This is how Kh-38MT should work btw. Pilots can’t see anything; they just fire and hope it targets the thing they hoped to hit. Gaijin completely made this super weapon up. So an IR AGM-154 should not be impossible to add at this point.

It can lock tanks but from ~1.5km, not ~13km like in the game.
AASM too
As far as I know I’m not even sure about that? The seeker uses photo-matching once it reaches it’s 1.5km terminal range and turns on the IR seeker, since they’re obviously intended for static targets…
Call it a hunch but I’d be skeptical if it even could track moving targets then, if at all since that’s what SBU-54 is advertised for.
According to Gunjob, Hammer can definitely track a tank sized target. Tracking moving targets might be a stretch though, especially against faster moving ones.
I see I see, interesting.
so i guess AGM-84H/K is the only hope, since its IR seeker is based on the late Maverick ones. at least there is now precedent with KD-88 and other jet powered missiles.
still, AGM-154C may have a chance of tracking tank size targets but we need more evidence

I mean for the 154C part we already know it and C-1 can only track stationary land targets.
Not sure about SLAM/SLAMER though, but since they’re MITL I’d say it’s at least unlikely for SLAM to be capable of it.
it says it has moving target capability, and since its a land attack missile that means its very likely talking about land targets.
the base AGM-84E uses a modified AGM-65F seeker which has moving target capability, and the H/K are straight upgrades over the E

Nope, baseline capability for the AGM-154 is that moving target capability is provided by the datalink.

“baseline capability” doesn’t imply service models ever received such things, this document predates JSOW-A/A1 and B, all of which are only capable of striking static targets no?
How would the datalink even be updated?
Interesting…
It does not predate JSOW-A
Beautiful, now we need to pass this one, we’ve been waiting so long and its more of an urgent issue

It predates the production model, but not the first successful launch as far as i can tell.
Closed as not a bug. Which way F-16 user? No countermeasures, or no missiles?
Absolute mental gymnastics to deny this bug report. Oh F16 hasn’t been seen doing this but typhoons got double rack.

No countermeasure. 2 ARH missile would be terrible for 14.3. Having MAW pylon in ground won’t help either considering we won’t be able to take AGM-65
