it needs this missile

had that issue as well when shooting directly rear aspect
since they are trying to hit some specific module in the bombers and then just miss
but when they hit they one shot the bombers in the test drive
i think the difference in damage between the Aim-54 and AGM-65 is due to the Maverick having a contact fuze

Even so, the Phoenix doesn’t struggle at shooting anything else down (or any of the other missiles when getting a hit on such an easy target). These bombers’ structural strength is way overtuned.
moreso missile damage is undertuned to compensate for how weak all previous update planes are. all planes need a damage model buff, and missiles need proper warheads (like continuous rod, for example) instead of just blast fragmentation.
These missiles only have issues with fictionally buffed bombers. Everything else is destroyed as expected.
I agree that missiles should easily kill the new bombers. however, I do not believe the new bombers are “fictionally buffed”, only that the way missiles do damage right now in game is incorrect, and that all planes need a damage model buff.

It’s not just missiles. I was testing how a 75mm cannon with HE shells would do. Even a direct hit to a wing fuel tank caused no fire and relatively little structural damage. He could keep flying effortlessly.
Works just fine on every other plane. It’s a bomber issue.
i think the F102A is fine AIM-4 super falcons are barely usuable as is imagine trying to with even less pull it would be useless there would be no reason to take them
considering if it had a worse kit it cant go lower than 9.0
yea no gun pod is gona be really rough for the F-102 cuz I play the F106 a lot and im telling you that 80% of my kills are with my guns, the missiles are very hard to use cuz the motor on it is trash and it’s not hard to dodge
Next up: F-107

the early AIM-4s have better performance in the speed department, meaning they could actually catch planes more easily

didnt you know that the Aim-4 used quantum technology to phase through the bay doors

Please just this one time not as much grime on it as the F106
At last! Waited a long time for the 102. I’m so glad to see her finally being implemented into War Thunder. And, yeah, I’m aware of the early AIM-4 Falcon variants’ record, but I’d still like to see 'em implemented for the sake of historical accuracy.
Also, I’d sure LOVE to see more Century Series variants implemented into the U.S. Aviation tree at some point. Like the F-100F (Wild Weasel I), F-101A, F-101B, F-104B, F-104D, F-105B, F-105D (Thunderstick II), F-105F (Wild Weasel III), F-105G, F-106A (Early), or F-106B.
I especially want more Thuds. :3

It unfortunately had no missiles, so 9.3 at best
Which is covered by F-101, a serial production jet.
That should be the event vehicle instead of F-106 or F11F
Oh, man. Getting the F-107 prototype would be amazing.
