How come the most famous user of this missile does not get it into its loadout options?
Specially since the aircraft does not excell at anything else.
just trying to do a lil heads up to Gaijin so it can actually get the most out of the missile.
specially now that we can do so much more in nuclear escalation
Because they’re adding more and more with each update, starting at top tier mostly, and they just haven’t got to all of those lower BR’s yet.
Gaijin are stupidly slow at adding new weapons onto existing airframes.
Sea Eagles for example added a year ago now, havent yet been added onto the Sea Harriers, and the only excuse has been “we need to model a new pylon for it”
it’s a good excuse, somebody who works on the modeling aspect of the game has to take time off of whatever else they are working on to research and create it. the amount of people available for that is probably pretty low with just how many new vehicles and models the game gets every update. the time aspect, where an aircraft is missing capability just because of that, is not. I would rather they slap it on whatever pylon until they have the correct one modeled.
yeah tbh, i wouldnt care about a fictional barely visible pylon.
Well among the all imaginary things and wrong things that are in the game, sticking said Sea Eagle missile to an existing pylon as a placeholder is the least damaging thing…
For example, they add F-102 with wrong missiles that are clipping in graphics.
And for the Harrier, it’s not that there isn’t a mode to use it anymore to see the addition as a secondary thing.
F-1 and F-4EJ Kai are both also missing the ASM-1 and ASM-2, like someone said previously, they’re just extremely slow for whatever reason they have, be it valid or not.
It does definitely hurt though if you wanted to use such aircraft in like Nuclear Escalation to do anti-shipping stuff with them.
Unfortunately, if they didn’t add it right away, maybe they’ll catch up in a few years.
Gijin has a snail in its logo for a reason—they don’t like going back to things that have already been added to the game; they prefer to add new weapons and vehicles, while previous ones often have to wait several years for updates. For example, inaccuracies in the F-104’s specifications were reported three years ago; to this day, they haven’t been corrected, even though they’ve been marked as “accepted.”
Yes, the visible IRST module on the F-104 fighters is just a visual prop in this game, and as for the EEGS, you can only dream about it at best…

The F-14B also had to wait a few years to get the AIM-9M; they only remembered this when a huge uproar broke out online over the Super Tomcat, which was supposed to be available only in the PrEmIuM version, but in the end they added the TT version as well.
thats a shame, i was so exicted to play it properly in nuclear escalation.
hope this gets some attention :(
gaijins been very slow to add ASMs to what should have them.
only excuse i can think of for not adding the exocet to such planes is relation to the falklands war being touchy again, gaijin doesnt particularly care about that neither do most so i cant see any reason other than laziness to add it
and the island issue is not even that serious, there are a lot of British and even american tabloid newspapers trying to clickbait and generate drama when in reality there is nothing as close as 82’.
on the british side its certainly not a sore point, argentina is still very aggro about it. Gaijin very clearly doesnt care when we got a falklands ground and air map lol
fork found in kitchen.
Add the exocet gaijin. also add martel and sea eagle to Shar while at it
There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution… look at the “placeholder” bomber cockpits. Allow Gaijin to model the wrong pylon, just for now, and they’ll never add the right one.
Argentina will always put pressure regarding that topic, but its not on a military way anymore.
neither are we. its a mutual agreement of embarrassment.
true…
Hello
Every aircraft typically needs a new / modified pylon to take Anti-ship missiles beyond what they typically have already in game for their air-to-ground ordinance.
Our immediate priority has been giving ASMs to as many nations as possible first, focusing on the aircraft used the most by those nation(s) and then working back across older aircraft to bring them up to speed sequentially.
Sadly its not possible to have every pylon / adapter done and ready by the time the missile itself is. So rather than delay the missiles for everything, we issue it to those key aircraft(s) whilst the pylons and adapters are placed into our content plans, being scheduled for when there is an appropriate opening availability for them to be completed and added.
The Etendard is one such aircraft, like the Sea Harrier, that is planned to receive ASMs once its pylons are completed.
