They can, but it depends on the bomber and where they hit said bomber
That’s not limited to AIM-4s either
ECM is FORCED to come because of what BVVD said logistics aircraft there needs to be ECM first…
inb4 L/DIRCM for everybody

C-5 the size to Texas without ECM would be really fun… (still would be fun actually)
helis and cargo benefit from this a lot next update should just be cargos and countermeasures and should be called “cargo age” lol and we have V-22 hopefully
yes please, my HOJ capable missile will be very happy

what in game currently has this like pl12A or aim120D or something?
Every (modern) ARH. I think some SARH as well
(If you meant if they have a basically “HOJ = Yes” value in files, no. Not yet)
then we must hope the Damage models BVVD talked about nerfs that but I will say we should have a damaged cargo even if we survive a missile hit
That has nothing to do with the missiles with HOJ though, unless you choose to severely uptier yourself
would it be a Tech Tree line or something like how in nuke thunder you spawn b-52 , 11.7 MAX for these or strongest ECM if they are forced to go to 14.7
Other than some prox fuse wierdness, ive not had any issues shooting down any aircraft with the new damage model with missiles.
With the IR guidance changes, the kill rate is gunna increase a lot.
747 freighter in game and war thunder will be looking like microsoft flight sim
aim9X hopefully for planes too currently it seems close to the r73 turn rate but the main difference of the IR changes would be seekers and counter resistant

AIm-9X wouldnt be added in a vacuum.
would be added alongside:
- R-74
- ASRAAM
- IRIS-T
- Python-4 or 5
- AAM-5
- PL-10
And just hope they add the BLK2 Aim-9X otherwise the US is screwed if its just the BLK1

Why would they need to introduce proper ECM, if those logistics aircraft aren’t playable?
We don’t know if they will even be player controlled yet
They won’t add a lesser version. These days we get the best version of everything (of course not Brimstones /s)
Would still be hilarious though if they did add just the blk1 :D

yea that would be fun but also boring… I hope its a small new line for cargo planes controlled by players but since BVVD also hinted helis maybe we could see them controlled by people and it would still likely have some kind of ECM
If there is enough of a difference between block 1 and block 2 AIM-9Xs there is a chance of them being added seperately
tbh, this is what im expecting. Blk1 around 0.3 to 0.7 below most other IIR missiles including BLK2.
Kinda like Aim-120B is to Aim-120C5
