Update 2.57.1.33

[Morvran]

Im not holding my breath that the ASMs would actually target the right spot on Cargo ships though

@syvash

Nobody even noticed the AShM buff

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

[syvash]

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

[WalletWorrier]

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

[ron_23]

bc its currently placeholders

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.

[ron_23]

becasue it is currently placeholders

He 111 H-6, He 111 H-16 — a bug that caused the 250 kg bombs to get stuck in the bomb bay when released has been fixed.

FINALLY. this bugged me for so long i actually stopped using them for a while

[SFmerc]

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

I remembered that like a year ago, I played with my friend and he had this issue. I am glad you fixed it.

@LittleWinston

But it begs the question: why only russia has a diferent plane that is faster, with a short takeoff run and more countermeasures?

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.

[Morvran]

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:

The following new nuclear weaponry carriers have been added to Ground Battles with a session Battle Rating of 13.0 and higher. They carry not only the nuclear bomb itself, but a set of air-to-air missiles, 2 IR guided and 2 ARH guided. The following aircraft have been added initially: ☢F-16A ADF (USA, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, France, Sweden), ☢F-16A MLU (China), ☢F-16D Barak II (Israel), ☢F-2A (Japan), ☢MiG-29SMT (9-19) (USSR).

These are subject to change in the near future to create increased diversity. But we need more time to add the required aircraft, pylons and bombs for them. So as a short-term solution, we have added these aircraft

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