It looks cool, but it has absolutely no range. Just over 3 miles. That’s much shorter than any anti-aircraft missile system. Well, maybe except for those armed with the Stinger. But in Mod B or Mod C, it could be a decent fnf hunter against lightly armored targets when playing from the terrain.
Just looks cool though, and LMM have comprable ish range to the Hellfires. So 11.3/11.7 they would be fine
Well, they are about 8km while hellfire is around 12km I believe
However, Martlets obviously have a proxy fuse and you can carry more
Later models of Hellfire are 12km, but all the versions in-game are 8km max
LMM I think are around 6-7km so a little lower than hellfire, which is why maybe they could eek out a lower BR. Especially with Vikhrs as low as 11.3

The sources I’ve seen state between 6-8km for LMM, so hopefully we get 8km
Fair enough then. So might end up higher then. I guess it depends on the entire platform. Would still be quite fun though
They do seem to guide a lot better at close range
However, they do sometimes still fly right over the target despite having a perfectly fine lock
Around 1/4 to 1/3 of my ALARMS missed when firing at between 5-10km, which is an improvement but still unreliable, especially considering the AI targets are static and don’t turn their RADAR off at all
So when will they add these into the game

Just got a little feedback for the aiming point system now it works
I do wonder what exactly is the difference between the 11.3 BR SU-39 getting 25MPUs and say, the hawk 200 RDA getting a pair of Alarms? Especially given the significantly less carry capacity the Hawk 200 has? While ALARM is “better”, it would be off set by the Hawk 200 not being amazing in and of itself and limited in weapons (picking either air to air or air to ground at that point, discounting 2 defensive wing tip 9Ls).
I get Tornado GR1 being a no due to it being a way better platform for mobility and carry weight, but just something I was thinking on.

If they deem the 10.7 and 11.3 aircraft’s radar warning receivers far too overpowered, then why don’t they hand out AGM-88 missiles as a substitute to compensate for missing alarms? Meanwhile the harrier GR7, tornado F3 late and harrier FA2 still get zero radar warning gear at all. This kind of blatant double standard is nothing new for them.

25s are pretty terrible, to the point they may as well not be considered. You would have a greater case comparing 31s found on the su39, aside from the fact they’re limited by the seeker you opt for. ALARM provides a lot more versatility. Success rate of ALARM exceeds 25s considerably in my testing.
Though I am of the mind ARMs should be added where possible to provide more arguments to bring air defences lower to ratings that could benefit from them.

Good idea, given that they did this in the past with skyflash missiles for Gripen and other planes iirc have had similar changes.
ARM not RWR, but I agree. Though i still don’t understand why 2x ALARM at 11.7 would be game breaking
(I don’t see why 4 would be actually)
And even then, even after all that, I don’t understand why they don’t just make the SP really high and then we can use them in air modes

I accidentally wrote RWR instead of ALARM because I wasn’t paying attention while using a translator… Gaijin’s balancing is an absolute joke. Between 10.3 and 11.3 BR, NATO’s mostly stuck with Roland and Stinger for air defense, while Russia already has usable anti-radiation missiles at 11.0. I doubt two ALARMs can even break through the defenses of Tunguska and Pantsir-S1.Giving us AGM-88s would make it way easier for us to deal with all these OP AA vehicles.

2S6, probably not, Pantsir no chance
the Tornado GR.1 in the 11.7 bracket still has to go up against the Pantsir-SM, this absolute balance-breaker.It’s already tough going up against the Pantsir-S1, but still stand a fighting chance.
