Why isn’t the JAGM-F in war thunder

i dont think so

I guess if the JAGM isn’t good enough the could always add this: AGM-183 ARRW - Wikipedia

50

Yet it was canceled but we have a non existent kh-38mt in game

51

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

53

Then it needs even heavier quantity mitigation then. So you are pretty hard limited to 4-8

54

Why cant there just be 28 of them, they are extremely slow and most will end up shot down anyways

55

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

57

Or jsut get rid of the KH-38MT as it never existed IRL and then there is nothing to balance.

58

game has changed since then

59

In what way?

60

If they do but it’s gaijin

61

Yeah…

62

Kh-38 on more capable platforms, AASM, 18x brimstone on arguably best airframe in game

63

Is the agm-84e fnf?

64

2 wrongs dont make a right

Still only 6

18x SAL only Brimstone 1s on a platform that should have 18x MMW Brimstone 2, 3s or Spear-3s.

If the F-15E gets 28x IR Guided GBU–53 then the Typhoon gets 18x MMW Spear-3s.

65

then F-15E would get MMW GBU-53 since its a multi-mode weapon, fine by me

There is currently not a great indication that the JAGM-F has a stronger engine or something. JAGM uses the AGM-114R engine, and likely JAGM-F also does to increase commonality (as is mentioned to be important in the brochure).

Range seems to be similar to the Brimstone when fired from fixed wing aircraft, and since we know Brimstone’s engines aren’t super amazing, it means that launch speed alone is able to carry them that far. Hence a simple Hellfire engine would be able to do it given a high launch speed (and altitude probably too).

I believe only JAGM-MR has the tri-mode seeker. JAGM and JAGM-F are dual mode SALH +MMW.

In-game AGM-114K is basically almost exactly this already though, so it would just be the same.

They could give the agm-84e supersonic capabilities to be on par with kh-38
