Why did the AGM-65 get a nerf

The AGM already sucked, and with this new update, I just noticed you are no longer able to launch it if your jet is not looking directly at he target, more specifically, if you are climbing even at like 15 degrees, you won’t be able to launch it.
Like why? The range sucks, the Gs it can pull suck, the damage sucks, and now even launch it sucks.

I haven’t had much issues launching it but I need to play it more to get a more definitive answer.

But yeah, Mavericks are one of the worst top tier AGM in the game.

Its not really a top tier AGM, it just sticks around longer than it should

Everything that isn’t France getting Nerf X)

I beg your fine pardon ever looked into that russian ? Or u want that amx at 12.0 or Leclerc with no armour

we are at Aircraft section im not talking about tanks lol

I guess every jet with M61 is kinda nerfed in terms of flight performance

So they did a nerf that primarily targets American aircraft?

Yes, from what I’ve heard they calculated the drag and weight of guns(M61, .50Cal etc) though most aircrafts carry them internally while these are already included in FM calculation, thus sabotaging the flight performance of some aircrafts with no change to FM data.

I wonder if it’s been checked on the F-104, F-4E, F-105, F-106, A-7, and F-111 yet

it’s checked on F-104 tho

Is this only on the M61 and .50’s or does stuff like GSh-23 and 30 have this nerf too

afaik .50 and M61 are the ones getting affected most, some other guns are not affected at all

So it conveniently affects 2 guns that are extremely common on American aircraft. And there doesn’t seem to be much effect on Russian or European ones. Interesting

So this explains the top speed nerf that I’ve noticed on all F-16s

gaijin we need cbu105 and gbu53

That’s a thrust curve change.

Did the F-16A had a thrust curve change too? Because even the F-16A got nerfed
