I want to suggest another option to this aircraft, if added. This aircraft was originally designed with the capability of a very considerable external load which would make its total payload 150% of the heaviest B-52 conventional bombload. This capability was lost as a result of the START treaty as it was negotiated away. Soviet monitors witnessed the structural metal fabrication and sheet metal coverings which replaced any and all external load options for the bombers.
My suggestion is that, through tech tree advancements, the plane can revert to prior to START modifications and truly carpet bomb Mk 82s.
There was actually a formal proposal for the B-58B which would have both Strategic Nuclear missions as well as conventional Tactical missions. However, the airplane was already so very expensive and operational use had revealed her to be a massive maintenance hog so no funding was ever provided. Nonetheless, it wouldn’t be the 1st time Gaijin added a model which never saw production.
Bro honestly, I’d pay Gaijin $2M (USD) to get your post to be real! I just want this in-game
can we get the A model b58 ?
The survivability of an aircraft in ground matches is entirely up to the player flying it.
It’s no different than taking the A-10A Early into 12.7 GRB matches.
And at least the B-1B gets a modern Sniper TGP and JASSM or SDB or SDB-II.
