There were 3 options I would have preferred to the Super Hornet (assuming we’re not getting the F-15EX either yet):

  1. F-15E RMP
  2. F-15C Late (in this case, the Golden Eagle)
  3. F-16C PoBIT

Any of these would be preferable to the Super Hornet because they can actually break M1.4. For a bit it was looking like Gaijin was going to add the Super Hornet and claim the US is doing fine because they now have an (extremely mid) AESA carrier.

But with the Golden Eagle, it can at least contend with the Eurofighters and Rafale now. The Super Hornet would have been a worse Su-30SM lol

whats also funny is when my black knight shoots down a kh-38 the massive war head still takes out everything on the tank.

5212

My claws doesnt do that

5213

Even there though, with a decently sized warhead, the ability to spam them cross map is notable.

Its why Grom-1s never made it to live and the KH-59s pale in comparison (longer range, bigger warhead (I think) and potentially more than just GNSS)

Given most nations dont even have anything that can compete with KH-38, they are the last nation that should get anything, let alone something that would break ARB/ASB with absolute totallity.

yes within range, but usually behind a mountain or terrain where you can quick peak over, fire 6 magical non-existant kh-38’s and land again. How is this FUN???

5215

the only current SPAA that can actually hit a target on the ground is IR so only really the IRIST SLM can all ARH missile completely fail to hit targets below 60m

5216

HUGE W for that claws destroying CAS rats

5217

Then why did Smin say that Spear-3s werent an option because they had too much range?

Theyd be a fraction of the strength of a Grom-1 or KH-59

5218

Also intercepted 4 out of 5 Khs before the last one got him.

5219

My exact question, he said they had too much range lol. maps are max 20 km’s anyways. just excuses for russian propaganda

If only,most maps you see directly to the airfield direction.

5221

Even in ASB with 130x130 maps.

Grom-1 wasnt added in the end because of exploitation. Spear-3 couldnt be used in the same regard due to tiny warhead.

KH-59 would be worse than Grom-1 in terms of that exploitation

I think it’s still going to get farmed by the Rafale if it gets too close, but it should at least be able to contend with the EFT in BVR.

Before it felt like the EFT was just better at BVR than the F-15E because of the flight performance. EFT will still have the flight performance advantage, but the F-15C GE at least has an advantage as well.

Idk,but we have GNSS Groms and noone is really using them. Spamming GNSS things on spawn is mostly pointless,cause you either hit some spaa that stayed there,or nothing,or you might get lucky it lands close to tank that just spawned. Or no. Its hit or miss.

5224

Also which missile killed u? If it was 120C7 it probably barely had any speed lol

5225

shame by the time most radar picks up an Su30SM they have already launched their missiles and landed literally had a game on fire arc where I shot down 27 KH38s in my skysabre and died due to him never showing up on radar and running out of missiles

5226

it was C7 and i was just sitting at runway. it was on Iberian Castle

5227

this is another question i have, why do most nato countries ATGM’s have no explosive and do 0 damage. Has russia just cracked the code by filling every missile with multiple tons of TNT or what

5228

a single helicopter can deplete all your missiles and all they have to do is land on the helipad they’re flying above.

5230

because they are the unpowered ones and actually require the player to climb and have speed to hit the target why do that when the GNSS of the ML can allow you to shoot from barely off of the runway and then just land before anyone can retaliate
