the problem is that russia has much better anti radiation missiles for wt purposes

Not another one please…
everyone gets an IL-10
I haven’t checked and don’t see the point. The point is to give the US the Harmonic missile but not Russia because Russia has the Kh-38MT.
I’m not entirely sure if the AGM-84 can be used against tanks, as they are AShMs, like the ASM-1/2 on the F-2A
When looking for a Kh-38MT equivalent, the speed is the problem, not the range. There are barely any supersonic AGMs in the NATO inventory, most of them are subsonic or ARMs.

when they add anti radiation missiles, they will not limit them to just america. they will add them to all nations.
the russian kh-31p is a mach 3 anti radiation missile, I doubt anything america has is better than that.
And its not even the improved variant
kh-31p speed
kh-31pd stats (improved kh-31p)
I know you meant subtrees. I just wanted to have some fun with the wordplay.

The HARM is Mach 2.9 afaik
ALARM is close to Mach 2
Standard ARM is Mach 1.8
Sidearm is Mach 2.3
Shrike is Mach 1.5
Not sure if the later variants of the HARM are any faster, but I imagine they aren’t.

yeah, I’m not including r-27ep since who knows if gaijin will add that to the game as it’s kinda different (though it still gets a big enough warhead for use on ground targets)

I’m almost sure it will come, as well as Indonesian Tu-2 and Gaijin will tell us: “look we are adding 2 new 'WW2” planes this update, just as you asked!".
Although IL-10 at least will be sorta useful for Japanese TT, as well as Thai Firefly for example, since it still doesn’t have props of “attackers” class with which you could complete daily tasks.
Talking about Japanese TT I would love to see how they are going to fill lower ground TT levels.
Well, I’m of the opinion that ARMs just shouldn’t be added to ground battles at all
They are effectively permastuns against SPAAs, as they force the SPAAs to disable their radar and move into cover (if there even is cover on the current map)
The Kh-38MT would still be a much better weapon, even if ARMs were available, as just the possibility of an ARM approaching would force SPAAs to hide, meaning the rest of the attackers loadout can be filled with Kh-38MTs.
Meanwhile the other nations would still be limited to much less effective AGMs to pair up with their ARMs.

I can smell gaijin adding kh35 instead of kh31 in the harm update.
I have a feeling

AGM-84 Harpoons can’t, they are just anti-ship missiles. But AGM-84 SLAM-ER does have GPS+IR so it should be able too. (US Military and their naming scheme obviously missed this one).

That sounds like pure torture for SPAA players
You wouldn’t even be able to tell that they are approaching, as they behave like cruise missiles, just creeping towards the battlefield
Can’t have things being too hard for CAS at top tier, that would mean said CAS players would actually have to play ground vehicles.

Imagine having to use a tank to destroy SPAA

The Il-10 will be a CAS upgrade for Japan, and it will also reflect the growing disdain for Japanese aircraft. I really want to upgrade the CAS, but I know Gajin is super greedy and they probably won’t add any new Japanese aircraft for a long time. They just want money.

I mean they have room to go to 3.7 with that one line spare now
We could get a funny from one of them, but sadly, the exact armament used by the nation isn’t fully clear, as it is slightly different from the variant I know(not a 1-1 C&P).
My funny

I know with the order for the next BP the box will replace the air reward but a cool option for it in the future would be Old 666.
A B-17 with additional .50cals (including one for the pilot and also the story behind it is really interesting).
Or to go even more extreme the YB-40 which was meant as an escort version of the B-17.
