Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

So what about the CM502 of the Z10ME?

They’ve already said no multiple times

Gaijin try not to screw over US jets #2713

Well, 2 BOL can go on the double rails so it’s interesting they only show 1

Exaggeration much?
A TGP is not screwing over the US jets…

Wouldn’t that thing just be flat out OP?

Would be great but Smin did answer this already

Stupid decision though since it would be a good buff to the A-10C, Harrier GR7 and Tornado GR4. But it shouldn’t be limited to just one aircraft it should have been added for all that could carry it and use it.

Like ATFLIR that could go to the US F/A-18C Late, LJDAM’s for a lot of western aircraft, BOL pods for US planes just to name a few that have been kept special for some aircraft

Not really.
seeker lock range would be much lower than 25km
11kg warhead so ~5-6kg HE or SAP-HE warhead
So not really any better than a spike

How much lower is the critical question

That’s for gaijin to decide but probably ~8km
Since the 25km range relies on LOAL

8km would be okay i guess.

I seen a couple people speculate like 15km which would just be busted OP lol.

Yeah what is the deal with Gaijin just randomly selecting what version of TGP to give aircraft?
No US aircraft have SNIPER or Litening V…
Typhoon is using Litening 3
Some jets are using TIALD when they could use far more modern TGP and I wont believe TGP is a balancing decision or would risk BR increase.

The thing is since it doesn’t have a HEAT warhead it might struggle with MBT’s depending on loft angle

Yes it is, when no SNIPER on A-10 means it’s still limited to less AGM-65 and on the F-15E means it is still limited to only 120 countermeasures out of 240, while the F-15I gets 240 countermeasures even with the lantirn pod reduction

And all the EGBU’s, they have been in use with the US for a long time now. The F-117 should really have them

Aye, i get that, i just worry about a situation where an RU or CN Heli have 12+km F&F’s.

(Entirely because the only SPAA capable of hitting a Heli that far belong to those nations - It would be another KH38 situation where the only counter to the problem exists on the same team as it).

If they are limited to 8km though, that would be fine.

Oh shut up please, I can have an option !

When did they say this?

Id say the range really doesn’t matter in this case.

since any compete player would only be visible/out of cover for a few seconds with FnF ATGM’s like the Eurocopters, 129’s, Tigers, Shekel-Hawk ect. They’re already pretty unkillable if the pilot is competent. Only counter is a plane realistically

Time to see if we can get a too-scale Falklands map at some point
