That fair. They could probably add AI ones soon and player ones later
It might even be zero; they’ve had cruise missiles as mission targets in the past:
I’ve assumed that something similar to this will be the reason for the ATACMS being in the files and the unused ground targets such as BGM-109G and Tochka having launch animations.

Oh, I completely forgot about that one PvE mission that had the V-1 rockets flying towards Britain.
Anyways, this seems like the only good way to implement cruise missiles to me

im not reading the rest
Gaijin ?

Is it possible that the legacy hornet for british tech tree, the early russian navy 4th gen fighter aircraft in the researchable tree and the early PLANAF 4th gen fighter aircraft or early PLAAF 4.5 gen fighter aircraft coming to the second major update ?
New ship in WT Mobile:
This is one of the shorter turnarounds between JPN getting a new top ship and another top ship. As has become the norm, the ASROC and CIWS are hidden from view:

Yeah.

I’ve gotten it for destroying AAMs in ARB.

I really hope we get CBUs in 2025. I think they are the perfect next weapon to add. They wont be a top tier super weapon and they would give quite a meaningful buff to lower BR CAS that have been struggling. Also could be tuned to give non-napalm nations/aircraft a similar weapon in ARB/ASB

I’d love to see CBUs as well, but it just seems very unlikely that we will see them in WT. Having seen flechette and canister ammunition and cluster bombs in other games it just feels like too big of an ask for Gaijin to implement those weapons right.
Maybe they can get such weapons to work right without having the servers borking all the time, but personally I’m not convinced that they could do it.

And oh my lord, what a nightmare those things would be in GRB
I think its possible for the servers to handle it, if they modeled them the right way, at least they seem to no longer explode whenever a battleship fires all of its AAA or when an F-111 spams off rockets.
Actually, I doubt it, they usually required fairly specific drop conditions, including minimum deployment alts. That would leave you fairly vulnerable to SPAA. In an era where people are mad about people sitting outside of the range of SPAA and dropping GBUs “from space” I think giving them a half decent weapon to encourage them to do anything other than that would be worthwhile. Id kill for a Tornado in the British TT at 10.0 and I would be in it over the GR1A dropping GBUs every single time.
Does Gaijin realize that not all IR A2G missiles are OP as KH38MT? Now NATO is getting harder to use AGM65s to counterattacks

If they limit the number of bombs it might work out, like 2 per plane or something it would help. A plane dropping 10 of them at once will cause a hell of a lot more stress vs dropping 2 I would wager. Given you can have a bunch of people drop artillery at the same time and its “safe” so to speak, it might work out with a limited scope of how many submunitions are used.
Gaijin could also do it as an AoE field with a visual aspect, but for gameplay wise “if in the field” you die.
As it is gaijins implementation of napalm weapons tends to have this I think? Doesnt really matter what angle you drop a flame bomb, they always seem to have the same “damage/visual fire pathway”.
as for nightmare in GRB, I personally cant wait to start spamming gaijin with pictures of Strikemasters and Jet Provosts with CBUs at air shows and finding documents of the Jet Provosts with BL 755 capability xD
Gotta punish Tiger players harder man.

TBF, if the server treats as a giant HEAT shell which covers the entire area of the bomblets - then big maybe, and given the concentration, it might as well represent IRL leathality

will there be submarines???
will there be fire and forget missles for the AH64D???
will the HUD be fixed for the Eurofighter for VR??
Works for rockeye, but 105 and Drel have individually guided submunitions
Has been 2x test events and its entirely possible it could come with any major update. God knows when though,
The problem is the MMW seeker. its basically been hard denied now, with absolutely 0 alternative. You can read about their excuse here for another MWW seeker missile and the massive amount of nerfs it has recieved as a result
Spoiler
Gaijin takes an absolute age to fix anything that mostly affects SB players let alone the sub-community of VR users. Dont expect any fixes anytime soon. Especailly if all their VR related attention is directed solely at Aces of Thunder
