Starting yesterday on 9/12/2018 I hopped in-game to go play with my bomber(A-26B). However, upon entering a game, I realized that while looking through the bombing scope I could not see the white circle that shows you where your bombs will land. On top of that, my plane did not display any bombs or let me drop any bombs. Instead the only feedback I got from the fire button was the sound of the hatch opening and then nothing happening. I tried restarting my computer, and even launching the game with the cleared cache option but nothing seems to work. I know people get a lot of hate for playing the bombers, but I enjoy it and now I'm kind of disappointed that no matter what game I go into, i'm nothing but a giant glorified bullet catcher. Any help would be appreciated, pic of screwy bomber view attached.

I have had cases where my bombs wouldn't respawn but never anything like you describe.  If no one else has a solution I would delete the game and download it again.  I do that every couple of months.

You have checked to make sure your bombs are still equipped, right?  

 

Perhaps add a check and repair to the cache clearing, see if it helps.

Update: Apparently you can unequip the bombs and I must have done that accidentally. Thanks for bringing that up, otherwise I might have never thought about it.

HA!

 

Glad we could get it resolved.

Had the exact issue happened also in my bomber (A-26B), logged out & back in & assumed it was just a glich or a bug. Only happened once, so I paid it not attention & gamed on the rest of the night.

Glad you managed to sort everything out! This situation indeed may occur if you don't have your bombs equipped.

Maybe the devs could have a warning dialog pop up when Battle is pressed when a bomber is selected: No Bombs equipped, are you sure you wish to enter a battle? Yes/No  Just for bombers..maybe GA too.  If that’s too difficult, maybe the standard hangar interface, so when a plane doesn't have bombs equipped, there’s a visual indicator that’s hard to miss stating no bombs loaded like a bomb icon with a red circle and line through it overlay-ed over the plane on the carousel or main 3D hangar screen floating above the plane like the balloons over the ANNIVERSARY CAKE we used to have pre 2.0.

 

Have them discuss for the next 6 months to a year please.
