If the F-111B gets added I’m sure it would get them, the whole purpose of the aircraft was a naval fighter capable of using them, which developed into the Tomcat.
It, like the tomcat, was planned to be able to carry 6 Aim-54As. From what I remember it was planned for 4 under the wings and 2 in the internal bay. (Notably the 4 exterior Aim-54s added a lot of drag)
The F-111B compared to the F-14A would be able to carry the same amount of Phoenixes, possibly have the ability to carry more sidewinders if iirc (idk for sure if it has the same wiring to allow for 6 underwing sidewinders), can’t carry sparrows, has the ability to carry Mk.4 gun pods, and would be a whole lot heavier and sluggish. It would however likely be faster on the deck, and be able to sit at a lower BR given its numerous disadvantages.
However I’ve just noticed something, the only countermeasures it could use were chaff pods similar to the ones being used around the time. So have fun with that…
Gaijin needs to stop making everything Chinese mid or bad and actually give China a chance to compete against the other nations. Player skill does not equal to vehicle performance. Just because China has a good win rate doesn’t mean that China should not get buffed. The way gaijin treats Chinese vehicles is absolutely atrocious and some people still do not think anything of it.
would be crazy if su35 still ends up being the better jet even after adding pl15 , pl17 ,r77m , r37m. j-16 uses an aesa radar irl but the azimuth coverage of su35s radar would be much better making it much more op in game. (+more missiles).
It will be better in game with the current missiles and meta.
If we get long range missiles like the PL-15 and such my money is on the J-16 in BVR due to better TWR, getting to altitude and speed will be much more important than radar limits in that scenario.
But i have my doubts we’ll ever see these super long range missiles, my guess is we’ll cap out at around ~150km so PL-15E, AIM120D, R-77M
Neither the J-16 nor J-15T will be added to the game until we obtain the PL-10, since the PL-10 is the sole infrared-guided missile equipped on these aircraft.
I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Gaijin doesn’t really care when it comes to historical aircraft loadouts they’ll give it something even if its something it’s never used
su-35 is not that far off it will have a better twr than than the su30sm and being able to notch and fire/maintain a hard lock is a pretty good feature. (even tho it will severely affect its range if launched while notching). already the smt is pretty good at this the su35 will be even better.
After successful iranian F-14 event for US (i think the best reward for a event in war thunder history) now its another GREAT REWARD for a Event for US:
iranian F-4E with upgraded avionics radars and new weapon
R-73, chinese missiles, and etc
ugraded iranian f-4s has a sign on their fuselage (Douran project)
LETS START ANOTHER GREAT EVENT
lets like this to over 100 likes so war thunder cant ignore it lol
