Something must be wrong about my game then, perhaps sound mod causing some issues.

Weird thing is before the small uptade it was working perfectly fine.

Pain. Wanted to salvo them in sim

Can the Mk 84 be fitted where the AASM 1000 would go on Rafale F4 or F3R just doesn’t have Mk 84?

Same for me, it’s one of the first things I tried and unfortunately it’s not the case

Will there be any evidence?

Only Mk.81/82/83, never seen anything to back up Mk.84 out of my head.

They really need to unfuck the bugger all range on targeting when they’re giving us kit that can hit targets at 3 times the distance we can target.

I guess they keep this limitation to prevent planes from totally dominating tank battles, however with the announcement of more modern anti-aircraft systems next year I hope this limit will be lifted.

“but but then they would be better then the AGM-65” - probably some us main

It wouldn’t even change tank battles all that much. We’d still be striking from outside retaliation range like we are now.

I’d bloody well hope they were better.

Currently the Pantsir can still hope to hit the planes at the time of the release for GPS and laser guided stuff, according to the tests I did yesterday, all the laser+GPS GBUs could be fired at about 30km away and easily reach their target. This would allow some planes to become really annoying (others already are)

Pantsir really isn’t much of a threat tho. You drop the bomb on the edge of its engagement range, drop to terrain and disengage. They aren’t all too flash.

For GPS+Laser and laser weapons you still have to maintain a lock.

On the other hand it is true that the Pantsir is no longer really a threat today

You can just drop these. Only really need to lase if you’re changing targets. I assure you, for pantsirs it is unecessary to lase them. They don’t move lol

Otherwise fun fact, with the GBU 39, if you circle the battlefield staying at about 20km and 3000m altitude, you can just fire them at a 90° angle and easily hit your targets. I tried to do it in F-16C and it’s really stupid, you stay out of range of your targets and if you have an ally with a drone you can shoot all the tanks on the map really easily

And normally the same thing will be possible with the AASM

Yeah, it a bit silly.

So I just noticed this, is it right that the plane is screaming at me in American to pull up?
