It would be nice if they move the F-111F to the fighter line, and add the F/B-111A to the bomber line after adding more bombers. Especially since to my knowledge it is only the F/B-111A with both extended wing length, wing reinforcement and undercarraige reinforcement for the max payload of 50x750lb bombs.

This was incorrectly shown as a payload to the F-111A in the dev server when it was announced, and made alot of bomber players who did not know it would not be getting that payload angry as to having it’s payload “magically” restricted from what was shown.

Again the F-111A never carried that as shown ingame, but the F/B-111A certainly did.

Why?

Totally agree.
I think the best spot for indian sub tree is Israel tree.India is Israel’s largest client for military equipment sales.Israel really need a sub tree while it don’t have much choice.And Israel tree is empty enough for that many vehicles from India.

What you said is in no way related to the J-10, complaining about bans is a good way to get banned here as well.

The highest BR bomber they can add is the B-1 Lancer for ~10.3.
B-52 would be ~8.3 for air RB, lower if it’s a later GBU-only version.

191

The Tu-4 is 8.0

Don’t you just love how messed up the system is where that’s pretty much the only BR where the B-52 would be viable

Man I love random tangents that are off topic

Gaijin when strategic bombers

192

i think the B1 is the only feasible one unless they add the b52j which would really be something

So I was taking a look at the plane yesterday and noticed it can only carry ordnance on the inner pylons and no dumb rockets.

Why is the A-10C able to carry more payload than this plane? I don’t understand.

Is that true to IRL, or was it not added to prevent farming?

One would expect that an improved version of a plane would have AT LEAST the same ordnance options.

194

No it’s not true. The C should carry the same bomb load as the A plus all the new bombs like gbu15 and aim9M not L. This plane is a mess, also has wrong radar.

195

Because the F-111F is the Fighter variant of the F-111A.
The F-111 that should be in the bomber line (even though the F-111A should be in the strike fighter line) is the F/B-111A. Which is the specific bomber variant made with the wing reinforcement and extensions which we see ingame with the F-111C, and it was also given reinforced landing gear and slightly more powerful engines for the maximum payload of 50x750lbs (this was the payload shown incorrectly in the dev server on the F-111A).

196

Indeed they certainly can and I certainly hope they do for us Bomber Main players.

197

Probably because the basic Su-24 would be pretty useless.

198

are you just forgetting about my vulcan, said jet being able to carry 9gs, flares and martels…

199

Does that mean the ausy f111 is still missing quite a bit of ordinance?

200

I was just talking about us bombers I’m sure other nation can have strat bombers.

Personally I hope only France US UK and Russia get them since the were the only users of strat bombers afaik, and it gives a reason to research their trees over something else

201

Potentially. I am not sure fully but it looks like the wings of the F-111C can still carry the extra 4 pylons that are fixed. But I cannot find a single source that says in construction the hardpoints were removed and never used again, or maybe if they still were active.

202

Im just confused why, with pictures, they havent given us the extra hard points. The american one has them at the same br so it wouldnt even contribute an increase in br?

203

How is the F111C at the same BR as the F, when it worse in every. Single. Way.
