RM-10 Bombushka Appreciation Thread

[Emu War]

I love mine. Three of us flew around LS, trading off the pilot seat and exchanging battle stations. Its definiteky a force to be reckoned with if the gunners are competent.

[Black-Dragon96]

^ Indeed. If you got a competent pilot, who knows how to fly a gunship and a bunch of good shots on the guns you can shut down a lobby rather quickly. The only thing that can be a threat to you then would be jets and the explosive sniper.

Ex sniper is the real doom for this one: with competent pilot and gunners even good jet pilots can be repelled, but you can't repel a bullet.

 

Especially when you are in a building-sized target.

[DeadArashi]

Honestly if they allowed it to take as many shots as the Insurgent or APC to take down I would instantly buy it. It just seems really meh to me right now

[RUFF_inthejungle]

So wildly impractical but so much fun on contact missions and I know Madrazo appreciates Anna being delivered to his roof in such a timely and discreet manner.

 

Gunners or paratroopers want to grind missions AC130 style add me on PSN!

[DrSweatySphincter]

It's frustrating that this thing isn't a true fortress of death but questioning myself to get it if it's on sale.

[Skeve613]

For whatever reason, I seem to attract a lot of people in other planes who try to ram the Bombushka, not realizing it can't be destroyed so easily. Well, either that or they are sacrificing themselves and their planes in tribute to the hilariously retarded awesomeness that is the Bombushka.

 

Here's a few examples of what I mean; amusingly, the guy in the Hydra that collided with me later ended up as my turret gunner, as visible in the kill feed in a couple of the other clips.

 

 

 

 

Ramming other aircraft with it deliberately is doable, but very difficult given how slow and clunky it is; people trying to take off in other planes are pretty much the only ones you can take out.

[xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

After finding out how to open the rear door, I understand why the Bombushka is so slow. Turns out it's the perfect speed for keeping vehicles ahold, even while taking sharp turns and dives. Problem of course is the fact that you can't open it without damaging the aircraft. I have a theory that the Bombushka was originally supposed to act like the Cargo Plane, allowing players to walk around during flight and the ability to operate the door at ease. Otherwise they could have just stuck to a more traditional gunship design.

Is the cargo bay of any use? Can it fit a car without it to be glitching all around?

[Black-Dragon96]

^Its not useable in any way.

[delorianlazarus]

So, this guy is using mods or...?

[Black-Dragon96]

There is a way to shoot it open but that damages the plane.

[xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

No mods required. You can shoot the back door to open it. Using armour upgrades prevents it from taking enough damage to harm the engines, so you can fly it without any issues.

It can fit most cars and trucks; I haven't tried any larger vehicles yet, but there's enough space for the doors to enter and exit the vehicle. I haven't had any problems the vehicles glitching out inside.

Can you post a photo so we can see what it looks like? Or can anyone else post a pic?

[Gaffa]

Whatever you put in there doesn't sit still anyway - more than five minutes airborne I'm sure would be a challenge without any damage happening to either the vehicle inside or the plane itself...

 

Anyway, if anyone ever gave a damn:

 

 

If there's two numbers for one vehicle, it means the vehicle becomes more resistant when occupied by a player.

That's far from the truth. It's not like the Titan where the vehicle keeps on smashing into the plane. I've flown the Bombushka with a vehicle in from the military base, landed it at the airport, then flew it back without any damage to any vehicle. The only way you'd damage it is if you were to attempt a roll, which you shouldn't do any way.

That's not my experience at all sorry.

 

EDIT:- well I certainly can't get from Ft. Zancudo to LSIA - either one of two things will happen: the plane will get damaged and start smoking (eventually cutting out) or exploding from damage or - more commonly the vehicle will just fall out the back (after having a successful takeoff). Do you have any strategy for keeping the car in place to at least allow that distance?

Does anyone know what the resale value is for bombushka? Like if I buy it and decide I hate it or want some money to put tword something new?

I know it's 40% of purchase but it's too early on a Saturday for maths.

[Happy Hunter]

 

Pretty sexual, though it needs a buff against explosive snipers definitely. I mean, a Havok takes more from them than it does.

[xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

^ I know right. The armour should be at least like the Rhino. I'd go as far as making it have as much armour as the APC to make up for its slow mobility, thinking that the Titan is half the price, twice the speed and has a lager player capacity. As of now I'd price the Bombushka at $3,000,000 for its design, armaments and potential use to carry vehicles in the back. I like the Bombushka but it's like the Savage; it needs more protection and capacity.

[delorianlazarus]

Last night's ride... love this plane as my new cruiser... actually that was my girlfriend managing that beast, first online flight ever for her.

 

[HonorableMan]

Bought one on discount. Worth it. I've kept the tail guns the normal machine guns, and they still shred enemy aircraft. Almost feels better than the explosive ones- the ROF on the cannons is a bit low.

 

It's just beautiful, though.

so it's on sale now... Will you be getting it?

More like a last minute decision lol

[The Wandering Hunter]

this thing is even more useless now that the hunter is out, and has a crazily effective cannon.

[MeisterJazz]

Lol I just took one of these things out with my Hunters hellfire. This thing is death magnet.

[Happy Hunter]

I think it being vulnerable to other aircraft is fine - I mean, it's a bomber, it's meant for stuff on the ground.

 

But it only taking 3 explosive sniper rounds is really pathetic. A Havok takes more than that. Like, wtf? Needs a huge buff against those. Even something like 10 would be a small amount considering how easy this thing is to hit. Ideally it shouldn't be a problem at all for it.
