As I just said it should have been the B52d or a pre big-belly b52 for this event paired with the normal tu95m
Plus for bombers of this size none of that really even matters with no ECM they’re going to be fighter food regardless of bomb load

fab 9000 being more ass than the pe8 fab5k is the bigger letdown

That’s why you bring the two Fab 5000s with it

Anybody else has this nice bug that if a gun SPAA or IFV fires at you, the visuals (bullets and turret) point and fly into a completely different direction while your plane suddenly gets hit and breaks apart because those bullets, flying 90° away from you, hit you?
Also OSAs and Rolands still fire and guide multiple missiles (at different targets) at the same time sometimes for whatever reason…
I have 0 interest in the B-52, so this is an unbiased opinion. If it was a Vulcan, that might be a different story
There is only really 2 choices.
- reduce the B-52s bomb load
or - increase the B-52s BR.
and neither is tbh fair.
In the context of ARB, it’ll be lucky if it gets 1 base kill, let alone the oppotunity to use all those bombs, and is already mitigated by both the diminishing returns mechanic and just the impact in FM (Though FM performance is less relevant for something like the B-52)
and yes, in ASB, I can see these being quite effective if they get through. But i imagine it will be fairly tough to always get through to actually unleash this bomb load. Increasing its BR is only going to make that way, way harder.
Artificial nerfs to loadout suck. Having the B-52 end up with a similar bomb load to the F-111A because “balance” would be kind dumb". Pretty much the only reason I can think to even touch it in an Air mode is just to mess about with the massive bomb load

they are also worse
Marginally only a 6 meter destruction radius difference and you get 2
The perfect plane for an event like this ngl, and Avro Vulcan fitted with four AGM-45 Shrike missiles.

Definitely make it more interesting. now I’m hoping they add the f-105g with the two shrikes and two STARMS
Really don’t get why the US Tact nuke bomber isn’t the F-111… the direct analogue of the Su-24

I found a way to grind B-52H with the F4E less painfully guys… Use zuni rocket and just snipe the OSA or go around the coast to the BUK or S-300 and just get rid of all of them. You will get a 5KT nuke very fast. If you do this 2 times you will get the 30KT nuke. Then just start bombing their Airfield.
It would be nice if we didn’t keep having over 20 minute wait times to enter battle. Even with all servers selected.

I saw no B-52 nor Tu-95 after the update.

why do you say that?
Play arcade. It quicker for now.
It literally B52 Vs Tu-95M dogfighting no fighters at all…
Is the SP gain of nuking positive now?
That will depend where you nuke… If you nuke the convoy with the storage stuff then it a Yes.
Use the 2x 5,000’s. They have different explosive filler, higher kg for kg equivalent than the 9,000.

What is the gain per spawn?
