Photoflash flares to be used with the recce pack
photoflash? whats, oh i got it. Thats actually quite funny.
Iirc the Eyetie F-104 load you refer to is one with a Vulcan and Aspides. It used to be doable but you’re not able to anymore because the illuminator needed for the Aspides cannot be fitted with the gun (for whatever reason)

im quite liking the look of them side skirts tbh. How much armour u think gaijin’ll give us for em? 10mm ke and 150mm chemical.

clearly they’re just aluminium panels with nothing inside them. 4mm of CE and -50mm of KE.

I could be misremembering but wasnt the Bucc the only plane with the ability to see the CCIP reticle when pulling up and away from targets for like, ever, until gaijin changed it for all CCIP to be able to do that?
I thought it was because they wanted to give at least some kind of toss bomb effect for the Buccaneers due to CCRP mechanics not exactly being the best in WT?
If they lose CCIP, the S.1 becomes a bullpup only plane and the S.2 will be in a very rough place really, I would hope a BR reduction with it but doubt.
Its correct, non of the Buccs appear to have any CCIP, all attacks are either CCRP or dive attacks without the use of any sensors.
But we can mitigate that with AtG radar locking CCRP onto enemy ground targets, right? RIGHT?

Ground targets specifically no, but points set on the ground sure.
:(
This is a full sentence.
Also, given up trying to find any hard info on this modification/equipment loadout for the strikemaster, least the stuff I can get hold of doesnt really mention any of it.
GL to anyone else who still tries though.
From the reply on the report, gaijin might be working on a new system so 1 can hope for a better CCRP maybe?
so if its correct, can we finally see a reason why the buc is sat at 9.3 with no air spawn? If its not going to have ccip anymore then 9.0 would actually allow it to do, i dont know, something. Plus, its also going to make the s2 basically usless in cas role as you can no longer bomb with accuracy as using ccrp is almost worthless due to how bad it is.

Yeah, the lack of CCIP will make bombing with it extremely hard in GRB, in air RB it can still work vs bases though a bit harder to do.
SAM systems and radar SPAA will have a field day against them.
