I had an F4 flare a 73 so idk
Dropping the big nuke isn’t worth it anymore because I get shot down by a spawn camper. I now just take 30kt and destroy all their airbases and play the ammo depot to deplete tickets faster. Unfortunately that’s the problem from both sides right now.

Fair. Its too easy to small nuke everything with mig23, not so much with the f4. Every full game iv played which isnt really many the ruski wins unless we can drop the big boy

Simply loving how an Su-24 chased by four people can just keep hugging the deck while popping a flare every second to be completely safe from SARH and IR missiles while at the same time being to fast for the pursuers to catch up…
An F-4 doesn’t have enought countermeasure to constantly flare and is also limited to popping two flares at the same time instead of only one.
It’s almost identical, you get shot with no regard for range, countermeasures, platform movement, LOS, half the time no RWR.
welcome to bias
Ah yes, we got one chased down now by bullets (which it ate like it’s nothing). Too bad that the moment we shot it down it dropped its nuke killing all four pursuers with the blast ^^
So instead of a base it got four kills. These nukes need a minimum activation height…
No, F4 is goated with 30kt. I’ve destroyed 3 bases with F4s including their best base in the center of the map. You need to know what routes to take to be successful if you’re struggling to clap russian bases.
EDIT: I can show you a game I just had where I bombed 3 bases back to back
30KT F4 phantom follow Red, Blue then go Green. Use the contours on map so you know where its lower in map but this is guarantee 3 base with F4 doing round trips.

Yesterday I ran the mig 23 in staight lines to any base/ dump i wanted. I was thinking what’s the hype about the AA… and then i met Osa. I can easily get the depots in the F4 but the bases is next level- doesnt matter what moves I pulled= Osa time.
Apply this to the full team with everyone failing to bomb and its struggle time. Nato easier kills/ ruski easier win is how i see it ATM
Have you tried tossing the bombs using CCRP?
Not much. Always says no permission until the round thing that u use help drop dumb bomb goes over the target anyway so it wasnt helping
I don’t quite get why they thought it was a good idea to give the strategic bombers pseude ECM instead of just marking long range SAMs on the map which you have to take out (as an objective) before being able to spawn them in? Would be much more logical and engaging and would also divert some of the people from stupidly just going for airfields.

Only use CCIP and hold C while point up to make sure your bomb lands dead center use the marker to show you center of airfield no need for CCRP
I don’t know man I think you just got bad teammates if you’re losing to russia back to back. All these games and I only lost one. Phantom is OP in the right hands.

I dont have a clue what im doing with the auto bomb thing tbh. I bound cancel target as it was always saying no permission. if i leave it on it only drops when the circle goes to the target any way so i just aim it myself. Would be nice to lob them but not sure what is going on lol
Especially the F-4S and J where, if you get things right, can guide multiple missiles to different targets at the same time via radar sidelobes :D
Only thing that is sus: The HDN radar should only lock on incoming targets, not ones flying away. This works with enemies well, but if you want to lock onto an incoming enemy and a friendly flying in the same direction in front of you, it will effectively always locking onto the friendly instead of the enemy.

make sure you have bombs selected if you don’t see the reticle on the floor you don’t have it selected and therefore unable to drop
EDIT: If you’re using CCRP you have to be flying straight else it won’t drop or drop well.

Yeah, and even the A10s with 9M’s are freaking broken. It’s ridiculous how those things don’t care and will180 degree and kill a mig traveling 1.2 mach while they’re flaring and chaffing everything they have
Only in side-aspect. Front- and rear-aspect are lackluster because of the way its IRCCM works (disabling the whole seeker als long as a flare is inside its giant FoV).

F-4S vs the endless conga line of im guessing ground players that choose to fly up at missile and not stay at MP is as easy as it gets on WT IMO
Trouble is its too easy and boring IMO. In air RB nobody wants to die, this is the opposite. If you replaced with bots I wouldnt even be able to know.
Running nukes in the mig 23- alot of fun. Dropping big boy, intercepting their nuke plane too… the rest Im not convinced at all
