F-111-C is missing 3 ordinance types from it’s available roster.
Mk.117 conventional bombs
AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles
AGM 142 E (Popeye) SOW. These should replace the GBU 15s which were not stocked by Australia.
I’m surprised these weren’t included with the other Anti-radiation & Anti-shipping missiles.

would be interesting too have a proper aussie f111 would make me actually play it
I play the F-111C as a fighter since it’s the best Vark in the game.
Many people do like to run air to ground though…
all those missing weapons could be bug reported but i dont see the AGM-142 getting added to the F-111 bc it isnt already in the game
never played it, got unset when it got moved in front of the tornado gr1 as i didn’t want a one trick pony
Didn’t want the Tornado GR1?
Since the F-111C is not just a great fighter, thus not a “one trick pony”.
It can fight & bomb, far more effectively than many aircraft.
no i wanted the gr1 but i didn’t want the advark
Why? Doesn’t the F-111F have a way better engine?
That makes the F-111F better for bombing, not for fighting.
F-111C’s superior wings makes it hilariously better as a fighter.
Hands Mig-23MLs their hanger trip.
Interesting…
111c has 2 deg more sustained trt with 0 sweep, yet 111f has 2m/s2 more acceleration around most speeds at sl. The trt difference shrinks as the sweep goes back.
111c does beats 23ml as seen from statshark. I used to prefer the energy but maybe i would give 111c a chance after today
Most have been reported.
AGM-88 likely has been denied because Britain isnt allowed a good ARM below 12.3. Its why ALARM has been thus far denied from the Tornado GR1, Harrier GR7, Hawk 200 RDA, etc etc and it is for some reason imperative that we have lots of CAS options to use alongside our extensive 11.3 ground lineup…
AGM-142 might have too high of a range for its “intended” BR and I dont think has been added in-game yet. (Max range is something they keep using to deny weapons recently, even when they would be overall weaker than other weapons already in-game)
Harpoon is probably just the devs not remembering it exists or not being bothered to add it

F-111C/F have been more or less abandoned since addition. AFAIK, the Vulcan still shoots through the nose of both and the F-111F still has Australian avionics.
Sounds about right
Given how flare hungry 9Ls are, I sometimes wonder if the F-111C wouldn’t be better with its real life 9Ms and all those mentioned ground/sea strike weapons and a slight BR increase. But then there is that speed bleed and slow acceleration…
F-111C should have been split in to an early and a late as per my original suggestion imo, the F-111C that retired from service was an extremely different one to the one that entered service.
If the GR4 is 12.3 with just 2x Aim-9M. Then there is no chance the F-111C would only get a “slight BR Increase.” Would probably be 12.7/13.0
Yeah, this is true for a LOT of airframes and its kinda annoying at times actually
