Since we have his PAK-FA equipped with MPBM, hence Tu-160 loaded with MPBM. I just don't see it. Maybe it's because all the planes with MPBM are super-planes (low end like ADFX-01 or high end like whatever ridiculously expensive one might have it). Plus, it seems weird for a bomber to have that kind of weapon. Don't you know? T-50 -Akula- uses MPBM instead of Trinity in this game. Since in ACAH the Black Jack he was escorting was equipped with Trinity, why not MPBM for this game? The point of bomber aircraft is that they're restricted for air-to-ground purposes. MPBM is a multi-purpose weapon and that would shake things up. It would be better to have a specific cruise missile-type weapon (maybe a more powerful LACM). Bombers already have cruise missiles in the form of MAGMs. I think MASM (essentially Modified LASM) would be a good one for a Russian bombers since they often carry cruise missiles designed specifically for anti-ship use. Consider this, though: A modified LACM that could be even more powerful than MAGM, with an absolutely massive blast range. It could use the model of Trinity. It would have the blast range of MPBM but a hell of a lot more power. Furthermore, it can only lock on to ground targets. To compensate for the power you only get a very small payload. HWCM, Heavy Warhead Cruise Missile?
