Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

AGM-154 and 158

oh yeah fair enough

TBF, Paveway IV is only in use by the UK and Saudi Arabia IRL but all the Eurofighters have it in game, so for balance I don’t see why Finland couldn’t get Paveways at least and even Mavericks if they’re lucky

eh, eurofighters are special case. going by this logic, F-15E should carry JSOW’s (in the future) and SLAM-ER’s as well as popeyes.

Why would the Eurofighter be a special case? Israeli F-15Is have Mavericks now like I said, it seems they’re opening up on A2G weapons a little

didnt they only add them to F-15I since they proved it technically could, and israel has mavericks in its inventory

if finland doesnt have paveways or mavericks in their inventory they probably wont get them

They could also just add the laser JDAMs given that GPS/Laser guided bombs are now a thing in War Thunder

yeah, that would work

its pretty dumb they still arent on US jets seeing as we made LJDAM and were first to operate and test it

The LJDAM and Paveway IV basically happened at the same time, US was first by about a year, so it is really weird that we have one and you don’t

well, seeing as boeing make LJDAM, and raytheon made Paveway 4, we were first both times lol

Also would like to see JDAM-ERs seeing as China has 250 and 500kg glide bombs and Russia has a 3000kg one

we have that role filled by GBU-39 and hopefully soon GBU-53, but yes would be nice to ahve to pack some more punch

also LJDAM seeker can be put on JDAM-ER

That one can wait for a later date

really? its just GPS/laser combo

there is also a laser/gps GBU-39 they could and should add

TBH the LJDAM-ER would be a pain to use without something like buddy lasing, it’s like a KH-38ML with a flight time of 3-5 business days

yeah, part of why i think they should add buddy lasing

maybe only have it work in air RB and air sim, then move to GRB

Buddy lasing sounds great, but it might be awkward if more than one person is trying it at once, especially with how small the maps are

have it locked to squads then, model the FoV of the laser seeker

Makes squads even stronger than they already are, we want all features to be available to everyone, even if you don’t have friends

maybe lock it to certain modes? or only have it so scout drones or MQ-1 can do it?

but if its jet to jet, i think it should be locked to squads
