Cluster Bombs in Air Battles!

Yak-9B has a weird bombay control, it can’t open it and it just drop bombs with a delay like if you’ve had a bomb trolley from a dive bomber. No idea why it does that.

I hate that this is unfortunately true.

Sooooooooo… many aircraft could get really good new lease on life in-game with CBUs, I just hope they dont cherry pick

How is Gaijin going to introduce submunition dispensers without easily the most iconic of all?

I worry it is going to mostly be relegated to rank VIII and IX aircraft, rather than the plethora of rank VI and VII aircraft that could carry them and probably make better use of them in Nuclear Escalation than top rank aircraft.

I don’t expect cluster bombs to be more effective than LO guided bombs like the GBU-39 and JSOW, for instance.

Yeah, my main hope is seeing them on the Strikemaster and hawk t.1a 1 day for fun use in air RB (if not grb) for clearing lines of tanks etc. Would be a nice difference to “go bomb the bases”.

We will know when if/when they add them lol

My assumption is that they would work like rocket pods, but with bomblets instead of rockets

They 100% will cherry-pick

They always do

Yeah… Probably.

and its not that surprising really.

Brimstone replaced BL755 in RAF service. Wouldnt be surprised if to a certain degree weapons like GBU-53 did the same the americans (though they didnt retire them completely) and there is a reason for it.

But yeah. its the Rank VI and VII aircraft that really really need them

Yup… Still waiting on Napalm to be added to everything
