I’d like to express my gratitude for the first time in a while

Will other tech trees receive these weapons as well?
Is this for all?
Or just the US one?
They added SLAM-ER. good. now they just have to add the normal SLAM, Harpoon and stormbreaker to the planes that can get them.

Still no LJDAM for the A-10C?

Report has been accepted from the start of the dev server and is the 1 remaining US aircraft that has them IRL to be missing them.

Harpoon and stuff on older airframes as well would be wonderful. Hoping AShM gets put onto other older aircraft in the future (I’m sure it’s been talked about at least a little internally)
Hoping it gets it
Unfortunately after review of the sources and testing in game it was shown that the accuracy was actually performing better than what the provided sources stated.
The sources provided indicate that 1σ is 0.5 mrad, i.e. at 1000 m, 68% of shells should fall within a circle with a radius of 0.5 m.
The full spread (3σ, 99.7% of shells) should fall within a circle with a radius of 1.5 m.
Ingame, the accuracy was previously overstated because 3σ in the game is 1.3 m.
As such, the accuracy will be reduced by 15% to match the sources.

I think America never used the SLAM-ER on their F15Es. It is a weapon primarily used by the navy with F/A18s.
Some export nations use it though on their modifications of the F15, i.e. Saudi Arabia with their F-15SAs and South Korea with their F-15Ks

Correct it would definitely go on Slam Eagle. (Also can’t wait to do SEAD with a Slam Eagle as well as my 16’s since it can carry HARM)
Excuse me, what the actual hell are you guys doing here?
The report quite literally states that the maximum dispersion would be 1mrad (0.057°) but instead you chose to increase it to 1.66mrad?!
(0.08° → 0.095°)
At the same time, the GA-35 is NOT A OERLIKON CANNON TYPE KDA, nor is it a type KDE which has also received the worse dispersion despite being neither a KDA nor a GA-35 while also having a much lower RoF of 300rpm.
Spoiler: Report
So to summarize;
The source states 0.6mrad maximum and 0.5mrad average during single shots
The source states 1mrad maximum and 0.8mrad average during bursts
The source is for the GA-35, not the Type KDA nor the Type KDE
Yet the maximum dispersion is seen as typical when a average/typical value exists at the same time
Yet the nerf is applied to entirely unrelated cannons featuring completely different designs.
This is actual insanity.

Literally just read two posts above you? Smin addressed it
Even if the source states its a value for 1sigma (which I honestly doubt) then that still does not magically turn the GA-35 into a Oerlikon KDA or KDE
What sources were reviewed to change the turret armor of the M1296 Dragoon from 32mm of Aluminum Alloy 4050A, to 7.31mm of an unnamed RHAHH?
I have already asked 3 times, if you cannot answer, please tell me and point me in the right direction for acquiring an answer. This is a pretty significant change, as the turret can now be penned by 7.62mm machine guns.
@Smin1080p_WT is it possible to know if the Swiss, Finnish and British FA18C Late is also going to receive the SLAM ERs since they are effectively the same aircraft?

The Dev Server will be reopening today:
When: From March 13th (18:00 GMT)
Until: March 16th (07:00 GMT)
For technical reasons, the dev server may close immediately at any time before the indicated time, so please make the most out of the opening window!

Makes sense, will acknowledge I’m wrong then :P Have a good day Smin
Any news on the AIM-120B situation for the Australian F/A-18F? Currently it only has long-range C-5 and D AMRAAMs.
All other aspects of its loadouts are equal to the US F/A-18E. Even extending to the new inclusion of AGM-84H SLAM-ER, that wasn’t selected by Australia IRL (AGM-158 JASSM chosen instead)
NVM! Seems they will be there according to datamines: Major Update "Ninth Wave" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3) - #6430 by joshje100

If someone decides to open dev sever, can they please tell me if all F-18C late got AGM-84 or is it only American F-18C and also if any more changes were made to M1296
