With the upcoming 2nd major update for this year (2025), Gaijin has proposed and they are adding the Falklands Islands to the game as a map for ARB and plausibly other game modes. With this map being added, and the history of the Argentinian Super Etendards (there is a skin for the plane in game already for it based off the real ANA) already. Will maybe now Gaijin will now consider adding the AM39 Exocet Anti-Ship Missile for the plane like it did in real life? Cause it is heavily plausible to bring it back in this next major update with the new map of being the Falklands Islands, and plus Gaijin wouldn’t be doing this if they are hinting of bringing this missile into the game for the Super Etendard.

Wrong Machinery of War section, although I’d love to see the MM.38 on the Bundemarine Type 143 FAC for the lolz & the reason to bloody grind the poxy vessel…

I wouldn’t be against it tbh, but what would you shoot with it ?
AI ships, already seen the models in the Moments of valour argentina video

There are ships in some sim maps.
That’s about it.
They really need to add everyones primary ASM.
Like Sea Eagle and EXOCET
They need to fix air rb maps first, overhaul the ground targets and bases system completely to make things like ASMs playable
Air Sim exists too, and we already have naval targets in that and it would be trivial to add AI naval targets to ARB.
its not just about adding targets, the way they are positioned on the map, the rewards they give and the way players spawn on the map makes attacking surface targets, especially at higher tiers, a waste of time and just asking to get shot down immediately
my only issue with the exocet being added is that naval doesn’t go high enough for the super entendards.
I do like the idea of countering entendards in my sea harrier tho.
Doesn’t go high enough YET.
County class destroyers, helicopter carriers, tomahawks, & CIWS are coming (in 5 years maybe).

It would also be trivial to add naval targets to the EC maps still missing it. Still don’t understand that the Sinai map - featuring one of the most busy waterways worldwide - is devoid of any ships.
I dont think naval has 5 years to get there, if gaijin doesn’t buck their ideas up its gonna be dead in 2

Naval would need a huge rework for that, to allow more modern ships, new classes of ships, and to revive the overall gamemode
The Sinai map already features unique units like underground tanks and IFVs.
I have a question about the TBA Multi-Dart 100 AB. The wiki says that each missile contains an array of six sub-calibre darts. However, when I test these missiles, they behave like a single kinetic penetrator. What am I doing wrong?

@DirectSupport might know.
But I guess either they are modeled as a single dart or they seperate at a moderate range?
No matter how many times I try, damage to vehicles is only dealt on a direct missile hit. And often one missile isn’t enough to destroy the target. So what’s the point of these sub-calibre darts?
Im not sure, I summoned Direstsupport because hes a french expert
They dont separate till about 1-1.5km after launch if I recall, they also dont work with CCIP and dont do much damage even if they do hit
