Cruise missiles would not be OP at all. If they were GPS guided, then any tanks in GRB would just need to move.
We need more mechanics for aircraft. Way too many mechanics keep getting denied because they are either “too OP” for ground modes or “won’t be of any use in ground modes”
People do play aircraft outside of ground modes. It’s a bit like saying “No tanks can’t get spall liners. They would be no use for planes as they don’t have spall liners”
The relatively old CBU-87 has an area of effect of 120x240 m. Your average high tier aircraft can carry a dozen of them. Do the math.
AFAIK Gaijin has a policy of not restricting any ordinance to specific game mode.
LOL. To twist your own point, its perfectly fair and balanced that a bomber can ripple off some cruise missiles from spawn and call it a day in ARB?
The point being is that WT asitisrightnow, isn’t set up to handle weapons this powerful.
Oh, and to just completely ruin your point, unless it is an Anti-Tank Cluster Bomb, your not going to do much, maybe take out tracks and barrel, but what does that matter anyway. ATCB’s could be added, although, as stated, is most definitely OP, in its range or area, so for example a large group of enemies in a mediocrely sized area could be taken out by one 12k lbs bomb. Cluster bombs (HE) would be useful against open tops and light light vehicles like the Btr-80, BMP’s, and other “ultralight” IFV’s and Tanks. As for cruise missiles, that’s kind of their point, and purpose, take out enemies without risking your mens lives.
CBUs are actually the preferred anti tank weapon for the Tornados. Would be the perfect buff for the Tornado WTD61 and a really interesting addition for the others as well. Many aircraft would greatly benefit from CBUs.
Considering they require launch conditions that would make them semi-vulnerable to SPAA (far more vulnerable than GBUs) they won’t be any more OP than large conventional bombs
Despite being in Australian Service? In Australia?
Well in that case, no AV-8B+ for the US then, the Harrier is a British Aircraft.
AV-8A and AV-8C need to be moved to the British TT as they are British export aircraft, and thus not american.
B-57 is based upon the British Canberra, so does that make it British?
If ALL export vehicles go to the nation that built them. Then Hunter F58 needs to be moved to UK as well. But nope it didnt go there. it went to… Germany
I meant designed in Australia. The other US made vehicle in Australian service is in the US tech tree. Anyways, the harrier was used by the USA since it was a brand new design, and enough upgrades and differences between the British and American harrier to justify it. Idk why tf there is an AV-8B+ in Italy but no USA though. Why can’t 1 decent American jet design stay in the American tree. I don’t like copy paste, and there’s no need for an f111 in the British tree
If you dont like C&P maybe the US shouldnt export so much. Deal with, MANY nations will use and will continue to use US vehicles.
Germany, Sweden and Britain will likely get F-18s at some point.
Japan will likely get another F-15, so will probably Israel.
China will probably get at least 1 more F-16, probably a load of F-16s actually
Italy will get another F-16 probably, maybe even the Hungarian one.
many nations will continue to get C&Ps of US vehicles in service to other countries. that is what happens when you export everything and anything.
Britain nearly purchased F-14s, F-117s, F-111s and F-22s. and did buy F-35s. US vehicles will continue to appear everyone. You need to share, do you really want 2 identical aircraft in a single TT
Because you had 8 aircraft in 2023. Including several of the most OP aircraft for both A2A and A2G. you didnt need it. Italy meanwhile had 2 aircraft in 2023. One of which being the Av-8B+ and the F-16 still has no upgrades at all. meaning they are underperforming hard at top tier currently
Japan already has the best f15, I hope Israel doesn’t get another because it’s pure copy paste. China should not because they will have later j-11 and other fighters coming up
Sweden has Finalnd as a Sub-TT and FInland operate the F-18. With only 3 models of the Gripen remaining (1 coming in March) They dont have a lot left for top tier. F-18 is 100% expecting to pad their tree and give them some variety.
Britain and Germany, yes, we hope sooner rather than later.
If its a LOT later. Then what we have wont last. Germany especially with only the F4F-ICE lasting them until Typhoon. If Typhoon keeps getting delayed (and after the hate from the Gripen for several nations, including the US) I think it could be delayed significantly. At which point both nations will need something else, especially if they decide to leave AMRAAM off the Gripen C for Britain. F-18 from the Swiss for Germany and CF-18 from Canada for Britain would be an ideal candidate as a stop-gap.
CF-18 in perticular for Britain, as Britain already has several Canadian vehicles in our tree like the ADATS, and some like the LAV would be ideal as a top tier IFV. Combine with a Canadian Leopard and you could create a solid Canadian top tier line up
