Thats why something like the Sea Harrier FA2 with AMRAAM is 11.7 in GRB.
The addition of Aim-9Ms wouldnt increase its GRB BR. Wouldnt even touch it slightly.
Now whether or not 11.7 Tornado IDSs and possible the F-111C/F should have IRCCM missiles for ARB considering their BRs and the BRs of other aircraft nearby with IRCCM like the Mirage F1C-200 or Jaguar IS. I personally think 11.7 for 2x Aim-9M on a low performance Super-sonic is not that unreasonable.
9Ms would increase its ground BR as 9Ms don’t have a higher SP cost.
On top of that, 9Ms would make it ~13.0.
Tornado IDS is a brick, F-111F is not.
I’ll be getting to F-111C shortly.
Mirage F1C is less maneuverable and carries less short-range IR missiles than F-111F.
Jag is the worst example as that’s F-5C equivalent in flight performance.
You act as if people are begging for F-111A to get 9Ms when they aren’t.
We need hard data when it comes to F-111C.
F-111F on its static facts: Best TF-30 engine ever produced, and only marginally heavier than F-14A.
Its performance might easily be better than Mig-23ML, MAYBE on par with MLD. Emphasis on maybe due to its high drag.
And F-111C will require hard data regardless since its static facts are hard to find and do the math for.
Both require cockpits to be in-game for WTRTI to work tho.
The F-111F is in the ballpark of 2x heavier than the F-14 though, it may be good at higher speeds but it will be an absolute bus if it even thinks about getting bellow 500 IAS
Not really.
F-14A is 18350.0 empty.
F-111F is 21863.0 empty.
Add ~1000kg of fuel for the extra thrust of F-111F’s engines and that’s still only ~4513 difference before weapons.
Take in the fact that stock static is ~4300kgf difference… it’s more similar at zero speed than we think.
We’ll need cockpits to get the at-speed thrust as well as turn time.
that’s not what Armée de l’Air said seeing the aircraft,… i’m french and even i prefer some other designs than this cheap-off re-brand of a Mirage III ^^
At that point I am surprised the Rafale exists
And they didn’t just call it Mirage 10 000 instead given they call everything that did fly’s in that era Mirage
I’m finding it hard to find official documentation on the performance but the F-111C should be getting the TF-30-P-108 engine. this was a unique version used only on the F-111C combining the F-109 engine with the afterburning section of the P-107. This was a far more reliable engine but for us more importantly increased engine power to 20,840lb thrust (9453 kgf).
It’s contradictory. As when they did fit checks for they pylons they did clear the 9L/Ms for those stations, even with stores hung below them, and we have photographic evidence of aircraft flying with 9L/Ms there.
The variant we have in game is the su24m. Gaijin decided to add a stupid “su24m2” modification, which gives it gps guided bombs, but it retains the su24m cockpit, which was overhauled in the m2 upgrade.
It’s stupid, they should’ve never given it ka500s’s and just kept it as an su24m.
