Unless you intend to ground attack or just want to meme, no.

They're rather hard to aim because of the large wing.

It's kind of like the rocket Pershing, great if you want a meme plane, and all the best if you want to try it in air battles.

Both Jets are really not that great there Is always some thing not right with American Jets . They should have put guns on this Jet it I think that was stupid nothing to keep the Jets off you . The guns on the f89-b shoot so fast out of ammo In record time. I think the f84 with two 1000 pound bombs Is the way to go. I bought thef89-b time will tell. Im so fed up with jet breaking apart and constantly watching my speed I hate It. I would rather have a me262 there awsome compared to either one of these jets. I wish I had waited for a sale yes . All I can say Is buy a jet with both guns and rockets or bombs. I find It hard to really get some kills with It compared to bombs. Sure Its neat to see the rockets slam Into the ground and that's about It. Gaijin will have better Jets than this. I'm not buying this jet Im waiting for a jet that has both guns and bombs and rockets that shoot better and fly better.......

I'm told it's actually rather good at ground attack, including blowing up bases in Air RB.

Probably not any good as a fighter.

Its a huge plane flys like that 6.7 double prop a2d-1 some. Not Impressed just because It falls apart when flying near the deck. I hate that i have to watch my speed all the time and trying to concentrate on flying there Is no buzzer telling you when your going to fast you just blow up. Its just a pain to have to put the brakes on all the time and watch your speed Its stupid. Maybe Gaijin may fix this but I wish I had not bought It and waited for a Jet that has both guns and bombs or rockets not just one choice. I'm sure better Jets are coming besides this garbage.......

The rocket one sure sounds fun for assault. Imagine all the rockets around these bombers. One is simply bound to hit.

I found it real hard to destroy the tank on the practice map compared to bombs , It has terrible accuracy with rockets If they get the radar or whatever It Is working maybe you can shoot better..I don't know........I like bombs better.....

The radar on it would be air-to-air, because that plane is actually an interceptor and the pods are supposed to be full of anti-aircraft fragmentation rockets, not anti-tank HEAT rockets.

its bad for killing tanks because the Mighty Mouse are anti bomber proximity rockets. but gaijin refuses to model them as what they are despite knowing better and keeps on saying it would be a ground striker despite it being an interceptor

Well, that doesn't make it bad for killing tanks, because in the game the rockets are anti-tank rockets. That's wrong, but it doesn't change that that's how it works.

mighty mouse rockets are not anti tank rockets. and even if they were, they would still be very bad ones

With the M247 warhead they were, and not particularly bad ones.

Does anybody know how to use this feature this radar whatever It Is. Maybe Its something like a heart monitor for the pilots lol . Because I have given up just another broken plane from Gaijin. And all the other stuff that's broken and swept under the rug.....This new update needed more time before opening panderas box........

The rockets shoot all over the place maybe Gaijin should have put a modifiction on the accuracy like 40% modif because Its a joke right now..
