Is that a heat seeking JDAM?

A Chinese IR glide bomb, like Spice 250.

I’m still bummed out we couldn’t keep the Spad…

I also wouldn’t mind the airship. We need more WW1 stuff for sure (even though they’re slow and borderline useless most of the time idc it’s hilarious). The bomber is unironically faster than my original Po-2 which I find to be incredibly funny.

+1 That’s true would be nice of gajin add them

So @Smin1080p_WT When are we getting more South African aircraft in the British tree like the ATLAS Cheetah or the Mirage IIICZ/AZ or the ATLAS Impala Mk.2?

@Smin1080p_WT Are the devs considering adding JAGM-F to US aircraft so that they can have the same/similar capabilities as the Typhoons/Gripens/Tornados for CAS.

I also want to ask about the SDB-II, which is basically a SPICE equivelant. Im wondering why these munitions still havent been added to the US tree when other nations get equal munitions.

Not sure about the Chinese ones, but I’ve spotted these being new for USSR, Germany and Britain

The unlockable German desert camo is similar to the existing GE one, but has green spots instead of chocolate brown

what do you need a cruise missile for, hitting that buk from 300 km???

also, with a missile that does not change target past launch and does not guide itself but follows a defined path???

I would instead look for similar-use CAS weapons, not operational-level cruise missiles…
the JSOW-C is basically a SPICE, which would be neat for ground I guess? (I only play EC)
but the other three “alternatives” are cruise missiles, not CAS weapons

so gaijin just used janes as their source for the WS-10B mass LMAOO and they deny reports utilizing janes, nice one

The thing is, the way gaijin Models stuff currently the Taurus would be full Fire and Forget with a IR seeker as its using the same idea as the French Hammer which is allready in game ))))

Still sad we don’t have the other variants of the Hammer in game despite them being in the files before :(

All bots that replace the players in naval modes don’t aim and shoot on targets beyond 6km anymore, even with main guns. Looks like devs tried to fix convoy ships Community Bug Reporting System but broke all other bots fire.

They have been sent to “Forwarded as Suggestion” purgatory. Maybe someday an explorer at Gaijin will unearth the bug reports and implement them. (This is a joke btw)
