Is it a gamebreaker? Maybe not with 50 wins to unlock but 30 or even 20 like it seemed to unlock after for me is very little for such a powerful force.
Gamebreaker? Naaaah it's easy to shoot down flying a K4 or Me or He 162 booming and zooming from above, just aim at one of its 4 engine and game over. It's also very easy to ignore them during online games. But i feel like a boring thing to do. Oh, yes, rockets works perfect too against that flying dinosaur.

It's super fun during strike, maybe if both team have a couple in game balancing the match, or might be fun trying to defend him against attacking planes, or might be fun using it in some "creative" way like.... uhm... flying races along berlin canal , or some low pass under bridges...

I personally ignore ( ignore = not engage in fight ) players that choose a bomber ( bomber = plane displayed as a triangle instead of a dot on map ) in a team battle or dogfight game. Mainly because the auto gunner feature is always used by unfair or new players, but also because it's just a waste of bullet and fun shooting and chasing them, i prefer playing against fighters it's much more fun and challenging. In my opinion!


Have Fun!
