It’s so slow that SPAA can probably shoot down the missile before it even gets close 😃

It seems that gaijin got the 177 wrong as it should be an R4:

Thx

I have filed a bug report abaute the range, I can’t thank you enough for provideing the book.

now isnce the Hs293 has been added and i have played a few matches i can tell you its meh. more of a gimick rather than some game breaking addition. Of course its not useless but unless they add the Hs293-D (the one with TV contraption) i guess its going to stay a relativly balanced weapon

I flew it in testdrive and the major problem is that the he177 ha no agility (especially the roll rate is bad) at all. A do217 would probably be much better even if it has less missles

It also has weak stopping power. If you could decelerate better then you could let the missile go first while you stay far enough away to not be in AA range and you also dont have to look down

It is not meh against tanks

But it is weak against ship aas and naval targets
because of the range (8.5km in game it is more like 7km) if they would make it 18km(irl range) it would be useful for naval.
Oh and naval damage is ass, there was a Naval enduring rb game where i hit a Karlsruhe 3 times
whit 1 hs293 at the front ammo (he lost the first turrets ammo) , whit 1 hs293 at back turrets and whit 1 FX at the front turet again.
And he survived it all and I didnt got the kill when he finaly sank.
