If you go on Afghan, run 90 minutes of fuel at most.
Simple change, and you have more than enough fuel for your bomb load.
Do what Necronomica said for takeoffs as well.

Bruh. Such valuable input…

I assume OP used full load of iron and guzz to fly on afterburner to the closest red circles.
I’m glad it doesn’t work this way on this imbalanced bomber in EC anymore.
Well tbf could be worse. Could have better fm than the Mig29 like it had on the dev server lmfao
So you can’t take off in a quite heavy bird with quite heavy load in an alpine environment?
Well, yes, makes sense.
What I lament more in the F-111 (and in other aircraft of the same era, e.g. the F-C/E’s, F-§05, etc.) is that they are equipped for CCRP bomb delivery, but you have zero indication in sim about where your CCRP target is. That really has been implemented poorly for a handful of planes, making it impossible to use CCRP for them in Sim…

This is why I don’t have much experience in the F-111 and others with this issue… you can use CCRP, but not correctly (you have to either use 3rd person view before take off and hope the target is correct or use manual targeting and hope you’re flying the correct line - OR do a traditional dive bomb and just use CCRP to auto-release)
@PCPaulDPearl and @Schindibee I’ve found that using the “switch mission target” can help you find/guide you to targets and allow use of CCRP on bases and airfields only. When you have a target set, it shows the line on the sight regardless of distance so it can guide you right to a target and then allow you to drop at the best time. I know that doesn’t help much for any other targets than those, but it can help a ton if those are what you are aiming to strike.

the issue is that some planes have no marker in the hud for SIM battles. so even if you can switch target there is no way for you to know what target is selected on the map.
In Sim? Really?
Have to test that, because when it came out it didn’t have any indication of the target on the HUD.
Unless something changed it should be like that. In bomb mode for the sights it should go to bomb (auto) and show the target circle as the point and the line showing the CCRP alignment. The trick is finding the target that you want since you have no indication which it is on the map. Once you associate the target line and the base/airfield you want to hit then you should be all set.
I’ll double check next time I can get in a game.
It dependent on the aircraft having that symbology. Many do, but not all. Unless that has changed since the last major. I cant speak for the F-111 though, never flown it
I guess IRL it uses radar or data put into navigation computer. So yes, it’s poorly implemented in the game.
Interesting, would you (or @anon6512079) have a couple examples? I enjoy testing and information gathering, and I’d like to give them a try if I have one or two of the planes.
the squad vehicle A-4E early is an example.
The AJ37 and AJS37 gets a tiny dot on the target but not the line IIRC.
Ok. Sadly I don’t have those aircraft to check it out.
A-4E early able to see for everyone, because of it’s squadron vehicle
Ahh, I misunderstood him. The F threw me off. I do have the A-4E so I can check that out. Thanks.
Yeah, mistyped lol XD fixed it.
