What high BR Planes to get a Tali for, to do Basebombing runs in AirRB? (All Nations requested)

Hello everyone,
i am currently looking forward to buy Talis for every Nations best Base Bombing Rank 7/8 plane.

I havent really done it ever, but recently i noticed that i like the german f104G alot thanks to being able to get some, not little amount, of bonus RP from bombing a base at the start.

And i kinda lookl forward to get more planes that do this trick, but i have no clue what is meta right now on rank 7/8 planes, i dont play it often enough and it feels like it always shifts so super fast.

Talismans only really worth it if you’re gonna use that vehicle for a while and to help unlock others in the same rank, +1 or -1.

It depends on what you want to use them for. But if it’s just getting RP (you don’t get the SL bonuses like a premium), then really just look at the vehicles payloads and select ones with a wide variety of ground ordnance.

Still a tad confused what your purpose for it is though. Learn to dogfight, you’ll have more fun 🤓

Grind method comparison. Get better rewards in AirRB - Game Discussion / Realistic Battle - War Thunder — official forum

Don’t focus on bombing, by itself it’s the worst grind method .

But u can do it watching a movie :D

You’ll be enjoying neither. If the movie doest call for your full interest, nor the game. Why are you watching that movie or playing WT?

Do what you want but I don’t understand why people enjoy spending hours doing mindless stuff

Dogfight at toptier is… well… no thank you. Not a fan of the dynamic at these BRs.
Thats why i want a no brain usable grinder at rank 7/8.

Easy to answer!
Cause we want the OP CAS for GRB, but dont give a damn about soulless ARB.

I would want to not need the OP CAS, and get a Tank Only mode, but that dosnt excist and gaijin forces you to play the OP CAS if u want to win.

In Short: To have fun with OP CAS in GRB.

Gaijin isn’t forcing you. Play just SPAA and tanks if you don’t enjoy flying. Who cares if your WR gets lower by 10% or something?

I don’t think it’s worth it just for that. In terms of economy, you will save much more SL by just not doing that CAS grind.

Anyway, if you are really bent on it. I can take a look into it. What nations do you intend to grind?

I stuck a Talisman on my Tonrado Gr4. That can be quite good fun and is wierdly more effective imo than the Tornado Gr1 because you actually encounter a lot less other players base bombing.

Jag Gr1A, Buc S2B and Tornado Gr1 just arent good enough imo to warrant a Talisman for ARB (though quite good in ASB)

F-111C I’ve not played yet, but I think its okay in ARB.

Phantoms arent worth it.

All nations. As u might have seen, i play all as long as its GRB. And 10% WR is insane much.

Assuming you just want to constantly and reliably bomb a base and be ahead of your team and then die and repeat with minimal skill/attention requirement, here are best options for each nation I can think of.

US:
F-105D.
-Its rank 7 at 10.0, which can research top tier.
-Strike aircraft so you get a higher base bombing multiplier.

Carry 2 napalm bombs for 1 base and then head on anything you see and spam your vulcan, or use ballistic computer to quickly kill some ground targets after bombing. The point is to die as fast as possible and join the next match while trying for a kill or some ground pounding. Going to base and bombing again is not as time/reward efficient.

F-111F. Also works good, very fast but you will encounter more missiles that pose a treath early game, like the R-27ER that might damage you even when multipathing, or the phoenix from the F-14A

If you don’t care to grind Rank 8, use the F-104C instead with the same strategy, its better than the F-105 but you can’t research Rank 8 efficiently with it.

Germany:

Rank 7
-F-104G, same strategy as before. MiG-23 MLA also works but for pure passive bombing, the F-104 is better since its lower BR as just as fast, both are Rank 7 so you can research Rank 8.

USSR:

Rank 7
-Mig-23M at 11.0, its a worse MLA/MLD, but it’s also lower BR and still very fast.

Rank 6
-Su-7B/BKL, strike aircraft so also higher rewards for bombing.

Britain: (Britain kinda sucks for this, lack of very fast bombers and/or no napalm options)

Rank 7

-F-111C, is your best option. Bring 6x500lbs in 1 pylon and 1x2000lbs in the other. Its the least draggy option with the best multiplier for 1 base.

