We just had a major update a week ago. Nothing is going to be announced yet for the next one for some time.

That’s the B-1B, not the B-1A are you sure a supersonic low RCS airframe; SNIPER-XR TGP + 24x 2000lb JDAM-ERs carried internally (and more externally), is worth a 10.0 rating, seems a tad low.
It’d be slightly more reasonable for a B-1A or B-1R. But not a B-1B with up to date stores.
Good morning Smininator.
Why would it have a new name though? It’s just new drop tanks and IRST pods. I don’t think there’s any other differences.

theres no other EXTERNAL differences
Ok, but when can i ask abuot it? Druring the Next Major update (Update Name) round up and rumor?
we’ve only had guesses about the upgrades with only a few photos of the raptor, we have no idea if the internals have been upgraded, and even lockheed is calling it raptor 2,0
Im calling it now there gonna call it the F22C and its gonna have upgraded internal avionics along with the external pylons
right now it has the stealth drop tanks, stealth iris-t and the new stealth external pylons which have been in dev for years, but the USAF and lockheed said upgrading the internals and electronics of the f22 would cost too much, and was a reason why they stopped production
The BR’s are for air battles (and at that just there so I can organise it better).
It’s also got no air-to-air armament and no gun. I put it there since it would essentially be like playing the F-111A but only taking the bombs.
Obviously for ground battles it would be higher BR.
how would they work bombers, most if not all modern bombers dont have defensive turrets or a-a weapons, would we get AI escorts? or relay on our team to escort the bombers, or would they have their own game mode with AI escorts and AI fighters or a mix of AI fighters, AI escorts and real players
probably rely on the team. I can only imagine modern bombers being nuke carriers if anything, rather than something researchable.
They could use the base system that was tested in the Deep Strike test done a while back. Have a big target with individual destructible components.
Maybe scatter a few of them around for EC sized maps or even add in some more of the usual bases for more targets.
if we have to rely on the team bombers would be uselss, no? i mean in ARB/ASB or GRB friendlies dont escort bombers, they all focus on A-A kills or A-G kills
Or, more likely, IIR seekers won’t be modelled accurately to real life to make sure that they aren’t death sentences for anyone being tracked by one within range.
They’d be no different to any other ground attacker already in-game with no A2A.
Just likely with a BR appropriate defensive suite
Well, it would force people to stay a couple more kilometers further away from the enemy giving Gen 5 jets the edge they would simply not have in the current missile environment
Bombers themselves would be useless anyways, none of the game modes promote any other playstyle but A2A. Base bombing and AI Targets are only useful when you can do nothing else and are secondary to fighting for most jets anyways. Modern bombers thrive in environments WITHOUT 12-16 modern enemy fighters. Base bombing doesn’t win you a match, neither does AI targets unless you need a few more points for a win.
so they’d be DOA?
