I wish the CAS players I encounter in top tier GRB were that bad at the game

Dunno, perhaps the fact that there are more aircraft than tanks in a game mode called “Ground Battles”

Yup, the Grom E1 apparently has a 250kg warhead, which is smaller than the warheads of most cruise missiles.

Though most cruise missiles have a penetrator warhead, meaning the amount of explosives in the warhead is smaller, but probably still close to the Grom E1. On the other hand the penetrator warheads would be pointless in WT unless we see new kinds of bombing targets (fortifications, ships, bunkers, etc).

Spoiler

Over penetrating tanks with huge missiles would result in some very funny kill cams tho

ADATS can still be buffed with a more controllable missile

Grom-1 was not introduced due to it’s range. Not it’s speed. That kind of range is a common factor of almost all modern cruise missiles (most even exceed that).

So we won’t get cruise missiles? Seems fair

I mean, why would they add cruise missiles anyways?
There is nothing in the game that would warrant such an addition.

Even if fortifications or destructible airfields were a thing in WT it wouldn’t be a good idea to add cruise missiles, as they would be very one-sided in terms of gameplay. There is no real interaction after launch, as they don’t need to be guided and trying to intercept them would not be very interesting and/or engaging gameplay either.

I stopped watching after the third “look, this guy shoot at someone through a window!” xD

As you said, there’s some actually neat stuff too- it’s only natural that not every clip is outwordly, after all, they gotta share several every Friday.

It is hard for me to believe that they don’t get enough worthy clips.
Like, surely they get plenty of clips that are more interesting and/or impressive than a heli using rocket pods as makeshift countermeasures.

Spoiler

Seriously, using rockets to destroy frontally approaching missiles or as makeshift flares is one of the most mundane things I can think of.

At this point I am convinced that you could make it into the Thunder Show by killing planes or even just Helis with A2G missiles

Tbh i dont really want to even try despite some of the random stuff ive managed to do being quite funny

if the problem is range (we all know you mean grinding sim with it) why not introduce weapon restrictions to game modes?

Happens with the bomb bay on the buccaneers too, It’s reaaaaally annoying. Happened cause you pitched down during bomb release, at least that’s when it happens most often on the buccaneers.
