i mean, iirc the ones we have in game are already on the longer side of what’s common its 3km long or something like that
No RATO
It also doesn’t takeoff well at all
(yes this video is taking the piss, making it as heavy as possible (in current test drive), but the point is there)
do bear with for the upload though
yeah barely took off with the 51x500lb bombs
now lets wait until we can test it on Afghanistan, with 51 Retarded 750lb bombs, with nearly 7hrs of fuel
Also on another note, Tu-95 Stock grind will be painful being slow AF, and only having 4 500kg or 6 250kg bombs
I guess pray the 6 mods give you the bigger bombs
what trauma do you have with the harrier
Now if we compare the H.C 12000lb, H.C 8000lb or FAB-5000 (Pe-8)
Also FYI, the FAB-5000-54 and FAB-9000 are both much smaller than the H.C 12000lb, or FAB-5000 (Pe-8), the FAB-9000 is around that of the H.C 8000lb
I was not sure about how well nukes would work out in an ARB EC environment but I gotta say that it adds a lot of interesting counterplay with you being able to remove their spawns and defensive AIs.
Really makes me wish that this gamemode persists
They can replace them with runway busting weapons but they look so cool so I wish they keep them. At least as a weekend variant or smth.
Tu-95 also fires its flares out of its belly gunner currently
With unique sound to boot
(I have no idea if this is intentional)
Here goes hoping that they will get a new vehicle classification like “strategic bomber” and get an airspawn at 10k altitude
Still waiting for my Super Heavy Tank class :P
Or Heavy Fighters
So I played the event a little more, and thanks to the pretty good RP rewards I managed to move on from AIM-9’s in two matches.
Now with AIM-7’s and most recently the Fakour 90 finally unlocked, its a far more chill grind.
Still not something I’d play on the regular, but it’s no longer frustrating me either.
isnt fab 9000 a 9000kg bomb making it bigger than 12000lbs
Time to fix these things
(Hopefully don’t end up like H.P.12 which STILL has reversed elevators a year later, And its ventral gunner shooting through the fuselage)
in raw weight, yes
in TNT equivalent, No. it has less filler and its Raw TNT, not one with a higher Equivalence like RDX, TGA-9, H.6, etc
ah right that makes sense sorry i dont know anything about big bombs
I will say on balance the Su24 is an amazing nuke plane vs the F4E
I wonder- are these planes part of the Event cycle, or will they be independent and we are still to expect an event vehicle?? Or not until these are over?
