A year ago, when Brimstones were added to the game, the developers said they were artificially nerfing them and removing the “fire and forget” feature, as it would have harassed tanks. Now the game has new anti-aircraft systems that, with the press of a button, destroy everything in the air. Maybe Brimstones should now receive their full functionality for balance?

To achieve balance, you first need to reduce the quantity and then think about targeting
For some reason they didn’t think about balance when they gave su34 6 kh38 and now mi28 8 lmurs. Besides, 18 brimstones are not much different from 16 jagms.

Just to chip in here they are already nerfed in a way as if you want 4x 9x you need to remove 2 sets of Brimstones so you are stuck with 12 and vice versa for 18x brimstones you need to limit yourself to 2x 9x on the inner pylons(This is more due to them not fitting than balance though)Sidenote, they could just add what JAGMS have feature wise and not do the see through smoke… simple
Also imo they really dont give af about balance at this point… just look at top tier if they cared about balance they wouldnt have done what they have done already…

Depends if you get true mmW Brimstones those would be a step up over our current IR missiles.
“Brimstone should get FNF features”
Yes, this I agree with.
“because there are new powerful SPAA’s”
I disagree with that as a reason. Personally, I’d say the new SPAA’s were a needed addition.
The reason I’d give for brimstone FNF is because of how powerful the KH-38 and LMUR are.

Not to mention being unable to lock on to heli’s now unless point blank range(Probably due o LDIRCM idk??)
Personally, I think the new OP SPAAs are a great example of how the developers implemented their features. Honestly, the addition of vehicles where you can get frags with just one button press is a no-brainer. It requires no skill at all.
I know that most tank-only players think that CAS FNF weapons also require no skill, but flying a plane or helicopter does require skill.
For example, I’ve played the new SPAAs several times and gotten 3 to 7 frags with one hand while scrolling through social media on my phone.
Can people imagine the same thing playing a plane or helicopter?

I mean the 28 you just have to look press and whala as for missiles most miss due to the LDIRCM I think it is they just fly right past as long as your not going fast, where as there is me with my Hellfire’s still on british heliopters waiting 30 seconds nearly for a missile to even tell me its either a “Hit” or “missed” Not to mention not having LDIRCM either

That another issue of the game.
NATO Aircafts/helis with weapon of 70s-80s need to fight with Russian weapon of 00s-10s.
And we are not talking about pre-top tiers jets like f4e, they are absolutely dead.
Sorry just to add cannons with 40mm I think it is that are inacurate af especially for gunning aircraft unless again point blank or lucky hit where as the 28 will smack you right out likely.
No they wouldn’t
In their LOAL state they would, easily.
Yes ?
I dont think the SPAA come into it. brimstone 1 ranges still put tornado and typhoon in threat of pantsir. Its more to just balance nations to equal capability with the russian fake missile
And why would they come with LOAL? When every weapon already in-game that has one doesn’t get it.
Because LOAL and their radar seeker is pretty much the reason that missile exists over other options ?
Except that it’s not.
By that same logic there was no reason to add the TV Martel or LMUR without LOAL. Given that they just straight up should not work as they do currently.
Kh-38MTs, Mavericks, and Hammers are vastly inferior to MMW weapons against existing in-game tanks.
Brimstones should get them if their minimum BR is 1.3 higher than the highest tank BR.
That way if people want to face Brimstones, they can put in 12.3s and higher.
If they don’t want to, then they keep their lineup 12.0 or less.
Also we still need LOAL to be added to the game.
Wrong
