Offensive armament

The F-111F is armed with:

  • 120 x countermeasures
  • 60 x large calibre countermeasures

Suspended armament

Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.

Default weapon presets
  • 1 x 20 mm M61A1 cannon (2,000 rpg) + 2 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles
  • 4 x 600 gal drop tanks
  • 6 x AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles
  • 24 x 500 lb LDGP Mk 82 bombs (12,000 lb total)
  • 24 x 750 lb M117 cone 45 bombs (18,000 lb total)
  • 4 x 2,000 lb LDGP Mk 84 bombs (8,000 lb total)
  • 24 x 500 lb Mk 82 Snakeye bombs (12,000 lb total)
  • 4 x 2,000 lb LDGP Mk 84 Air bombs (8,000 lb total)
  • 6 x AGM-65D missiles
  • 2 x AGM-65G missiles
  • 4 x 277 kg GBU-12 Paveway II bombs (1,108 kg total)
  • 4 x 957 kg GBU-10 Paveway II bombs (3,828 kg total)
  • 4 x 2,000 lb GBU-24 Paveway III bombs (8,000 lb total)
  • 4 x 2,000 lb GBU-15(V)2/B bombs (8,000 lb total)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Fast plane at low altitude
  • A diverse selection of weaponry for ground and air battles alike
  • MAWS (Missile Approach Warning System) is present, which detects missile launches
  • The AIM-9L Sidewinder missile comes stock and is proficient for self-defense

Cons:

  • Due to its immense size, the F-111F is not maneuverable compared to other planes at its battle rating
  • Similar to its predecessor, it has poor energy retention when its wings are swept back

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
