With all nations now recieving top tier SAMs and notable buffs being applied to the KH-38MT. It is time for the Tornado Gr4 and all 3 Typhoons to get a weapon system better than the Hellfire missiles (SAL Brimstone 1s) they currently have. It is time they get an actually viable A2G weapon for top tier GRB because at the moment 15km SAL weapons vs 40+ km SAMs just doesnt work.
Ideally we would finally get MMW to give true FnF capability to the Brimstone 1s, but as that seems unlikely anytime soon despite it probably being weaker than the IR guided AGMs such as the KH-38MT, the next best solution is the Brimstone 2. This AGM increases the range of the Brimstone 1 by 200%, not only giving it much greater reach, but cutting down on the loiter time required to be spent guiding an AGM onto the target with the laser.
Additionally, the Brimstone 1s are so weak, they are not worth ever taking into gamemodes such as ARB or ASB and Brimstone 2s might actualy be worthwhile.
It is time for the Tornado GR4 and Typhoons to recieve parity with most CAS aircraft already in game and at their respective BRs.
Unless we can ripple off the payload (or at least get them fnf) on a convoy I can’t see any reason realistically to bring brimstones over PGMs in these modes. Or paveways. Even FnF it would still be a toss up.
FnF Brimstones are too advanced for the game, but KH38MTs (existence yet to be proven outside of a brochure which gaijin themselves are inconsistently saying isn’t a good source) are not too advanced for the game :DDDDD
thats brimstone 3, where we got data about the specific IOG data as well,
But then remember GNSS got the potential failure radius now, with the payload of the brimstone it would mean, it does ducking nothing, gnss is not pinpoint accurate anymore
