If you have bombs on your fighter you are by definition a “strike fighter”.
I can only thing of 1 high tier fighter in game that doesn´t have bombs from the top of my head
Takes off in his jet, missiles any AI on the way to the af, dumps all his ordnance onto the airfield while dying… repeat. Over and over.
Yeah, he’s not a tourist, just a persistent zomber.

Well sim aint worth for event grind anymore since they nerfed the multiplier from 4x to like 2.3 while RB with faster games and better rewards have 2.1. Needed 10k score in one game to do 45k star iirc. So Q-5L with full napalm that nukes a module thats like 800 score per sortie. And cause we only want score we die to Gepard while diving cause they never miss unlike Rolands. Now repeat,and done. Unfortunately this isnt possible anymore and any air event is painful now.

pre rocket score nerf I would get 45k score on 3 minibases in 30 minutes… so very VERY easy.
But it was just to get it done…
Now I just… um, play the game…?
Well, I would before, but F-4 rocketing the bases was just easy and quick… but kinda lame.
Napalm a base or two and kill some players on the way back. Now your sortie score is 2000… Thats how I played the QL-5…
Or just fly the TU-4… 10 bases per flight. Only at 10.7+ are you restricted no?
Do you mean the Q-5L?
I meant the … whatever.
I couldn’t even be bothered scrolling up to check.
The 5L-Q!

Don’t know if anyone mentioned it but the update raised the contrail height to 9.3-9.5 km of altitude on basically all maps. (I think snowy maps are lower at around 5 km?)
Yep this is actually huge for long range bombers like the JH-7A. I can now climp to 9km and throw my glide bombs at 80km distance without needing to worry some random undertiered f-18 will see me half way

Are you really trying to imply that this is somewhow bad change?
And lets be real: the real power farmers will continue to farm here even in the future. For them this change is just a nuisance. Only the lowest skilled oneway suicide farmers might need to temproray find a new way to farm the points. Untill someone makes some new tutorial videos for them how to get fast and easy score in Sim.

And why do you think the multiplier was nerfed? Almost as if Sim was being abused to an insane degree.
No one cares about how Gaijin backstabbed his former customers. Many people buy F4 series fighter jets just to be able to easily obtain activity vehicles during daily battles when obtaining research and development points and Silver Lions. I contribute no less than $40 worth of items to Gaijin every month. As of the year this account was created, I have recharged 100000 Golden Eagles and 5 gift packs, with a total value of no less than $500. May I ask how much money you have contributed to Gaijin for those who want to refute me? I hope Gaijin can readjust the ITO90M air defense missile carrier vehicle in the true mode, so that it exists at least on the 13.3 compartment, because as long as the vehicle in this compartment or even higher compartments has long-range weapons with a range of more than 12 kilometers, isn’t it? For example, if the Su-25 with a 10.7 engine wants to bomb an airport, what can it use? Is it a completely inaccurate incendiary bomb? (Many people are not aware of the poor accuracy of the Soviet style CCRP.) As long as GAIJIN can treat those who silently support him well, the company’s revenue can reach a higher level
Well you are in luck! You can still make RP and SL easily with your premium F-4S. And here is a little secret a farmer like yourself probably did not know: you get even more SL if you do something else than just suicide with it!
And what comes for your rambling about your spending to the game…I really do not understand what it has to do with anything we are talking about here. But hey, last time I checked I had around 280 premium planes on my account. How many premium tanks/boats/helis I have: dunno. I do not really care since I play planes.

My personal opinion here is that not every vehicle has to be good at everything.
IRL I’d not use a Su-25 to attack a well defended airfield. That’s not it’s role. So why should I do so in the game?
I really try to use all the vehicles I use in the role for which they were designed, and chose aircraft (and maps/matches) depending on what I feel like doing: Mud moving and tank busting I’ll do in the Warthog, for going after bases I have many options like Tornado, Su-22, AMX, even Harriers,… If I want to fight enemy aircraft I might use a Tiger or a Viggen. So many roles, so many possibilities.
And there’s also multirole stuff, especially higher up, where you can switch roles even in flight.
What I really don’t do - and never recommend - is to use an aircraft in a role it’s completely not designed for, and I struggle with people who adamantly for example try to use A-7’s as fighters.
Use the best tool available for the job you want to do.
Otherwise it may well get frustrating.
