F-111C & F: When Pigs Fly!

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.

Sea Harrier FA2 is 11.7 in ground with 4x AMRAAM

The thing is, we’re not even getting an early and late model except for the US. There is a single F-111C and single Su-24.
Additionally, these skipped models would not be copy-paste. You’re looking at around a full 1.0 BR or more between the two- it’d be like calling the Leopard 2A7 a copy-paste of the 2A4, or the F-4J a copy-paste of the F-4C.
As for them being event vehicles or premiums, that’s something I’d very vocally oppose. Premium/event/squadron vehicles ought to be for export vehicles like the Su-24MK, prototypes like the F-111K, or more unusual/nonstandard vehicles like the F-111D. NOT the main production models simply because Gaijin can’t be bothered to add them.
And Gaijin has a terrible track record for adding vehicles after they’re no longer the top model! Look at the F-4D, MiG-21M, MiG-17F, or F-4F ICE LA. Sure, sometimes these aircraft are added, like the Lim-5P. But that was 7 years late, and I don’t want to have to wait until 2031 for a simple Su-24!

Not the picture, the text under it.

ive flown teh A and F on the dev server, the F-111F actually has enough engine power to keep its speed high enough to turn very well, unlike the A where it stalls after a 180, the engine difference alone is a night and day difference,

highly, they are the largest upgrade compared to the 111A, and it really does show in its performance

The f-111 C was the only one made for Australian air force, The F-111 D had just an early digital cockpit and better engines, outside that its the standard f-111A. It was plagued with issues and for the most part, but could fire SAHR missiles. It really was a hanger queen as it sat for almost all of its life due to technical issues. To me that would be a good event vehicle, not really woth a TT. The prototype K again would be cool to see it as an event or BP vehicle, since it was a prototype. The E variant was only a minimal change again not worth having the E then the F.

I dont know enough about the su to talk about that, but they have to weigh the cost of putting into the game with what they will get out of it. If they spend time and money to and every single variant and no one plays them except to get to the newer one than thats not a good return on investment.

the D could be a solid US sqyad vehicle but there are other jets id like in that role

As much to do with Britain as it does Russia: Never used in service.
