Nah defo upgrading from SAL Brimstone 1s to SAL Brimstone 2s (actually, that would probably be a good a change)
Thats actually not a bad point. Why did they go with Brimstone 1s knowing it would be limited to purely SAL and thus rather limited in effectiveness. The Upgraded motor would be a big boost
Unfortunately, Brimstone2 in the game is still of poor quality, and it still takes nearly 60 seconds to fly 15Km.
Shouldnt do.
Brimstone 1 has a range of about 20km
Brimstone 2 has a range of about 40km
At a range of 15 or so km, it should, in theory take about half the time to impact (if my mental physics is correct)
It would overall about half the loiter time for the Tornado. Also, looks like its not off the table ,just hasnt be suggested yet according to Smin
Considering that the working time of the missile guide head is 60 seconds, I don’t think it has reached the claimed distance of 20Km.
(Of course, this refers to the game)
Gunjob is working on that already. iirc. the argument is that hte only upgrade from the Brimstone 1 to Brimsatone 2 was the motor. If the Brimstone 2 has a reported range of up to 40km. Then the Brimstone 1s should have no issue hitting a target at 20km and the 60s guidance time is likely wrong.
But even still. Tpod limitaitons mean a max range of usually about 20km anyway.
Now the problem is that Brimstone2 in the game is not Brimstone1, because Smin mentioned that Brimstone1 only has millimetre-wave radar guidance mode, so it cannot only keep the SAL mode to add it to the game.
There is
Brimstone 1 (mmV only)
Brismtone 1 Dual mode (SAL + mmV)
Brimstone 2 (SAL + mmV)
Sea Spear (SAL, mmV + INS)
I think there was a breakdown in communications and Brimstone 2s with SAL should be fine
You’ve got Brimstone> Brimstone Dual mode> Brimstone II
Hope the LJDAM will work similarily well
I can’t believe i forgot that lol, I’ve posted here before regarding RP-3 types
(NOT CURRENT DEV)
Is there a reason the Challenger 2 had a dozer introduced over a year ago and then it just disappeared never to be seen again?
Thry just said nuh uh I guess
hopefully they say uh huh sooner rather than later
I know its benefit is minimal. But could the Harrier Gr1 get a Phimat?
Not to my knowledge in all my digging the only vaguely CM related pods I found were for Lepus illumination flares
Only GR3 to my knowledge.
Phimat was introduced by the French during 1978. Not sure exactly when we got it, but probably no earlier than 1979.
I think all but a handful of GR.1s had been converted to GR.3 by 1977 and those that remained weren’t in front-line service - instead being used for things like development of Sea Harrier
where did the gr3 mount them?
Under the fuselage.
