The only one that is fine to base bomb in is the BN, but that’s 9.7 and (imo) it’s meh at best. It’s not fast enough to outrun mig-21s, F-104s, or the enemy team, and it doesn’t have the flight performance to fight enemies well. It also lacks flares and missiles too.
It’s worse when it’s a J-7D, which can’t even kill a base on its own, while it also sacrifices half its missile loadout to do so.
tbf it makes sense from an external pov, we as humans prefer to do something as an option rather than being forced into it. Either way people who bomb in the 23s are beyond saving
If it says “MiG-23” alongside “Fighter” then its horrid but the BN and 27s get passes as they are dedicated strike aircraft, and the BN gets screwed over
for the BN, its a shitty export, and thats it sole purpose from the russians, also laying the groundwork for the MiG-27 program (very interesting history you should watch up on if interested)
other than that; literally fighters that bomb: this
MiG-27 is only good in maps with airspawn, and there still its iffy
brains smoother than a newborn’s skin
Also, I believe the GDR pilots nicknamed it (23BN) “Arschschlepper” because how it would ‘drag its ass’ down the runway because the landing gear wasnt used to the heavy weight of being loaded down with extra weapons and bombs.
im using that from now on, wonder if that goes for people in the ML with bombs? though if the plane isnt dragging the human likely is
indeed, usually only napalms on the belly was it, the BN, had tail mounted bombs like the 27 did
thats something I honestly never knew about, what an odd placement
Mix of genius and (insert choice slag word for mentals here)
probably an Idea thought up and designed on a napkin during a joint drunkfest between Mikhael and Hans
He say empty space no useful, I make empty space no more
empty space is just wasted potential
Forgot to mention they should just remove napalm from fighters, yes or no?
Remove it on pylons that can also have missiles on them.
There are multiple fixes to this problem, with some being better than the others.
Completely.
