No, it really isnt. You want a Premium Bomber for ARB? Ju-288C. You want a CAS aircraft for GRB? Do-335 B-2. Both of these vehicles do both roles arguably better than this new Greif.
No, this is just about all it is, same as the Ki-48-II otsu
Here’s hoping there is something good in the 3rd vehicle box.
I’ve removed “both”, you’re right - it was because “naval” battles was added slightly after the original sentence was written, without it being checked for the new addition (was bad to not check also, I get it).
I understand it’s bad English in this scenario, but everyone makes mistakes sorry about this ;(
Makes me wonder if we’re ever going to see the addition of the VB-1 & -2, -3 & -4 or -13 in future. since they might give assorted US bombers a Fritz-X counterpart.
We can’t/won’t even get man in the loop systems for more modern munitions, so I doubt it. Maybe would be a bit too strong too? Though depending on the BR it may fight radar SPAA from time to time, so idk.
But it doesn’t change the fact the basic A-5 couldn’t use guided weapons, it lacked the Fug 203 guidance unit that was added to the R1.
So is the Tech Tree version utilising a weapon it shouldn’t, or is it really a mislabled A5/R1 that should also recieve the Hs293 in due course? Logically it could be either, but I hope it’s the latter case.
WWI BBs are already vulnerable to anything that can drop a bomb. I sank 3 in one battle with a Fw190F and I didn’t even have the big bomb unlocked!
Heavy guns (5"+) with HE-VT is the Heavy Bombers nightmare scenario. Unfortunately too many ships predate them, or are the wrong country, and so you only option there is to stick next to someone who does use them (and remembers AA exists!). If some WW2 ships are promoted to 7.3+ and replaced by earlier designs the air threat will only get worse at 6.x.
War thunder - Inconsistent…on the same page of the dictionary!
I think there’s still hangovers from the games earlier days when minor differences eg R & U sub-variants, block numbers, etc weren’t considered whereas nowadays the smallest change makes them a valid addition to the ranks.
