no reason other than they dont want to allocate the resources towards it

Oh interesting. I can watch it still xD
Feels like it’s becoming every bloody update man. Why Gaijin didn’t just give them the Kh-31 L111/L112/L113 as balance between range/speed v the ability to fire on anything but gotta be far closer is beyond me.

Not even joking, I have a post here on the forum talking about how the aced Ai gunners on bombers don’t even match the most basic of training for real life gunnery requirements. They really do need to overhaul bombers

I know it will be a bit but for those that don’t know the Blue side is getting better ARM…prob next update as said by Smin!
I see more VT1s shooting down enemies on nuclear thunder than simp/t, pretty sad.

Would be nice if the HARMs would actually do their job. I just got a triple hit on a single 2S6 and all it did was yellow the radar and gun. Then again, the Ai are cracked out and firing missiles through forests so not much we can do other than pray they HARMs work as you can’t get IR guided munitions to lock through the forests.
Can japanese F-16 OCU and F15JM get a AGM-88C please? . Japan TT have not much option for SAED it only have F-18D with HARM (and F-18 is very slow) and SU30MKM with KH-31PD .
KH-31PD is good but it cant turn in the short range
F-18D has less CAS option compare to F16OCU (jp)
SU-30MKM has a good CAS option but it so havy and slow compare to F-15JM
can we just get AGM-88C for F-16 OCU and F-15JM ??
F-16 maybe, F-15 you’re gonna have to explain where the heck you think they’d put the HARM
I dont know lol maybe just F-16 OCUthat enough
You can try to find proof that the OCU can carry them and make a bug report. As for the F-15, it can’t carry HARMs. The only F-15s that can are the advanced eagles (F-15EX and such) as they get extra pylons under the wings
I’m not having problems with the 88C vs the 2S6
Well, I’ve added a few videos in the chat about the struggles I’m having. They’re either straight up missing, detonating early, hitting the same SPAA multiple time with little damage, zooming off course for no reason and death looping vertically, etc.
No matter how much you nerf the redfors AD it won’t matter as long as they have greatly superior ramjet ARMs. Nothing really changed, Redfor can just take off and launch on all SAMPT and SYPDER, effectively decapitating bluefor AD.
pretty sure since the JM isnt a strike eagle variant and its purely air dominance fighter, i doubt it’ll ever get HARMs, i dont even think the strike eagle has HARMs yet, f16 might get it w some evidence of that japanese variant carrying it
Narrowband seeker on older Russian ARM would be an issue only in GRB, in Nut Thunder with fixed SAMs, everyone would just load up L111 and achieve the same goal of silencing SAMP-Ts by 10th minute. Kh-31P is bit slower, but it is still ramjet missile and still can be carried in high quantity per fighter aircraft.
Restricting Kh31 carriers to two missiles at most, 4 for Su-34 would be closer to a “fix” of “you need teamwork to do SEAD effectively”.

Building the Tower of Babel is easier than finding teamwork in War Thunder

We’d also like to point out that we don’t want to significantly nerf the air defences overall, as this could devalue teamwork in suppressing air defence groups and make the mode much less distinct from Air Realistic Battles with respawns
I’m not the madman in quest of building tower of babel here, Gaijin is.

Is that teamwork the KH-31PD that we randomly tossed 1 minute after we took off?
I did much teamwork yesterday!
