Jet bombers need more love I agree, I think a B-47 in rank 6 would fill the gap in Americas bomber line. I think the way to balance late game bombers is to give them a ludicrous starting altitude, the B-57 and B-47 were spy planes, I think they should get a spawn of about 7500-8000 meters compared to the 3000 meters strategic bombers currently get. Making much more diverse bomber spawns I think is a stop gap solution for the bomber problem. Intruder low level bombers like the B-26 and, gameplay wise, the PB4Y should get low spawns of about 2000 meters and 5 kilometers forward. Tactical bombers like the B-25 and in essence the Russian DB-3 should get a mid altitude spawn of 3500 meters and like 2 kilometers forward. Heavy bombers like the B-17, B-24, B-45, and B-29 should get high altitude spawns of 5000 meters and should spawn above the airfield. Finally, High Flyers/ high altitude bombers(planes that kinda suck at where they are with very poor defense, I.E B-57 or the B-47 (if implemented), they don’t need the largest bomb loads.) these planes would get super high spawns of 7500-8000 meters. This would make the B-57 viable if your version of the B-45 were to come to game, it would also allow planes like the B-47 and Tu-16 (if implemented) to have a high enough spawn to take very long to get found and hit with the missles at their tier. No one want to climb that high. I think that the intruder bombers would kinda weaken the bases for a one time go, they are fast with decent weaponry(PB4Y just has a crap ton of top facing guns), so spawning in front would give them time to hit the bases before being overwhelmed. The most important would be the strategic bombers, they have the climb rate to get to altitudes like 3000 meters after returning to base and they possess decent bombload. Strategic bombers would not want to lose their altitude becuase its their main protection, intruder bombers would be unable to get back to base 99% if the time, strategic bombers would be able to move fast enough to get to a base, destroy it, return to home and then re climb. I think this would be an effective stop gap for bombers.
The fact so many of these early jets are missing is shocking tbh, so many easy premiums that could have been added and interesting things to mix tech tree up
It's a pity that the production F-94D was never built. It would've had .50 cal nose (like the pre-Vulcan configuration of the YF-94D) but also retained the F-94C's wing-mounted rocket pods. So you'd get 8x .50 cal *and* 24x rockets, for the best of both worlds. Also, what I really want to see in terms of bombers is the XB-42A Mixmaster of 1947. It had two piston engines powering a countra-rotating pusher prop *and* two turbojet engines under the wings, and a top speed of 488 mph. It carried 8,000 lbs of bombs and was armed with 2x fixed .50 cal in the nose, plus each wing had a remote control twin .50 cal turret firing aft for defensive armament. Meaning you get B-17G/B-24D payload in an aircraft with the size of a B-25 and the speed of a Do 335 B-2.
I think a super cool addition would be the F-102 before the F-104 on the left most American fighter tree. It could have a folder for the F-106. The F-012 could be 9.0 and the f-106 could be 9.3/9.5.
The three jets I most want are the F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger, and F-106 Delta Dart. I'd love to see early IR/SARH missiles in the way of AIM-4A/Bs
One of the reasons at the time they said they couldnt add the b-45 was because it had an afterburner. However it can be added now. I think they didnt want to add it because making a copy paste canberra and a canberra model that could be altered to give it 50cals and a cooler cockpit was probably ths easier, lazier, and cheaper option to adding the b-45 tornado.
I watched the first two videos on what planes you wanted to have added. I came back 3 months later to see if you’ve made another like them and YOU HAVE. I was to see my Neptunes, B-50D’s, P4M-1’s, B-44 B-66. 😭 Variants of the Ar 234 had offensive and even defensive armaments/guns. Installed with different engines and wings even. Many arados could be added. The soviets also have a ton of postwar jet bombers that were made experimentally as well if the Tu-95 isn’t good enough.
If they add the b-45 it could replace the slow as fuck b29 for the nuke in ground rb wich would be really really nice. And the f94 to me looks crazy good and would he pretty fun

the fighter i really want to see come is the french fouga magister, it could be added in the benelux sub tech tree as it was used by belgium. You should look into it
they should add the F-94 with the actual rocket computer. i really wish there was a 1945-1950 BR bracket. so you'd have IL-28s being intercepted by starfires, and F-89s with early air to air missiles.
I really wish they would rework Air RB so that interceptors would have a real place and significance in the game, which in effect would also enable actual engaging and meaningful bomber gameplay. Imagine all the possibilities, just to name a few like the F-94, F-102 and F-106 to the B-45, B-58, and B-36.
Well at the end of the day I think any post war aircraft designed from either the 1950s would be good, and also any new jet bomber is good, but I can't really understand why gaijin gets cold feet over adding these bombers, yes in real life these bombers were meant to rain down death upon the (filthy reds) but at the end of the day these bombers played a part in creating these famous bombers we all know and love anyway, I mean hell there are people who want to see the (Avro Vulcan) in game there are people who want to see the (tu-16) and the (tu95), and at the end of the day these aircraft would be better than the 10th leopard or f16.
I would really like to see the Mig YE-152M interceptor. It's only weapons are two R-4T or R-4R air to air missiles. It also has a very powerful engine.
One that would be really hard to balance would be the p3c because it can hold practically anything in the us Navy's current arsenal and weapons but its a turbo prop which would make such a pain to balance ( my dad flew it so thats why i want to see it in wt )
WE'RE ONLY GETTING TOP TIER JETS WITH THIS ONE! I mean sarcasticly, but also, I still want so many even Pre-war, and especially a lot of WWII planes in the game, but "we ain't gettin' shit no more." Money talks, F-4S Sells, Gaijin shall Giveth. I'm a Naval player, we get nothin' from the snail either, the money is where the Abrams and the F-15 is. Nobody's gonna care about an update where the poster is an F-94, or a Fairey Barracuda, or The IJN Kaga (1942), because every 12 year old can recognize a jet as the F-15 (Even if they are wrong), but not many people's gonna be nerding out about I don't know......Me-262B....no, I'm gonna put it this way. Nobody searches for "Game that features the F-94" If the Gaijin can't Sell it, the Gaijin won't spend on it, that's how Naval became so irrelevant. We may dream, and we may beg, but.....Look, I 100% Support you, but I just really can't see any way for it to come in the game. (I specifically lost all my faith when Gaijin added the Hungarian Air Subtree, and they didn't include a single World War II Plane. The Rába Bf-109G, the Dunai Repülőgépgyár Me-210Ca, the MÁVAG Héjja, none of them. )
