Any source for that ?
I know the total weight of the warhead is 165kg, but I was never able to confirm the proportion of explosives
Yeah, implementing cold-war era ships with ASMs will require some reworking of the map/game design. Which Gaijin has been… let’s be generous and say “slow” at making those changes.
That said, I think they should add those vessels as part of expanding the game mode and keeping the game fresh with more content for years to come.
If I had one I would’ve posted it, the value is just from memory as the missile has a SAP warhead

Yes so I can get Sweden
Based on Gzabi’s spreadsheet for the datamine, the Exocet would have a warhead of 104.8 kg, but this is according to Gaijin’s preliminary modeling.

Mustve been thinking of a different missile then
It’s possible, however I would still take the data from the datamine with a grain of salt since the missile was only quickly modeled by Gaijin (given that it’s not yet in the game). I also had in mind that the Exocet doesn’t have a very large quantity of explosive; that remains to be seen.

YJ-81 which is in game (SAP-HE), basically a chinese exocet with a warhead of 165kg (like exocet), has 90kg of eq TNT, so it would not be surprising to see Exocet in the same ballpark

Cute free RP you got there.
Not that hard. PT boats are only annoying to hit, not an actual threat.
Edit
Also with the way missiles are modeled in Warthunder, they literally do nothing to anything larger than a DD unless it’s a cruiser with a god awful ammunition layout.
Maybe you’re not familiar with the Termit, that’s basically a 1000 lb bomb.
There are anti-ship missiles that absolutely would worry high-tier naval vessels.
Again, with the way ship based missiles work in warthunder, they currently do nothing to ships larger than drestroyers and some cruisers
1k lb bombs also tend to be highly inconsistent as well.
I do not trust Gaijin in somehow making Termits more than worthless. (Read: actually useful)
It’s a hollow charge high explosive so it has a armor penetrating effect.
Cute free RP… that can launch what is essentially a guided Mig-15 with a bomb strapped to the nose
And Gaijin will somehow make it do no damage more than half the time because of spaghetti code.
Not only by the code, but also actual missile won’t work ships bigger than heavy cruiser, even with hollow charge.
anti-air missile says hello
2.5T gigantic missile flying subsonic and, dare i say, not even that low
Will need to send a lot to overwhelm some ships
