It's "under investigation" as of now. I'm not sure why it is taking so long, because they clearly did carry those irl (plenty of images) and even if it's was not a usual thing, since when did that stop Gaijin ever? That or the BR of the C model needs to drop, 11.3 at least, both air and ground.
@@Wotplaya4 It happens with every update with GB vehicles. The jaguar gr1 was meant to get philmat pod (mostly the same pod as the aj37) but still doesn't have it after 2 years of promising it.
Wrong engines and power, shouldn't rip at any speed it can achieve, have aim9M as it never used L and has the wrong radar. Pretty sure Max internal fuel is also wrong as it had some changes made for Australia over the American designs.
What did you expect mate ? It's like the hunger f6, the new hunter f6 is 9.0, the british hunter f6 is sitting at 9.7 with the f58. And the f1 is 9.0 Or the f4Junk.
Regarding the ground loadout, the C is just much worse. The guided bombs on the C are only laser guided models, which is fine I guess, except that Gaijin completely butchered Paveways a long while ago and any long range designation makes the bomb potentially just never acquire the laser. I mean you can try it, try lasing a paveway from 15km+ out, the seeker is just not going to pick it up or only in the very last moments, and then compare it to lasing at
You also have to give up all anti-air capabilities in the C if you want to carry the paveways, whereas the F can carry two 9ls with its ground loadout.
This plane is amazing You can arrive above the enemy team before they’ll ever expect you and sling 9Ls from above. Thank goodness the Vulcan isn’t off centered yet. And yeah it’s absolutely hilarious that people think they can chase the F-111, like bro you ain’t catching me while I’m going Mach 1.32 on the deck.
staying on the deck (I have my radar alt warn me at 50ft) and almost NOTHING will touch you unless someone gets lucky with an IRCCM missile or guns. It's hilarious being a blitz fighter in it as well cause with the increased thrust you can keep up in turns against F-14s and F-4s and I even managed to match an F-5C in a scissors.
@@nightshadedawn ikr, it’s slow speed rate fight is insane, especially with landing flaps at low speeds. For a flying brick, it can turn pretty damn well with those flaps, makes me wonder how a bigger winged F-111 with the better engines would preform mwahaha!
At 30K Mach 2.5 is possible with the F111F. I have been having a blast out running F104. My favorite tactic though is to carry a bomb load, fly on the deck and fly a far arc to get on the flank. With its speed you end up behind the enemy, you are able to drop a base and fire off your 2 sidewinders. What is interesting is nobody seems to flare because I guess they figure it is a teammate shooting at the enemy. You almost always get two free kills like this and then you have a 20mm with 2K rounds. Which is insane. I only carry an hour of fuel which is plenty for most matches.
If Gaijin wants to add an F-111 that might actually be useful in Air RB, they should add the F-111B. The only problem would be balancing it, since the F-111B is basically a Tomcat with no gun and no dogfighting capability to speak of, it would either be a menace to everything it faces or be entirely useless. In theory it may have been able to trade two AIM-54s for an M61 in the bay, but I'm not sure about that.
@@DrRussian Well at least it would have some utility, the MiG-25's missiles aren't nearly as good as the AIM-54, and the MiG absolutely does not have a gun. At least the 111B might could carry one in its bay. Wouldn't be easy to balance, but MiG-25 would be in a worse spot.
The main advantage of this thing is that it's so fast in a straight line that it's theoretically supposed to be able to dodge(older) SAMs by simply flying straight. If you could drop bombs at supersonic in this thing, then it's speed would be worth something in GRB
@@QuilavaMan Yeaaaah but like, it's not 1.6 on the deck capable so the speed factor of the F111F is greatly diminished as it requires you to slow down on approach, thus making you vulnerable
DEFYN when he isn't able to get 12 kills in his massive bomber with limited missiles and actually no fighting performance: "Absolute irredeemable shitbrick that's got a turning circle as big as your mother that will get you smacked out of the air with a missile about as hard as you get beat by your stepdad."
1:27 the F-111F also carries the AGM-65Gs and AGM-65Ds which in my opinion are VERY good in ground RB, you can carry 6 of the 65Ds as well as guided bombs with it, so I think that makes it ultimately better than the F-111C which don't have them for CAS
@@wolfroze9703 I'm aware. Still much worse than the f111f at the same br. I have both and the difference is super noticeable. At sea level the f111f can reach mach 1.31 and even rip its own wings, f111c can barely reach 1.22
I looked at one of those elevator stomp turns, you pulled almost 2.5g's just in deceleration. Thats the equivalent of going from ~70kph to zero in a second
Falling asleep with Defyn, marvelous. Also very nice gameplay! I didn't think it was boring at all. Although I don't really play jets, it's still nice to see.
I came to the very conclusion that the most anticipated/cool looking a plane is, the worse its flight model in war thunder Example: J7W1, Su27, MiG29, sea fury, aardvark T posing wings are supposedly something to counter a massive airframe's tendency to lose speed in maneuvers (that's why large aircraft have swinging wings) Gaijin fookin up Black and white with no inbetween "so busted it kept up with the f14a" to "so shid it is able to lose all speed while getting no advantage over it"
I would like to nominate the F4D-1 Skyray as a close contender for speed-bleed (at least below 900km/h, above that it locks up and keeps its energy surprisingly well) :D
Every F-111 is also missing a lot of engine power, the F-111A should have roughly ~8250kgf per engine, which would give it similar but still slightly worse acceleration as something like the F-14A, the F-111F engines should be ~11300kgf which would just make it even faster than it already is, and the F-111C should have ~9400kgf, not as much as the others BUT, the F-111C weighs nearly the same as the F-111F, so it would still fly worse than the F-111A since the A is considerably lighter
Love the vertical stabilizer fuel tank lmao Edit: what fucking snail magic is going on to make your indicated airspeed a full three hundred kmh slower than your actual speed
Why does my early Vark’s Vulcan aim 400m under the target ? Like my crosshairs is somewhere but t he bullets don’t fly to where the crosshairs are aimed at pair that up with bullet drop over range I can’t aim with it . But the gun pods aim on the crosshairs just fine .
F-111f is honestly the best bomber in game I love playing this thing. People just fly it wrong. Mouse controls should almost never be used. Stick high and keep it in simplified. Feather your turns
The flight model 100% feels like fantasy bullshit where they stuffed the keyboard up their arse, drank 30 bottles of Vodka then had some Tacobell and took whatever the keyboard spat out in the next morning's shit as the flight model.
With the new radar altitude option, at how many meters should i set it, i assume this is for multipathing, but i'm not sure at which height exactly multipathing starts "working" after the new update.
The F-111F is the F-104 playstyle in its final form. You are the fastest thing with wings by a stupid margin (Slamming through Mach 2.4 in a slight climb at 13,000m level fast). But while your speed is YES, your speed retention is just NO. You have allot of countermeasures, you have unholy speed, you have Aim-9L's, a gun, and das it. Goofy ahh plane. I want it
I meant f111f goes 1600+ at 0:56 if it wasn't obvious
