That wasn’t even a cruise missile though
yeah like I dont think its gonna be that good besides killing stationary spaa in spawn or bunkers in ARB lol
why isnt the grom-1 a cruis missile but the spear 3?
the grom-1 is a rocket boosted grom-2
What?? the Grom 1E? that was a cruise missile
Rocket boosted vs jet powered through much more of its flight time
where is it stated that a cruise missile has to be jet powered?
A cruise missile is an unmanned self-propelled guided missile that sustains flight through aerodynamic lift for most of its flight path. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large payload over long distances with high precision.

literally just cherry picking at this point because it doesn’t fit your argument
Wait for him finding a singular source saying that cruise missiles have to be jet powered
Grom-1 is closer to a ballistic weapon defined by the source (like basically every other boost bomb in game) since it has a short boost phase and then unpowered trajectory.
1st of all the developers called it a cruise missile themselfs
2nd of all the grom-1 dosent have a ballistic flight trajectory
Ballistic missiles are powered initially by a rocket or series of rockets in stages, but then follow an unpowered
trajectory that arches upwards before descending to reach its intended target.
(your source)
but do you know what they do?
Cruise missiles are self-propelled for the most part of their flight, flying in a relatively straight line and at lower altitudes due to rocket propellant.
but in the end how does that change the argument in any way?
you still didnt provide a singular good reason why a gps only spear 3 couldnt be added
Didn’t know Grom could sustain level flight after the initial boost phase
And GPS only Spear 3 would be a whole new class of weapon at a lower BR than it should be. It makes more sense to add more accurate SPEAR 3 at a maybe .3/.7 higher BR for ground (idc for air)
gaijin didnt bother adding accurate brimstones, so what makes you think they would add an accurate spear 3
The game will probably be in a later stage, after the promised better SPAA are added, and I’m hopeful they’ll add chaff smoke grenades so MMW can have a counter for the average tank.
expectations only cause dissapointment, so good luck with your hope

Eh the SPAA could probably justify it anyways. But chaff smokes would be nice
And also, since max range apparently isn’t a concern for @Smugspite and it’s numbers over explosive mass that make something strong for you, wouldn’t it make sense to add earlier cruise missiles like Storm Shadow and Taurus first?
All guided weaponry is limited by the tgp range currently and iam not seeing any changes to that anytime soon
Map marker thing?
Stormshadow and Taurus would have the same issue as Grom 1 where you could actually kill bases from the runway
They could reduce effectiveness of cruise missiles on bases if it was that bad. Or they could add basic CRAM to bases that only shoots at projectiles
You won’t hit a vehicle or a howizer in rb for example accurately with a map marker
