The gripen can come later, because if gaijin introduces the Hungarian gripen(C), what will the Sweden mains think then. They are also two distinct aircrafts despite all carrying potent IR missiles and being very agile. The gripen can carry AGMs, GBUs while the MiG gets better SARH missiles.
Italy also has no GBU CAS in forms of a fighter, hell, not even unguided bombs and rockets, the ADF and ADV only has cannons.
And RG-31 Ibululu)

@Smin1080p sorry for the ping, but if we will be able to datalink guide the Martels can that same feature be added to the A-7E with it’s AGM-62As? Those did support the same feature and would make the plane very relevant again as it isn’t in a good spot balance wise, at all.

Those all carry guns and more/better missiles meaning they can proxy as a fighter, they also tend to have decent dogfight capabilities, unlike the bucc.
And again, the 9.3 is fine… (but still if you go bomber mode, you usually have to go and wait for the bases to respawn) this 1 wont be 9.3… And none of the planes you mentioned go base bombing from my experience in air RB or if they do, its very rarely. I usually just see them strapped with guns and missiles. This is mostly because fighters will reach them first anyway.
Also the a7 ending it, do you really think the buccaneer will be ending games in 90 seconds? It isnt an A7, it isnt the Harrier strike meta… lol.
edit: as a perspective, the Jaguar GR1/A is often beaten to bases, and that will get there far quicker then the Bucc S2B will.

A-6 doesn’t have integral guns.
And Su-25 is the only decent dogfighter. Bucc is easily as good as the other two, and only slightly worse than Su-25 but is faster than the Su-25.
If I full stack 4 Buccs with an air spawn I guarantee that match is over before the enemy is to their own bases.
love it! Can’t find the version with tow or was it the mamba?
You are aware right that it only has 2 AAMs and no guns right?

While I would support giving certain strike aircraft airspawns again, I feel it is better to just have a airspawn restriction for all strike aircraft above 8.0
Spoiler
Yes, gaijin, not based on rank, but on BR. The US F-84F and the swedish Saab 105s shouldn’t get airspawns when no other strike jet at that BR gets one
Didnt say it had internal guns.
And no, you wouldnt guarentee that lol, they would not be able to cause enough damage, heck even back when you could air spawn with them they couldnt end games that quickly without extreme coordination, I used to play it like mad when it first came in and had all the bonuses, only in 1 game did we manage to do a instant win using the buccaneers bomb loads which cant happen again because main airfields are not targets now.
No Martel for France i guess…?
i hope after the bloody teaser we gonna start seeing the interesting stuff
Did France adopt the TV guided version? I thought they only went with the anti radar system.

We’ll have to see if Martels come for other aircraft than just the Bucc S2B
Edit: it seems the Martels with TV guidance only ever got used on Buccaneers and for trials on the Nimrod, Sea Vixen and TSR.2
Gonna need to see evidence that it was downgraded from 4 to 2.
Yes, I’m aware it doesn’t have guns, it’ll still be fine. Just as the A-6 is fine when not bringing guns.
@Mitchverr
Sir, I solo’d a custom match with 1 sortie of Su-25 destroying every single ground target on the map thus winning the match to prove something else to someone.
Have 4 people do that and the match is over in the first pass.
Its no problem to switch turret
timecode 2:05

When has the bucc ever had 4 missiles?
And a properly timed air spawn would mean you make contact with the enemy before you can do that, I am not asking for a free ticket to bomb without enemy contest, I am asking for a bump start so that I dont have to fight an impossible run against phantoms and F5s for the bases.
Better to say it’s identical to the 20mm on amx30s since it’s a derivated of a GIAT canon.
This patch is just fire and ice 2. Mostly copy paste with 3-4 actually new things.
