I don’t think a plane’s br should be balanced by comparing it to the canberras.
calling either just better or worse doesn’t work. Walleyes can be used without risk (unless you’re within range to lock onto thermals), but you only get 2 of em. SAAB can potentially get alot more kills with CCIP but at a far greater risk of SPAA.
Who said that? This is simply a skill issue on your part. You should probably learn to use CCIP so you can use it effectively since you can’t seem to see how great it is.
you can get potentially more kills with the pe-8.
This also needs to be talked about that you have to get rid of your guns if you want to go full in on bombing leaving you with 2 aim 9b’s as your only defense. Nose mounted 20mm are nice not to mention forward wingslats help if you get into a fight after using ordinance. Additionally rocket boosters help for getting back into the fight faster than the 105. All these little things are why they are different BR’s Additionally agm 62 self guide which is very potent, allowing me to deal with targets on the move instead of having to lead a bomb on the 105 and (if we use your idea of sitting 2km up.) That 1000lb bomb could land anywhere within 200m+ of the target thats not wven accounting for them moving.
The problem with CCRP and and CCIP is that these are dumb bombs. The higher you are the more likely they are to go off target. Moving targets requires the pilot to account for where they will be when the bomb hits. AGM 62 has surprisingly good tracking which i originally thought it would be more similar to AGM65A which has a tendency to fail more often then my 62A’s. Smart weapons will always be a safer option when fighting ground vehicles then just using dumb bombs.
From my experience i maybe land my 2000lb maybe 3/4 of the time due to either the target moving while i line up or from it just going slightly off target. The bigger payload on that bomb is nice in helping with minor flight path changes but its not always going to work.
why not? similiar bomb load, also the bucc which granted has a higher bombload but is still subsonic, without flares, is 9.3, the saab105 shouldnt be that low
That’s based almost soley on luck and is unreliable. Avoiding SPAA and getting kills with individual bombs is skill based and is far more reliable.
are we talking about the same plane?
you can equip flares.
Use your rockets. Even more potential kills.
Rockets have too much random spread thus not skill based. They are well suited for dealing with SPAA though.
Thats why i can use 5 bullpups on the A4E and those are pretty good unlike the nords. So even more kills

use your five bullpups.
Then why do you keep talking about walleyes and a 2,000lb bomb?
Eh depends on when i pull CAS, if i know spaa is up i normally pull agm 62A, lets me stay away and it self guides. 2000lb is great for clearing a cap. Bullpupnis better if there isnt too much spaa. Nice for cleaning house when they have a few guys running around in the open.
Why bullpups? you could carry 3 1,000lb bombs on the center rack alone.
You can guide them and they don’t need to hit the target direct from my experience. Guess it really depends on how you feel. I normally either pull my A4B or my A4E depending on how the match is going. I have the 3 bullpups on my A4B to use which is pretty solid.
similar bomb load was refering to the canberra which has 5x1000lb the saab105G has 4x1000lb while having CCIP and being faster
also i forget the bucc has flare pods
No sane Saab player will choose this loadout
so… what they destroying bases with? because most of them destroy bases
either way it shouldnt be 8.3, it should be 8.7 or 9.0 or the canberras should be at a lower br
