Maybe its time to use my F-2 ADTW in an anti-ship role instead of farming airfield AA with JDAM-ERs

I have had better results with the ASM-1, the radar-guided AShMs seem to target specific components more reliably while thr IR ASM-2 often just hit CoM for me

Why F-16s and MiG-29s and not the actual ground-attack aircraft like the F-15E and Su-34?

I don’t see why it was necessary to make every nation use an F16…
If they can give the F2 a nuke simply for gameplay purposes, why can’t they give nukes to other aircraft to act as the nuke carrier. Like strapping a B61 to the Typhoon or Rafale, or F15E and SU-34 instead of 500 F16s.
The only thing people care about when dropping a nuke is going fast and not being killed. And the F16 is just not a great choice for that. Sure, it has good air to air performance, but you are trying to get to the battlefield, not hit a 5 killstreak.
And sure, the Tornado and F111 shows their age at the highest echelons of top tier, but it’s more so a problem with being able to J out the second you hear that siren to smack the nuke carrier with a Fox 3 from across the map than the older aircraft not being a good fit.
So, I think this shouldn’t have been done. Placeholder or not, it’s a mistake.
becasue it is currently placeholders
FINALLY. this bugged me for so long i actually stopped using them for a while
Btw.
It is fun, that apparentally those new nuke planes are only available if you got 13.0 jet or helo in your own lineup?
Since I play 12.3 or 12.7 lineups, and having 13.0 matches, there is no new nuke planes to be seen

Can you read
I remembered that like a year ago, I played with my friend and he had this issue. I am glad you fixed it.
It isn’t. Mig-29’s takeoff is slightly longer.
& top speed with bombs is the same as F-16s.
Gaijin is also working on replacements to the placeholders for other tech trees.
My biggest issue with that answer is that it should say it in the original post, and it was just by chance the BVV_d happened to actually reply to someone about it.
Something like:

Gaijin can sometimes be really good with their communications and then suck at other times.

Literally called it slightly higher up in the thread.
R-73 IRCCM sucks though
AAM-3s are great but they’re on what is by far the slowest plane there
That is really dumb. Its not like those other aircraft couldnt get 9M either
Gaijin would rather fake a B61 loadout for F-2A and let it be the only AESA nuke carrier than make some unique nuke carrier for the British, French, and Chinese.
“Oh we can give Russian Jap and Israel their unique nuke carrier, but other guys just get copy-paste F
16”
Dont forget only 2 Russian and Jap get IRCCM missile lmao, and one of them is deadly aam3

Say it when they truly change anything
Imao when I imagine how gaijin make the new top-tier nuke:
British, emmm… Tornado is suck even with GR4, let’s copy-paste F-16ADF
French, emmm… Mirage 2000 can only use nuke cruise missile with N type, let’s copy-paste F-16ADF
Chinese, emmm… We don’t know what 4th gen fighter carries the nuke, no need to pay attention, just copy-paste another F-16
Japanese, emmm… copy-paste an F-16… No! We can’t treat our old sugar daddy like that; we need to make a unique badass nuke carrier armed with AESA radar and IRCCM missiles
Bruh
you do know this is for Nuke carriers and not tech tree vics?
