Since most NATO countries dont use mobile spaa like the eastern block countries wouldn’t it be more balanced to give the US and Allies AGM45s,AGM78 or AGM88s?
No, not at this moment.
There is still options for shorter range SAMs which have been promised for all nations in 2025. My guess will be vehicles like the SL-AMRAAM HUMVEE for the US or the Sky Sabre for Britain.
With the introduction of longer ranged SAMs (20km+), the need for CAS to get a counter such as HARM becomes more pressing and additions like AGM-88 and ALARM could be added.
That being said, they would be great fun in Air modes like ASB
We dont even have shrikes.
I have a fear we could see them in june, which is extending this current gap even longer that is unreasonable.
Still have pretty good hopes for march though, it SHOULD be a reasonable date.
Nah, soviets will get better SAM in march
Others may say the game isn’t ready, but I think it is, specifically at top tier to counter the Pantsir, and other powerful SPAA systems. It is really okay to implement because they are easily countered by simply turning their radar-set off.
NATO is not allowed to outpace the Soviet bloc technologically
Most likely Russian planes will also get HARM (Kh-58) if NATO planes get HARM.
E-G variant are not that stupid really they have mmw guided.
ALARM enters the chat
if you disable the radar, it lofts, deploys and a parachute and then waits, if you switch your radar back on, its slams straight down and will use IOG if you switch it off again.
GPS guidance systems enter the chat
wont matter if its turned off, you will have to move, not to mention terminal guidnace modes on some HARMs
Just another reason I love Texas Instruments.
Texas Instruments is the HARM (better missile), not ALARM
yeah because we know gaijin would ever give a weapon like that to nato, they still haven’t fix the hellfires.
here is the thing. If you bring in anti radiation missiles into the game, it will greatly unbalance the game. You have to be able to counter the counters ect ect… This is the main problem with more modern weapons is the balance. I would love to see these missile enter the game, but you dont want something game breaking thats going to make one side just be miserable because there is no counter. Right now you can out maneuver most SPAA’s or hide your approach, but at least you can defend the ground targets from incoming cas. USA needs some help in the spaa department though.
Just add modern stuff with APS
Lol too bad we’ve been doing that for 40 years
