Nah, Tornado IDS with Hindenburg tanks. That should have enough range 😜

This is also just fact. People frolic to this mode, because it’s a breath of fresh air. I myself included, especially when everything else in the game is so anti-consumer friendly.

I barely even have good planes above 4.3, mostly because of the slog to grind for the planes, and in the plane’s modules themselves.

This mode, i get a F-4E Phantom II, or a MiG-23 right away, without concern for the crew or modules grind, or even crew lock.

Adversely, i would have to otherwise grind for another year in U.S. Air alone, doing the same boring game loop tens of thousands of times more.

Genuinely, this game would be much better without the Crew Lock penalty, Max Vehicle Research Efficiency penalty, and separate vehicle modules where you would have all modules by default instead.

just don’t use reheat except for the short burst needed to get speed to toss the bomb.

nope, can’t have nice things because it would reduce the grind significantly and throw the monetization model out the window due to the grind being bearable if this was implemented.

Dont wanna risk getting intercepted by other planes

F111F should only be the nuke carrier in the higher BR bracket; I’ve been playing the F111F in the lower bracket and once you get going there’s nothing at or below 12.0 that can stop you outside a head on or waiting for you to get slow

Except AGM-130 and AGM-123s BC they’re the only AGMs heavy enough to be above their intercept limit for some reason

Gaijin why have you chosen to do this?

F-4E stretches from 1967s to 1990s and it had numerous upgrades.
Yet the 23 it faces the MLD 1982. If you were not going to update the F-4E with modern Radar for the time period or upgrade the Aim7E2 largely phased out by then. Why do you think it is acceptable to have an F-4E in 70s configuration (excluding the 9Ls)
To face the best version of the MiG 23MLD?

So I ask again why is it ok to have such an incapable US aircraft. It should have been a 21 BIS against an F-4E

Yeah, I don’t feel like HARM’s are actually that useful. In fact, I don’t even think they’d be particularly overpowered if thrown into the current top tier either.

SAMs like the newest Pantsir make them insufficient.

Curious ppl rag on the A-7 as much when I think the A-6 is the most pointless

Let alone the fact that if they actually model which frequencies the ARMs can attack, few if any can even target the Pantsir

AARGM still can, which is the threat it would actually face

Problem is with the HARM is the system they need to kill they wont be able to and thats the new Pantsir.
IRIS-T/SKYSABRE etc will not be able to reliably intercept the HARM.
BUK gets another buff as they dont need the Radar vehicle to function wasting your HARMS

AARGM is the relevant HARM model that would face the pantsir’s and can kill it.

Can kill it, not if the player is paying attention that is the issue with the new Pantsir the player has to be AFK or you have to be above it diving on it.
