Ah i see. It would have been good if it could be dropped like JDAM if it did that IRL

Come to think of it, It would actually be really good in city map. Climb high, drop few JDAMS and two AGM-84 so that ANTI air like pantsir would be distracted and shoot down those JDAMS while AGM-84 climb down and follow the terrain. This way it would be hidden from the radar unit for a while

After a bit of testing, my optimism was unfounded. With the SLAM-ER currently cruising at almost 700m, it doesn’t mask its approach at all, and will undoubtedly be intercepted by any SPAA that’s paying attention. At close range, and low altitude, it performs a significant climb, which might be conducive to tracking and striking targets in high clutter environments, and creating a significant transversal against GBAD tracking; whether that will matter, I don’t know. I rather doubt it.
Hopefully the cruise altitude will be changed to a much lower ceiling.

still bad
too slow
too weak compare to kh38

Is there any bug report for its flying height?
Tried it .
As of last night ( 13 . 3 . 2026 ) , it functions like a long range maverick. If it loses lock, the GPS doesn’t do anything, and it requires direct line of sight with the target for most of the flight to actually hit said target.
It also has a fixed flight altitude. This fixed altitude is problematic, since if theres a big hill or mountain between you and your target, theres a decent change your seeker will lose track while trying to avoid said mountain.
TLDR: Very very similar to the KH-59 , cant be launched in GNSS mode, kinda sucky if it loses LOS
Easily 60m
what other planes could carry it? What i reasearched, it primarly used in the F/A-18s, is there other planes?
a little better agm65 , nothing special
For the USA? Only hornets afaik.
F/A 18 C late and E? Right? (good that they chnaged a lot, now i need to grind F4J, f18,F18c)
Yep
Australian fa18f apparently as well in the UK tree

yeah, the usrtialn hornet can carry it.
I made a bug report about its missing feature (should be able to launch with just GPS lock, like Kh38ML)
AGM84H do not need line-of-sight before launching // Gaijin.net // Issues
but if im wrong or u got more sources then please go add more
What all does the source need to have. Do documents that only state that it has GPS and INS work?
Gaijin doesnt allow ir munitions to be launched via gps lock yet
I dont think that’s true, they stated that I did not have enough info, not complete denial of the function
Kh38mt cant be launched via gnss, you atleast need a surface lock for that
that make sense, so does that mean they just gotta add 2 different SLAM-ER? IR version and GNSS version? thats hella dumb, i dont see why they cant make it a same missile
