any news for outter pylons?

There is some conflict with this. It’s suspected it was an early A converted to C, but not reflective of the standard C model. Right now the Devs are trying to find out more information.

no agm 65 ,why not provide the F-111C with the AGM-142E?It can only carry 3,which is balanced compared with F-111F’s 6AGM-65d with additional 2GBU15
Is there any information on whether the F-111 radar can track moving ground targets?
Darn and Ger is stuck with the Tornado, which is able to carry one (!) GBU-24 and two Sidewinders. The loadout differences are always astonishing between US and other planes.

all of the F111C’s converted from F111A’s have the F111B wing just like the F111C. it would make little sense that only the converted ones could carry this as they all share the same wing. the likely explanation is that the RAAF saw little use in the extra pylons are rarely used them
the 3 converted From F111A’s were serials A8-109, A8-112 and A8-113.
If you need the extra info i can case down some old contacts in the RAAF but all i will get is verbal conformation and no official documents(maybe)
EDIT: the below picture is supposedly of A8-146 a production F-111C - i can ask at the local RSL as they have the last remaining(above ground) parts on display there

the most i know is terrain following radar
AN/APQ-169 is Attack radar.
AN/APQ-146 is TFR.
Does anyone have information about the AN/ALR-2002 RWR and its capabilities? For a 1990s+ RWR system it seems odd that it essentially performs the exact same as the AN/APS-109 found on the F-111A.
Furthermore, shouldn’t the F-111F have the AN/ALR-62I anyway, as the ALR-2002 was an Australian made RWR (afaik only fitted to their own aircraft). Both RWRs are fairly modern systems year wise, and given even older (US) systems are more capable, I doubt that the current implementation is anywhere near correct.
AN/ALR-62I:
Spoiler
from Northrop Grumman: The Radar Warning Story
As you can see, the RWR display at least is that of the F-111 type.
Said to have 0.5-18 GHz detection (C-J band).
If anyone has good sources for ALR-62I for the F-111F and sources on the ALR-2002, I would love to hear about.

F-111F should have ALR-62(V)7, but I don’t know anything about it (coverage)
The F-111C should also have ALR-62, I’ve found multiple documents and magazines talking about ALR-2002 however only stating that it was meant to be upgraded, but I haven’t found any actual confirmation if it was done.

There is only few information about ALR-2002.
According to some article it cover C to J band and deals 15 emitters.
I reported issue about this

here is a picture of A8-146, you can clearly see the serial and it is a production C model using all 8 pylons. is there an open issue with this i’ll be happy to add it

It is highly unlikely to be 12.7/13.0, furthermore I think that 12.0/12.3 is more indicative of its flight characteristics and payload capability.
Its a shame that it was not given AGM-130,142 to complement its capabilities, as I have said, this patch was rushed and the F-111Fs implementation was poorly thought out. The best strike aircraft the USAF ever fielded prior to the F-15E and its not getting its full complement of armaments.
So if F-14A only had AIM-9Ms it would only be 12.0/12.3? Interesting…
F-111F’s implementation was well thought out and is the best strike aircraft USA has for the BR it is.
- The F-14A is 12.3 RIGHT NOW
- The F-14A has the FM of a fighter, the F-111F does not, it will shed its speed from M1.3 to 700kph if you make a single full deflection 180.
- And IF the F-14B got AIM-9Ms (which is possible at some point) it will likely only go up to 13.0
Why is this you in every conversation?
You have, almost universally, the worst takes, made all the more insufferable because you are in every damn thread on the forums. Touch grass lmao XD

F-111F is 95% of an F-14A in flight performance, proven on the dev server.
F-14A also has AIM-7s that make it 12.3.
Not sure why you claim facts are the worst.
Keep claiming the War Thunder playerbase is your enemy, all you do is prove us all correct.
You: “F-111F and F-14A have trash airframes.”
Also you: “Everyone that disagrees are my enemy. All the ten-thousands of players that disagree with that take.”
You can fight me in your F-4E after I get my F-111F.
You’ll lose as my friend did, and he had fuel weight advantage.
Friend that got 4 frags in his unspaded F-111F:
How painful / frustrating is the F-111C’s stock grind in Air RB?
I’m halfway through researching the F-111C. I’m beginning to dread the prospect of constantly dodging BVR missiles (that don’t seem care about terrain masking) flying to and from the shoebox-sized target areas, hoping to end the match with at least a handful of RP.
Start making paths between you and the source radar rather than only being defensive when you’re launched on.
