one new bomb just honestly isn’t even remotely enough to add a whole new aircraft that’ll cost 450K RP to research to the game

2438

When a new type of weapon is introduced into the game, it is usually distributed to all existing carriers.

Get a vehicle that can only destroy SPAA? Thanks, but I’d rather get a vehicle that can destroy any type of ground vehicle.

5 hours of play with a premium account on a premium plane/plane with a talisman. What a waste…

thr ECRs Have recived ASSTA 1, 2 and 3 too

they can carry all weapons a german IDS of the same ASSTA can carry with exception of the cannons

in the place of the cannons it gets an ELINT Emitter locator system and HARM III

if that were true the ASSTA 1 Tornado and the F-104G would have gotten Komoran 1

There is an opinion that this is a completely useless weapon against the SPAA presented in the game.

2443

Why do you need them? To do nothing? Or to launch them at ships in test flights?

2444

which isn’t true

the only SPAAs in game that it couldn’t track would be those without scanning radar and the pantsir

oh ho why is it about needing all of a sudden?

why do you need the same Tornado again? to do nothing the other one couldn’t do either?

The SPAA radars in the game are too small. Also, the HARM has a remote detonation and deals damage primarily with fragments, all that the HARM will do in the game is break the radar and possibly hit the crew members.

2447

Launch them at ships in Air EC.

2448

not even gonna argue about that with him

people just ignore the most fun Gamemodes it seems

I’d still like them for AI (larger) radar targets in EC.

Do I need LJDAM, which is significantly better than Paveway II, or are you suggesting waiting for ECR, which I may not introduce at all, or Typhoon, which is delayed until 2025?

2451

except that SPAA radars aren’t “too small”

if they emit a signal strong enough to detect you then they emit a signal strong enough to be tracked by a HARM

Funny how the best game mode in War Thunder is the one receiving the least attention by devs. Imagine if it were actually getting some real development from a larger team.

So in terms of WT basically nothing different thanks for clearing that up.

2455

Will you give an example of HARM defeating something like 2S6? Or will you continue throwing empty words?

2456

LJDAM…
