and then move it to 10.3?
sure if the stuff it gets is good enough
I wanna see you spading it at 10.3 when all you get initially would be just dumb bombs.
ok oh well in air it would prob be like 9.0 so i would just grind it there
Seems like it would be practically impossible to balance, and I’m not sure if russia has a good equivalent to add with this, we can’t just forget about russia
Lets not get into that please
I can indeed. On this version of the B-52H, no. On other versions on the B-52H, yes but it’s up to Gaijin to add them.
The reason is that what we currently have in-game is a version from before 1991 as it still has the rear mounted defensive turret which was removed from all B-52’s after an incident of friendly fire between a B-52G and an F-4G. F-4G was conducting a SEAD mission and detected an enemy radar system which was within the flightpath of a B-52G. As the F-4G fired off an AGM-88 HARM missile at the contact the B-52G’s gun assisting radar detected the F-4G and locked it believing it to be an enemy fighter. As a result the fired HARM caught the radar signal of the B-52G and targeted that instead of it’s legitimate target. The HARM missile then struck the B-52G blowing apart it’s tail but the B-52G was able to make a successful emergency landing. As a result of this the tail guns where removed from the B-52’s still in service which was completed in mid-1991.
The version we have was only equipped with unguided bombs and a variety of nuclear weapons such as various nuclear air launched cruise missiles and standard nuclear bombs. The only weapon we are missing from this version that is compatible with the game is AGM-86C Air Launched Cruise Missile which is a non-nuclear variant.
We could see a TT version of the B-52H with it’s modern armament but lacking it’s turret but with stronger ECM but we will have to wait and see what Gaijin decides to do with strategic bombers.
It could get the 117 treatment, same br for sim and air, and get a new br for naval and ground
Bomber sight, tpod and CCRP. It looks kinda solid in GRB, a bit niche sure, but usable. Put it to 10.3 and you might as well delete it
what is the point of a targeting optic if you cant use it for anything but spotting
This is an older B-52H, so it won’t receive them.
A later B-52H could come.
the B-52H got guided munitions in 86
For spotting stuff.
In something like the Canberra or similar bombers around that BR, you need to find the target using the bomber sight.
With a tpod, you can find someone from long distance much easier, target them, and then lineup a drop using CCRP. Then dumping multiple 2k bombs… That’s rather potent for the BR
it doesn’t matter you have enough ordinance to just carpet bomb the whole map
But that’s kinda the point. You don’t need to carpet bomb the entire map blindly, you can carpet bomb somewhere specific
