Il-28 Beagle for Target Locked On


As promised, here are the numbers for the Il-28 Beagle medium bomber, which also work for the Chinese knock off version the Harbin H-5, which is still in use with the North Korean Air Force. I worked out these ratings using the revised formula for the Size Factor which has been given the green light by the rules designer:

MAN (11904 / 18400 = 0.64) x 5 = 3.2 = 3

SIZE FACTOR (SF)  (17.65 + 21.45 + 6.70) / 100 = 0.45 = 0.4

HITS (0.4 x 10) + 1 = 5

TARGET 0.4 = 4+

FUEL = 20

RADAR = -1

ECM = 3+

SPEED 902 km/h = MAX 34 / MIN 9

ARMAMENT  4 x NR-23 (2 nose / 2 tail)
                        8 x FAB-250 or 4 x FAB-500

POINTS = 100

There are no points values for tactical bombers, so I have decided to replace the 'Fighter Bomber' aircraft points rating with Tactical Bomber @ 100 points per aircraft. This would apply to similar medium bomber aircraft including the B57 / Canberra or the Vautour (for actual 'Fighter Bombers' I will just use the bog standard points values for fighter jets).

VARIANTS

1. Photo Reconnaissance (no bombs, one front gun, + 8 fuel, camera @ 115 points)

2. ECM (no bombs, 2 x ECM pods = ECM 5+ @ 120 points)
