so there is stuff that can readily match an F-15E with 28 GBU-53 now?
Huh no the 48 missile are limited to 6km.
Please dont speard misinformation
they had a 40km range on the stat card in the dev stream? my bad
not until other nations get similar capabilities
they already have SPICE-250 which are pretty much 1:1 with what the GBU-53 will probably be ingame
their HE mass is also still more then the rapiers HE mass and it can still one shot most of the time
Thats the kenetic type of missile.
and you keep asking for 28 of them which is the issue not the GBU53 itself, if it came on F-16s with a max of 8 then sure
But that doesnt mean that the F-15E should get 28 of them. 8-16 at most
so other countries can get 16, but US has to be stuck with 8 even though we made a heavy strike fighter for a reason? thats like saying its unbalanced for the F-111A to carry more bombs than a Harrier
now there is a counter so it should be added
Gaijin dont go by that.
Its the amount of fnf in one plane.
Exemple the max any plane should take is 8-16.
F15e wont have 16 plus 6 mav for exemple because it goes above 16 fnf limit
16 IS unbalanced look at the gripen E when it came out it instantly became the best CAS plane in the game, this isnt some slight against the US having 16 IR guided bombs just isnt balanced not until most nations get somthing equal to the new pantsir SM
if they just placed a cap at 16 and let us pick where the GBU-53 go that wouldnt be too bad.
Yep, so 2x4 on another set of pylons, 2x4 on the same pylons used for the Mavs
thats one of my issues with limiting to 16, they will force the pylon placement and not let us pick where it goes
They never let player pick.
Wont chnage for now.
Because will find a way to abuse it
how? the most someone could do is minimize the loss of AAM’s to 1 AIM-120 with good placement for a total of 16. or not have to run CFT and not lose any AAM with 12
770g of TNT equivalent gives me a lot to think about…
In every other metric, these missiles appear to be excellent (other than not being fire-and-forget); but 770g… it would require a precise strike to destroy the plane, wouldn’t it? Which, on the other hand, shouldn’t be hard with a 75G overload.
Its not a explosive but rather metal radio fuse type of warheads
You are forgetting the soviet special sauce, it will probably one shot everything that isnt a soviet aircraft with ease
and that is a bigger warhead than Stinger or Rapier (though Rapier is bad example to use that it will be fine as that averages 4 missiles per target)
