The USA does not have any IR FnF missiles that match the KH38. Even the SLAM ER in the game files is subsonic. NATO rely on radar FnF missiles which Gaijin said is unfair and use laser guided munitions for accuracy.
agm154c is anti ship weapon like penguin it wont lock tanks in game
Well, they have the GBU-53 IIR guided version. And of course their claim that MMW will be too OP is baseless. They add DoA stuff like the GNSS JSOW but refuse to add the AGM-187 SAL, which would operate in-game pretty much the same as the Brimstone.
Tbf there is no counter to radar FnF missiles, only special packages for MBT like Barracuda or ROSY if Gaijin actually modeled it correctly. However, Russia does not have any counter to radar FnF missiles, only their APS which is why I’m assuming they say its too op.
I think we could get agm179 on the f18e to but don’t trust me i have not looked it up, however i know we can get agm179 on the f35 when it comes out.
And as u said i also wonder why we haven’t gotten JAGM-F it’s like an American brimstone
Tri seeker, but i think Gaijin could add it having only IR available? Idk it wouldn’t be historical though. They would probably just make it single guided by laser just like brimstone
Agm-179MR is has a ingame laser and ir variant which is not historical at all so in normal gaijin fashion this would actually make perfectly normal sense
The real questions should be, what is the stealth capability going to be like? And is that MACH limiter historical?
AGM-187A is the Fixed wing variant of the JAGM, modifed, it does not feature a tri-seeker, only SAL or MMW
JAGM-F - Joint Air-to-Ground MissileFighter/Fixed Wing/Fast Mover
Oh okay yeah i just accepted it had ir when i read what CollectorOfSins wrote
obviously, if this was a strong option we would already have MMW in game.
They can be fired from IN/GPS first and then have their seekers turn on at 2-3 km. Idk if Gaijin will implement LOAL though. But still even if you need to expose yourself to datalink it in, defeating MMW is hard as systems like ROSY are just to delay the lock, not prevent the lock.
Some countries still don’t have any counter to MMW. Russia for example has no ROSY or Barracuda. Even their APS on T14 seems to be mainly for horizontal threats and not top down. I see no way for MMW to be added to the game until all nations have a counter to MMW like we all have smoke for IR.
what? You are saying that radar waves can go through a building?
Not sure, but doubt that, all you would have to do to defeat the missile is drive away far enough. Unless the MMW would work in TOO mode, which i doubt.
They can’t model the correct top-down attack of the Hellfire for years now, doubt they have enough wits to do it for the AGM-187
AGM-114 Trajectory Issues
What? no I’m agreeing with you that yes hard cover will defeat MMW. but that its not a good option enough.
Our maps are way too small. And you would be hurting your team running away and not playing the objective.
Yeah I was just assuming they would by then. SPIKEs and Hellfires have been bugged for years, they could if they want to as we saw with LMUR, but I guess some nations need handholding
This JSOW totally useless, HE warhead with only GPS guidance. At least make it could be drop in 1.2mach, by the way AGM-130 KD-88 and Kh-59M, why they couldn’t drop in low supersonic
USA top tier needs GBU-53B, preferably without a 1Mach release speed limit
We have LJDAM-ER? Or do u mean the quicksink JDAM with ir seeker? Anyhow i think the best option would be gbu53 any day of the week
My fault, I got the GBU-31 and GBU-54 mixed up
Knowing Gaijin they’d just put a ~13km vehicle track range on it and call it a day.
