I was surprised seeing this announced while the current event is still ongoing lol.
Many, many vehicles like that exist. This is just a continuation of their plan.

Frankly, I think the Penguin (as any other ASM’s so far in WT ) will have extremely limited use against their intended naval targets…
You need I think 3-4 Kormorans to kill even a frigate? I never actually used one outside of test flight scenarios, as they just are of very limited effectivity even after the recent improvement (but by far not perfectioning) of their guidance.
Kommorans aim for center mass and sometimes for the Bridge, they also have less HE than irl. The game just doesn’t make them hit where they would ril meaning little to no damage or just misses the target.

Theyre hiding my posts xD
I think I made it a bit convoluted with my own comment, sorry.
I wanted to make a point about the penguin suddenly coming in with an A2G capability while the GCS-1 for Japan has the same sort of guidance and was just straight denied with zero reliable backing info.
It’s the same situation here but they’re putting one into the game, so why did the other get denied.

Iirc there is a mention by Kongsberg that it can track land targets but to the extent im unsure.
Well. Such things were mentioned by the GCS-1 manufacturer too.
And yet
It will more than anything slam into the ground as it`s a seaskimming missile.
You can see the flightprofile here
How’s Austria related to Sweden?

I think it was a general wish thing. Though a little bit of a silly one still (phoenix got it right btw)
Entire forum is a bait thing
Im well aware but its just getting silly now

And not only the amount of explosive power is an issue, but the fact that it’s simply modelled as a normal HE (or at best SAPHE) warhead, where in reality it has a warhead with mutiple explosively formed projectiles, capable of penetrating several internal bulkheads within the target.
That’s a bit like if one would model an ATGM with a HE warhead instead of shaped charge HEAT warhead and wonders why it doesn’t kill a tank…

good thing war thunder sucks at making correct missile flightpaths

Again remove its ground track and this vehicle is essentially no longer unique. Im inclined to wait and see how it performs before i scream on the bug page for GCS but we’ll see, again no real bias, why do Russia and the US get equipment from other models but then other nations get denied that treatment? Is it bias? No, its balance and money bias mainly. Money is a strong bias

Haha me when TC-1L haha
Guess Germany should get the F14, they looked at it at one point, oooh and the US should get the J35F since it was at a air show in the 90’s
Gale Cleveland literally suggested an indiana Jones jet for Germany…

Clowning? Have you actually ever checked his suggestions? You literally took the bait without any thoughts lol, if it said gullible on the ceiling youd probably check that too
Also if you took any of those “suggestions” as me actually wanting them im sorry i should’ve said sarcasm since you couldn’t tell
