It had no logical position in the FAA line between the Scimitar and Phantom so the bomber line makes the most sense and does not prevent further additions in future there.

As I just said, it does not fit well in that line as it would have to go between the Scimitar and Phantom. Its better suited in the bomber line as its main role in game is an evolution of what the Canberra B.6 does.
What it is in real life and what it does in the game are often two separate things, Its really irrelevant whats an interdictor or whats the logical progression in terms of variants. Thats not what I was talking about. The Buccaneer is going to be used exactly the same as a Canberra just with Sidewinders rather than guns and be better at CAS.
Im fully aware of what the Buccaneer was IRL.
Its more logical than putting what is effectively a CAS / Bomber in-between the Phantom and Scimitar. Both of which are much more air to air capable.
No aircraft in game has AIM-9L or any total all aspect in game right now. So thats not happening soon. Weaponry is down to balance too, not simply period configuration.
They actually operated off of HMS Hermes also which is not of the Invincible class.
