Why don’t we have the JAGM-F in game when missles like the Kh-38mt and AASM Hamers exist?
The JAGM-F:
It’s a AGM that uses a Multi-Mode SAL/MMW Seeker. Its range is up to 8-24km based on the version. It’s too speed isn’t know but we know it will be a lot faster than the hellfire.
Lmk your thoughts abt this being added possibly
Because they wont model MMW
Speed is known I think, it’s just the same as the Hellfire. The JAGM uses the exact same rocket boosters as the hellfire, just with a new seekerhead assembly. JAGM-F has slightly different wings, but I doubt it will change dynamics drastically, but given you can launch them from much higher starting speeds, mach 1+ flights are expected for shorter ranges. Just basically like the Brimstone if anything.
My main issue with JAGM-F is, I don’t think it’s actually in use…? I would like to be proven wrong, but I can’t find any pictures of any aircraft mounting JAGM (not -F) even though it may exist. Maybe you have some? The closest thing I could find is an F/A-18E carrying completely inert JAGM-Fs. I only know that JAGM itself has been in use with helicopters. I don’t really want to advocate for weaponary that isn’t actually in use or no proof of it, but then agaijn, Gaijin may think otherwise given a certain other missile in-game that I will not name here.
Right, the brochure itself had an example, but same problem. Only blue rings = completely inert. So probably not even test fired then.
Higher quality version:
They could just model it with SALH only, just like Brimstone in that case. Large number count and IOG + SALH is very nice for anti SPAA work.
You really dont want that lmao.
It’s really not that bad considering the sheer number you can get. Not nearly as strong as straight up fire and forget no, but spamming munitions and pop-up tactics are about the only sure way to kill Pantsirs. Would definitely however like to see the IOG be improved to no drift if possible, but eh.
Against anti tank duties, yes it’s very slow. But I mainly play CAS to waste my time trying to kill SPAA instead, which makes this weapon type quite interesting. I know, pretty useless to the team, but it’s fun.
It sucks, Youd never use them over the AGM-65/GBU-39 combo you’ve already got.
Trust me. Id kill for that combo on the Typhoon
They might as well add IIR+GPS+Laser GBU-53
Given how the models are already in the game, we might see them appear quite soon. I mainly want more GNSS + SALH weapons, JAGM-F isn’t quite it yea (neither is Brimstone), but they can be used in a similar fashion. Idk if we will actually see the IIR modelled on the GBU-53, would be too insane with the count you get.
This is mostly just me being frustated with Gaijin refusing to add LJDAMs to more US planes though. I don’t know why the hell it is made so artifically rare.
GBU-39B/B
There is a bug report in for Brimstone to massively reduce its IOG drift. Hopefully that will mean it will become a Psuedo GPS guided weapon but at the moment, there is a push to try and get GPS or GPS+SAL Spear-3s on the Typhoon.
But yeah, they really need step up and fix CAS
Right, that exists too. Would like to see more pictures of it IRL though, I have I think only seen one, somewhere posted in this forum (I will need to find it again…). But it seems otherwise very rare, so it might not be enough evidence to add (to multiple planes at least). GBU-53s on the other hand seem more common instead, so that’s a lot easier to prove.
its literally just a GBU-39 with a laser seeker off an LJDAM. it can go wherever a regular GBU-39 can
Nato take an L, Opfor take the W - Probably the thought rn
I know, but Gaijin does not operate on such logic (they rather operate on whatever the hell they want). So hence, why the rarity of proof may hold it back from being added at all. At least I haven’t myself had any luck finding imagery of it, but I know there’s at least one on this forum, so I’m looking for it again rn.
They can always add JAGM-MR, which has IR within its tri-mode seeker. 20-12163_TSM_AGMS_JAGM-MR_Product Card.pdf
thats for slow stuff like helis and ground vehicles, not fast fixed wing. F in JAGM-F is for Fixed Wing/Fast
It still would make US helis worth grinding if they added them and it also states “Compatible with all JAGM users platforms,” so it may be hypothetically possible to put on fixed wing.
if they could it wouldnt work well at all
Why not?
because JAGM-F has differnt aerodynamic design to work better from a fast moving aircraft, while JAGM-MR/JAGM is meant to fire from slow moving stuff like helicopters and ground launchers
