Code word for the rocket-propelled laser-guided bomb chasing plane should be "Fox 4". It is a semi-joke in USAF when you don't know what did you or enemy launched. For example, R-27P which is anti-radiation air-to-air missile totally fit Fox 4 code word.

Nope fox 4 is your plane.

First thing I may do I take the skipper into assault arcade and see what that bomb will do to a formation of strike aircraft

I'm guessing some A6 Air support Vids coming in the near future

Apparently the TRAM also got an improved RWR, the ALR-67, which is very good. I thought this upgrade only came with the SWIP, but I guess this should help those premium players to not insta die to SAM. Anyways, man the skippers are cool. Now that the CCIP works at all ranges for it (and a for a number of other guided rockets, like apkws, cirit and the Kh-25ML I think?) I can finally see its use over the regular GBUs, before it was rather pointless as it required a bit too much guessing work for any usable range. I really want a tech tree SWIP.... This is also technically the first fixed wing SALH missile for the US, though it does not really match up with the competition, it's still very nice.

This means that air-ground missiles will be ballistically computed akin to unguided rockets? And rocket guided bombs will use ballistic computers for both rockets and bombs?

Excellent information as always Hunter! Edit: do you see yourself taking these out often or sticking to gbus? I can see them being useful in matches against soviets with the strelas/ 2S6s being omnipresent, but most of the time I get plenty of kills staying just at the border of where contrails appear to limit how visible I am. These missiles provide one heck of a contrail which would give enemy SPAA, and radarless jets for that matter, a brief window to see exactly where you are and try to counter you. To me, that seems very risky, especially at the cost of additional hits with extra gbus.

@Hunter_i86

2 ай бұрын

I will definitely try them in the actual battles and see how things will be. Release earlier than GBUs and supported by motor are nice advantages, but also as you said they are easy to spot because of the contrail, and another thing which I'm not sure of yet is Skipper is counted as "missile" in the game, that means higher spawn points in Ground RB and also it can be shot down by SPAA with "SACLOS" missiles? like 2s6 and Roland. We shall wait for the live server and try it in Ground RB then decide. Thanks a lot :)

Hope you're doing good Hunter!

I love this plane, mainly because of the sentiment of the old Amiga game "Flight of the Intruder". But I still wonder why Gaijin doesn't add radar to it for ground targets.

Seems like it switches from IOG to Laser guidance rather late only 50m from target before it starts correcting

4:18 while this seems like a cool concept for ordinance I need to see how effective this is on a moving target, you'll see here it jumps to the target last second which isn't good if the tank has moved behind cover or passed another tank by that time since it could miss

@Hunter_i86

2 ай бұрын

That is right, it is not a perfect weapon and it will not do everything for you. You need to pick the right target and also to aim lead a little bit if the target was moving fast. This applies on laser GBUs as well, after detecting range of all GBUs to the laser point nerfed from 6km to 3km a while ago the pilot should be more precise with his strikes.

@Wotplaya4

2 ай бұрын

Should be as effective as any other GBU, same laser detection range and all. So in practice usually works completely fine, just as long as the target hasn't moved like 100m+ (probably bit more) away from his intitial position or something. I'm also more of the opinion that as CAS you should focus SPAA anyway, and they don't move very often or can be splashed behind cover, not that problematic in that regard. Leave the (moving) tanks alone, unless there's really nothing else to do or if it's really important for your team.

Like often I shoot a mav or something, fly away, and when observing the maverick, the targets disappears. Seems to happen around 12km+, not too bad honestly. Might also just have to do with the ground quality dropping, so targets end up under the ground and become invisible that way. I wonder if Gaijin will ever be able to like make the ground render fully only in the affected area of your targeting sight. Would also make foliage more effective against targeting pods too.
