The Buccaneer S.1 is an amazing aircraft, and at the current BR in air RB it suffers a lot, It is a perfectly good aircraft in Ground RB but in ARB it suffers due to it having an abysmal thrust to weight ratio when fully loaded, No way of defending itself, And harsh up tiers to 9.7 where it can see AIM-9G and other missiles it has no viable way of defending itself against. If it had an air spawn in ARB and it stayed at its current BR, It would be a decent base bomber, although it would still struggle against the 9.7 up tiers. If brought down in BR though (without an air spawn) It might present a more viable airframe to use.

Nah, not gonna happen I guess.
Bomber Vautours lost their air spawn after the tech-tree revamp on the “Sons of Attila” update but still stayed 9.0BR and suffering. At the same time, their Interceptor variant IIN stayed at 8.3 with air-spawn and 4 SARH missiles.
Compared to Canberra, or IL-28. I think Gaijin completely forgot that ‘Bucc S.1’ doesn’t have air-spawn.

Yes just put the Bucc S.1 into lower BR, give it an airspawn because why the hell do SAAB’s get one when this thing not?
The other way would be just right out buff the S.1 with better engines, Air to air rockets or flares and keep it at 8.7 in ARB / GRB.
Gaijin needs to go through and make the higher tier air spawns a plane by plane basis instead of just a tier basis. The Vautours and F-84s all need one, but sonce some trees have them at rank 5 and some at rank 6, even though theyre the same aircraft some have it and some don’t.
Its a broken system that that the devs implemented to stop aircraft, such as the A4s, being too overpowered with their airspawn. They just refused to acknowledge that it makes other arcraft objectively worse in one tree compared to the exact same aircraft in another tree. And for others it just made it absolutely unplayable.
Chances are, they know. They just wont acknowledge it and won’t change it because it won’t make money if they change it.
