here is my proposal to keep ECM (or at least IRCM) for both of these planes as they will need it when they join air RB, and if they done have something on the like wise of ECM its going to be the B66 all over again where you are going to be tailed by Mig 21s and f106s before you can even deliver your payload to a base. i think we could really have a good thing for bombers if you keep these brilliant additions in the game, thank you for reading.
Tuzzle.
Or add cruise missiles to them so they dont have to get close to the base
Hopefully a similar gamemode to this event permanently, this is when more advanced air-to-ground weapons would join the game, as well electronic countermeasure which is something exclusive to these two bombers. Hopefully in a improved PvPvE environment where ground strike really matters which this event has shown again that not only is not worth (points gain) is also useless for the mission progression in contrast to the advert on the original post.
Ah yes, no counterplay at all…
Definitely just wouldn’t quit the event if that happened.
I’m not sure if either would get proper cruise missiles.
B-52H was called a Pre-1991 model, Pre-AGM-86C so it doesn’t have much available afaik.
and Tu-95M is only really a strategic iron bomber, Tu-95MS and B-52J would be much better options for the “ALCM slingers”.
This is for when B-52H/Tu-95M make it into live matches, not limited to the event.
It’s not like there’s much counterplay to them anyways.
wouldnt matter in a ground air rb sense because a pantsir would sack that cruise missile
Anything modern would sack a cruise missile tbf, even gepards would if they have eyes…
Hard to miss something as big as a Kh-55 or AGM-86 lol.
fair, im not really informed on cruise missiles or atgm for that matter. i just know that bombers need more “castle” like defenses in regular play.
now that being said early SAC aircraft such as the peacemakers and b47 could probably slide by with just a 7.3 7.7 br and have speed as there defense.
we dont have the versions that are able to use cruise missiles
+1
B52H half size of the map 😭 ECM would help it a little bit
b-66 is the worst bomber in game in my opinion it’s so awful to use !
Cruise missiles are interceptable by regular A2A weapons IRL and should be in game as well. Honestly an early game tax on radar missiles might actually improve upper BR ARB lol.
ECM should be in game… Like anybody flying close to a growler should be covered by it severly reducing the radar range and locking ability
Same with buff ECM for the win get lose and personal or get dropped by bombs
i will say it will be an experiment but adding new aircraft roles might make a new type of gameplay like ECM aircraft and early warning aircraft as players and add new types of way to add new ways to get SL and RP? just a thought ofc
Early warning would be cool to play as but for someone who knows what he is doing and what others should do… not in this game but ECM planes would be much easier… less stand off weapons but you get xp and money for jamming
they’re at 8.3 with a billion countermeasures, they;ll be fine
I’m going to genuinely tweak if they don’t add the radar aim assistance for the B-52H’s tail gun before the 5th star live server playability, like how they also removed B-66B’s radar-assisted tail gun when it literally had it in the dev server.
Kh 101 has made it through air defence batteries in recent memory, so 101 should at least have a chance. Especially if loosed in volleys.
that is why you need “nuclear SEAD”
Do love the wording on wikipedia, “The SRAM was so much smaller that a number could be carried along with other weapons, allowing a single aircraft to blast a nuclear path through to its targets.”
