I believe the reason it wasn’t added it because it isn’t really needed

Britain already has the Buccaneer, Tornado, Jaguar, Phantoms etc… and now the F111C which all do a similar job. It was mostly completed, but not fully and it never had weapons fitted for anything.

I’d really like to see the F111F just because it is a cool jet, but I can understand Gaijins reasoning here

I’m more annoyed about the EAP, Britain could have got that instead of the Gripen. Yes the EAP was never fully complete, but it was in no worse state than the Yak141 for example. It would have been a domestic top tier British jet, instead of just getting a Swedish one

where has it been said were getting the f111c?

2122

A gzabi leak from earlier today listed the F111C as coming for the UK

Smin1080P also hinted at it coming to the UK on the forums a few hours ago

I can’t say for certain but I’m pretty sure it will be

2123

The F-111 in the teaser is a Aussie one, and Smin has made a meme that supports the leak that it’s for the UK tree.

This should be right or I will be spitting. Yanks already filched my nation’s MBT, don’t want them to filch a plane of ours.

2127

Would be cool to have A-4G or K as well. Much potential in those aircrafts

Still counts enough to add if the Yak 141 gets its guns n air to airs

All Tornados recieved a flight model change

They now pull a lot more AoA and turn harder. The combat flaps can now also be deployed at higher wing sweep angles.

Their energy retention is not as good now though, but thats expected.

It feels really sluggish, is that really the engines thrust?

New r*tarded 540lb bombs with No.118 tail units on the dev server

For comparison, plain green ones are the existing slick 540s that appear unchanged. The new ones are those with the yellow HE band

Well the WT community bombs aren’t new. They were added to the GR.7 last update.

2137

Shame tbh, I did like blasting around my rate fights at 900kph and reversing people because I could hold that speed to infinity

But you can’t have it all ways. new changes felt nice, though 90% of the time on live I suspect I wouldn’t live long enough to notice (thanks Gaijin! F-14A in my BR rabge is really fun!)

2138

I find the changes make it way easier to reverse people and get on their tail

Its a much better dogfighter now in general, but you cant just zoom around keeping all of your speed like you could

I think the most notable benefit of this is the ability to jink and notch incoming missiles with far greater ease and Fireball reckons it might need buffing even further (at least at low speeds)

If we ever got BOL chaff or Phimat pods. F-14s would be a non-threat
