I made a bug report for missing chaff pods, and it got accepted. B-66B did not get its chaff pods during the 2nd dev server. Hopefully, it will get the chaff pods on patch day.
On a side note, anyone know if the tail turret will actually be radar guided/assisted?
Unfortunately it seems it won’t, and it may not get it for a long time.

Darn, I was hoping It was being added as a tesned for more advanced turrets. It seems like a really random addition otherwise.
This thing would’ve had a viable place if added years ago. Naturally Gaijin sits on their arse waiting to add it after it’s in a position to be DoA as soon as it drops.
Another bomber that isn’t worth it to play - Just like 95% of the rest of the bombers in the game.
Very cool, Gaijin. Another waste of space vehicle to have to waste RP and SL on just to skip it.
B-66 taill gunner will be worthless dead weight when it faces AIM-9B

if they changed it for RB-66C, then it could recieve Chaff pods
but this won’t change much on it survivability.
No thanks. Making it the RB-66C would mean losing its bombing equipment in exchange for electronic components, which would make it irrelevant in the game. I don’t agree with that.
Chaff pods are compatible with the wing pylons on the aircraft regardless of variant, including the B-66B, as confirmed in the flight manual.
so lower its br then
Update dropped, and its even worse
Gaijin decided in their infinite wisdom to not give it radar operation of the gun, you know, the only way to actually operate the gun
