Nosewheel steering on the Buff is amazing.
Also Gaijin where’s our PLZT googles for the pilots?
I’m trying to decipher whether or not the airfield is actually bigger or not from the video
The BUFF looks like- does that say 51 bombs??? 1000+ chaff???

Ngl, I’m starting to prefer this over the “smart” B-52H.
Just rain down bombs in a general area and profit. Guaranteed you won’t miss
Also, I wonder how useful chaff will be…
The more modern version would pretty much just be this + all the guided munitions. Also some avionics upgrades.
I want the more modern one for the MOP (didn’t use it in service but did test it ready for the B-2).
Also testing the B-52 out you can kill 5 bases in a single run with the 51 x 500lb bombs.

But with ARB not being airfield targeted anymore, i think the B-52 wont suit a nice role.
If they bring more strategic targets to ARB, then it might become more usefull indeed.
Oh yeah it won’t be good in ARB, but might be decent in sim.

im actually quite enjoying the event so im fine grinding out the B52H, the Tu95M just looks a bit mid is all
Ok, now that a few hours passed, I gotta ask… am I the only one who was disappointed by this year’s event? It’s basically just an Ground Attack-centric Enduring Confrontation event.
I know many air players were looking forward to such thing, but… opinions from people who aren’t air mains?
Like… a high tier air-focused event after 10x high tier air-focused updates.
B-52 in the Blue Angels when?
So I tried the event with the F-14 IRIAF (That I, as I said, never really played)
Don’t think I’m going to try and get the bombers from the event, I’m just getting insanely frustrated by basically everything. I don’t have carefull enough handling to prevent constant loss of control, the AIM-9P’s I’m stuck to don’t seem to do anything, even when I manage to sneak behind an enemy, and I apparently cannot aim an aircraft cannon w/o the arcade reticle.
Any way to salvage this or should I consider myself a lost cause?
Crowd on the ground looking at such maneuvers:
Clearly you’ve never seen A400Ms at an airshow… These things will casually do barrel rolls just above your head

I mean I despised the ww1 event so I cant really not have a biased view but I think its amazing and should be a permanent mode
Kinda but also a lot more one sided for vehicle rewards
ive been doing pretty well in the F4E when fighting Mig23s and even the odd mig 29
Hey @Smin1080p_WT any reason why the devs chose the Tu-95M and not the MS? At least both bombers would have been represented with their upgraded version.
Are you sure that’s historic ?
I mean shouldn’t you be already be bombed by now : P
