Was AGM-154B ever made?

it was developed but never produced from what i’ve seen

So they never made/dropped a test one at all?

it was tested at one point. then the air force left the program for it, then came the agm-154c.

So since JSOW is supposed to be highly compatible, every jet that can use AGM-154A can use B or C right?

it would likely carry the A/C variant like shown in the original post

but yes it can go on multiple aircraft’s f16’s 18, 15 etc

I’m just saying, if AGM-154B really was tested, any JSOW capable jet should be able to get it in-game

technically yes but since it wasn’t produced gaijin may not add it. but they always could i mean there’s vehicles in the game that are test beds irl or experiments lol

I have seen articles saying the AGM-154C was tested successfully against moving naval targets, if we can have Penguin ASM being able to lock tanks i don’t see why the C variant wouldn’t have GNSS + IR guidance in game

We dont really need it. Production variant with submunitions exists

which one? what submunitions?

The BLU-97/B.

Worse than JSOW -B ones

Thats debatable. In war thunder they both be broken as hell

One is guided, one is unguided

24 bomblets against 145 bomblets. 154b wouldve proved more effective against columns, but it wouldve been overly specialized, agm154a can deal with any armored vehicle much the same but it can also shred infantry.

we dont need a jsow for skeet warheads to be added, cbu97 was produced and exported, and cbu107 has non explosive penetrators. cbu97 has less range but more bomblets

dont the bomblets have an IR sensor so they detonate when facing a target?

if so I would much rather have that over more bomblets that most likely wont hit anything

Yes but theyre 25. The bomblets on the production version are like 130+
