there is a pretty big difference in how A2G and A2A missiles damage the bombers in the testflight
a single AGR-20 (APKWS) is able to 1 shot a b17, while the Aim-54 cant with around 30 times the TNT equivalent

Absolute cinema, one of the updates of all time. If this hits live - using rockets will be the way to kill bombers lmao
Arado with gunpod will have like 7 K/D with this damage model

about that
I hope they similarly refine damage models for fighters as well. Ofc stuff like zeroes would stay the same or get worse but more solidly built aircraft could benefit
i am not very sure about that because this might turn WW2 brackets in a complete slopfest with people not dying at all
war thunder is on its way to becoming world of warplanes ‘-’
i’m gonna blame you and your K/D for that
you just need to adapt and learn how to hit bombers wit hdumb rockets as they will one shot them
(atleast for now)
nah, actually, we need to do this
unironically, I uninstall every time I get gaijined, one of these days I just wont have the patience to install it again
you can also link Rosoboronexport video about it, it talks in detail about Kh-35

A2G weapons for whatever reason create stronger fragmentation and have much larger areas of guaranteed damage
A2A fragmentation will stop after hitting one element of the plane but A2G ones can keep damaging stuff its strange
Edit: also the bomber damage model buff definitely means everyone who can get HE-VT fuses for their dumb rockets (anything with HVAR and im sure way more) should get them
I wonder what a Kh-38 or 29 would do…
they 1 hit
all A2G munitions that i tested did that
