GPS ASM-2 would be cool but I think it would still be sea skimming?
I would like to see ASM-3 that would be closest to KH38 at least in performance ramjet supersonic missile but again not sure about ground attack capabilities

Supposedly there was a DL equipped ASM-2 variant that worked like the Walleye DL, where it would put a video feed back to the pilot for manual target selection. IMO thats probably a better bet for using one for ground attack. As sea skimming is distance based, so by using a mode that doesnt lock initially, you can avoid sea skimming flr much farther.
And nah, the ASM-3 is truly in a class of its own, atleast for air launched munitions. If gaijin does ever add it for some reason though, ill make sure to bug report it till we can use it as a makeshift AAM if nothing else.

ASM-2 can be launched only via radar slaving its seeker while SLAM was made with capability to use seeker image to aim target
It is not known was this version created
TDRI60 mentions it, so im sure it atleast existed in a prototype form.
Where? I saw it only in book about F-1 where it was mentioned as planned
And anyway if there isn’t mention that prototype was made - it is not proofed that missile exist in any way
Uhhh i’ll try to find it at some point
Could the F-1 carry any guided anti ground munitions like the ASM-2?
F-1 could carry the ASM-1
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/ZjEek192j08h
Also the GCS-1 if we ever get to see those
As it was said F-1 can carry ASM-1 which is ASM and not AGM
Also GCS-1 was mentioned but with story “proove it can track tanks” there aren’t hopes for this weapon.
ASM-2 was once seen during early XASM-2 prototypes tests but was seen on FS-T2 Kai which honestly a little bit not F-1 and not clear was it fully working prototype
Anyway it is still ASM-2 which is also ASM
There wasn’t any other AGM for F-1. Only thing which can be called anti ground and missing in game is CBU-87 cluster bomb because here isn’t cluster bombs in WT

Could it see any gps weaponry, i remember the ej kai got given some once on a dev server. Would be real nice to have for sim and ground.
Absolutely not
It was given because there was once photo of F-4EJ Kai with JDAM but F-4EJ Kai can’t use JDAMs and even on that photo it was attached on pylon which can’t use GPS weapon.
Is it the case where the set point was chosen before launch or were they simply testing the flight performance with different weaponry like how the usually test more modern weapons on old airframes.
It was just attached in the public show. My theory is that they just used it as “bomb” example.
In theory it is possible to set point on the ground but not clear is it the part of JSDF tactic and as I understand it still needs some minor changes in construction like adding batteries to the pylons and etc to use it
Isn’t there a variant (I think is b variant) that change the seeker and make it can attack ground target?
shame really, love gps bombs on my tornado ids at 11.3. Would give the ej kai a reason to bring into ground as it could fill the sead and cap role at the same time.
There’s the heretical option of giving it kggb lol since kggb technically works on anything as long as it can drop mk82 since the entire thing is controlled from PDU with no aircraft integration needed and has been tested on old F-4E.
Beautiful work my friend. Wouldn’t F15JM also be included in the affected list?
J(M) already has NCTR due to using the V1 instead of the PSP.

Yeah, and it has the wrong radar for the one I was reporting so…
