Its the equivalent of 1000kg of explosive with kinetic energy of a missile travelling at mach 2+
20 so even if 5 get through thats a crippled/sinking warship
isnt it made of aluminum? it would slightly dent the armor
and you have any sources for 1000tnteq warhead? not to mention Iowa has STS plating infront of the main belt so it would be like spaced armor vs HE
in ARB its gonna have less of an impact but for GRB and Sim its gonna make it a pretty stong plane since you got basicly “20-40km IR-Missiles” that only MAW will detect.
Warhead is 750kg HE or Nuclear
Then its warhead would be similar to 1000lb bomb since warhead weight is not just pure explosives
Uh we may have a slight issue with the premium F-2 ADTW, uh, do we want it to get AAM-4s or not is the question. Cause as it currently is it should, and lots, lots more.

missiles are part of the vehicle balance
and as it stands, the early F-2 was only able to guide Fox-1s or the AAM-4 in a Fox-1 mode

It also lofts right before impact
So, no, it has the J/APG-2, which can guide them, which while it should be the initial test which didn’t get them irl. The plane also has the J/AAQ-2 and JDAMs, which are only found on airframes with upgraded OFPs. And since it has both the J/APG-2 and the upgraded OFP, AAM-4s are fully functional on it.
The poll where i referenced is for whether we want it to lose the J/APG-2/Jdams or gain AAM-4s

So it gets shot down by the multiple CIWS, great
Some would
losing the JDAMS is more realistic because gaijin will not give it the AAM-4
From what I know just on naval ships.
Even if a couple got through, there is nothing they could meaningfully destroy in a lofting attack barring a direct hit on CIWS or the armored launchers for the missiles
Even then there are multiple so it could still defend/fire back
That was when the dev dropped, plus the M41D got like 20mm less 0deg pen at point blank as well(its an export grade XM885)
realistically losing the JDAMs is probably the best call and hopefully they actually let ASM-2 be realistic and usable against ground targets

Yes… the traditionally meaningless superstructure of an Iowa class battleship… Nothing up there at all.
that nerf affects every APFSDS
I haven’t been able to play a world war event, so do you have to have the vehicles to use them?
Isn’t there a really heavily armored bit?
And I think chances of Granit hitting the radars is very low
