Seeing it’s armament and top speed, I’d see 7.0 - 7.7 being a fair br.
You can’t put a Cold War 80s jet with early Cold War/WW2 planes. Would look silly.
You literally can, and it’s already a thing.

I mean we already have a 70s one fighting ww2 planes
Regardless, I believe it should at least face fighters equipped with early infrared missiles, to make full and proper use of its countermeasures. I see no reason why it couldn’t be enjoyable to play at those BRs.
Fair
Okay so the A-1H should go from 6.3 to 9.0
It also has flares and chaff.

I think this plane should be added as long as it gets all of its jamming + chaff and flares as that would make low tier air to air missiles worthless forcing a gun run.
Also if the snail where to bless this improvised bomber with some cargo bay door parachute payloads I am sure people will kindly air drop your Amazon delivery right onto your cap your trying to capture.
The overall plane is balanced going into the game and I am sure some people will include it into there line ups and depending on the munitions Gaijin blesses it with it may just work in naval.

It could be interesting to see it included in a potential infantry DLC. Dropping BMDs and VDV as a spawn point.

That would be OP or AA food depending on the enemy team. But this could be a cool plane to see because of all the load outs in theory this bomber can use. Just think of all the sea mines you can push out the back.

Yeah C-130’s (specifically MC-130J’s) are capable of dropping various JDAM bombs and deploy AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles in the form of palletized munitions. A live fire test of the Rapid Dragon system has already taken place and was considered a success.
The same system is also being developed for the C-17 too which has conducted dummy drops of JASSM and JDAM already.
Not to mention MC-130’s already can drop the GBU-43/B MOAB.
There is also the KC-130J Harvest Hawk program which adds AN/AAQ-30 TGP, 4 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and 10 AGM-176 Griffon missiles launched from the rear ramp.
