Very evident, ive seen enough remove swedens tracer belts and only add practice rounds for their jets again.
@Gunjob i dont remember anymore, for that bug report u did rework a bit i think?
Did it go trough as Pele-T replacement or was that the saphei buff? u forwarded
Heres where they give it a stop gap ir guidance, like what i’ve been begging for on the brimstones…
Yeah…
something similar has happened before with MAWS for the GR7
Told no MAWS for fixed wing
Adds F-111A with MAWS
Gets told no PD MAWS, so no MAWS for the GR7
Adds F-111A’s MAWS to the Harrier Gr7 5 months later.
Would not at all be surprised if they turned around and went “well. we decided the US needed FnF AGMs for their Heli, so they are getting a palceholder seeker”

Why is everyone worried about FnF now for US, they should have had longbow hellfire a long time ago

Because they have said in multiple occasions that mmw seekers are too good to be added yet. Its Fine adding it as long as the brimstones get it at the same time.
Although, i doubt itll be mmw and just be laser guided like the brimstone.
For the past year, we have been denied our principle FnF A2G weapon for both the Tornado Gr4 and Typhoon on the grounds that “MMW is too OP”.
If the US gets JAGMs with FnF and Brimstone doesnt then we call BS, likewise if JAGM gets a placeholder seeker to enable FnF without MMW, we again call BS

We’re on the same side, but like… Longbow apache been in the game for years without principle weapon. We’re tired of it. Their excuse was no countermeasures for MMW but… literally yes we have shown them that tanks can equip smoke grenades that counter MMW radar.
There is IR weapons that work the same way functionally in the game that are FnF for everyone else now, why are we being stingey now and instead adding them in the form of… the missile that replaced the longbow hellfire? Like what??
The only conceivable explanation is that they want the additional range or are going to be laser homing mode only.

They allow early russian tv bombs to track tanks for balance as well as add the kh38mt despite it only ever being seen in a brochure and yet were not allowed a stop gap ir version of our missiles due to mmw being too broken for the game and will probably never be added untill we get something on par with iron dome at taking out ordinance…
if they just named it weird and they are adding the JAGM-MR (increased range to match CM-502KG and LMUR), then it would also get IR guidance. which would mean FnF in line with whats ingame
the UK should also be able to get it since it is meant to be compatible with whatever JAGM is compatible with
There is also the JAGM-F with SALH and MMW
JAGM and JAGM-F in use on British AH-64D/E
JAGM-F is the fixed wing version, that’s what the F stands for. It is pretty confusing though
Oh I see, you’re right. Sweet, so JAGM-MR could be an interesting addition. Standard JAGM might as well be longbow hellfire unless they intended on making it SALH only.

I mean it’s got a different warhead apparently but yeah it might as well be
Isn’t it E only? JAGM is accompanied by the AH Mk.1s being phased out in exchange for purchased 64Es iirc.
Or alternatively, however unlikely, if they choose to add F&F they could be trying to avoid locking the 64D to a higher BR, so adding a new airframe would allow for a new aircraft at a (significantly) higher BR with fire and forget kit without significant affecting the old aircraft’s capacity.
They just want people to spend the money to unlock the helicopters, I don’t know a single person who has actually spent the shameful amount of time it requires to actually grind one. The top tier helis are the one thing I have heard of people paying more $$ than a rank 7 premium for that isn’t an expensive marketplace item for squadron battles.
It’s a hellfire with improved seeker, it is compatible with anything that could fire hellfires with only software modification. Would they have authorized the updates for their AH Mk.1s? Hell nahh. Not when the opportunity to sell them 64E’s we don’t want anymore is on the table.
I got mine by playing ground but had to spend money for the mods :((
I did…
I’m not saying shameful for u, shameful for Gaijin to subject players to this.
