the Ju-88A.
I don't understand why you think I'm not qualified to give my opinions on how the fate of German Bombers looks post-patch 2.05.
I don't mean you any disrespect. Any bomber pilot that has flown the German bombers that is worth their salt knows that your using "pea shooters" to defend against planes that have a great deal more firepower. Yes they are the only defense (other than the pilots flying skill) and yes sometimes you are able to whittle a light fighter down, chase them off or finish off a depleted heavy. Sure, they have their uses. When I think of survival in a German bomber I think of boost/speed, and engine protection, bomb accuracy (more so at higher altitudes and less at low altitudes) and integrity of the wings and tail so you can at least maneuver. I play all three German bombers differently and use different tactics for each. That said, the defensive guns are not going to protect you enough of the time, so you have to plan accordingly. Sometimes your just going to get caught exposed and get shot down, it happens. The idea is to take caps and influence the battle for your team as much as possible, despite the possibility of getting shot down multiple times.
I'm sorry if you lost interest and had technical or technology problems to keep up and play the game. I can only comment on my perspective and how I see things.
The "fate of German bombers" might actually be far brighter and more positive, post 2.0.5 patch for the customization and specialization will help in the areas that you can take advantage of the most. I have always looked at the German bombers as devastating weapons and I have learned to use them accordingly. I think things will only be better, but time will tell.
To be fair I have read over your post a few times now, and I simply cannot agree with your assessment. I don't see bombers as "doomed" planes that are helpless and at the mercy of those who might attack. So I feel like the whole premise that you put forth is not accurate.