Japan:

Rank 6
-F-104J

Rank 7
-F-4EJ, it sucks but its the only viable option for it.
Because it sucks, you might consider using the F-16AJ instead at Rank 8 but you will often have to avoid phoenixes/fakours or other fox3 missiles and it’s not as braindead as playing lower tiers, and in downtiers you still get outpaced by Mig-23s and F-104s

China:

Rank 7
-F-104G it’s the worst F-104 for this because it is 10.7 with no countermeasures, but you still can reliably get to a base before anyone else. If you want to be faster than the other F-104s, carry just 2 napalm bombs and nothing else.

Italy:

Rank 6
-F-104G

Rank 7
-F-104S
-MiG-23MF

France:

Rank6
-F-84F if you get airspawn

Rank7
-F-104G
-F1C, very fast too, not as fast as the F-104 with napalms but you also get 2x magic2 for 1 or 2 brainead kills. Carry 2x2000lbs and a single 1000lbs and it’s just enough for a base.
-F-1C-200 is the premium option, very good grinder overall, same as the F1C.

Sweden:

Nothing… Absolutely crickets. Sorry. The only viable option is the Rank 5 Saab-105G/OE with airspawn.

Israel:

Rank 6
-A-4H, a very fast Skyhawk at 8.3, 2x napalm and a single 250lbs is enough for a base, also strike aircraft with higher rewards.

Rank 7 (not great options here)
-Nesher
-Kfir C.7, very fast but F-104s and MiG-23 will still outpace you, the kfir doesn’t have napalm and has lower rip speeds.
-Kfir canard is an ok premium option for this.

Tips:
-Carry just enough fuel to bomb and last for a couple minutes after.
-If you can’t reach bases in time before your teammates get them, consider lowering your payload, bombing 50 or 75% of a base is better than 0% and you also have higher reward multiplier up to 8 or 10 (strike aircraft) to compensate, so it’s not as bad.
-DO NOT go back to base to repeat, just try to get some kills or ground pound and die fast to join the next match.

Thanks alot, u basically confirmed what i had in mind already and that the 104g is kinda good for it already and will be good on all nations where it has some loadout and countermeasures.

I guess F104S/G are a good valit solution.

On russia, what about Su17? And recom M or MLD more?

On China, Japan (at rank 7), Israel, i am not sure really. Isreal i got to rank 7 thanks to the mindless players facing my Ayits Aim 9D, and everything at Rank 7 looks worse tbh.

Any suggestions on Fighter planes for these Nations that are currently on top of the Meta and not insanely behind like my beloved F9F-8 or Mig 19 or F8E or or or… these planes really get smacked in the face when uptiered and that is the most unfun ever lol.

Su17 are slow, the 9.0 ones are good but the latter ones will even be outpaced by the phantom spammers.

The MLD is a much better jet than the M, but for strictly bombing grind I would go for the M just because its considerably lower BR and almost as fast, the low amount of CMs won’t be a big issue for that kind of gameplay since you don’t plan on lasting a long time anyway. At 11.0 you have much better chances to reach your bomb target than 11.7

What do you mean?

Well, when braindead bombing isnt a good option, then i guess i have to do the grind with fighters, but as powercreep is insane i dunno what fighter at rank 7 is any good and not frustrating in a full uptier.

Like 104G, u can still do smt in a full uptier. But in smt like a Mig19 ure basically a free kill in a uptier.
Or F8E, in a 11.7 match they eat u alife, even as playing as support they know exakly u cant do shit against them.

Do you mean a list of Rank 7 aircraft that can manage fine in full uptiers?

yes

For what nation?

china, sweden, israel and france (if i decite to not play 104g again)

China. Every rank 7 is viable except the F-104 (except for suicide bombing runs). The best one is the undertiered J7D, then the J7E and the J-8B are also good, depending on what playstyle you want. Even the Q-5L is viable if you have good aim.

France. F1C (the only good jet at rank 7 tbh)

Sweeden. JA37C and Mig21bis, the J35XS is a great plane in a downtier, but uptier not so much so maybe avoid that one… Sweeden is a nation that I don’t have experience in high tiers, so take my view on the J35XS and JA37C with a grain of salt.

Israel. They all suck. I skipped that rank almost entirely. I researched it with the Ayit and then suffered in the kfir C7 just to research the Netz and went from there. But the 11.3 Kurnass might be the best of the bunch, it’s just an F-4E anyway. But instead of the netz I recommend the F-16D for the first Rank 8 to grind for, at 13.3 it’s great.

These are all the jets that are not hopeless targets in full uptiers, you can’t expect great results when uptiered, but you can still do ok.
