Why doesnt the nuke plane have flares?

Jaguar is on full AB to maintain that speed with a bomb load. The Su-7 is maintaining that speed on dry heat and you also aren’t running with bomb load. Given the lack of flares. You will likely want to limit AB usage with a nuke. Su-7 does likely get up to speed much faster as well.

Re test with both running similar bomb loads to what a nuke would add (2k of bombs?) and test both with the same parameters, either both with wet or both on dry heats.

Also, jaguar or Su-7 Vs Typhoons, F-15s, Rafales, etc is a pretty stupid fight anyway, especially when they have no CMs

Which doesn’t matter cause both are wing rip limited.
They aren’t trying to frag each other either, so their minor differences matter even less.

The question is which can take off and make it to the battlefield without being intercepted first. The importance is take-off speed/run and acceleration to max/high speed.

Which is relevant to the a nuke run

Neither take off, both are airspawned.
Nuke jets stopped taking off last year.
And the turbofan engines of Jag ramp up faster than the turbojet of Su-7, so for in-air “take off” Jag accelerates around as fast.

You could say it has one super-duper flare… ba-dum-dum-tis

Highly effective defensive bombing

Thats just not true nukes jets are still taking off

You could go wide and come in faster rather than flying direct?

And risking being spoted by enemy plane or spaa?
Thats stupid

doing that in top tier you gonna get the nice AMRAAM or 9M to the face.

You’re the one picking issue wit thier top speed…

That’s not the reason for your failure.

And that’s a consequence of the choice…

There’s no true need to be complaining about the speed.

Wdym
Jaguar is much slower and thats not fair
Its a clear russian bias

im not failing
if i get nuke in time to drop it i drop it
The problem is that its taking like 1.5 min until u reach the battlefiels from the airfield while on su7 its like at least 15 sec less if not more which is a huge diffrance when there is a power bleed

Truly the worst test of all time…

Test both with the same payload and full afterburner. SU-7 WILL be faster.

either way, SU-7 has a much better acceleration and will beat the Jaguar to 1100km/h, which is all that matters in dropping the nuke before intercepted or game is over

I do believe they should be upgraded up to Tornado’s, F-111 and SU-24 (and other nations vehicles like the mirage 2000D and JH-7) + with countermeasures god damn it

The reason I don’t know, maybe it’s a reminder that going for nukes is not rewarding, 30 000 silver lions is nothing.

In my opinion, only the Jaguar should be changed, all those heavy striker/bomber aircraft are pretty much a flying rock, it needs to rely on the afterburner without losing altitude.

If I tested both with the same payload Jaguar goes faster cause it gets lighter, and the Su-7 gets heavier.
Also Tornado equivalent for Soviets is Mig-27.

So why is it you’re having trouble with the speed?

Envy in comparison isn’t a valid reason…

I just said if i had more speed i could drop the nuke before the game ends

If it’s that tight, then it just wasn’t meant to be…
