They added the penguin missile which also don’t have any confirmed A2G tracking function (that I know of) so there’s no excuse not to just add it (please I wanna give US CAS something to think about)

It isn’t carried on F-15s IRL, hence me bringing up why it would be interesting it could be used in game anyways.
And no, they’re not really “somewhat usable” i’ve tested them and depending on how you set them up they either work poorly or flat out don’t work at all. The best i’ve gotten them to work is by changing them to use an AGM launcher interface while having a bomb stat profile, as they kinda work that way. Although some stuff doesn’t work unless you change their stat type to a rocket, but that brings up other issues which more or less completely brick it from being LOAL.

That’s been reported, along with the French AASM Hammer which also shouldn’t be able to track ground targets, so it’s possible that capability will be removed in the future.

the MJ it is usable on
It’s usable on literally everything, as i said, you could literally slap it on a kfir canard and it would be fully usable. The point I was making, is that it can be put on JP aircraft which do not use it IRL according to gaijin’s standards for adding munitions to vehicles. This includes the F-15Js, as due to JASDF doctrine they are not used on F-15J/J(M)s IRL.

gaijins standards: if we cant see it it cant do it, if we see it can do it it cant do it
Wow, really?
It works totally wrong. Missile should fly only via GPS with no LOBL and activate seeker in diving like 1~2km from target. So even if it can track ground targets here isn’t LOBL so it is totally Fake weapon at the moment

Has there been a bug report for this? I looked on the bug reporting site earlier but could only find ones about it missing.
There is an internal report

just like the internal report for the CTWV RCV/ICV’s (to this day still waiting for the telescopic to be correct and the airburst/vt rounds)
we’ll have to wait for the next 5 years minimum

Looks like AAM-4 might get even worse
in what way?
there is one that was accepted then randomly rejected again: Community Bug Reporting System
I think it maybe has to do with the fact that Gaijin seems to not want to add loal Weapons, even though they are kinda already in the game but not in an advanced way i suppose (ir and tv seekers dont actively search for targets, they will just loal on a target if it passes in front of where the seeker locked the ground).

That’s disappointing.
Is it though? if it is changed it will mean you cant choose what target you shoot at, and you basically can only put a point in the middle of the map and hope the hammers choose valuable targets (which i think is the reason loal wont be added, it reduces player input to nothing basically)
It’s disappointing because as it is, the Hammers are performing a lot better than they should be, while bringing us no closer to GCS-1s. At least we can kinda hope the F-2 brings ASM-2s with it.
The bug report for it was accepted forever ago, no word on implementation though. Gaijin is probably waiting for to implement the other changes to go along with the decrease to agility. (Datalink rework to make the missile borderline impossible to notch).
