I think that would be its main intended use case. But being TV guided, could make a semi-usable CAS weapon as well
it’d be a british Kh-29T
so one more ground target hunter
But with 150kg warhead and 30 ish nm range.

Nutty
It was primarily designed for use against ships, but there’s nothing that would stop it from also being used against ground targets.
so just like a Kh-29T
and it got 3 of them, it’ll be a nice plane
I’ve been semi-expecting the Buc S2B as Britains Premium answer to the A-10, A-6 and Su-25. 2x 9Ls and good but crazy CAS loadout.
That’s for the anti-radiation version. The TV version had a out 30 km range.
either way too far to use the TV guidance effectively in game

Ah… Still more than enough for WT
Not quite. The Kh-29T is fire & forget, while the Martel data-links video back to the aircraft and the navigator manually flies the missile into the target.
Could you run the Pavespike pod at the same time to improve lock range? Would use up another slot though
Assuming that part was modeled and it wasnt just a standard TV guided weapon like we have in WT already
You don’t lock a Martel, you manually fly it to the target.

in that case they’ll model it either as Manually guided missile, TV FnF or just don’t add it at all
I guess we’ll see
Thinking about it. It would be really cool if the F-14 could receive drop tanks at any point.
and many other planes like for example the J35 which honestly really needs them
Yeah, I hope for another round of drop tanks.
