Yeah… That is true
F-15 , f-16 and f-14 cloud also be added to the preset with a historic armament
Also true.
Imagine if they added this event’s ai to ASB. The spaa keeping their radars off until you are within their kill zone.
diving was your mistake, your ECM works best just going straight and very very slightly going down to gain speed otherwise you are just a free kill and giant target on radar

the victor does look cooler but vulcan is hands down the most iconic strategic bomber ever made and they didnt add it
i mean this thing technically nuked the us twice
And then we’re back to where we started, as the yanks would push for spammable presets.
isnt it 21 x 2000 lbs ?
I’d actually be down for it if the quantity was somewhat reasonable as it would give really good value to some people doing SEAD.
I’ve had no issue gunstrafing the Buks and S300s so with the right tactics it can be done in anything.
They need to make the PvE side of ASB challenging without being stupid
We would need ELINT modeled for this to be implemented at a wider scale. Just too imprecise without it.
That being said, I have had success strafing patriots in a frogfoot. Just wish the Rus side AI followed the soviet doctrine for suppression of SAMs and SPAA. Especially given they are within range of the Smelch launchers half the time.
hopefully its on the way this year now we got strategic bombers in the game but it should have been the cover for the update its way more iconic than the stratofortress
Anyone knows if the B-52 engines have thrust reversal IRL?
I have yet to even reach those spaa. I just get smacked by spaa even if i keep ground between me and them.
If we had to have the Vulcan over the Victor, replacing the B52 as the reward would have been snazzy.
backwards takeoff ingame would be quite funny with that giant brick
It is insane in what kind of advantage you are if you have an F-14/15/16/18.
The F-15 can carry 8 GOOD missiles, 4 IR+ IRCCM and 4 SARH with a PD radar.
While the generously given airplane by gaijin, gets 4 shitass IR missiles and 4 aim-7 without PD, so you will barely get to use them because everyone hugs the ground (which I have nothing against, its a valid tactic).
The gamemode is GREAT, but Gaijin gimped it with the shitass choices for airplanes, and not allowing the other nations in.
They could have made it bluefor vs redfor but noooo
I would really like to hear a valid explanation for why the chose these lineups.
The only thing I can see, is that the asymmetry and less people having F-14/etc in the game, makes things very interesting, although unfair and unbalanced, it does make the matches interesting.

Does taking down the radar unit stop them from firing or do you have to destroy everything present there?
yeah but the vulcan is what gaijin considers a “minor nation” vehicle so they went with america instead
The mig -29 can carry 6 insane missiles , 4 ir+irccm+tvc and 2 best sarh missile in game with a pd radar
R73 and insane in the same sentence do be funny
IDK all of you, but when i launch a 500lb bomb directly on an AA or on a t80 they dont die
