[Reupload/Fixed] Tu-160 Blackjack Is a Wrecking Ball l Broken Arrow Multiplayer Gameplay 

On this map it's great cause you have the water and currently no water units are in the the game or if there ever will be so if you bring it from the coast you will likely get most of your shots off. On the open field ones I would agree cause you have AAA or SAMs at random places. We also don't have many of the US weapons in so I think maybe a B2 might be viable in this sense with its ECM and stealth. We will have to see in the release build.

that would require the cruise missiles to do actual damage right now there a light breeze in the wind when ever they hit anything its such a joke right now i have seen infantry tanks arty and building get hit by multiple and they did NOTHING to them there dog shit dont waste your points on them

I think the issue is that the APS oddly work against cruise missiles when they shouldn't. I've had some good success with them targeting light vehicles, SAMs and infantry which is what i use them for. now i don't know if having them at a lower altitude will work with them releasing their weapons. Also, do what you should do in warno or wargame. Take a SEED aircraft in first or something comparable and then follow it up with CAS or a Tu-160.

Pick the plane, choose what to paradrop, call it in. Once the plane is on the map: 1- Immediately send it to low altitude (V key). 2- Prep a drop zone (press O key on the map, drag and let go). Be aware of what the starting and end points of the drop are because your plane will maneuver to follow this to the letter. 3- Shift+B to tell the plane to head home. Shift+whatever key is ACTUALLY AN IMPORTANT THING TO USE. It can help a lot with helicopter drops too.

Yes and No. Approaches by the plane make sense so you have to micro a bit more to get them to align otherwise you have a situation where you have a line of bombs to be dropped and they only drop 1 or 2 if any. You have to actually have it lined up also with how the paradrops are. If don't have them on that path they just try to circle to get it and it becomes silly. With CAS, there is a requirement for the plane to make a CAS run that it has to be at the lower altitude setting. Sometimes the plane will do that but sometimes it will not on it's own. I had a situation in a game where i had a harrier go low and then drop only the napalm and guns but not the dummy bombs.

these are actually skill related . you are too used to just pin point and watch magic happen but here you have to work to make things happen. you can control the planes you bring so its up to you to make the raid successful if you just tell them to bomb directly they will be shot down . for paras you need some sead operation first to disable their aa before trying and maybe try a low altitude para dropping its much safer that way

yeah the harriers i have to still mess with a bit to get for sure.

@@darkprometheus I use the av8b night attack with snake eyes in low flight mode and the av8b 2 with aim120 and aim9 to defend against other jets and helicopters. I also use the f18d with mk77 Napalm and aim7 and aim9 also in low flight mode. And then the kc130 unarmed for airborne drops of scouts and light vehicles early in the game

@@SGTLuPolt The thing everyone needs to understand is that Broken Arrow uses real LOS even for its planes. This is why you might send a Harrier with Mavericks at an enemy, but between the terrain and the limited range of your Mavs, you can´t hit tanks from above, while terrain stops you hitting them from low altitude. Which is why you do pop-up attacks. I run a USMC Airborne group with 130s for airdrops and Harriers with Mavericks to counter tank rushes. I fly the Mavericks in at low altitude, tell them to climb when approaching the target, then quickly make them dive again. Terrain is now not so much of a concern and the Harrier is only vulnerable to SAMs and AAA for a brief moment. Also, I think the dive combined with the turn helps the plane evade enemy AA fire better than just a turn (maybe by reducing the turning radius).

For the cruise missiles it works the same as any other guided bomb the issue is that when you have like 12 or 14 of them, sometimes you don't fite them all. Could just be user error though on my account though.

@@darkprometheus got the same issues when u spam p that sometimes it fires sometimes not and there really isnt anykind of feedback if it launched or is in order to
