still no
SLAM? at that point im pretty sure its just a land attack harpoon
also its outrange by YJ-83 at that point
sooo… you are telling me that israel is finally getting a top tier SPAA after 3 years?

Look, they didn’t even want to add the GROM 1 to the game, the SLAM might be added in the next year or so, but I still think that would require changes to how the game modes work
well yeah they are planning to add heavy SPAA now, so there are the changes your talking about
If they’re actually planning to add a strategic bombing game mode, I’d be shocked. Gaijin killed off bombers as a viable aircraft type so many years ago, I have a hard time believing they’d bring them back, even as strategic bombers, without all the fighter boys having a fit.
it was air battles that the Grom 1 was most likely remove for, GPS weapons aren’t a huge threat in ground battles unless they’re quite big, but they make grinding in ARB too safe which I think was the issue

vietnam bombing operations would be interesting to play
maybe we’ll have longer range aam by then to make it more risky, and possibly even AI CIWS systems in some spots
especially in f-4
B-52 dropping tons on tons of bombs
the RP you could rack up…
yesssss

I can’t see the fighter boys complaining about massive formations of free SL/RP these days.
Yeah, it’ll become more likely when we have Meteors, R-37s and AIM-260s, but I think that is quite a way off. Hopefully ARB will just be using the EC maps by that point too, it’s not much better than regular ARB but going on strike missions on those maps can be quite fun I find
id like to see them add the AIR-2 and AIM-26A for a alt history mission of russian bombers attacking US ingame
century series interceptors directed by SAGE against russian bomber formations
They’ll likely heavily nerf RP and SL earnings for these vehicles in that gamemode anyway, don’t worry.
It could be interesting if they made it around the bombing campaign against Hanoi, if players controlled SAM sites and whatnot, but it’s not going to work in War Thunder, or it’s going to be some half-baked game mode like Helicopter RB was.
Well that’s exactly the problem. If it’s a game mode where bombers aren’t just free SL/RP, the fighter boys will complain. It will just be a repeat of what happened with bombers originally.
Personally, I’m waiting for the Mirage IV to make big supersonic passes.

B-1B and Mirage 4 in one gamemode would be something
