Now that it sits at 11.3, it’s easy to grind it. Once you get the MK83, you can take out 2 bases and I had a few games where I was able to take out 4 or more bases.
The plane sits at a much easier br than the F111C (that face the F/A18 early spam).
Nonetheless, this plane only purpose is to bring it to GRB once you get the PGM…
I’d recommend only taking 5-6 Mk83s or 5 Mk13s.
The amount of rewards you get is heavily reduced when you take more bombs and it heavily affects your FM.
Thanks for the advice, yes, apparently it requires 5 mk83 per base so I’ll drop less and the remaining ones will be used against ground unit.
Yeah, that is another option, but the rewards are straight reduced the more bombs you take:
So if you can reliably get 2x base kills, then take more, otherwise, you are just straight better off taking enough bombs for 1 base and then gunstrafing said AI targets instead of using bombs.
Alternatively, you can run Seagles or PGMs on the wing pylons if you really want to maximise your loadout, but im of mixed opinion about whether its worth the performance degredation
Thx again, I’ll change the loadout and will carry only 10 mk83 to maximise the RP and use the cannon for the rest.
Anyway, it’s pleasantly easy to grind this plane right now.
Yeah. 11.3 is definetly a more chill BR for it. Will be excellent if they ever do a decompression.
But in the meantime, just need to get the GR1s engine sorted (its the only one of all 9? IDS Tonkas with the weaker Mk101 engines for no good reason)
