Best starting pack for a newbie?

[PanzerVII]

I've been looking for basically an offline version of War Thunder then I found this gem. Only problem is that there are a lot of packs that seem to segregate a lot of good planes. What would be a good starting pack for me? I was really enticed by the Bodenplatte since it includes one of my fave aircraft (Me-262 Schwalbe) but it doesn't have the Heinkel bomber (or any bomber at all), which I really would like to drive as a gunner.

Kuban has a wide variety of airframes from four nations, a beautifully done map with mountains, coastlines, forests, and cities, and you can get it for 75% off on sale. I believe the devs are still giving vouchers out for that?

Thanks! I'll check out Kuban, and yes, the vouchers are exactly why I am buying a pack today hahaha.

Stalingrad is the first pack it contain most bombers. Kuban add A 20 and HE 111 H 16 

Moscow Add JU 88 witch is just great. 
It is a hard choice

I gifted you Moscow and Stalingrad. 
the licence key are sent 

It is the base of great battles and should be owned. 
If youbuy Kuban you will have a blast

As a return favor, plz give the bombers a shot

learn them and enjoy them we are far to few flying them

HOLY SH! Thank you so much! You really didn't have to gift me as a bomber guy, I really was going main bombers, hence why I chose Kuban since it has both the "big bombers" A-20 and HE 111.

 

I really don't know what to say. I totally did not expect this. Thank you so much! You really made my quarantine time a lot better!

 

I'll make sure to learn the bombers so you can hit me up anytime in multiplayer and we can bomb together

@PanzerVII Remember that if you play offline that you only get access to a limited part of the game. You will not be able to play the campaign.

Thanks for the heads up! It's no problem to me however since I do have stable internet connection, it's not just capable of the high speed gameplay of WT since I tend to lag behind.

Another thing, ir you got gifted BoMoscow, then you have an early version of the pe2, very god plane for that time frame, even for online use.

Bit of historical context. Bodenplatte timeframe the LW needed fighters, so built fighters By late 1944, bomber crew training had all been abandoned for fighter training instead. Note the increase in NCO pilots at this time. 2 or 3 years earlier they would be navigators, radio operators or gunners. The LW now only fielded multi role aircraft such as fighters or fighter destroyers which were multi role. Ie. They could drop bombs. This was why Bodenplatte was fundamentally, a flop for the LW. Not enough bombs dropped on the allied airfields for a knockout blow and LW dominance of the skies  again.
