Gib B-2 or F-117
I mean… you could just play microsoft flight simulator at that point and it would be the same thing. Who the hell is catching you in that?
I don’t think gaijin’s flight model could handle this thing in any shape or form.
I doubt X-plane can handle it, and FAR definitely cannot.
Wake riding is very far from anything conventional planes do.
None the less, I love that thing.
Not needed, lol.
I love hitting a great shot and having “hit” return from it. This does not need to be made worse.

Never happening, fighter players crippled bombers forever

Despite i always liked the the XB-70 i won’t bet any money on an upcoming implementation as wt is imho not ready for such aircraft.
A few things to think about:
- On a 128x128 km map this plane hits every 3 minutes a map border
- As long as there is no MiG 25 - no fighter has a chance to intercept it
- Imho the US & Iranian F-14 (thx to Phoenix) might be the only threat
- As the bomber role was cancelled - we just talk about a high speed testbed
- That means no bombs or defensive ECMs - gaijin has to guess
- The raw performance would ensure a very high BR
- High BR with 1960s / early 70s tech vs 2000s tech?
- Due to the very low rip speed you can’t land = U have to run
- In a worst case scenario every Air RB match would last 25 minutes
- Gaijin is neither interested in bomber gameplay nor in long matches
Have a good one!
Even as this is tagged as “Arcade” the underlying topic (= new aircraft) affects all modes, so my response has to be seen as general feedback and not Arcade specific.
Actually the original two were designed with a 20,000 lb payload:
i think B-1 Lancer would be cool
That doesn’t change anything as the payload (in your link) specifically refers to a nuclear payload - as long as there is no nuclear game play in wt gaijin still has to guess regarding not even considered conventional bombs as available nuclear weapons were extremely heavy.
If you look at the actual weight of high performance atomic / fission bombs those days the 20,000 lbs payload makes sense as some of them had a weight of ~ 19,000 lbs.
Even acknowledging the much lower weight of later contemporary nuclear bombs like the B 61 - the planed layout with 11-14 nuclear bombs might give you an indicator that there is a difference between max payload and usable space in bomb bays. Best example is the B-52 - there was zero problem to increase the conventional payload with external racks.
CU in Valhalla!
Thanks you too 😁👍
I still remember bomber spam when they were buffed. It was not fun at all and games ended very quickly. Using boosters then sucked.
Should really be using this thread Next patch and beyond wishlist(Everything except Tech Trees)
