well, in AB, which ideally you really want engaged for most/all of a fight in an F-14. Even off Burners iirc it can be a PIA to flare.
Well, the F-111F finally got its AGM-130s except it only can carry 2x of them despite there being images of it carrying 4x. I also have a primary source that mentions it can carry 4 of them.

I noticed that the guidance type is TV/IIR/Data Link. Does this mean that the AGM-130 is a combination of the three? If not is it TV/Data link or IIR/Data link?
In addition I read that the AGM-130A received a modification upgrade where it can use IOG/GPS (in addition with TV or IR) but I’m not sure if it the F15E or F111F carried the them.
Also why isn’t there any mk83 1000 pound bombs for the f111?
And If it is historical (which it probably is) why wasn’t it used historically?

Why didn’t Gaijin end up adding the F-111C’s side pylon with Aim-9s or the missiles it could historically use?
There is loads missing on the F-111C.
And tbh they really ought to change the F-111 flight model altogether so it can actually play like an F-111…fast. Impossible to maintain any sort of speed in it. They need to reduce the speed bleed.
I think AGM-130 we have in game is accurate because the initial variants had an IR or TV seeker then eventually it was upgraded to also have GPS/INS.
In my opinion, the reason why the AGM-130 was added was because the isreal F-15E was given the Mavericks making it the best F-15E in the game. To make it where the US variant had an “advantage”, they gave it the AGM-130.
My issue mainly comes with the variant it was added. When it was first added it only had the TV seeker making it pretty much useless at long range engagements. They then changed it to an IR seeker which was great however it was limited to only be released when going high subsonic (keep in mind the F-111F’s AGM-130 doesn’t have this issue as it’s max release speed is mach 1.4) . So why would anyone take it over the Mavericks when they costed the same sp?
Still no word on the missing armaments and pylons for the F-111C?
shoulder pylons and GBU-15 will come

If you have two planes on your line-up, you can see the other parked opposite but It looks like what you see in asset viewer.

Seams we can only hope for the fb111a or f111g
