New report is live.
Implementing “Sidewinder Expanded Acquisition Mode” (SEAM)
It may impact the UK F-4’s and Harrier’s, if I can find more info which should improve SRM Acquisition speeds, I’ll follow it with it’s counterpart for the increased Field of Regard while Slaved shortly.
@SwingfireOP I’ll reply here as Brimstone isn’t the topic of the KH-38MT thread.
But it can ID specific types of vehicle, we’ve already covered this extensively.
Awesome! I didn’t known it could tell different tanks apart. That’s pretty freakin amazing.
Would still be OP as hell though. Deleting every t-72 in one pass would be a touch game breaking I think. 🤣
I will now return to the topic at hand.
Oh I completely agree, I’m not sure how you balance it, other than to make it a game convention that chaff smoke systems are effective against it because IRL they aren’t;
But even then the gameplay style for mmW Brimstone guidance is very difficult to counter from the ground, boarding on not possible other than hard kill APS.
As long as we can delete SB Convoys with a Brimstone volley, I really dont care how they balance them for GRB :P
Even if that means restricting them to only be usable in air modes
i would actually play sim if they added this and maybe the prox fuze to the brim 2s when they eventually come. (me assuming the tornado could carry the 2s maybe?). would make deleting convoys so cathartic as i can actually play my tornado and maybe have some fun finally.
Yeah, this is what I was so excited for in the GR4 only to have the Brimstone resigned to a DOA weapon that is hardly worth even looking at let alone taking into SB.
And yeah, it would give the GR4 a real niche ability that would be a lot of fun, especailly if combined with SEAD gameplay any time soon.
How I see it for the GR4. If we get MMW, then Tornado GR4 probably should stick with MMW Brimstone 1s for the purposes of mitigating the BR increase
If not, then we should get SAL Brimstone 2s on it until such time we get MMW.
Im not sure about Brimstone 3s, and I know they never used Spear-3s, but Brimstone 2s were in service for 2 years before even being fired on the Typhoon, so I would assume they were used on the GR4
Can the MMV Radar of Brimstones target air vehicles?
Could you launch it at a fighter jet flying at high speed or at a helicopter?
I dont think it can be used against Jets (though thats where SAL would come in handy) but I think I recall something somewhere about it being usable against Helis ,which does make sense.
knowing gaijin they wont allow it considering in game they have the radar cross section of a fly when they should have huge rcs due to the spinning blades.
Probably, but MMW isn’t quite the same either.
i just know they wont make it that easy for us, killing helis is somehow just as dangerous if not more than taking on spaa at the moment as ir is usless against them and you canbarely get a radar lock on them. Best bet is guns but then they hear you coming despite going mach… they ought to sort out sound in air as hearing super sonic missiles tailing your ass alerting you to missiles that should hit you isnt fun.
Yeah, there is a lot of core gamepaly that just makes no sense
tracer?
use against helicopters was advertised as a FAHW capability, if that helps

Alright, hear me out. Anyone know of the mosquito could dump fuel? If so we could finally get a decent fuel load on our HEFTY fighters and finally not be so much of a bus, especially the naval variant. best i could find is some heavy fighters had this so i came here to see if anyone else knew anything about it?
Or maybe any other heavy fighters with stupid fuel loads that hinder it.
Maybe…
The question is, what will the “minimum” we can dump down to. Whether they do aircraft specific minimums (like on the Harriers you can only dump the wing tanks, so that leaves about 2800lb of fuel in the centre line tank) or just lock it the minimum fuel selection
I just want to finally use some heavy fighters without gaijin half arsed attempt at “balancing” getting in the way. So many are neutered to fit the br they want it at when it would do so much better if they simple unshackled it and let it work itself out.
I’ve updated the main post with a few more details I’ve found
