If it got a new logic on its approach and terminal phases. Akin to how the Kh59 is behaving
First few Sea Eagle reports in:

Ah64E for the Brit TT on dev but no Brimestones :(
I thought the Apache that tested brimstones was American
In as far as the E wasnt in production for the UK at the time, yes. It would have been an American apache E.

Apparently the DIN 1314ps for CV12’s is under review by devs

More precisely it was a “civilian” Apache operated by Boeing for the tests, modified from the US military production line.
It was flying with a US civil aviation “N” registration painted on the tail boom. Which is the white blurred out mark on the tail in most public images from the tests. And hadn’t had any “United States Army” markings applied.

Brimstone mmW is still considered too OP to add. ignores the LMUR

Also somehow they remain yet to address the existence of MMW obscuring smoke grenades such as M81 or why such a feature couldn’t be implemented, It’s not like IR Obscurants aren’t either.
As proof that they do exist and entered service you have the US’s 66mm (IR/MMW) M81 obscurant smoke grenade;
These smokes would only work against the longbow radar and the such not the seeker in Brimstone as no chaff exists at its wavelength
Matching exact wavelengths isn’t constraint on any of the radars or RWRs (see older band resignation from US to NATO standards), even when specs are know for both transmitter and the receiver why would it be in this case.
Doesn’t help that the MMW band covers 30~300Ghz, so would cover both the 35 Ghz and 94 Ghz seekers of the Hellfire and Brimstone respectively.
The chaff would only work against the longbow radar
It not matching exact wavelengths but still there is no chaff in its wavelength
LMUR isnt mmW. Additionally the AH Mk 2 gets 16 x (double LMUR) AGM-179. So nothing has been ignored.
Brimstone mmW is on another level.

Could at least model it semi functional for aircraft to use in other modes.
It’s astounds that you lot won’t consider the substandard capability for air to ground in any other mode but ground. In spite of the presence of “Air battles”.
Any ability to weigh in on why for example adding MMW chaff to the “generic smoke” grenade as a gaming convention (As I can’t find specific equivalents to the aforementioned M81 Smoke outlined above, for all nations) was not an option explored to permit the addition of MMW Seekers?
It seems like it should be an option that perfectly address the aforementioned concerns that it doesn’t have a counter.
Weapons are not game mode spesific. Outside of “event” modes. It cant be done that way.

There currently is no smoke avalable to all nations that defeats Brimstone. There are other factors too such as the volly fire LOAL. AGM-179 is a weapon perfectly fit for current game balance.

Couldn’t they still be station and launcher limited by reducing them to only carriage on a select stations or only the dual racks to reduce effective stowed kills? (or Spike SP costs, to soft balance them).
As I recall Gaijin reserves the capability to balance Stores and Ammo availability for implemented vehicles.
“It can’t” is an excuse that only convinces the technically illiterate.
What you mean is “It won’t because we find it too tedious to bother accounting for” in much the same way as you won’t move to a more precise datatype to facilitate larger scale air maps (giving your organisation the greatest benefit of the doubt regarding the Falkland’s inaccurate scale). Which is a significantly greater technical challenge than creating a flag to specify game modes. Which one would assume any sane developer already has.
This has already been considered too.
