Honestly…before I was going on my great crusade of spading the entire british TT - The Buccaneer was a plane I spaded almost instantly lmao
I love it! It’s actually insanely good if played well. It’s a go-to whenever you have Antimech or something
Weird, coz I rarely see them in ARB due to how they are, well, chunky, sub-sonic and basically unarmed, with the S1 even struggling to take off and being actually unarmed (unless you are cracked at killing people with rocket pods)
zhe Buccaneers Air RB performance is Being Target practice
S1 is kind of dogshit on account of the engines and armament.
S2 is a silver lion printer if you play to its strengths, put on some Lo-Fi and flank hard. just go low, fly fast, take your time, go hard around the map and either:
Lineup on a convoy and obliterate it
or bomb two and a half bases
It’s comfortable at its BR I think
You can also slap bullpups on it for GRB
A lot of people aren’t aware of their 2 base + countermeasures, & 3 base loadouts.
S1 is a better Canberra, and Canberra is its BR because of air RB.
As stated, the issue is compression not ground RB.
I have a 68% survival rate in air RB with my S2, and I use the 2 base + countermeasure loadout.
I only got the S1, that could explain my attitude towards them
People really sleep on Buccaneer. It’s slow to accelerate, yes. But when you get speed? You can outrun most aircraft at your BR and you carry just 6 bombs less than an Avro Vulcan. You’re an absolute machine.
It’s got good loadout options:
I normally run my Bomber CM loadout as it gives you enough to destroy 2 bases.
Ground attack is insane for AntiMech orders or Thunderer.
Did you say a Buccaneer ? I seen one of them irl as well
I’ve been inside one :)

I’ve got a great survival rate on my S2 as well, not trying to say it’s dogshit or anything
What I’m trying to say is: There is no reason outside of GRB balancing from back in the day for the S2 to be 9.3 and the S1 to be at the same BR as the Canberra B(I) (as a sidenote, I don’t see any reason for the Canberra Mk 2 to be on the same BR as the B(I))
Reeeeeeeee
have you tried the S1?
I have spaded the S1
Bombers for air RB are balanced based on their survival rate + rewards earned in the match.
Which is how at one point Tu-4 & B-29 had ridiculous repair costs.
But I guess gajin might consider AV-8B Night Attack (NA) under A-7E Corsair II before AV-8B plus because currently USA tech tree no attack aircraft toptier, AV-8B+ from USMC got something better AV-8B+ (Marina Militare) and BR. higher
Guessing my idea
USA : F-16C Block 50 could get AIM-120B replacement AIM-7M & AIM-120C-3, F-16A Block 15 ADF (Air National Guard) get AIM-9M but unsure could add AIM-120A or not
RU : MiG-29SMT (9-19) get R-77 replace R-27R & R-27T, and in 2 or 3 year R-77-1 replacement R-27ER because R-77-1 similar AIM-120C-7
JP : F-15J-MSIP with AAM-4
CN : F-16A MLU in tech tree it might be F-16A Block 20 late & could add AIM-120C-3 or AIM-120C-5
IT : F-16A ADF get AIM-120B & 2 year could add AIM-120C-5, AV-8B+ (Marina Militare) get 2 AIM-120 like F-16A ADF and Gripen C with PS-05/A mk.3 radar ( HuAF) get AIM-120A/AIM-120B
IAF/IDF : F-16D Block 40 Barak should consider add Python 4 replacement AIM-9M it’s enough because never Derby in history, F-16I Sufa with AIM-120B and
1 or 2 year could get AIM-120C-5
SW : Gripen C (PS-05/A Mk3 radar) get AIM-120B (Rb.99) and JA37D Viggen could add 4x Rb.99
I’ve seen B-29 get more kills than I’d like to
poor little guy rotting in the wild
The one I saw was a Scottish north fleet bomber ^^
