Another thing: I thought the F-5A(G) was to LOAL long range IR air to ground weapons what the FJ-4B VMF-232 was to guided CAS weapons in general.
It lined up pretty well. It’s also a little odd that we’re missing Norway’s air tree, as opposed to Sweden’s.
I know it seems kinda off topic, but the F/A-18 is the peak of WT vehicles being added at odd times in odd states, and it’s got me thinking about everything strange.
It can use GPS to bomb point also without INS drift.
agm-84e got accepted. now its the waiting game
Link?
Awesome.
I may report the JASSM, JSOW, SLAM-ER tomorrow if nobody else does first. Too tired tonight. The F/A-18C’s flavor is that it has crazy naval weapons. Love to see the accepted AGM-84E SLAM report.
Hopefully its implemented soon, though i doubt. agm-130 took 2 months after the first report 4 months ago to be added to the f15e
And they still don’t have the Short Chord variants which would permit the simultaneous carriage of missiles on the shoulder rails.
Hey @TheScienceOfWar
AGM-84Es should come no matter what you falsely accuse people of.
And Kh-38s are still OP regardless.
You are trolling, and are in every thread I’ve ever seen. I’ve been advocating for all of these weapons (and specifically the AGM-84 in all its variants) to be added with every post I’ve ever made in this thread.
Literally every post you make on this forum is deliberately misunderstanding other users, and you are everywhere
That is all I have to say about you, for time immemorial
I was honestly shocked we got it at all. I actually take it instead of Mavs now, as despite the loss in magazine capacity, the increased distance at which it can track moving targets against an AGM-65D and the 2000lb Mk84 core weapon are a great combination. Often, staying on station to ripple fire Mavs takes long enough I’m putting myself at unnecessary risk anyways. Unless I compromise useful capability and take a bunch of GBU-39s, I can’t overwhelm the Pantsir by choice.
So I can take a useful weapon load, which may kill Pantsir if not paying attention and will allow me to exploit any gaps in SPAA coverage and massively attack the enemy team, or I can take a less useful weapon load and fight a Pantsir and lose the ability to do much else.
AGM-130A-12 is winning the utility debate for me, currently.
Speaking of the F-15E, some of these weapons should come to the F-15E in time as well.
Only the JSOW A variant was tested by the USAF, as it was co-developed by the USAF and USN. The B and C variants were developed after the USAF dropped out of the project.
Didn’t I post proof that showed otherwise? C was navy yeah, but B was joint development
Yeah, you’re correct, I forgot. Still the point stands with them only being tested and not fully adopted.
Just like T-80B thermals. So it’s fair game for addition on hornet, eagle, and viper
@TheScienceOfWar
Then why are you calling people trolls for advocating for the same weapons you are? For at least as long as you…
And yes, I’m in many topics advocating for cool looking equipment cause I like military vehicles A LOT.
Let’s work together, not apart.
There is an A variant that has a unitary warhead, a variant of the Mk82 500lber’s warhead, the AGM-154A-1. It’s an AGM-154A with a BLU-111 warhead, developed for FMS. It lacks IR targeting, being an A JSOW, so it’s basically a glidey JDAM in WT terms. It’s so milquetoast I almost don’t even want it, it’d be boring and possibly give gaijin an excuse to not add the super cool AGM-154C. But, you could throw it on USAF jets if you wanted.
Some F-15Es can use SLAM-ER, too aiui. At least a couple of them. However, this may practically be limited to the F-15K and I believe Gaijin has already commented on this.
Some USAF F-15Es specifically can carry five JASSM. It was apparently significantly a loading issue, and one squadron developed a tool to load it onto the low to the ground CFT pylons.
As long as tomfoolery remains relatively low, I’m fine advocating for all the weapons together.
I do apologize for my participation in misunderstandings between us.
