F-111C & F: When Pigs Fly!

Womp womp then, time to go cry ig

Lol yeah the blog was weirdly concerned with Indian flankers and R-73s

Did they give the 111F 240cm in the dev server update?

BR is irrelevant in Ground SB matches. Its armament and flight performance characteristics mean it will only be available in the 11_2 GSB lineup.

At that point wouldn’t you just hand it the AGM-69 SRAM?

I mean how could they not be. It was overhyped as the best dogfighting missile in the world and that with HMD any western aircraft was no match, and the days of longer dogfights were over the second it was off the rail. (Reality was not exactly like that tho lol)

But leave it to the Israelis to see their enemies get something cool, then make something even cooler.

Like man Israel was so based for this
Thrust Vectoring, wat that? Add more control surfaces instead raahhhhhh!!!

I don’t think so. Don’t think we’ve ever used them.

Found an article mentioning they were fitted to the f18

“This has also been mounted on an RAAFF-18 for form and fit trials.”

But it doesn’t seem like they were ever used. The same article mentions aim9 X was potential consideration and considering we use those now I’m guessing that was the extent of things.

Bro that is a NUCLEAR MISSILE.

Pls pretty please gaijin 🥺🙏

Good thing i didnt mention ARB.

It is going to face 13.7 fighters whether it has 9Ls or 9Ms. You tell me which one gives it the best defensive options.

Good thing i didnt mention GRB.

My only interest in these aircraft is as an option for GSB. Giving it 9Ms gives it the best performance possible there. It is not going to be in the 10_2 bracket regardless of 9Ls or 9Ms. 11_2 is going to have the best fighters ingame for the rest of time, and is going 5o be the only place to play it in GSB.

Great example of great minds thinking alike

No it won’t.
11.7 means a maximum of 4 12.7 players in a ground RB match.
I’ve seen exactly 1 12.7 match when playing 11.7 recently, and their 12.7 didn’t spawn their aircraft.

That may be the case for the F-111F, but the F-111C was capable of carrying AIM-9L/M on stations 3A and 6A:

I’m not talking about, nor do I care about fwiw, GRB

How many ways do i need to spell GSB GROUND SIM BATTLES for you to understand, it will always face end of line fighters there, in 11_2 lineup.

Its also strange because the fit checks for 9L/Ms show them being used on those stations anyway.

Ground RB has the same 4 player limitation as air RB. F-111F is stronger at 11.7 than at 12.3 GRB with 9Ms.
As for ground sim… all suffer there regardless if they 9Ms or 9Ls.

And before you claim “Oh, it wouldn’t be 12.3 based on 9Ms.”
Harrier GR7 is 12.0 in GRB.

Gaijin: here is the different variants of the aircraft to enjoy

Community: WHY COPY PASTE SO LAZY!! YOU ARE JUST DOING THIS TO MAKE THE GRIND LONGER TO GET PEOPLE TO BUY GE TO SKIP THEM!!!

Gaijin: Here is the early and late variants of the plane.

Community: WHY ARE YOU SKIPPING EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN!!! WHY CANT WE GET ALL THE VARIANTS!!! STOP NOT GIVING US ALL THE VARIANTS.

Gaijin:
927hu4

Also they could bring the other variants out for event vehicles, or a squad vehicle later on. just because they are not added now, doesn’t mean they wont be added in the future.

Additional source for you.

For sim that’s hard cause the likelihood of a target seeing the missile launch in sim, especially ground sim, is almost none.
And 9L and 9M if a sim player doesn’t notice the launch are going to do the same thing.

Imagine that upgrade went through.

Ty for help fix stuff

Thats not what i asked. Lets try again.

Which is the better defensive missile:

A.) AIM-9L
B.) AIM-9M

The key word is defensive, meaning the target already knows you are there. But even without that qualifier you really want to say its just as easy see nothing as a giant smoke plume?

You can continue beating around the bush and looking like a dumbass if you want, or you can answer the question.
