Stock to Spaded - F-111A Aardvark - Should You Buy/Spade It? Specializes in Everything [War Thunder]

[@StealthCloudchaser]

I want to mention that Stock you get 12 500lb bombs that allow you to destroy a single base and earn you alot of RP to help you earn more Modifications.

[@teagenallerdice9040]

A single base? Lmao nah two bases with full 500lb load

[@pyro1047]

​@@teagenallerdice9040Maybe at low BR, but at high tier it's definitely 10-12x500lb Mk82's. As someone grinding the F-111A and F-16A right now trust me, I know.

[@phoenixkitchen2452]

The f111 gets 24 500's stock lol

[@Raiders1917]

​@phoenixkitchen2452 No it really deosn't. You don't get the long rack until you get the Mk82, or the M117 modification researched.

[@leilanz8325]

Apparently you have radar aim for the gun, so you should definitely use the radar to lock targets and shoot.

[@PyroRaptor841]

It doesn't get ACM mode so getting a lock while dogfighting is incredibly unreliable

[@AZ-dj1ni]

Have Radar Gun Lead but don't have ACM😂😂

[@Zyoher]

How does that work? Do I just pick someone out flying in, lock them on the standard radar mode, and I get an arcade lead indicator?

[@leilanz8325]

I've seen it on Tim's Variety videos. You lock and a lead indicator shows up. It's not as exact as the top tier ACM that everyone keeps mentioning, but it's a pretty good indicator of where to aim

[@CptLang97]

​@@ZyoherIt's not a lead indicator, it shows an impact point like the ballistic computer

[@dyeshan221]

i would actually appreciate a fully spaded game in Ground-realistic as well after the air matches

[@bobjeffmcmac7457]

the VARK is very fun in simulator battles, if you play one of the large maps (canyon, afghanistan, vietnam) you can just cruise around bombing bases, and hopefully avoid getting shot down

[@Zyoher]

Do you get a bomb sight in sim?

[@bobjeffmcmac7457]

@@Zyoher not quite, but you can switch the sight mode to "bombs" and it acts as CCIP, but it has to be within your gun sight so you sorta have to dive bomb

[@alexis1451]

This is my current grind loadout and it's working out pretty well. It still allows for the wings to sweep back and will get you a base + some bots as long as you don't die in the initial merge.

[@professionalnoob3464]

Have you tried putting bombs only on outer pilons? It make sense that wing sweep doesn't work when you still have bombs on the inner side (since they are the closest to the hull).

[@Ghost.R125]

I have it and if you put bombs on the outer pylons you can’t sweep at all and if you put it on the inner ones you can sweep about 80%

[@professionalnoob3464]

[@TomPrickVixen]

Why don't u just use the electronic gun site? Its the lowest BR plane that has it! Not sure if I want to replace the A-10 or even the F-105 with this as CAS, do to it only has bumb-bombs (and few of the worst AGMs on 10.3!), so its a pure air RB plane for me. + on 10.3 (and above) i can just pick a decent helicopter.

[@Truck_Company_84]

Awesome video Tank, can you do the F-111C Vark next?

[@factsforlife0O0]

Can it get Aim-9H x4

[@Dragonfyre.]

Few things. This thing is incredibly fast while clean, hell even with a light load it’s still nearly uncatchable. It is a terrible fighter, the best case is lobbing a few missiles at people on the way back to lane. Optimal load is either 7x750 with a gun for 1 base, or 14x750 for two bases. The 3000lb are not even worth using due to their poor base reward.

[@Zyoher]

Why does the 3000lb give less reward? How do I check this myself?

[@Dragonfyre.]

@@Zyoher they give less than half the rewards. bombing a base with 2x3000lb nets you 1250rp. bombing a base with 7x750 gives you 2560rp.

[@jokersam8625]

Was this in realistic I saw the bombing target reptical but no lead target for the planes so I'm curious what's going on

[@bobjeffmcmac7457]

it is realistic, the bomb target is something a lot of modern jets have called CCIP (continously-computed impact point) and it just tells you where the bombs will hit, like in arcade.

[@MrKelenek]

One of the best way to use the aim9b is to shot dont those annoyingly op frontaspect missiles, aim9bs for me on my bombing runs are a defensive tools, no joke.

What I've seen going against a couple (cause not spending the GE to use the millions of free xp I have to just unlock it) - it seriously needs some better Sidewinders, which would be historically appropriate based on when it entered service, cause in Air AB where I tend to play, it's only slightly worse target practice than the 105 cause it has flares (and at least this one has the automated deploy system without cheats).

[@InterstellarTaco]

Speed is the only reliable defensive tool it has. The missiles are horrible, the bomb load is decent if you bring enough to still allow the wings to sweep. It has to drop below mach 1 to drop its bombs which enables anything to kill it as it takes forever to regain speed. And if it brings a full bomb load it gets killed instantly. Its not too fast. 9es are still going to be garbage and even with Js it likely wont fair a whole lot better.
