other US LT & LT prototypes before that,
like Stingray II, M551-105, CAT LCV, export-HSTVL and XM1302 (M10’s competitor) etc …

Meanwhile Britain gets to enjoy its own tech tree M8 AGS variant before the U.S. for some reason…
CBU-105 would be so peak

lol … even before the Scorpion or Abbot even
M8 AGS should’ve been an US TT one.
while the BAE MPF could’ve been the premium

recently came across these pictures of what seems to be rocket launchers on f16C/D baraks, do you think these are some type of rockets?

These are either guided GATR or unguided Zuni rockets.
Might aswell add the Rafael (totally not from a animated video) Pantsir showcasing the SPICE 250 )))))))

It’s crazy how active the SHORAD movement is in the U.S. at the moment. I swear there’s like half a dozen new ones that enter testing each year.

Yea but I was just thinking about balance, since these do have ~247 HEAT submunitions per bomb.
Honestly, I dont think these will ever come with the call of duty like maps we have now.
They wouldn’t be all that effective, especially when we have ERA plastered MBTs and SPAAs to intercept these munitions and aircraft. We’ll find out eventually though, only a matter of time before they come to the game.
Each bomblet has more than enough armour pen to go thro most MBTs rooftops in the game rn. Even with ERA they would still disable the tank thro gun barrels, tracks, engines, etc.
Given it’s an unguided munition, it’s far from practical. It wouldn’t be extremely busted, but it would be much more effective than a standard dumb bomb yes. Guided munition will still be substantially stronger however.
Accuracy isnt really an issue if your plane has 4-8 bombs that deploy each 247 bomblets, that can cover very wide area.
The main issue is its annoyance, bomblets might not kill every time they hit but they can cover a very large radius and with the tiny maps in WT, you can quite easily predict where the enemy team is gonna be at. People are already unhappy with more and more things to repair and wait for, rockeyes and other cluster heat munitions would make it even worse.
But honestly, I want to see them anyway. Might force giajon to make actual large maps.
