Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) Thread - WIC: Modern Warfare Mod for World in Conflict

The replacement of the the TOW, Hellfire and Maverick Maverick missiles. Much longer range, integrated 3 types of guidance (infrared, laser and radar), carried by all kinds of air vehicles from Predator UAV to blackhawks and F-18E/F. Currently in advanced testing phase this missile will be the next big thing for the US Army an NAVY.

Here a picture of the missile mounted on the Super Hornet:

Don't think that even enters production until 2016 and that is if it doesn't get canceled which the new administration just might do, but it's up to them I was just throwing in my two cents, I've seen this before cool weapon but I'd like to know more about it's avalibable attacks.

For the last time, this is MODERN warfare mod not FUTURE warfare. Currently used weapons only. Thank you.

2016? 6 years of testing? I doubt it. Also no signs of program cancellation plans. Currently it looks pretty promising.

Got that, but that missile is just several years from production. It`s not some 6th gen fighter plane or plasma weapons. Besides it`s pretty real not in a drawing board phase. Here a ground test fire: Youtube.com
BTW why do you say "for the last time..." all my suggestions have been of modern technology?!

Yes they exist but they aren't in service and they might be accepted into service they might not so they are not modern, they are future weapons, tommorow is the future so if a round was introduced tommorow it would be a future weapon and be modern tommorow not today.

It would be a cool missile but what would the advantage to gameplay be? Also no way in hell that thing will phase out the hellfire in less than 6 years and defenseindustrydaily.com said it begins production in 2016, if you have better source that says other wise, that would be helpful.

JAGM has a funny story in our mod.

There were suggestions from a number of pro-Russian faction fans to put Hermes missile on Mi-28N because their current Ataka-V missile makes them less effective than the Apache.

We were reviewing their request to put Hermes (which btw is still not operational in service use just like JAGM), and our own game design team had pushed back that request, with the reasoning of: "If we are giving Hermes to Mi-28, we will introduce tri-seeker JAGM into game for Apache to counter-balance the Russians."

Then, fast forward to today, and we decided it is easier to just leave them unchanged as is, instead of arguing whose faction is better. Neither missiles are in operational service today, we do not have enough publicly available data about how these missiles would perform in real-life other than pure speculations. Where as, there is plenty of public information available from professional sources regarding Spiral/Ataka and Hellfire missiles.

I agree that`s a good reason not to include them... yet.
