Nevermind, you are right, idk why in the preview of the article it showed aargm-er.
base AARGM already has that, this brings improved warhead, speed, range, improved passive guidance as well as active MMW over the AGM-88C. from what i understand it will be sort of like a US Kh-31PD that has a better minimum range and much better seeker.
the mention of the lifting strakes, as well as higher altitude and thermal shielding makes me think it will be significantly faster than the old AGM-88’s and loft very high up
So I was correct then. Given the question is what would AARGM/AARGM-ER have over AGM-88C.
Speed and Range would be handy, but MMW wont be added obviously.
i hope they also add regular AARGM for EFT and F-16 as well as F/A-18C late
wait we finaly getting MMW ? something to fight gajin on then i guess
like i said regular AARGM is what the EF´s should be getting at best
im just saying it is a possibility
Gaijin could add it without MMW and add MMW later just like they did with MITL for AGM-84H and other weapons with MITL
didnt sebbos source literaly say er to be integrated on efts?
no, its the only source that claims that, germany has only tested AARGM and is only procuring AARGM. Afaik nothing was said about getting AARGM-ER
Refer to:
wouldnt matter either way, as part of the future Eurofighter family system upgrade the integration of the AARGM automaticaly means the integration of the ER as well
in case you arent aware what i am talking about

I’d LOVE to see the quadriplegic AGM-88C as modelled in-game hit targets 90deg or more to the side of the launch aircraft as indicated here lmao might finally be the source that allows us to buff the HARM’s pull tho. Thats primary, and there is atleast 1 secondary and 1 secondary/tertiary source stating the AGM-88 is capable of hitting targets behind the launch aircraft at the cost of significant range reduction
Hint: AGM-88C can't even hit a target 30deg off-bore at 10km in-game atm, it simply can't pull enough...

Or actually modeling MMW seekers instead of “We can’t do it because reasons that apply to other missiles with a rapid closure rate and flawless iog already in game”.

We both know mmW is a lost cause argument and that they will keep defending saying it’s op, so the least we can hope is laser guidance but with an upgraded motor
The infamous pitch axis wobble at high alt.

It’s funny how they get to their conclusions. Usually they go like “Muh, small control surfaces means minimal pull”, but the AGM-88 has such big control surfaces that, according to their belief, it should be able to pull two 360° circles with a still burning motor, but instead it is totally anemic for whatever reason lol
