Well technically richeilieu as well
Is there anything like the US getting a GPS+IOG+LASER bomb?
What is the Kh-59 vs the Kh-38?
Kh-59 is the soviet equivalent of the PGM-500/2000 or AGM-130

As long as the soviets don’t need it, then the rest don’t need it either? As with NCTR? I am honestly very surprised by the implementation of DASS on the Typhoon and the analogue on the Harrier
As far as I remember, some late AGM-62/65/130 and PGM-500/2000 could transmit a picture and receive target designation through their sighting system after launch. It would be interesting to wait for the Kh-59 at least to see how the gaijins will approach this issue.
Technically, I don’t see any problems with the implementation at all. The launched weapon can be implemented as a drone or reconnaissance aircraft. Like on a light tank or in naval battles and just switch to it. And you can aim by simply moving its aiming point as if you were controlling a TGP. But the snail considers this imbalanced, just like brimstones.
And as a result, pilots who do not play tank mode are limited in the functionality of their weapons, simply because there are disadvantaged tankers in the game. And gaijins cannot or do not want to limit weapons by mode. Here are touchy tankers, so you can’t do it here, but here there are no tankers, bots do not take offense, so have fun to your heart’s content. It’s a shame

it should have been added before than the kh 38 if you ask me, sure lots of range but it is far more balanced than the kh38

I guess so, I’m just annoyed by the lack of high tier ground vehicles…

The thing is, having the MITL capability modelled only in air modes would be pretty pointless, so I don’t see why they would model it and then disable the functionality in ground (and naval) battles.
No way they are adding some Chinese guided bombs before Laser SDB
LJDAM series, EGBU series, Laser SDB all have that
So far F/A-18C late is only US jet with laser+GPS+iog

Just a guess, but they probably consider laser guided SDBs a tad overpowered
The Chinese ones are laser+gps too. Which is why it doesn’t make sense to me
More like AGM-84E SLAM.
Maybe even SLAM-ER
First, we don’t know if they are actually coming, they are only in the files so far.
Second, what plane carries them? How many does it carry?
The F-15E would carry like what, 20 SDBs?
for me i need mode for tank only and i will be the most happy tanker ever
Should be 28 but currently, yes
And basically everything modern/modernish in top tier US can carry them

The regular Kh-59 is nowhere near the AGM-84E
What’s the range on regular Kh-59?
Less than 100km, some sources I’ve found state around 70km, probably less.
Judging by how similar it seems to the AGM-130 and PGM-2000, it most likely has a similar range.
The Kh-59M would be the counterpart to the AGM-84E
I’ve seen 93-110km for AGM-84E so not that far off
