With Gripen and Eurofighter now having access to SPICE 250 in War Thunder, the US tree lacks a comparable modern precision glide weapon. A reasonable counterpart would be the GBU‑53/B StormBreaker, which fills a very similar tactical role.
GBU‑53/B StormBreaker:
Weight
~204 lb (≈ 93 kg)
Dimensions
Compact form factor with folding wings, allowing high loadouts on multirole fighters.
Warhead
~105 lb (≈ 48 kg) multi‑purpose fragmentation / shaped charge.
Guidance
• GPS/INS
• IIR
• MMW
• SAL
Designed to maintain effectiveness in poor weather and against relocating targets.
Effective range
Around 100km ~ 110km for stationary targets and ~ 60km for moving targets
Compatible platforms
• F‑15E
