Why the heck is the hornet 14.0?
10 AMRAAMs, which means very little with how sluggish they are.
fecking stupid
If it was the later version with an AESA radar, I’d understand, but as is it really is bloody stupid.

exactly especially the finnish one
The Finnish one being 14.0 is indeed especially baffling.
Might another thread or off-topic thread
But I not see prototype first flight
We (the Dutch) had an FT17 too, but it ended up in a swamp or something, so I guess Shrek is happy with it
I don’t, big ugly sub. The Sen-Toku is cool tho. Type IX my personal favourite
the F-22 can’t even carry targetting equipment for a2g, and datalink is far from being a thing in warthunder… How would it use jdam?
Irl raptors need a buddy to aim for them
It has already used JDAMs, they are GPS Guided bombs. I believe its only combat deployment was actually Air to Ground missions with JDAMs.

U sure? I remember reading somewhere that it couldn’t aim a2g by itself
Also it destroyed chinese balloons too

I believe you are talking about Laser-guided bombs, which you are right about. It doesn’t have any targeting equipment so it relies on buddy-lasing to guide them.
However the JDAM is a GPS guided bomb and doesn’t need any input from the carry aircraft besides entering the coordinates at the start of the mission.
Oh alright, good to know

Don’t need laser for JDAM
It looks cool just because it is so big. Like the Mi-26
It’s a shame they never armed the Mi-26 or CH-53 with missiles lol
