24,000 LB BOMB LOAD | The Insane Bomb Load Of The F-111 Aardvark 

The pylons were designed to be able to each carry the GBU-28, a 5000lb laser guided bunker busting bomb. it be real neat to see those added

The 111 was a HUGE plane that could carry a lot more ordnance than Gaijin allows. The real trick up this bird’s sleeve was to send 8-12 of them. 1 fast pass and everything was flame and ash in nothing flat and they were long gone.

The f-111 had 6 x 750lbs on the outer pylons but gaijin removed them. The 6x750's are 2000kg whereas the 3000lb are 1300kg i think.

Phly, if you were wondering about the full bombload.... this thing could carry 6 nuclear bombs, and the bomb bay can only hold 2... so guess where the 4 others are fixed to... XD

Wait till fly learns the carrying capacity of the B1 bomber, the successor to this beast. It carries more than a b52.

i found this : Each wing was equipped for four underwing pylons. The inner two pylons on each wing would rotate to align with the fuselage, while the outer two were fixed. Each pylon had a capacity of 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg). Various bombs and missiles could be carried on the pylons. Auxiliary fuel drop tanks with 600 US gallons (2,300 L) capacity each could be fitted.[41]

I love how the airbrake is also the door for the mainwheels.

its simple, phly upload: i click

hey phly, checked f-111 history of actual loadouts and omg it can carry just about anything...for real...:) go aardvaarks lol

The sheer disgust and envy that got on my face when I saw those 6 kills.. It's never a bad experience to watch one of your videos, congrats dude

The strela missile is indeed broken. The devs are on crack because they gave it irccm essentially. Even from 5kms you can barely flare it because the seeker head is so small it doesn’t see your flares. It’s absolutely stupid that a plane like the Demon should have to face it when it’s a 20G unflareable missile and that plane doesn’t even have flares.

The Royal Australian Air Force used to fly the F-111C more than capable of carrying that load.

Really happy you made this video, my mother and father met in the air force, in England, they both worked on the F-111, my mother was a fuselage mechanic, and my father was a weapons loader. Thank you for making this.

Love the ground pound in your videos Phly! Maybe do some more of these cas ones!

Never expected to be reminded of KSP on a WT video lol. I may have to make a kerbald Aardvark

Keep up thee great videos man!

IRL the F-111A is able to carry 50 750lbs bombs, honestly don’t know why War Thunder won’t let us have that

using the heavy's voice for the SU was perfect.

You need to do a full squad of F111 of 50x 750 Bombs in grb.

On the Dev server the F-111 wings would rip with ease with that much weight on the wings the second you thought you wanted to make a slight turn. Also, I am surprised that Gaijin has not made it to where we can change the bomb timer while in flight cause this is a IRL thing as pilots can set a timer while in flight.

"We just have to go away for a long time." Man, this sentence made me spill a very exquisit singe malt. 😂

That plane seriously looks ridiculous with that loadout xD

that's crazy Steve

Phly beein a straight savage Rollin threw a battle with 3 guys doesn’t even slow down and befor his team realizes , hessss outta there with the kill befor the dust/smoke fades away lol

Definitely enjoyed 😎

Phly daily is back, baby 😂😂

Glad youre back and doing well. Ps. I get frustrated with the game sometimes and watch you to cool off. Gets me right back in the game

OIII PHLY! There's me screaming in my room! 6 kills with 3 bombs! It's such a joy to watch you play!

Nice drops!! lol gotta go away for awhile

Great video

I enjoyed your video FlopDailied!

This was such an enjoyable video to watch, thank you for the laughs.

F-111F could haul 31,000 pounds of ordinance on 9 external plus 2 internal hardpoints. Maximum theoretical destructive loadout would be twenty B61 Thermonuclear bombs. At about half of its maximum weight payload.

Yo Phly, the Strala has 2 (well 3..) guidance modes : IR, contrast seeking and an auto mode. The IR is just like any other IR seeking missile, you can lock on low altitude and high altitude targets, the missile has ECCM but on rare occasions it can be flared. With the contrast mode, you will only be able to lock when there is a good contrast between your target and the background, so usually when the plane is high and there is only the sky in the background. If you get a lock with this mode, the missile won't care about flares at all. The auto mode will pick which guidance mode by itself.

I’m just getting back into war thunder and I enjoyed it lol

Awesommeeeeee your backkkkkk

0:46 The guy's ID in Chinese means "I'll take you out in one shot - really" LOL

Phly uploads get my phlobber phlopping

you deserve that like for the ksp reference

Love the content Phly, keep it up! Combo time, non premium p61 black widow and m4a2. Attempt 264

According to Wikipedia, F-111C can tak 28.5 tonnes of fuel and ammo with a max takeoff weight of 49.9 tonnes. I drive trucks, and I have yet to drive a truck that is more than half the weight of an F-111C's payload. WTF America?!?!

10:06 F-114 galaxyfighter engaged

Never thought id get a ksp and tf2 reference in one video.

I saw him playing the Abrams and my PTSD immediately kicked in since i fight it and the T-80B almost daily in my Leo 1A5 and A1A1

Arcade thunder, where people drop MOABS on single tanks.

