Of course, doing this would only be possible with training, however it is not impossible (it’s even rather easy in realism, the fact of being able to see where your weapon is continuously allows you to estimate precisely when it arrives).
Another tactic would be to just circle the battlefield at a distance of 20km and at high altitude, this would allow to fire the AASM (the AASM being able to hit targets at long distances even when firing at high angles) while remaining protected from the Pantsirs (however vulnerable to enemy aircraft)
Yeah but then again it implies tactics, which is what i tried to point to that guy saying AASM would be OP. The effectiveness of AASM would rely on the ability of the player to use his brain and his ability to maintain situationnal awarness while on the other hand a weapon like KH38 can be used totally braindead because the best SAM Russia can face is the Ito with the 12km range VT1s while western countries have to deal with the 20km Pantsir missile. If somehow France got a vehicle able to use the 15km VT1mk3 this would be a bit different as Russian would also have to take more risks to fire a KH38 but it’d still be easier to use than an AASM.
The Su34 would be forced to orient itself towards the target to aim and fire the Kh38 due to the limitations of the aiming pod. Additionally, the Kh38 has a fire clearance zone that is truly centered forward. The AASM can be fired at 90 degrees to the side without problem because the French aiming pods allow it and in addition the weapon can be fired towards any direction, whether in front, to the side or behind
The only weapons currently in play that can do this kind of shooting at 90 degrees from the plane’s heading are planes with JDAMs or with Chinese GPS bombs. However, these weapons have neither the range nor the precision/guidance of the AASM
I imagine that the GBU-39 and Gromm2 will be able to hit targets perpendicular to their aircraft but they will again have neither the range nor the precision of the AASM.
EDIT : I just tried, you can’t hit a target 90 degrees from your plane with a JDAM, the maximum is about 60 or 70 degrees
Su-34 can use Gen 2 thermals on the onboard KH-38MT which have 55 degree gimbal limit and sufficient agility at max off bore launch 14 - 20 km (14 km being the lock range of enemy SAM). I will do this after update. Circling and firing KH-38MT from side if I don’t get city map.
i think so ? lol i’m too dumb and sleepy to be sure.
The chaff went from 48 to 112 but no idea if everything is correct tho.

Otherwise for mirage 4k still no change and mirage 2000 rmv got his icon and the pgm ir i’m not sure it was added when dev server was still open.
Still only magic 2 as missile.
This is correct for S5. 5F and 5EI still have incorrect CM Counts. They are supposed to have a few more normal countermeasures; will be fixed in a Dev Server update hopefully.
A little bit off topic, but I wish F-16AM also got its HMD fixed and can carry another missile in its MAW Pods. There’s already someone reporting it, but there’s no update regarding it will be implemented or not.
If you wish to make a report on the radar you are welcome to do so otherwise I’ll get around it when possible. From a quick glance the name may be corrected, though the CAPS is not wrong and maybe the x-ray of the radar can be looked at.
