This thing is really really saddening for me, If you play a Swedish National Deck, Particularly Airborne, it is your only real form of Multirole (Engages Multiple Ground varients) CAS (The Kamikaze Draken not counting due to a lack of ammunition load, Scandi coalition has Super Sabre which is hilarious, but that is a Denmark unit.) and is the only actual "AGM" in the game.
Why is it so Bad?
Problem 1:
It never hits. Based strictly on HE Damage multiplied by quantity (not factoring in anything) it has 50% the firepower of a Nighthawk, Fair enough you get 3 Upvetted in a National deck, but with the average hit rate of it you actually only get 1/4th of the Firepower per Attack Run as the 1st WILL miss, which is vaguely Upsetting. It also lacks a GUN. which could stun the target. Now I never CHECKED if it had one irl(nvm I checked, it could mount a pod with either 7.62mm or 30mm on its 6 [!] hardpoints) but still a sour point for a CAS Plane, as it would be guarenteed range.
Problem 2:
Speed + TOT equals it has a poor range of coverage.
Problem 3: CAS Plane, Needs to get close, NO ECM.
Solutions: Add ToT up to around 120 seconds. Doubling its net of coverage and add 10% ECM, will not do much to save it, but will spare the plane possibly.
Solutions Part 2: Increase Accuracy of the AGM and increase ToT to 105, slightly more practical, and enables it to well, not suck, while still sucking.
Solutions Part 3: Rename to SK-60W, Increase Missile Accuracy by 10%, Increase flight altitude (Trainer Aircraft), ToT 150 (upgraded engine) Intro Date '96 (I saw a '96 unit somewhere so it isn't OOTF, also K1A1), Speed to 900 km/h (could hit 970 km/h above sea level irl) and adding a 30mm Gun pod.
I am aware the K1A1 is an exception and not a standard, but Scandinavia in General lacks a solid long range CAS Plane, And Sweden is lazily sitting around with an abyssmal one that became pretty darn nice within the Wargame timeline.
I accept this is a pipe dream and everyone can debate it.
Side Note Edit: I tried attacking ground with it and the missile went off to the moon, Eugen how even?
