Makes sense

Where do you think the B1 and B2 should sit at?

F-117 at 8.7

B-1 I think could be 11.7 or perhaps 11.3 if added right now since it would most likely play the same as the F-111 but with no air-to-air missiles and no gun. Its main advantages are its speed and bomb load and advance air-to-ground weapons.

The B-2 would be like I said above just the F-117 but with enough bombs to level the map and could potentially have ECM. It has no countermeasures, slow speed, and only have air-to-ground weapons like guided bombs and AGM’s, it’s only current advantage would be it’s stealth capabilities which should be better than the F-117 and be more useful since you could see some aircraft with useable radars and radar weapons. I think it could be around 9.0-9.7. It should be higher than the F-117 given the expanded loadout but at this BR it will he exceptionally vulnerable to the all aspect missiles often seen at this BR from Su-25’s and A-10A’s.

Also just to add as well if added I think the B-52 would most likely be much lower, since like the B-2 it’s very slow compared to other aircraft and it lacks offensive air-to-air armament it could be around 10.0. It could be a bit higher than the B-2 given that it does have traditional countermeasures and depending on the variant a tail gun for self defence.

Now this would just be looked at the BR for air battles. Like the F-117, in ground battles the BR’s would most definitely be around 11.0-12.0 given just the staggering amount of bombs and AGM’s they could bring.

It’s only armament is 2 bombs and it’s “stealth” doesn’t work in warthunder like the Comanche does

26

10.0-10.7 max

27

I was thinking the B-52 could be 9.0-10.0 after the b-57. And yeah the br’s would be drastically different in ground than in air. Maybe they could folder the f111’s and put the B1 before or after them. B2 is kind of tricky on where to place

28

I would like to see the Super Tomcat (F14D). Even longer range radar, IRST and support for a future ECM update. Plus we all know the community has been asking for it for years.
