GBU-53/B StormBreaker

I thought so .

I look forward to using it, whats the general range for it ?

~150km while self sustained, and up to 250 using a boost → glide (lofting) firing mode.

In war thunder it pretty much equates to launching out the range of everything but maybe SAMP/T and having the bombs fly themselves to the target, not sure how fast though, i’d imagine sub-mach

Jesus christ so they’re actually long range, they also are not SAL no?

So the Isreali line for the cool square F16s will be good for grb?

Fully IR iirc, although irl they are heavily reliant on LOAL in order to hit that range, as no TGP can realistically see that far.

Already is, the Sufa is top 3 CAS jets in game imo, really good with the SPICE 250s

dont give gaijin any ideas!!

edit: I do hate the direct Gaijin has been taking lately tho. All nations tanks and aircraft is getting placed all over the place like what the hell. Chinese Abrams, Everyone gets Apache+agm179 (Especially the chinese and their “tainwan” thing they have been crying about), Japanese VT4, etc. like bruh.

Some of those additon is such a stretch and it pmo but I cant do anything but watch it unfold lol

Aight looks like it’s time to get my a** back to isreal then, I’ve got the kfir C10 is that any good as a stop gap ?

Yeah? so I can still sling em out at 14km?

at least this got pullec, as well as the chinese VT4 in Japan.

This as a balancing method is pretty damn pathetic. same as give everyone a leopard.

Isreal will get leopard 2 next as well due to addition of Greece
Which TBH i reckon would of been better additions to Germany

The 4 derbys, great radar and speed make it a better BVR platform than the F-14s at the BR, so in terms of grinding it’s a solid 8-9/10 , as for ground its limited to laser stuff iirc, so I’d avoid it inless its yohr only option

I do have it in ARB doing pretty well, I’ve got what 20 kills to 7 deaths with it.
But I mean for GRB it is my only option RN bar the Ayit

If you can deal with the pain that is LGBs rn then go for it, but I would take ayit just for the walleyes and mavs xD

Just as the German and Italian Euro Fighters never used Brimstones yet have them in game:
It just gets silly and causes more folks to get upset over it.

The AH64 being sloppily thrown across all the nations it has , I completely dispise.
Same as France getting C&P leopards, even as a high BR prem :(

yea and thank god they pulled it. I imagine if there is no japanese VT4 to kinda “cancle out” these two addition, I dont doubt that china would have the “taiwan” abrams by now

Nah the US player base quite rightly got in a fuss over it.
Same as the fact we should all be kicking up fuss over the “new” stuff coming in the greek tree?
Which isn’t anything new at all, The minor nations are now just being hit with C&P from major nations last year.

yea but that’s kinda expected tho since these minor nations did not really develop their own tank/aircraft and they normally buy from bigger nations. So it make sense that these minor nation tree are a little thin and are full of copy/paste.

Some nations are so thin that it cant be its own tech tree and gaijin is grouping it up with a major nations and that leads to these Japanese VT4, Taiwan Abrams, etc. Im not even sure how to solve it lol so just dont add it at all? i dont know

It depends, you say that though if we take a look

  • Isreal is missing most it’s own indigenious lights, as well as other vehicles.
  • Britain is the same it is missing a plethora of it’s own stuff.
  • France is still missing shedloads of its own lights, and even AMX30 variants.
  • Italy while they didn’t develop much good stuff still has quite a large amount of stuff they worked on with countries like brazil missing.
  • China again is missing a large portion of its own light vehicles.
  • Japan I don’t know too much about but I do know it is missing quite a few still.

Theres absolutely no need to just start slamming stuff like abrams, T80 or Leopards into every tree.

Yeah like they did with britain and SA? or India?
Or they have done with Germany getting the swiss tree?
It makes no sense man, they fired the leopard 2a7H into Italy cause not enouhg people were actually playing italy.

I’ve also heard Taiwans AH-64E fleet is too old to have the JAGM compatibility standard. So it would require modifications on their part, which there is no evidence of since they haven’t gotten JAGM
