B-1B and Vulcan would be great to see alongside the B-52. Maybe then in the future we could get something like the B-2 or even the B-21 in the far future.
But I do hope that if added we don’t get the MS Paint cockpits. I get that it would take the devs a lot of effort to make them but proper cockpits should be a requirement for them. Failing that just some good cockpit placeholders would be ok.
Also a good candidate, I’m all for its addition ;)
I mean it’s not really a B-52 without the cockpit
Yup heard that aswell! It’s pretty exciting.
A B-52 in War Thunder would be a dream… alongside other strategic bombers for the other nations of course.
Don’t even get me started on that beauty
That one is probably the most important jet bomber ever (due to its multi engine layout)
Good looking too
Only one that could carry a2a weapons as well. It would be like 10.3 tomcat with its AIM-47 and AN/ASG-18
I thought the same about the B-17.
Also thought the same about the B-29
But yeah the B-52 absolutely should get it’s cockpit
All the engine instruments lol
YF-12A at home lol
That would require:
A) The B-58 to be added in the first place
B) Gaijin to model the AIM-47 and that single specific B-58 that was modified to carry the missiles and the radar to be added
and C) Gaijin to be silly enough to give a plane with mach 4 missiles that have 160km range such a low BR
actually, the b29 isn’t super far off just missing details, overall shape is there
I don’t think it would be 160km from a B-58. Not sure how many AIM-47 it could carry but probably not much.
Well that’s what they used to test the radar and missiles lol
Even if the lower speed of the B-58 brought the range down to a quarter, that would still be 40km range on SARH missiles with terminal IR homing
So it’s like a bootleg ARH in terminal phase (but can ofc be flared)? I still don’t think it would be worth putting about 11.0 since it needs a hard lock to get it there bc SARH
11.0 still seems a bit low considering what planes it would meet in downtiers, however maybe I haven’t made it clear enough, it is highly unlikely that this specific B-58 would be added in the first place with the B-58 already being an unlikely addition.
The regular B-58 was never meant to be used to deliver conventional bombs and it wasn’t equipped to even be able to carry and drop conventional bombs, meaning in-game it would either have to be in a fictional configuration or basically be limited to being a nuke carrier in ground battles.
What if the event will be strategic bombing, but also with heavy SAM defending?
I’m 99% sure it won’t be strategic bombing. Does strategic bombing sound like an April Fools joke to you?
Well, there we go lol
Nevermind
