As of 2022 no fixed wing tests were conducted.

Oddly enough apparently separation testing was done for it back in 2010. (Probably inside a wind tunnel)
I found this on wiki so not 100% reliable but it’s something: The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is designed to replace existing missiles like the Hellfire and Maverick.JAGM does not have a single, specified top speed, but it incorporates capabilities from its predecessors, including the Hellfire’s Mach 1.3 (995 mph; 1,601 km/h) speed.
At this point anything is better than agm-65s so I wouldn’t mind Mach 1.3
Yes if its fnf which JAGM-MR is and has IR seeker
Depends if they will be fire and forget or not. Like Brimstones, Gaijin might only add them with SALH guidance.
Also I guess to show the expected speed of the JAGM-F (by using Brimstone) vs AGM-65D, I did a couple of test fires to see, because I didn’t think it would be that much better anyway:
Tests were all done at roughly Mach 1-1.1 speed range at 1, 3 and 5km altitude.
Brimstone:
1km: 12.1km in 40.1s = 302 m/s average, topspeed ~M1.8
3km: 14.6km in 47.1s = 310 m/s average, topspeed ~M1.9
5km: 12.9km in 34.1s = 378 m/s average, topspeed ~M2.1
AGM-65D Maverick:
1km: 11.6km in 48.1s = 241 m/s average, topspeed ~M1.3 (aimed for ~12km range, but couldn’t reach)
3km: 14.8km in 58.2s = 254 m/s average, topspeed ~M1.4
5km: 12.6km in 37.8s = 333 m/s average, topspeed ~M1.5
So while JAGM-F would probably be a decent bit faster, if it was implemented like Brimstone (likely anyway), all this time is spent lasing (well the last 10s at least). And from high altitude launches, Maverick speed isn’t much worse.
Well right now the Maverick are underperforming in flight preformance.
JAGM-F achieve a max speed of approximately mach 1.5, the specific burn time are not disclosed but generally would be around 3-5 seconds. It has a range of approximately 28km, lock range is unknown. It has NIR (Near-Infrared) and SAL as well as MWR radar
The warhead is a tandem charge shape, it has a TNT equivalent is around 9.9-10.3kg, which mean that it is a way better Hellfire
The unknown though is how much of that comes from just being dropped from high and fast compared to the Hellfire being mostly a static launch from relatively low down.
Mach 1.5 max speed is static speed, it likely has a higher or similar burn time than hellfire given the size
Is the JAGM-F using the JAGM-MR motor?
i dont think so
Yet it was canceled but we have a non existent kh-38mt in game
I think the starting point should be AGM-84E for the US.
Still no where near as good as KH-38MT, but its a good choice over the AGM-65.
After that, add better methods of Quantity mtiigation and then add GPS+SAL GBU-53 and Spear-3s.
Not when there is an IR mode for these
Then it needs even heavier quantity mitigation then. So you are pretty hard limited to 4-8
Why cant there just be 28 of them, they are extremely slow and most will end up shot down anyways
Because it has 28 fire and forget weapons.
If people were freaking out about the Tornado GR4 having 9x MMW Brimstone 1s, what do you think people will say to an F-15E firing 28x FnF weapons?
I agree somehow there needs to be a equivalent to kh-38mt
Or jsut get rid of the KH-38MT as it never existed IRL and then there is nothing to balance.
