BAC TSR.2 - Technical Data and discussion

Good grief…
The neck on standard TSR is long
But on the second one it’s even worse

Well,… if Gaijin adds it, with missiles , then it’s a 12.0 11.7minimum aircraft,… because of speed and ceiling.

As said earlier, without those missiles it is already an 11.0 one.

So why isnt the F-111A 11.0 or higher then?

TSR2 with no AAMs or guns and 10k of bombs with a top speed of 2’879 km/h is 11.0+?

add on what? 2x Red Tops isnt going to make a huge amount of difference

but

F-111A, 2-6x Aim-9Bs or higher and/or gun pod with massive amount of ammo and/or what 30k? of bombs at 2’655 km/h is only 10.3

Standard no AAM TSR2 would be 10-10.3 at the most due to the lack of A2A. It would be the ultimate boom and zoom bomber. At 11.0+ it would be 100% DOA and pointless to even consider adding as we have the Tornado. 2x Red Tops would increase its BR but only marginally

If see charts correctly, it’s 4 red top.

And f gaijin was fair at balancing:
Whole Jet ERA should be on a range from 7.0 to 14.0, with F-16C and later MiG-29 at 14.0

I could be mistaken.

But CMs are in wing pods. Not internal.

So that’s 2x red tops (maybe with that totally hypothetical versions) and CMs. Or 4x Red tops with no CMs. No gun with either config

(Red tops are barely equal to 9Es currently)

But the standard version (and most likely version) would be no AAMs. No guns, CMs only If you take the CM pods (reducing A2G) but 200 mph faster

Vs f-111a with 6x aim 9bs, gun pod, internal CMs, MAWS and 3x the bomb load at a full BR lower by your reasoning?

F-111 shouldn’t be where it stands,… again,… you’re comparing an aircraft that is unbalanced,… you know it.

Based upon this statement, you reckon it would be a higher BR than anything else Britain has at the moment just because it gets red tops. At no point in this comment so you state anything about compression issues.

Compression is an issue. Maybe F111A should be higher, but currently it shouldn’t be any higher without massive decompression first.

Just because it can fly higher than anything at speed higher than anything,… yes,…

With no A2A weapons at all. Well rip that would be DOA instantly. No point adding it. Well just have to take the F-111K instead then

With no AA, it still is a bomber,… and should be used as such,…

Passed

Passed for devs to check if this is possible → yet doesn’t mean it will be implemented ever.

But,… i just hope for it not being underrated,…

Why

Why not? They’re are better than most Fighter pilots.

Real bomber mains, are really challenging foes

cause a lot of them will have thought out where they’ll fly and what they’ll do to avoid detection… because no guns :)

TSR.2 made it’s maiden flight 60 years ago last Friday:

Hopefully we’ll see it in game one day.

I am sad to say this but I don’t think it’ll grace the skies of WT, this is one of my favourite aircraft of the period, this and the P.1154 (and HS.1154)

i think it mostly depends on how desperate Gaijin gets for money, it did get passed to devs as far as I’m aware

I dont think many people would pay for the TSR.2. They have no methods to defend itself, and like other supersonic bombers they would struggle to be at that speed by the time they are over the bases.
Plus its British

unless they put it at something stupid like 10.7 it would do fine. Fasr, with up to 4 red tops and flare/chaff available in pods. It would just act like an f105 basically.
