What could be an interesting aspect would be an active SEAD role for aircraft with suitable stand off-weapons higher up.

I mean glide bombs, kh38 etc can already do that
Gps bombs can be tjrown far as well
Just tried it out with Buccaneer and AJ.168: Works ok, but it’s recommended to bring Pave Spike as well to spot the SAM’s from farther away.
Just now on Winter Stalingrad, a Su-24 destroyed 7 ITOs in one sortie using FAB UMPKs. The only difference from zombie bombers with rockets is that this kind of zombie with glide bombs earns more points, lol. Well, and it’s a bit more fun too.

Bro likes to have SLM at 1.0
When can my mate know the sim af have components, and know 12km is the absolute max range without any accuracy with dumb bombs tossed at 10km, 1mach
And our part grinding…
But this is fun indeed I used tornado for a few runs lol thanks to the gps gliders
yet… what about pvp in small maps? people can run away from mid map or abuse the edge of this 0 warning AA
well i just toss bombed using a harrier at 8km alt with no risk of dying around 15km from air field using dumb bombs… if a harruer t10 can do it anyone can.
i used @Morvran ccrp guide its actually amazing
Only minor “but…” i’ll chuck in there, the Harrier T10 has an amazing HUD for it.
Even Something half decent like the Tonka… is missing the necessary HUD for any kind of moderate long range accuracy, Lofting is a bit of a bodge job with the current CCRP ingame

true… a lot of huds ccrp is broken or is even missing.
Yep… God damn they need to overhaul CCRP, more now than ever
wait do we have side slip compensation ingame?
I have no idea what that even is :D
i just use automatic leveling
No you really don’t.

I don’t see what you have to complain about, at worst the damage the af. At best, you get a free kill from them.
Seems like a win win.
I am pretty curious to see these SAM in action on small maps, like those ones we have with mixed nations. Guess nobody will reach the middle of the map,

Why not? Actually, you could try destroying the convoys on Sinai that are going underground.
What I immediately thought upon seeing this post is how airfield spotting won’t be possible any more at ItO 90M BRs. I used to fly recon at the start of SB matches, going at 5km to avoid enemy SPAA, and spotting the airfields. Now that is apparently impossible. It basically makes airfields completely invisible on the map, which is laughably unrealistic at BRs corresponding to the satellite era. Not to mention making for terrible gameplay, because Sim already comes with harder situational awareness.

I don’t know if it’s still like that, but when you choose an aircraft and press to spawn all enemy af’s become visible on the map for an instant.

Good luck with that. Locking them doesn’t usually work when they’re under the ground. And mostly doesn’t do damage, best bet is ground assaults, but it is only good if your in the correct aircraft.
I know, it was irony. There’s also that bomber interception event on that Sinai, which I couldn’t complete because my 111 hit its structural speed limit. I don’t remember if that event was like that before the patch.
