Its very easy to understand why it schould not be as a Techtree viacle: 1) The Guided Ammo. To put this plane at a high br ist good becose coldwar & modern spaa wold see this as a free kill, also for early IR missels. Its could be a sqadran viacle, but i think as a battlpass plane it would be not that great, as it would represntate the japanse Ki 48-II otsu, so thats why a sqaudran, NOT A PREMNIUM!!!

+1, the 4 naval players will love this !
Joke apart, in Ground RB it would be fun, but i dont think that the temperature of all vehicles is historically accurate (I don’t want the bomb to lock on to a PZ III as easily as it does to a Tiger 2)

? No need to be close to the cold war era, just put it in lower BR

Well, it was too weak to deal mass damage to industrial sites or bases (hence it is similar to a KAB-500/FAB-500), and too unprecise to be dropped on small tanks. Naval targets would be the best in this instance.


“When dropping the SB-1M, aiming does not require precise alignment of the target with the sight’s crosshairs (deviations of +/- 2° are permissible), taking into account ballistic data, wind, and altitude, and can be accomplished using a simple sight.”

“The use of the munition was possible in a narrow range of weather conditions and was highly dependent on cloud cover, lighting, and distance from the shore. The aerial bomb allowed an attack on a ship only during the day in the direction of the sun within +/- 90°. At the same time, depending on the illumination, the SB-1M bomb could detect and hit a battleship-type target at a distance of 6,500…12,000 m, and a cruiser at a distance of 4,000…8,000 m. At the same time, the warhead size of only 100 kg was recorded as insufficient for effective target destruction, although it corresponded to the original technical specifications.”

Yeah it should be a Tech tree vehicle, NOT a premium

Would it lock on a Maus or Elefant?

Premium is not free. Tech tree and squadron is.

FW-190 F-8 recieves the X-4, and I know MCLOS and IR is very different, but this is not only an early IR seeker but it will 100% see props, and props have a heat signature of a fart.
I can’t imagine how hard it will be to lock onto a tank
