I wished things were different regarding tanks vs CAS, but they aren’t.
Ye JDAMs are fun. LJDAMs are much much better tho. Sadge its only 500lb
GPS on kh38 is is major buff. Its like having to laser guided bomb and laser + GPS bomb. If u ask me theres a very significant difference between these 2. Same with kh38. GPS also improves “locking time” on missiles

Either way I’ll still be using GPS bombs next major.
Finally I can feel the rush of avoiding SPAA again for the first time since mid 2022.

I would not bother replying to Alvis; they are a very pro-anything Russian vehicle person who has stated that the 2s38 is very balanced and not comparable to the HSTV-L, while also claiming that a higher rate of fire is not an important attribute for a vehicle’s ability to kill. In terms of the KH-38, it really does not need this buff. Sure, it may have a smaller warhead than bombs, but it is much faster than any other air-to-ground ordinance in the game and can be fired from an airfield, which is a major game changer. Furthermore, if Gaijin does add this, then there really isn’t much reason not to add the 114L, which will be a slow missile and still require the Apache to expose itself mostly.

Yea… Good luck with that. Flying high will make ur bombs intercepted easily flying low will make u to get closer. My poor A10C 😭
Please use OTOMATIC, it’s the real name
Sorry, it was late and I was tired and hot. It won’t happen again 🫡

You better behave yourself soldier! You have been warned and you won’t get away with it next time! 🫡

It seems the SLM has about a 20km death zone, if you pull off before that range or if you are at least not closing in and you’re somewhat fast, you can evade it. You can also evade it more easily if you get really close (and still fast), but if you don’t kill them, you might eat the missile on your way out.
For low altitude runs, GNSS weapons at least can still get considerably range, like 10-15km, maybe more. 20km is stretching it though, unless you are using the Kh-38 or glide bombs maybe. Maybe hammers, PGMs or the AGM-130 can get good range from low altitude launches as well, well hammer I feel definitely can.
A-10C is going be very dead though. It is forced to be close and low, especially with the SLM existing. But the problem there now is that, breaking LOS isn’t enough anymore with LOAL stuff. You will just die if people get their missiles off on you. Only the ARH missiles you can reliably defeat.
It’s was due time for AAs to ditch SACLOS guidance as just breaking LoS from the truck itself was pretty easy.
We will see. I m feelin it havent said it last word
HMD on the A-10 is really nice
One thing I though about that could make it survive against the new IR missiles is to continuously flare. The new “IIR” missiles just have both existing type of IRCCMs, with a starting FoV of 5°, it’s pretty easy to trigger the seeker shutoff and abuse that to prevent getting locked onto. If it does lock onto you (and FoV goes to 0.25°), I don’t think you can do much about it though.
I’ll maybe try the A-10C out a bit after the update, but I suspect it’s just not going to be that good. Wish they would fix the stupid rocket CCRP bug though, would be really helpful.

Yea… Rocket CCRP would be great. They havent implemented it to the game i think. CCIP on APKWS is bugged for some unknown spaghetti code reason.
Tho from what i ve seen (keyword xD). New spaa are crap at close ranges due to their vertical launch and everyone knows what it means to get close with a10 :D
We could also get radar jammer. Since it sits at 12.0 same with new spaa thats kinda not funni
We don’t need radar jammers, we need proper decompression of ground as 12.0 simply isn’t enough anymore. AAs are, in my opinion, even more compressed than MBTs, which speaks volumes.

Oh yeah I meant the CCIP, annoying bug. APKWS would be very useful with it, but without it, it’s pretty easy to make them overfly the target or fall short.
Rocket CCRP would be really cool to have too.
I think at the ranges you can jam te wez, so to speak, of the new SAMs, you become extremely vulnerable to proxy fuse vehicles. The 2s38 stays very common at least, so there’s usually going to be at least one to kill you then.

Im certain you have misunderstood or misread mode name. Its called ground targets battle

Personally, I dont really care about this addition because kh38 carriers will mostly use mt version because its still efficient even against new spaa unless you are straight flying brick.
At this point (when teams consist of random countries (china and us vs ussr and israel for example)), devs should allow matchmaker to allow ussr play against ussr, germany - vs germany etc. It would be more balanced than what we have rn. Also kh38 enjoyers will have a chance to taste their own medicine.
U can mark the spot where u have ur sight stabilized at. Then deactivate sight stab and viola u have ur ccip. U have to be quick so that marker wont disappear
I ve killed countless pantsirs with that
