Wasn’t sure where to ask but is there info on if the Exocet has different terminal attack profiles like Harpoon?
what I hear is 1 additional bullet
For what is known, sea skimming only for AM39 B2 Mod2
For MM-40 B 3C, it’s an other story, since it can attack land and can - if memory serves me right - be programmed with waypoints :
If we’re talking only about terminal evasion patterns, afaik nothing states its configurable
I know Stratus-RS is coming to replace Exocet anyway but I just wish they’d update AM39 to the Block 3C standard.
Iirc, AM39 has some guidance improvement other the 38, allowing it to take evasive maneuvers during terminal guidance. Wether they are pre programmed or actually adapts to the situation I’m not sure
AASM1000XLR would probably make a better anti ship missile than Exocet at this point ahah
Well, only SM-39 will be modified to SM-40, that’s as close as you get X)
Spoiler
But seriously they need to wrap their heads around making a Stratus variant that can fit in a torpedo tube
Rubis SSN had a small and limited sonar and couldn’t attack from afar, so Exocet could be enough, with Suffren though, it’s wasted potential, not to mention the chances of subsonic missiles against 2020s AD
SM is basically a MM with a different booster to get it out of the water, so it makes sense that both are getting the same upgrade.
different fins though,
tbh SM39 is closer to AM39 than MM40 these days
