This missile on paper is way better than the AGM-65 Maverick, but in real use cases theres a huge issue with its guidance.
When launched, the missile dives towards the ground and starts terrain following, the problem with this is that in 99% of situations this dive causes the missile to lose its lock (point or track), and when it loses it’s lock it just becomes useless and starts flying towards infinity until either it crashes or it’s battery runs out.
The missile currently straight up doesn’t use IOG or GNSS to go to the last position of lock. Making it effectively useless in almost all GRB maps in the entire game. It’s only good for hunting down boats/ships in this current implementation.
Heres an example video: https://youtu.be/MNpSORw9T0s
I don’t understand why Gaijin doesn’t give a crap about this thing when it could actually help US CAS move on from Mavericks. But no, lets keep adding fake stuff like the 38MT.

It might limited by the in game mechanics as the only things with LOAL are missiles with laser guidance. The problem is that it does have GNSS on paper, but IR for some reason prevents GNSS from ever kicking in.
They should atleast add an option to disable the ground tracking and just make it fly straight at the target like AGM-65’s do. It would atleast be usable that way.
So sad to see a missile with such potential to be implemented in the WORST way possible.
@Smin1080p_WT can we get some type of word/info on this? Will the guidance be fixed or is the missile gonna keep staying like it currently is.
Same with JAGM, US can’t get shish in this game

Same with the Kh-59’s, terrain hugging breaks the point lock
Just play the 38MTs, they are the best fictional missile in game
US has flying plungers that kill 1/6th of the time
There’s Kh-38MT’s at 11.3??? Why didn’t anyone tell me!!!
Ou, you want lower BR, one sec
Play the Su-25BM at 11.0
Su-25SM3 at 11.7 with MTs
You get the KH-29TE at 11.3 which is currently better than any air launched US F&F CAS missile.
What do you mean by “lmao”, is there something in the US tree that im forgetting about?
Soo can any moderator confirm that it wil get repaired?
