What do you think they should add new pylons just for two new missiles ? It can be easily integrated
As in the existing pylons are not capable of using AAM-4s. Could they be modified? Yes. Are they? No. They do not have that capability and they were not modified, so they cannot use them.
The AH-64Es that Indonesia bought already have the capability to mount them, but Indonesia has not bought them and do not use them. They still have the capability.
That discussion alredy happened with the German F-4F. If Indonesia didnt bought the missiles, the aircraft in service with Indonesia never used it and should not use it in game.

Armament is a balancing decision. It doesn’t mean that the armament has to come because its compatible (eg F-15J(M)s are capable of using AIM-120C-5s, but do not have them as it is reserved for 14.0+ Vehicles).)
If the Indo AH-64E doesn’t get them, then it’d just be a worse AH-64DJP. This is the only way, as far as I’m aware, that Japan could get FnF missiles.

Armament is a balancing decision within the scope that the country using the vehicle has the armament in the first place. Thats not the case with Indonesia or with Taiwan for that matter.
Not true? We have vehicles in game that have armament that the operators did not use or have in stock. The Finnish Hornet and Kungstiger has ammunition/armament that Finland never used. I don’t think Switzerland Hornet used the AIM-7Ps either.
You’re wrong about the swiss hornets, they used AIM-7Ps since their introduction in service. The finish integrated the JDAMs and JSOW and bought them arround 2017 for the MLU program. I dont know what you’re refering about the Tiger II.
I don’t think the Kungstiger was ever fired by Sweden and never used the ammunition it has in game.
hows that relevant to the conversation?
I can now just grind France and it will be better than USA lol cuz of SPAA and the tanks are pretty much the same, rafale slams everything, and they have apache
from all three I don’t mind Japan having it they need most along with UK
France can have their own Tiger upgrade with their own missile, so they don’t really need it that much.
but China? Absolutely don’t need it and don’t deserve it they already have their own FnF DIRCM.

Japan, UK and Sweden are the only nations without FnF helicopters. What could Sweden receive, I wonder? Do they operate AH-64E or the Tiger?
Absolutely, but I don’t think they need AGM-179, if we start going down that route then UK apaches should get brimstone, the 11.3 tornados should have a PGM 500/3 with a completely inescapable seeker and said PGMs LOAL (which it has in game) should work from well over 5km away, with IFF btw
These are all things AGM-179 does have, or will have
Sweden is in very tight spot because they don’t have attack helicopter also none of Nordic have it
I really have no idea what they should get.
France recieving the F-16 was bad enough, but now the AH 64E? I’d get it if there was something unique about it, or there was a DIRE need for a new heli. But this is just a straight up copy for the sake of adding more things.
Same goes for china, except that one gets MORE STINGERS? Gaijin really wants to please the chinese playerbase so bad…

I heard that the UK also get the latest and most modern of AH-64E and also have Brimstone test on it and They’re also actual operator of AGM 179
it so absurd that UK don’t get it despite they are actual Operator of both AH-64E and AGM 179 but China? they don’t even need it got it for no reason Chinese one should be remove along with France because France has their Tiger upgrade with their own ATGM.

Quite right. I believe live fire tests of 179 have already occurred, brimstones certainly have although it will be going into service with 179 instead of brimstone IIRC, because we have a stupid government who communicate in caveman

Because there isn’t a lot of money to be made I guess. Very few people play the UK, and those who do aren’t known for buying a lot of premium vehicles to grind the tree.
