Are you sure? That’s June of 2025

I mean, it says last june when talking about air fan sooo yeah ?

@Macron-Spokesman they nerfed the hammers btw

This was expected yes. The original report for Mach 1.4 release used a falsified source. Basically the tri rack ejector is capable of supersonic ejection, but the AASM itself doesn’t have any sources stating that (contrary to what the devblog says, it’s not the rack but the bomb itself which is not supersonic released)

The ejector rack is made for bombs to be released at supersonic speed
The mach 1.4 figure though from what ive seen was was for the 125kg variant and not the 250
kg

Mirage 2000 and Rafale ejectors are capable of releasing 1000lb and 2000lb bombs depending on the ejector


I would need to check, but I believe the tri-rack uses the light duty ejectors, hence with a weight limit that is enough for the 250kg bombs + AASM kit

Its also why people were complaining about the tornado and ef2k not being able to drop above mach 1 despite visually confirmation and probably documentation of the usage of ejector pylons
