There is a player base which sometimes plays for fun and not just for the techtree grind.

Thank you for the precision !
You forgot the seamines - the 3.0 event vehicle could carry 8 of them.

For those of you unaware of the power of mines:
One of them kills a single base…
https://wiki.warthunder.com/Type_A_Mark_I_mine
Have in mind that the TNT requirement for killing killing a base depends mainly on the BR of the plane. Assuming a BR of 3.7 a single mine kills usually a repawning base and definitively a non-respawning base on 3 bases Frontline maps and older 3 bases maps like Stalingrad - as long as you stay below the base health increase above BR 4.7…
Edit: 8 seamines have a TNT output of 4 metric tons - try to find a bomber with a higher TNT output outside a B-29 (the 4.7 PB4Y can take 8 too) …

Given how bombers are as a whole nothing but RP/SL pinatas in their current state, I just don’t have any interest in this.

I like them, they will be useful for ship mode
Hasn’t the explosive power of sea mines against land targets been significantly reduced?
Is there any chance we can get the ability to earn the PBM-3 Mariner in future? Many of us PBM Fans lost the ability to get it because of education and such the last time around.
missed opportunity…

I saw a lot of bug reports about them recently.
A lot of complains addressed that they failed to explode or fell “below” the map…
According to this report (use translator) they are working on fixing this:

We already have A2G radar in the game, on SU-39. But it’s janky

This one looks really fun!
The MiG-21 Bison also has access to A2G radar modes

To add to the other replies, I remember when the A-6E TRAM was in the dev server it had a functional radar in game, but was removed as air-ground radars weren’t really in functional state yet
Thats because it has the same Kopyo radar that the Su-39 carries in the underbelly pod
exactly, they can be used in missions or custom battles too, in the future there might be new game mode additions, its always advantageous to get the vehicles now, even if people say its DOA, in the future it might have a place.
they could still bring it in for the Netherlands in the future
It’s a boat, it’s a plane, no, it’s a copy paste! how delightful
