Seriously, what was the idea of GAIJIN adding B-66B?
They added the weakest variant of the B-66, they didn’t add the radar on the tail (MD-1A) to track and range enemy targets.
So, Why add a plane that wasn’t even ready?
What is that bomber doing at 9.0? it isn’t as fast as YaK-28 or Su-7, I find B-66 similar to IL-28 but slightly faster than IL-28 but with no defensive cannons, in my opinion B-66B should be at 8.3 because at 9.0 without flares you are free kill.
There is no bomber spawn as it is in the rest of the bombers in the game.
What are your thoughts on B-66B? Do you think is it at the right BR?
its funny because it had the radar on the dev server, unsure if it was finished or not never really tried that aspect out, most likely because then they’d have to introduce an entire new portion to AI gunners that are guided by computers, so aircraft like the B-29s, P-61s, and well the B-66, for how few aircraft actually have radar/computer driven defensive MGs it just wouldn’t be worth the effort, especially because well, the B-29s are effectively dead weight on a team at 7.0, you don’t really see P-61s in AB, and well the B-66 as you said, does not even have its radar
This is a plane that’s perfect for simulation mode. It has a good climb rate, good speed, and can destroy two bases with a payload of 3000lbs bombs, which destroy ships, aircraft carriers, and airfield modules. Playing it and against the B-66, I think fighters have a problem with this plane. It’s a toy for farmers, to some extent. I have to give it a thumbs up for the nice cockpit.
IL-28 is inferior to B-66 in all ways.
I am sick of Russian propaganda implying that IL-28 is anywhere as close to as good as B-66.
America made a better bomber, get over it.
The only way B-66 moves to 8.3 is if F-86K joins it and IL-28 moves to 7.3 for fairness and balance.
B-66 goes mach 0.95 while carrying two bases of bombs. The only things that have a chance of intercepting it that are subsonic are F-86K and similar fighters.
Mig-15 and 17 for example have no chance of intercepting a B-66.
Yes, Yak-28 and Su-7 are under-BR’d. 9.3 is compressed and needs decompressed.
I never said Il-28 is superior or inferior, I said is similar in-game performance, I’m not talking how they performed in real life, I’m talking how it is in-game.
That is why I said that I find it similar highlighting that is faster than IL-28 but without offensive cannons in the front.
And I do not see any Russian propaganda so far, dunno what you talking about… I’m only comparing it to a plane of similar and that I’ve actually played.
And YES, I agree that GAIJIN must work in decompress not only 9.3 if not BRs from 12.0 to 14.3 too.
My post never mentioned real life, it exclusively spoke about in-game.
IL-28 is 300kph slower with significantly worse acceleration, and worse bomb load.
The 4 engined Arado at 7.3 has more in common with IL-28 than either have with B-66.
Historically, yes.
That is why IL-28 remains 8.0BR in rank 5
and B-66B rot is 9.0BR with rank 6.
In-game, no. Air spawns and lower BR gurnatees better advantage to IL-28 over B-66B.
Nobody brought russian propaganda. Get real.
Sending F-86K to 8.3? Wild movement, mate.
Especially when Vampire FB.5 or Meteor F.8 rots in 8.0BR, and suffers from F-86A-5
I think I was well explained about this last time.
Bombers in this game (especially rank 5 or higher)
-No Contribution to victory thanks to ‘permanent termination of airfield destruction’
-has worse/no A2A capability compared to its fighter counterpart.
-worse A2G capability compared to proper strike aircraft (which do better on destroying ground targets for ticking down the tickets)
There is no way that B-66B can damage the gameplay properly in ARB.
It might be true if we think about the downtier.
but on the upside,
I think I counterclaimed your claim three threads in a row, but you just keep bringing the same theory at all…
My guess is that making it Radar guided or assisted would’ve required too much work for a single aircraft.
The Gun itself is functional, but the rear radar isn’t.
