Then where is our GBU-39 or AGM-65 equivalent?
Heck, the FGR4 still doesn’t have a 1000lb GPS+laser JDAM equivalent yet
I am talking about weapons themselves not necessarily the aircraft
Generally they add equivalents with a couple exceptions
The gbu-39 is a weird one, i haven’t seen anyone get a kill with it in GRB, but in ASB it wins games and grinds very efficiently.
It’s also so rare to even see American cas, for every 1 F-15E in GRB there’s 30 Su-34/30/27.
You can get a lot of kills against America in ASB (EF Clears any American jet) but still lose because they can just win objectives/bomb everything with the amount of gbu-39
SM2 is a testbed
which also tested the IRBIS-E and alot of other stuff that was used for the SU-35
so no
it was never even close to being the sm2
J-11b carries the Pl-12 not the r-77 they are two completly different missiels
iirc the J-11BG had dual rails for the Pl-12
or are you trying to tell me that the launch rail for the pheonix can carry amraams
the fab-3000UMPK got added later iirc
not sure if it was storm warning
j-11bg doesnt got dual launch rails for pl-12s, they got dual launch rails for rockets though, howecer, this is really getting off topic
welp then i got lied to
The SPEAR 3 carrier is actually the dual Paveway IV one, with an extra Scorpion ERU installed in the middle, rather than the Brimstone one.
While the carriage arrangement is similar to the Brimstone launcher, it uses a different release mechanism where SPEAR is pneumatically pushed down by the ejectors like a bomb before the turbojet starts. Whereas Brimstone is rail-launched, with the rocket motor igniting before the missile separates from the carrier.

With Magic II getting another buff. Could you nudge some of the Aim-9M reports like flame’s “push ahead” and “lock range” reports.
Would be good to get some buffs for the 9M

Did I not mention SPICE 250?
Also not my fault US has fairly close counterpart to SPEAR 3
and my point is the UK can get something without the US getting something as well.

So you think SPEAR 3 should come with no counterparts?
Let’s not forget cases of the opposite happening, I don’t see you complaining about the F-111C coming with the 111F, or AIM-120 coming to UK, or AIM-9’s, or AGM-65’s, or Shermans, or M10, or Paveway GBU’s, or AH-64, or F6F, or F-4, or F4F
But ask for a counterpart for a very strong weapon and it’s hurr durr UK suffer
This is a uk thread is it not, so maybe going on about america here isnt the best move

I was talking about stuff in the UK tree but thanks, your proving my point
What so saying “US should get this” is UK now, few hundred years late there

GBU-53 used by more than just US. Also SPICE 250 ER should come with it.
SPEAR 3 is much better than anything in its general class in-game right now, calling it a GBU-39 equivalent is wrong
that was gaijins choice not ours (dont forget the F111C came out at the same time as the better 111F)
everyone got ARH missile at the same time (ignore that that the UK was stuck with AIM-7E2 equivalents (we also got R-Darters)
for the longest time we had worse AIM9s (G vs J)
got these months after the US had them
from what I remember we have 1 none british version in the tree
dont have this we have an Achillies which is again a british version and its a higher BR due to a better gun
we use our own version that the US doesnt use the MK13 GBUs
this one is fair we got this at the same time from what I remember
a premium that we got after the F6F came to the US tree
again got the FGR2 after the US got the F4E (forget it was bugged for over a year and almost unplayable
I assume you mean the ww2 plane which we dont have
