Major Update “Leviathans” — DEV Server Changelog (16.06.2025) - dev server is closed

Premium F/A-18C unnecessary asymetry - Dev Server “Leviathans” / General Discussion - Dev Server - War Thunder — official forum

Still no fixes for the Roma. Still missing so much stuff

An AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missile fired from a U.S. Navy Bell HH-1K  Huey just before it hits an M41 Walker Bulldog at the U.S. Navy Naval  Weapons Center (NWC) China Lake, October

That’s because SLM’s motor burns for 15 seconds total, AIM-120C’s burns for 7. SLM’s motor is also more powerful. SLM accelerates faster and stays at its top speed for longer, so it has more range than AIM-120C.

I’m not saying AIM-120C is bad, I’m saying SLM was actually designed for ground launch and AIM-120C was not.

Like I said to the other guy, the AIM-120C’s motor burns for 7 seconds, whereas SLM’s motor burns for 15 seconds. SLM’s motor is also more powerful. SLM was purpose-designed for stationary vertical launch, AIM-120C was not.

yes, SLAMRAAM-ER would be the more appropriate comparison

Yes, but unfortunately we are getting baseline AIM-120C-5s to start with. Still a good missile tho.

So with the introduction of the F-2 fighter and its anti-ship missiles, is there any particular reason why the US hasn’t received the AGM-84s? Just out of curiosity. If there are other nations with anti-ship missiles that have not yet been included (I personally dont know what other nations have), is there a dev reason why we haven’t seen them?

From an Air SB perspective, they would be nice to have for Denmark.

Ru is missing it’s anti ship missiles too
Kh-35 (under Su-30SM, Su-34 ans Ka-52 if they add the Ka-52K)
Kh-31A (under Su-30SM, Su-39, Su-34, and iirc 29SMT)
i’m probably forgeting one

Arent all of the AGMs that Soviet currently has basically AShMs?

no, these are their main AShMs

note the Kh-31 has an anti radiation variant for SEAD and multiple improved variants of the anti ship and sead variant

Sure. Like I said, if other nations are missing them, just curious as to what’s preventing their implementation?

probably speed and range as the Kh-31 are 100km+ range missiles with mach 2+ speed

Probably the fact that, in-game, they’re completely useless in 99% of ground and air battles

that too

Please refer to the part of my message eariler where I said they would be great for sim battles, especially on Denmark (the most popular air sim map). That map has quite a few ships.

Gaijin doesn’t care about Sim lmao
They won’t model multiple AshM for multiple nations just so that a few sim players can plink AI targets with them
The ones we currently have in game are just here as a gimmick

So, the ones they are adding this update are going to be a massive gamechanger…?

No ?
Like the rest of AShM, the ones on the F-2 are just useless gimmicks
I genuinely don’t even know why they even bothered adding them

the ASM2’s should have an IR seeker but gaijoobles made them arh only
