For background:
Dassault Mirage IV - Force de Frappe - Suggestions - Devs / Passed - War Thunder — official forum
I think this plane would be a great add to the French tree for when you get a nuke in Ground RB and as a tech tree aircraft. It’s high speed and large payload (16 1000lbs bombs) would make it a fun bomber for higher tiers. It’s also just a cool plane.
Agreed, would be a better higher tier nuke aircraft with a nuke bomb with better flight performance.
Passed to the developers recently
More accurate/useful nuke carriers would be nice. An Su-7 or god forbid a Jaguar at 12.7 is insane. No CMs, no speed, no chance.
I’d like to think that means something. But it doesn’t.
It does mean a little bit of something, because it means this specific aircraft has or will exist for at least a short period of time in the developers brain, which gives it a chance higher than zero of being added
No I’m not coping that hard wdym
I was overthinking this because it doesn’t have any self-protection armament (like F-111 and Su-24) , on the other hand…we have F-117 in game and it can be way less impactful in Air RB for example , even in the low rank it is.
So , no practical reason it can’t be in game from a gameplay standpoint.
gaijin social passing a suggestion to developers:
Hopefully it will come alongside some of the other strategic bombers in the rumored Strategic Bombing mode/mission type
id love to see the VTOL one, if i remember right its still fastest VTOL jet that ever flew.
The VTOL version is indeed the fastest vertical takeoff aircraft in the world. However, it has never received any weapons. I tried to make a suggestion for it a few months ago, but it was immediately rejected.
ahhh what a shame.
maybe for aprils fools they could add dumb planes like this monstrosity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1TTcjaypZQ
The Griffon is fun but the Leduc planes are even better in my opinion
What the actual fuck is this plane, lmao. I love it.
This is one of the planes designed by Leduc, these are some early 50s prototypes with ramjets.
They are ugly as hell but they fly and go in theorie pretty fast (for the time)
This is what happen when you ask a person that is obsess with ramjets to design a plane. And this is the second prototype.
These look like 1930’s ideas for alien space ships.
The worst thing is that it dates from around this time, the theory for the operation of the engine dates from 1913 and the first test of the engine dates from 1936
Wasn’t it only proposed but never built? iirc the only vtol planes built by France were the Balzac V and the Mirage IIIV
And I’d love to see the latter in the game tbh
don’t you want an other naval update that try to solve naval statu with cool ship rather than a strategic bombing mission rework with real high precision target or industrial site (city perhaps isn’t it dresden) and a lot of very cool strategic bomber like the b52 b2 tu22 tu95 and more?
