Not my fault that they are terrible. The only thing they’re good for is bombing so you can bypass other Phantoms
you are wrong and i wont elaborate
Because you know I’m right. Phantoms are bad, m’kay
Have you considered playing professionally instead of sweating in Pubs
one must feel like a phantom to properly play a phantom
edit: nvm got another one

Never had an issue persoanlly. Heck. I reliably get a base in the GR4 at 12.3.
Actually had a 5 base match earlier today
Jsut for the sake of good data. Tornado Gr1 (the weakest of the 11.3/11.7 Tornado IDS) 1x Base kill, nearly got a gun kill on an F-5E and I should have gotten a maneuver kill (he crashed trying to dogfight me) against an F-104S. So… Its fine at the moment. Sure ARB isnt very good strike aircraft gameplay, but playable
Time zones is the reason why. Pacific time zone players love to bomb.
THEN IT IS NOT THE PLANE’S PROBLEM BUT THE PLAYERS’ PROBLEM.
Isn’t it?

I play late in the evening quite often (UK Time), usually with US servers selected for faster queues. I dont really find much of a difference. I may not get base 1 or 2 on the left, but usually get one of the two on the right and the Tornado is no longer an overladen cargo plane. It can fight okay enough to throw people off.
My recommended loadout.
2x Aim-9Ls
2x BOZ
5x Mk13 high drag or 6x Mk83 high drag
I personally like 30 mins internal + fuel tanks, because in a pinch, I can ditch them for an immediate FM boost, but there is an argument to be made for 45-50 mins internal without the extra drag (with fuel dumping coming, that then becomes even more optimal)

Ironic coming from the guy who gained fame on this forum FOR USING FIGHTERS TO BASE BOMB

That and they have more people to test their cheats on.
I wonder how many bomb runs itd take to kill a base in a low tier zero now
Thank god someone has actually put an idea forward, this is exactly what I think as well. Gaijin needs to DISINSENTIVISE people from bombing in pure fighters/intercepters. Will this solve the problem entirely? No. But it will change how aircraft are used, like when rockets were fixed/nerfed.
Nah I actually quite like getting chase by 20 missle behind me and doge fighting while with my bombs to their. Protecting my bombs = Kill enemy who try to kill me. Shooting the missle at last second always grant me a kill however, Am gonna stop this strategy when reaching top tier.
Ppl still rocket bases now?
It was extreamly nerfed and its much better to use normal bombs now
I heard only phantoms with Zuni rockets could.
But I also heard it costs double the weight of 12 x 500lb
Then it might be quadruple the weight of Napalm, maybe?
Old rocketing with FFAR/SNEB are dead, as you know

I only use the J-7D for A2A combat so…
Yep, bombing bases with rockets has been nerfed to 6 feet underground. Now it’s either huge loads of small bombs or go with Napalm