Welcome back

a KSP reference on phly? daaaaamn

F-111F, 100,000 pounds (45,000 kilograms). Up to four nuclear bombs on four pivoting wing pylons, and two in internal weapons bay. Wing pylons carry total external load of 25,000 pounds (11,250 kilograms) of bombs, rockets, missiles, or fuel tanks.(extra fuel can be a weapon if you drop and reload in ukraine and fly back to moscow to drop more)

The fact it can also carry 50 500lb bombs is even more crazy to me. Yes it's probably way worse than 8 3000lb bombs but it just sounds so much more insane... 50 bombs... and it's not like 500lb is a tiny bomb either.

I remember when I started watching phly and I didn’t have an Xbox and now I’m about to research the f16

this thing is carrying seven whole 'ninty-four toyota corollas under it's wings

Strela is insanely good. Ultimate CAS revenge SPAA. Generally, if you're still visible in the sky when I spawn back in I'm going to get you. There are some helis you just can't lock, and it sucks not having a radar, and it's not all-aspect so it can be tough to lock planes coming straight at you until they get close. If you want to kill strela get up high while out of range turn your engines off and dive straight at the Strela. It won't be able to lock you.

The RAAF( Royal Australian Air Force) called it the flying pig due to it fuel capacity.

Yooooo phly!!!

3 bombs, 6 kills thats nutty dude, im about 20k rp from the f105, so only 320k to go before i can get my hands on this behemoth of a plane

F-111 is a legend

Vark go boom Boom boom vark

10:15 PhlyDaily: "Just According to Keikaku!" Translator's note: "Keikaku means 'plan'"

ngl u should make a video on the strela lol

12 ton payload damn

Impressive :D

PhlyDaily? More like PhlySometimes.

imagine how much fun this game would be if things like the Su-25, 2s38, T-80 were actually balanced realistically

and strela : **exist**

Day 97 of asking PHLY to play The Last Tiger in Battlefield V for German Suffering and Glorious Glorifica

very big loadout

What a thing of beauty the F111 the plane the Soviets feared the most..........................and for good reasons

2 bombs pn the puter wing: can sweep 2 gun pods on the outer wing attached to the same pilons: Cant sweep

I'm glad we have the ground involved today. Air rb makes me go feral

Phly, you should give the game Nuclear Option a look. It's in early access on Steam and has some fun flight sim-lite elements and let's you drop nukes for days on enemy bases and convoys.

Welcome back Phly Day: 191 Back to business: My Request: Btw i saw you have the M48 Suuuuuuuuuuper but you never even made one vid about it so why don't you do M48 Super aka Go-Kart Patton (at least in arcade PvE🙃) And because you want to play a combination take the IL-28 out with its FAB 3000 for some multikills -Phly Decal left side of turret -Tigor on left side of turret roof

The Aardvark can carry Nuclear weapons IRL so I wonder if WT will make it the new Nuke aircraft.

Hardpoints: 9 in total (8× under-wing, 1× under-fuselage between engines) plus 2 attach points in weapons bay with a capacity of 31,500 lb. also could carry the b43 and b61 which are both nuclear

You made my day better they left fsu out of the cfp

phly we need a review on the new trailer

wassup phly

6:40 I'M ACTUALLY SPEECHLESS DUDE!!! Like... Shit man...

it has an internal bay for more fuel or a nuke a believe. They used the internal bay to do long range strikes on Iran or was it Lybia in the 90s I believe,.

High risk, high reward, maximum fun😭😁

I have the Aardvark unlocked. I just need to grind enough SL to buy it.

F-111 with outer wings ripped off looks an awful lot like an F-18. LOL

YO THE F-15 AND SU-27 JUST DROPPED

MOAR STRUTS! MOAR BOOSTERS! MOAR BOMBS!

lol I used the 4 3k and 1 750 with guns in this set up, but those strelas are so OP!!! Russian bias XD

You need a rockets only load out, it can carry 500+ rockets

Steve, you sound like TF2 character

Phlydaddy

Phly, you've brought back the "Everybody" intro right? Well, there has been a certain song kinda stuck _In My Head_ phor a while that you could also bring back! Attempt # 621 The song i mean is Virtual Riot - In My Head (feat. PRXZM)

The F-111 Aardvark. actually a more effective plane at CAS than the A-10 during its service life.

Did I just hear a KSP reference!!!

i guess when they designed the vark they wanted as much boom potential possible 😅

idk if youve played it yet but you should do ground strike with the a-36 with all the 50cals

Hey phly could you chechout the leporad 2 plo its the very top tier of germany and my fav tank would wery much enjoye the vid

I dont think you can go bigger than B1 or B43 in internal bays? Those thins may ruin many things!

What sight do you use ?

xray view is crazy, its just all fuel tanks lmao

What russian BR would you recommand? i reached 5.7 but i face full uptiers like 90% of the time and it suucks soo bad against germany 6.7

Day 113, we've seen the Sturmtiger and ASU-57 at top tier, Now we want to see the RBT-5 at top tier WITH OddBawz and Spookston, with air support from Defyn(thanks to @Torrengen for the Defyn idea).

At 5:54 the game starts
