Im just hoping every nation actually gets CBUs and they dont do what they did with Napalm, and add it only to a few nations, then add it to other aircraft as and when they feel like it (still outstanding bug reports for Napalm for the Buc and Sea vixen for example)
they should not have. kh-29 already was and is way too powerful. mainly the time to target and the warhead that guarantees a kill 99% of the time. brimstones are slow and have a mediocre HEAT warhead.

To be clear SAL is a MITL guidance method and autonomous mmW is explicitly not MITL.
Thank you for pointing it out the error has been fixed, nonetheless quite unfair how they added the upgraded version or the side-graded munition instead of the proper munition, just me?
I mean speaking from a player perspective, I always want more weapons, new guidance methods and unique methods of weapons employment. If it would be balanced or not really comes down to adding it and seeing at this point. Hoping Nuclear Thunder provides that opportunity.

Ok so side note, WHY IS THE UK ONLY GETTING A SINGLE PREMIUM AND EVERYONE ELSE GET SOMETHING COOL
Israel: F15IA
America: F15EX
Russia: cool looking mig 19 thingy (su15)
Japan: BMP-3
Germany: Leopard with APS, U-boat
cmon gaijin I’ve been waiting for an update and you give us this… cmon
I mean Qatar has F-15EX’s and their pilots get trained at RAF Leeming and their squadron 11 is based at RAF Leeming…

Maybe the brimstone 2 could be seen as a nuclear escalation only weapon much like the cluster bombs being added. The brimstone itself was introduced as a replacement to cluster bombs previously in service with the RAF to back it up.

Even the earliest FnF Brimstones variants would suffice at top tier. Using subsonic weapons like SPICE in the Eurofighter is such a pain, specially against SM-SVs players who actually know what they’re doing.
None of the concerns they had all those years ago really hold up today, considering every nation today has a capable SAM system.
Brimstones are painfully slow, bleed a lot speed and don’t really loft at all, even only having 6 of them in a FnF configuration would make flying the Eurofighter and specially the Tornado SLE/GR.4 less of a struggle.
My only concern is how the autonomous guidance could be coded in, Morvan had a great idea of a combined SAL+ mmW terminal guidance mode, were the Brimstone is first guided via laser and then locks onto the lased target via mmW after it enters its lock range, that would honestly be the best compromise for balance.
Gaijin has less of a excuse now that they’re experimenting with load out adjusted BRs, nothing stops them from making a “hell mode” BR like 18.0 lol.

would be nice but need fnf spear3 when that comes for ne mode
GMTI or A-G radar mode?
I think you should take it on the chin until Gaijin finally decides to bring in mmW guidance in years time.
There is literally not a single excuse left as to why they couldn’t add full Brimstones now

Yep.
Very much long overdue.
SAL-Only Brimstone 2s or GNSS+SAL Spear-3s should have been here a while ago, but yeah. MMW could be added this major update and it wouldnt be that big of a deal in terms of balance
