Hello,
As I was doing some research today, I have found this picture of the F-15E Strike Eagle:
That’s an AGM-130: AGM-130 - Wikipedia
Why’s it not implemented in the game?

Cuz. Gaijin. Absolutley no reason. We already have the KH-38MT

Its not even close to anything currently in game. It’s way to overpowered.
It’s a 2000Ib bomb with 75km range that is gps guided until close enough to lock on with TV or IR tracker (depending on version) all on its own without pilot guidance.

Is it mach 2.2 tho. The S1 will have 3 bussines days to intercept it. And where can you use the 75 mile range. You have like 10 miles from the battlefield to the air base in GRB

That doesn’t really make a difference if you drop both the AGM-130 and the KH-38MT you still have plenty of time to shoot both down before they ever get close to the SPAA.
At its maximum (yes, maximum, not average, the average is going to be WAY lower) speed the KH-38MT still takes about 30sec to travel 20km.
In both cases you have plenty of time to prepare and shoot them both down well before they even get close enough to lock with your radar.
Speed is more important for munitions you actually have to guide yourself (like laser) as it will keep the plane vulnerable for longer.
Edit:
I miscalculated, edited numbers to be correct.

The AGM-130 is even 903kg tritonal (so around 1000kg TNTe).
Edit:
translation error, warhead became explosives when i was reading info. its a 903kg warhead, i have no info on amount of explosive filler.

It is GBU-15 with motor stripped to it. Data link features are not implemented in game and lock range will he the same.

Oh, i might have misread a translation between warhead and filling. The total bomb is like 1300+ kg and the warhead is ~900kg . can’t find a good source for amount of filling at initial 5 min search.

Yes they are? ARH missiles has it.
The AGM-130 is LOAL, it’s gps guided with datalink until it is within range to IR lock on its own.
It’s like this:
imagine a GBU-31 JDAM with the range of the GBU-39/B that uses a AGM-65D seekerhead automatically at 10 km range before impact.

Show me datalink and LOAL implement on Spikes, Martels, Walleyes or GBU-15. That feature is omitted due to balance.
Ingame AGM-130 implementation will be GBU-15, but a bit faster.

Which ones?
Why MICA are left alone?
MICA could be fired from one Mirage to any targets thanks to Link-16 coms from a second Mirage,…
There is no Datalink in game.
(Let alone fairness,… MICA-EM is said to reach 80km IRL,… yet in game can’t even reach the 60km of MICA-IR)

I didn’t say it existed on bombs and AGM’s , you stated it wasn’t in game at all which it is so i said that it exists as a feature.
LOAL you are correct about not being in game, but i don’t think its going to be much longer before it’s implemented in general.
The GBU-15 lacks GNSS as well, so more like a GBU-31 with the Range of the GBU-39B in the case of currently available features for bombs. still way to powerful as you could take out every vehicle still in spawn (or on a capture point) from practically anywhere on any of the GRB maps.

AIM-120 , R-27 (i think all radar variants?) , R-77 , AAM-4 , RVV-AE , MICA-EM , PL-12 , and so on and so on.
They aren’t? they also have Datalink.
That is inter-vehicle datalink, that is not yet in game. the datalink in game is vehicle → missile only.
See above.

I dont believe this is true. They are semi-active radar so they need a solid lock to fire and only follow solid locks.
They do have iog which can make it seem like it has datalink.
they do have DL, but iirc it only let you to launch form longer ranges and relocking
You can relock but i havent noticed any form of datalink on them. If i drop the lock, they go by iog until i relock.

datalink in the game is (i think) link 6 what is only between missiles and the radar, while the one your thinking of is probably link 16 SADL what is information comunicated aircraft to aircraft (im pretty sure i said this correctly)
