ok this is the first time anyone is hearing of this personal distinction of yours though
This is bad logic. Just removing bases and doing nothing else does nothing good for gameplay.
I was just pointing one example. If you want to get more technical on this…well, bases are not even for attackers like A-10, but for bombers.
Because that’s what the late F-104 variants are only good for? Cough Mig-21bis at 11.0 and F-104G at 11.0
Also stock grind
Then you would need to give fighters full set of advanced missiles to replace the stock grinding.
Although some planes, like the F-104G remain trash
oh boy not you in a thread about fighters base bombing.
they already have that
They don’t. What is two AMRAAMs gonna do against 8 of them?
Then we have some stock planes with 9E before their unlock to 9P. 9E is a useless missile at higher tier. Example: F-1
It’s only useless because you bring napalm/bombs instead of it ;)

you unlock more as you spade your aircraft. this would defeat the existence of stock grinds and make everything a maxed out test drive
this is a balancing issue where an airframe with ordinance overperforms lower down but becomes less notable higher up.
Not being able to base bomb in your free tomcat isn’t in the question on that
No, give napalm on more planes that are missing it.
F-15E, F-111F, F-16C (maybe), afaik basically anything US with bomb hardpoints could carry napalm
Matter fact, give thermobarics and fuel air explosives, as well as cluster bombs
If it can carry a type of ordnance, it should be able to carry and use that ordnance.
If you have issues with attackers not being able to reach bases, that’s an issue with map design and objectives.
If you don’t like how other people play the game, that’s a you problem.

''Some planes like F-104 also have small bomb load, would make them completely unplayable that some people paid their hard earned money for (F-104 TAF).
People not fighting is a common justification to complain about fighters bombing, but it will get much worse if you nerf Napalm. Do we really want the days of the F-5s carrying full load, not being able to dogfight at all back?‘’
You cant be serious 🥴
Cluster bombs would be something absolutely necessary in the game considering that it is one of the most common and most used ammunition, especially to wipe out columns and groups of vehicles

Or you can stop whining about people bombing bases? Oh no, someone is trying to grind? Welp, gotta punish them somehow, right Gaijin?
“Oh but then I can’t get a base” okay, why are you complaining about other people going after bases when you are doing the exact same thing? What’s the common phrase? Ah yes, “git gud” at the game. You got missiles, don’t ya? You can easily fight in a A-10 or a Su-25 and its variants. AJS gets AIM 9Ls, strike aircraft Mirage gets missiles too. Oh, and for low tiers? Boom and zoom.
There’s a lot more things to complain about in this game besides someone just trying to grind. Blame the economy for it. Many people came to Realistic BECAUSE you got more points for bombing in Air Realistic Battles than fighting in Air Arcade Battles.
Oh, and before I get the complaints: yes, I fight in Realistic, but that doesn’t change the fact I could care less about what my team does. They wanna bomb and then leave, good on them. They wanna sweat and hog all the kills, good for them. Want to comment TITLE CARD memes while we are looking for OMNI MAN RAAAAAAAAAAGH (airfield camper)? Well, I need you in my games like I need SEA SALT, I NEED YOU SEA SALT!
Plus, bombing is the most consistent way to get RP. Hence why people bomb in Realistic and Sim, because it is consistent.
In Sim, there’s almost no one anyways, so it’s easier to bomb and wait 15 minutes over hovering over key objectives waiting for someone to actually fly by for the next twenty years (exaggeration but not really).
Realistic, well everyone is already going for elims, and as I said, it is consistent. Some matches you get zero elims, and are uptiered to oblivion. I would rather take the easy way out too.
Even though I am a Tornado Enjoyer, and I hate napalm bombing fighters.
Killing the capability of carrying napalm on every multirole fighter sounds too much to me.
To be honest, in my deep heart, I want to see that they get removed.
When I sees every god damn friggin MiG-21’Bison’ or MiG-23ML carrys nothin but just two ZB-500 napalm bomb in full downtier and flys faster than my Tonka with AIM-9L and 5x 1000lb bombs.
But the capability of using napalm on fighter jets shouldn’t be removed for gameplay and the realistic side. :|
Okay, Mr Paddington brown.
Then, do you think that attacker/bombers should remain worthless when fighter jets in multirole capability completely nail them either A2A/A2G?
‘Napalm bombing fighter’ isn’t only ‘we hate grinding player’ problem.
Napalm is way too effective compared to its non-napalm counterparts.
30% of the weight but same damage to base.
Buying premium jets which is not capable of carrying napalm has become a brain-dead option nowadays.
F-4J(UK) and Tornado IDS WTD61 can be examples of them.
Same 70$ but worse than F-4S/MiG-23ML in every goddamn aspects.
This problem is not as simple as buying marmalade at Tesco for a marmalade sandwich.

Nah, I am just enjoying the “fighter purists” getting pissy because someone else has a different opinion. I mean, I have seen some of these people here (on the forums) talk about TKing fighters that carry bombs. I personally don’t care. Everyone wants to grind, and bombing is the easiest way. You chose to be a strike aircraft, you chose a plane that is slower and chose to give yourself a massive loadout. All you need is two napalm for a base.
This is extremely dumb when non-napalm needs 5.
and there are some nations which cannot access it at all.
I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO PLAY THEM, for Christ’s sake.
The day when I talisman Tonka GR.1, there was no jets which can carry napalm in GB TT.
:/
Even today, the only napalm-carrier in WHOLE GB TT is MiG-21Bison, which is from India and accessible by payment.
They are even worse than napalm-bombing fighters.
Both sides are not helpful in the current ARB meta.
But at least napalm bombers are not violating EULA. TK player does.
They literally hate every ground grinder.
I even got TKed once before because [I brought a Tornado IDS into their sacred fighter-heaven ARB].
Maybe it was blaspermecy. :|
I meant, napalm bombs need some adjustment because it is broken now.
it really needs to get revamp on mechanism.
but ‘removing it completely’ is not a good idea if we thinks about historical loadout side.
That is why I am not supporting this idea even though I hates [MiG-23ML with napalm] in same level of our baroness maggie.
I mean tbf look at this way, Fire does damage overtime and does hella lot of damage when uncontained compared to bombs which does 1 big damage because only explosion
It’s kind of modeled in game on how Napalm doesn’t insta kill but damages overtime
