Is the US mid and late bomber line fun to play in Air RB and Ground RB?

in hear its really good in sim

the B57A isn’t worth it IMO, B57B is amazing, you get stock .50s and then you can research 20mm’s that hit like a bus, and you get 4 of them, plus Napalm, you get chaff but don’t research it as you’ll almost never fight a radar missile its all heat seekers in my experience, you get 4 or 8 1000lbs bombs, but I recommend running the 750’s and napalm

Canberra Mk2/6 (B-57 in 99% of respects) is a lot of fun and very capable. The variants with guns dogfight surprisingly well.

Though in GRB the B-57 doesnt get to enjoy the double cookies the Canberra Mk2 has

Well there’s the R511 at 8.3 but you can dodge that thing by just sneezing so…

Give tips.

Probably can out manoeuvre it. It pulls quite a lot of G’s

28

Yeah let’s be real 10.0 is a death sentence, there is absolutely nothing you can even consider doing to defend from them. If an ariete can hardly defeat a Magic 1, a B-66 can’t do crap

29

go around

Just record an video to show me how you play it.

You will meet the R-60 there too…

10.0 isn’t even that bad when you look at 10.3…

33

I dont know, but we have a serious bomber problem. Its free food. They dont spawn high enough. And 7.9 bombers are jsut cooked.

It’s pretty much constant uptier after 8.3 in my opinion… not a chance in downtier.

35

idk the current stats but from my experience 7.7 is nice, 8.0-8.7 is alat of uptiers, 9.0 is a sweetspot, 9.3-9.7 is alat of uptiers, 10.0 is a sweetspot, then 10.3+ is alat of uptiers

36

just treat it like a b-29 and dont fly straight through the map

37

Why don’t they put it in the similiar BR as IL-28? Maybe 8.7? 8.3?

38

tbh the only reason to grind the US bomber line is to get the F-15E

39

Since you somehow manage to grind to top tier in USA… i need to know what plane you used…

I used F-20A. But since Su-30 prems exist, I think F-18C may be a better purchase these days. Or just tailsman as-you-go up the ranks. Planes like F-4S can’t see SU-30 due to 12.0 BR but they are rank 7 of whihc rank 9 is coming.

the combo of no HMD/datalink is harsh, at least F18C has datalink and NCTR, also the tall box ACM mode you can switch to that reduces the need for HMD.
