Paid real life money for a very distinct advantage.
Glad someone finally admitted they are pay to win though

Hello
These 2 are the most likely to be resolved soonest.
This one is the least likely, as this appears to have been an F-111A converted to C and not representative of the standard C variant. If we change our aircraft in game to represent this version (converted from A), then it may loose weaponry / capability elsewhere. So sadly unless it can be proven this capability was present on the standard C, its not likely to come.

Because it’s easier to protect a fighter and would you rather put an extremely expensive bomber with a full aircrew at risk or a replaceable single seat fighter?
Also AARGM-ER is faster and iirc cheaper than a JASSM-ER or even a JSOW
Because the Nuclear option isn’t always the right one?

There’s nothing to “finally admit”, it’s just a fact though
So what? It was an official product offered by the game store- it’s not like we are talking about a cheat, hack or any other kind of shady or illegal thing.
Just because some people dislike these P2W items it doesn’t mean it’s okay to screw over thousands of customers who have spent their money on these legal and official products.
As I said earlier; it’s fine by me if bushes are removed- but ONLY if they are properly refunded. There’s no reason not to agree with refunding other than wanting to make people who purchased miserable over the petty feeling that “they deserve it”.

@Smin1080p_WT Is there any plans in the future to decrease the chance to get thunderclouds and to decrease the height of trees? I keep having issues where in an uptier my MiG-29SMT is so outperformed by everything I’m fighting that I attempt to sit on the deck but often get maps that have clouds on the ground or maps that have trees that are 50+ meters that make it near impossible to dodge ARH missiles via the ground.
No, Israel only ever obtained the Aim-9L and Aim-9M.
That’s not how things work. If it gets the countermeasures, it doesn’t just get “a ton of them”, it only gets as many as other M-346 variant. And if it gets countermeasures, it most certainly will get the underbelly gun pod.
Keep in mind it’s also got a strong radar compatible with the Derby, the potential for gaijin to give it Elbit’s Dash or Targo HMD, potentially the Python 4/5s, LGBs, up to 6 AAMs, Mavericks, and more. All of these capabilities are found in other M-346s in foreign service, and as such gaijin could give it these capabilities ingame.
We already have a 9.7 strike jet anyway, the Ayit.
Sipri is pretty reliable but if you have evidence to the contrary then be my guest
The evidence is that there is no primary source evidence suggesting Israel obtained any Aim-9”S” sidewinders ever. A single website isn’t a source. There is however documentation detailing the acquisition and purchase of the Aim-9M for training usage on F-16s, and as such it’s entirely possible they were used in the Lavi as seen in the photos. The Aim-9L is also known to have been used in IAF aircraft and are the reason for multiple confirmed kills. They never had the Aim-9”S”.
Sipri uses mostly first hand sources and a handful for each one
They have made mistakes but they arent left on the page i used, they can miss things however so you may be right but unless anything to the contrary i am more likely to believe Sipri, which again is a somewhat decent source just not a primary one
Since it’s possible we might eventually get strategic bombers, here’s a look at the vehicles that would qualify:
USA
(So many x and y planes!)
B-36
B-47
B-52
B-58*
B-1
B-2
B-21
GBR
Washington
Valiant
Vulcan
TSR-2
Victor
DEU
Ju-390
Ju-287
RUS
M-4
Tu-16
Tu-22
M-50
Tu-95
Tu-22M
Tu-160
ITA
Nuh-uh
FRA
Mirage IV
JPN
Nada
ISR
Zilch
SWE
Zip
CHN
H-6
… a pretty unbalanced list, many nations won’t have an option. That said, we’ve got no idea how the Strategic Bombing mission type/game mode will work, and it’s likely that the gameplay will require a variety of vehicle types on each team (as all modes in War Thunder do) so it’s not like nations without Strategic Bombers won’t be able to participate.

Missing TSR 2 there, think something between a Vulcan and a Tornado, (which tbf is where it sits chronologically).

would be great to see XB-70 too if doing prototypes.
funny enough, the BAC TSR 2 first flew only 6 days after the XB-70

Hungary and Italy were only allied for about three years during WW2. During WW2 they were enemies, they were enemies after the Italian armistice, and they were enemies from the end of WW2 to the end of the Cold War in 1991. Being allies is only one factor among many.
Britain has their own domestic options, the Ajax and Boxer CT40.

also to reach a point that all nations get their modern strategic bomber, we can give each nation a variant of american or russian bomber, for example japan, germany, israel can get one variant of b-52, or other american bombers, italy and france and sweden can get one variant of british modern strategic bombers in their tech trees. china have its own bombers but we can give them one other russian bomber variant too
the problem is solved lol
remember, germany have the first heavy jet bomber of history the ju 287
with max speed of about 600 km per hour
Isn’t ordinance supposed to be let loose?
