If we think B-52H and Tu-95M are being added after full removal of airfield destruction in ARB.
I think more DOA and less vestigial about this case, but I agree with what you mean in context.
Bombers also had a plan to win.
Yes, I heard about the legacy of the era of the Tu-4 Steamrolled the match.
Probably the Phantom series caused that problem AFAIK?
Spamming rockets to the airfield, and the game crashed.
How do you tell the difference between one from 1970s and 2000s besides the m61 to me theres no difference
They didn’t remove it, they couldn’t get it to work to begin with.
Then why bother even adding the B-66B Destroyer at all?
The MD-1A radar was intended to be a major pioneering defensive feature of the B-66B. Helping the already remotely controlled M24A1 tail turret aim more easily against interceptors and rear attacks. Not having it at all and being essentially stuck with the typical manual third-person gunner aim like WW2 era bombers is a huge setback when jet bombers without countermeasures are already easy enough in most game modes to hit and shoot down either with missiles or guns in literal seconds.
They’re still working on the code, and it’ll come when it’s ready.
And now, at this moment, we have a modern B-52H Stratofortress variant added to the game that utilizes an even more advanced dual search and track AN/ASG-2 fire control radar system for its tail gun, before they were eventually deleted from production B-52s after 1991.
It’s impossible to just ‘ignore’ these features on aircraft that are as iconic and well-known as the B-52.
So sickening how bombers in general have been treated for the past literal decade in this game.
They deserve way better.
I just want the B-52H to have JDAMs. The targeting pod is mostly useless outside of spotting.
Well the tail gun did not come off till the 90s so there is really nothing that is noticeable from the outside. All the changes was primarily inside the the skin.
Yeah but still how do we know fs we have the one that cant carry crusie missile or not seeing as the changes are just internal and not external until the early 1990s
Well by the way things worked in the past there is nothing stopping it from carrying cruise missiles. Before they dropped the gun because of cost to maintain. It was already able to use them.
Really they only limitation is if gaijin wants to add them. You could argue that it is a modern one because of the gray paint job that was only done on the modern ones. But i like that paint job so i don’t want to give gaijin an excuse to remove it.
Yuh also they could add the agm 142 have nap to it because the pre 1990s ones had them i think
“No, please don’t ruin ARB for those worthless PVE-loving Zombers who ruin the game and free-ride the match. We need to make them learn how to A2A, not babysitting them.” /s
If Gaijin ever thinks about bombers or Bomber players… I reckon we wouldn’t have been treated like this at all at the very beginning.
Soon™ (Probably takes three years or more)
Or just Gaijin is frightened about those phantoms when the Tu-4 was a death star.
