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
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.
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.
