The F/A-18E is actually equipped with GBU53, but it was rejected by the administrator

Really do not understand gaijin’s fascination with the US only having the AGM-65 for sooooooo long as a viable AGM, yeah the 130 exists, but its really only usable against bases due to it’s speed.

The KH-38 obliterated the balance longs ago and even today nobody has a comparable weapon beyond those who got export KH-38s.

Like, the 53 won’t even change anything, they have smaller warheads than the AGM-65 but just have more range, thats it. I’d bet money that they will have trouble killing things if they arrive, meanwhile the KH-38 has been busy being a cruise missile launchable from the airfield that will kill anything it lands even remotely close to 100% of the time.

A10… My beloved

I have a report for this open in the Community Bug Reporting System. Comment with any additional sources, anybody.

Comparing to AGM65s, the GBU53 features a much bigger amount and lower spawn cost so it’s ok if it’s going to be a HEAT warhead.

why all radars of american top tier jets have 74km/h range and no more

If you think something is wrongly modeled then make a bug report with apropriate sources. You can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

Please note the kind of sources they require for issues of this kind:

Why does the Su-27SM also have dual R-77 racks? This has never been shown in photos or technical manuals.

L3Harris’s BRU-55/A pylon is used to carry various smart explosives. The company’s website states that this pylon can be compatible with the 1760 interface without requiring modifications to the aircraft.

I made another bug report but probably they will not even answer.

I got the [AD1041216] that specifies it will be implemented on the F18E/F and a picture of the F18E super hornet carrying the GBU53 during a operation.
