Lucking you splash someone by guessing where they’ll be by the time your missile travels 30km is nothing like your missile locking through smoke after travelling 25km.
None of your following example acknowledge the difference between IR seekers happening to lock a target near enough to your point VS a missile that actively seeks a radar lock in a wide cone 5km from the targeted point.
Even your laser + radar idea would basically mean you don’t have to guess anything, since you can update the location of your target.
If you can’t see how much more powerful that is, there’s really nothing to discuss.
A bias towards making the game playable.
If they’d just have dumped 18 brimstone MMW F&F 60km missiles, the game would be completely ruined.
Then remove KH-38MT then. Its stupidly unfair they can fire off 6x Missiles from triple the range of any non-soviet SPAA and get 6 kills relaibly
Then give the Typhoon the BRIMSTONE 2s IT ACTUALLY USED.
If we are going to be artificially limited to SAL only then give us a decent SAL only weapon. What we have is a missile with 10-15km range at the moment meanwhile the soviets are firing off missile from 40km reliably and yet that is considered balanced.
IDK if Kh-29TE/D or whatever is good enough to keep up with AGM-65D/F or whichever.
I think what’s done is done.
It is unfortuante that nations are limited by their kit. I think this obsession over realism leads to detrimental scenarios. Even their weird SAL limited thing is a product of that.
I don’t know why Gaijin are being slow to act on the platter of bug reports about Brimstone underperforming in a lot of ways.
I think once those things are fixed, we would understand why they were so hesitant in the first place.
Then add Brimstone 2s or 3s then. There is no possible argument for 6x KH-38MTs that never existed to be acceptable and yet the Typhoon denied Brimstone 2s that it did actually use (it never used Brimstone 1s)
Thats the Typhoon. STR, ITR, Top speed, Acceleration, loadout, radar, DASS, CMs, there isnt a single aspect of the Typhoon that isnt underperforming significantly at the moment.
But for the extra range, we need Brimstone 2s, not the 1s we have at the moment.
I was comparing 6x IR+IOG+Huge Warhead with 6x MMW+Tiny warhead
Mode 2 Brimstone 2s would have no greater LOAL ability than KH-38MTs alreayd have now.
The MMW will barely have greater ability to ignore smoke than KH-38MT already have with IOG and its warhead.
So 6x MMW (Mode 2) Brimstone 2s vs 6x KH-38MTs would be equal. In fact, id actually give the advantage to the KH-38MT still because Brimstone 2 would still be forced to engage 1 target at a time and the KH-38Mt can still kill 6 targets within seconds at 30km with absolutely impunity.
I know you are a soviet cope main that thinks KH-38MT is the weakest AGM in the game and needs buffs. But doesnt mean everyone else has to be artificially nerfed through the floor to ensure that KH-38MT remains undefeated.
I cant wait for the soviet mains to be shot down by CAMM-ERs soon. Will be hilarous watching them beg for better AGMs
Let’s just ignore the fact that if launched at 30km, it will travel more than half of the time in point lock mode, meaning you can simply move away on purpose or by accident if in an MBT.
Having LOAL missiles would mean you don’t even have to find your targets, as even that is automated.
Being this delusional is an achievement, even for an UK main with serious case of victim complex paired with perma seething.
I doubt they’ll outrange AGMs with supposedly 40km of efficient range lmao.
Those players actually play the game and don’t throw a hissy fit every time their vehicles aren’t the best at literally everything.
Amount of UK malders on the forum is extraordinarily high considering how (un)popular UK is, I guess coping is more fun than playing the game for a change.
If ur still dying to missile with giant smoke trail and cant smoke in time, then idk what to tell you. Rafale with its Hammers is far more dangerous than any Kh-38 on Su-30 is.
What would you do with another dozen Brimstones the plane can legitimately carry ?
Restricting it to only 6 LOALs would make people mad sooner rather than later as that’s yet another artificial limitation, that would lead to yet another rabbit hole with endless discussion if planes should have 6, 8 or 12 LOALs to be balanced.
Gaijin directly talked about LOAL missiles in the post you linked, so I’m talking about those as well.
Neither do I nor Gaijin think SU-34 is a weaker plane than Gr4, hence one being at 13.0 and another at 12.3.
Artificially nerfing the typhoon to brimstone 1s and sal only is a far far larger nerf than limiting it to 6x FnF Brimstone 2s + 12x SAL Brimstone 2s
If that cannot be done the give it 18x SAL+GPS Spear3s. For there is no argument that exists for justifying sal-brimstones 1s on the typhoon when KH-38MT exists
And that is Gaijin spreading misinformation. They wrote that post as if mode 3 was the only implementation of MMW. Both Brimstone and AGM-114L have LOBL-type modes of operation
And as we have seen with AJ168 or BOL they have no issue artificially nerfing/fundamentally altering something for the sake of game implementation. MMW could be modeled exactly like IR guidance if they wanted
