B52 thermals put to use?

The B-52 in war thunder has a thermal but only has unguided bombs and no missiles the b52 in real life can carry JSOWs and multiple AGM 84 and guided bombs

You’re going to pull it to 13.0 if it gets access to more advanced weapons, and it will lose its tail gun as well.

Maybe a tree b52 then?

It probably will be put together in the F-15E line, but maybe Gaijin will add other strategic bombers.

We need MOAB and b1 next i like this direction gaijin is going in

I want to see the B36 too.

B36 is a great choice, but bombers stays bombers, gajin should fix bombers in wt. A new gamemode only for bombers perhaps?

Just give the boy JDAMs bombs

What about it would really make it 13.0 in ARB with those weapons?

Oh cool you can hit bases better, what a amazing feat.

Since when was ARB BRs governed by a aircraft’s A2G abilities?

We haven’t been able to end matches via A2G strikes for years now.

Deadly BVR weapons.

Ah yes the deadly BVR weapon, the JDAM.

Aim-260… B52J is gonna have an AESA radar I heard if I am correct.

I can only speak for how it’ll perform in GRB but I highly doubt it will get placed at 13.0 even with the JSOW and AGM84. Both of these munitions (with how they’re currently implemented) are at best side grades to their counter parts (Mavs/GBUs). For them to be used effectively, they need to be deployed at closer ranges which will make the B-52 well within the range of the pantsir.

Depends on what munition is added for it to lose the tail gun plus there are already many planes in the game that are Frankensteins when it comes to payloads there should have been a b52d added for bombs only

gaijin could have at least given it some guided bombs

well, carpet bombing in this is going to be quite diffiuclt in GRB, as there are some 35mm demos waiting for you, I think it should get some guided bombs like Paveway, but be in a low br, until its actual weapon capability get added

well not exactly. Guided missiles and bombs appear 8.7+ so it may move a bit, but consider that its a huge bombarder while others are small fast jets. So maybe even no movement at all.

Well, if you guys really wish to add those… better ban it from naval except dumb bombs. Those poor battleship are just gonna get spawn camped again. Yamato is gonna be the victim again.
