Personally, I’m waiting for the B-58 Hustler. (Not holding breath …).

I love the hustler I think it would be a good higher tier nuke plane

Great vehicle event. Unique aircraft (though one variant should really go in the tech tree), great decals, and slightly lower mission score requirement.

historically accurate statcard name i love it (langmod)

There are definitely options for proxy fuses.

What on earth were the designers cooking making a missile with no proxy 🥀🥀🥀🥀

It was built very early, as one of the first guided Air to Air weapons. So I also guess that the designers thought a direct hit would be fine. Especially against larger bombers.

I also wouldnt be surprised if there was an intention to reduce size and weight by not having the necessary kit for a prox fuse or concerns about its reliability.

If it stays that low i want my J35J that low lmao
but with a 2-3km head on ability at low levels for both missiles, even without a proxy, it cannot stay at 9.3/9.7
