oh i know why i cant be bothered putting in a bug report after seeing the challenger 2 stuff from a few months ago where they called out some community members and said they were wrong despite all evidence pointing to that not being the case

nothing new with snail. If I get the chance i’ll try dig some bits up
Sometimes its better to be safe and not introduce something than have it have to be taken away later. That and again, dev blogs are work in progress. Everything within them is subject to change. Not all of the content shown may be fully complete too.

I get what you are saying but does the F111C warrant the same BR as the F111F? its significantly worse in every metric
So sad we can’t just reverse the evidence were doss it say it only had 4 or at most 7 hardpoints (wen counting missiles and gun pod)?
Hmm?
F-111C has 240 countermeasures, 4x 9Ls, larger wings, and slightly weaker engines.
It’s not significantly worse than F-111F. It’s marginally worse at best.
Which is modeled in War Thunder, and the bug report is still in an acknowledged state.
The F-111F has 180cms
1000KGF worse

Yes.
Also that larger wingspan helps the weaker engines in the current flight model.
vs 180 and 60 of them being Large Caliber essentially equal
Vs 6 but ontop of that the 111F can carry full bomb load and have missiles for defence
Yep for that sweet low speed turning i guess
i think a ~3000kgf total difference isnt slightly.
as for weaponry the 111F has a larger bomb load, better standoff for ground battles.
at low speeds? if you are saying that it goes faster, accelerates faster or performs “better” due to larger wings gaijin have done a horrible job at modeling it. the larger wings should improve low speed turning and lift BUT cause more drag
There are numerous pictures of it having 9Ms on those pylons. Worse still there are numerous more bug reports showing how the implementation of the F-111C/F is still missing numerous armaments.
This patch is incredibly rushed tbh
AIM-9M is nothing to do with any reports or photos. We knew ahead of time it could use AIM-9M. However missile selection is a balancing factor.
It’s intentional currently for it to not have AIM-9M.

Why would you want a 12.7/13.0 F-111C/F to begin with?
60 large + 120 normal
Tbh if it had been an early service life version with 9Bs I’d still have been super stoked to have a C in game lol.
It doesn’t even make sense why they have different amounts of CMs, they both have the same dispensers and same visual model…
That’s just Gaijin being straight up lazy. Nothing new.
Can you explain why the F111C is missing AGM65D/GBU15V2B and 2 extra rounds of AIM9L but is still at the same 11.7 as the F111F?
Does the development team think that more distractions = more horsepower engine /6xAGM65D/4xgbu15v2b?
AGM-65 was never used by the C. The other two matters (shoulder pylon and GBU-15) are under investigation.
