disagree
i don’t think the idea that op systems should exist based on the idea that you pay for them with sp
you can pay for a vehicle that kills, however it shouldn’t be op
spawnpoints should be used for balancing non op systems
so just exclude the majority of air to ground weapons?
About the Russians. I understand what you’re saying but the thing is that the USSR is much more capable of these 3 things than any other nation.
Then remove all FnF AGMs from the game. It is unfair that some get them and others don’t. MMW would be barely more powerful than IR+IOG anyway, the only thing that needs mitigation is the fact that the typhoon could carry 18 of them when the average is 6.
Though in the Apaches case, you already have helis with 16x FnF AGMs
they aren’t a huge problem the way hellfire 114L’s would be. weapon systems are way more complex on their capabilities rather than “has fire and forget” or not
I’ve already told about them in my earlier replies incase you have forgotten
There are also other logical reasons however they would go too far into other vehicles where it isn’t the scope of this post
add them without LOAL then
France has 6 MBTs and 2 CAS platforms of slightly superior air to ground capability to that of the Soviets.
USA has 7? Free MBTs, and 1 CAS platform arguably better than the other CAS platforms due to 20 SPAA countermeasures known as glide bombs.
As for excluding radar air to ground weapons, the only way I can see them ever coming to the game is IF teamkilling is disabled for realistic and simulator ground battles.

They haven’t done that with any A2A weapon for ARB/ASB, and TKs are constant
They haven’t since the teamkilling epidemic a over half a decade ago.
I just don’t see any situation where radar guidance is allowed without changing how allies are impacted by it.
No teamkilling, allies are given a clear warning that an allied missile is targeting them on the HUD, etc.
There’s no good way to allow radar missiles without fixing that issue.
Cause while a FAB-5000 can do some teamkilling, the fact that both the host radar and the missile radar sees all tanks as equal will remain.
And yes, you did mention missiles can distinguish radar signatures as a claim, but that doesn’t help when it’s Sweden vs Germany.
In this instance, Id just allow for some creative license being a video game rather than real-life and just give the missiles IFF. Might be marginally ahistorical, but wouldnt be the first time. Just look at AJ168s
we would still have a balance problem without the chances im suggesting
Whilst I agree, their full LOAL modes shouldnt be modeled, or at least heavily restricted, there must come a breaking point where they cant be continued to be denied.
(brimstones have the ideal mode for the game anyway being mode 2)
its frustrating as hell having no FnF weapons on the Typhoon for example, whilst Su-30s, Rafales and F-15s are lobbing missiles from well outside the range of any SPAA
what do you see as a major problem with loal?
That something like a Tornado Gr4 can buzz in below tree top level and do this
youd be able to do this with lobl too against moving targets or targets within 2.5km
and if loal was taken away you couldn’t engage stationary targets farther than 2.5km at all
however if they’re forced to use the camera to transmit the guidance data to the missile they wouldn’t be able to shoot 16 missiles in 2 seconds which id support
As far as I am aware. Brimstones would not be limited to such short distances. Their onboard guidance would get them pretty close without issue.
yes sure but wasn’t the topic about the 114L
I agree brimstone mmw also shouldn’t be such a spam
The core problem is the same for both. MMW. Whatever solution is done for JAGM / AGM-114Ls for the Apache would apply to Brimstones too.
in a generalized sense however the restriction would have a real life alternative for apache which would also easily allow fine tuning balance and exposure times against hostiles in apache and while the brimstones should in practice be restricted in the same sense of not being able to spam missiles against radar targets, not sure what their alternative would be
Are nukes not OP?
special use case such as nuke is fine
i was talking about typical vehicles
