In intense battles with 12.7 weapons, American vehicles have been at a disadvantage. Abrams tanks struggle to compete with other tanks, CAS capabilities are inferior to other factions, and the striking power of AGM65D cannot match other ATGMs. Can the AH64D Apache be equipped with AGM114L and converted to infrared guidance mode?

Create a proper suggestion post. And to be honest helicopters now, specially models without a infrared guided missile (fire-and-forget) are really worthless to bring into a match, with this weapon maybe boost the power of the Apache.
AH-64E can be added with SPIKE-ERs.
That just leaves Britain with no options. Still lack a decent source to confirm IR guidance for the Martlets on the Wildcat, in which case, JAGM and Brimstones on the AH-64E with MMW are our only option for FnF
I wish they commited to this as a short-term stop gap to level the playing field a bit. The hard block on MMW, and no timeframe on when or even if we’ll get it added is brutal
? Britain operates the AH-64E as well.
All AH-64Es are cleared for SPIKE, JAGM, and AGM-114 use.
Brimstones were never cleared testing on these production vehicles.
After gaijin cancel to use ATGM exploed the AAM, AGM114 now is useless, it should be consider add AGM114L directly, even it was radar guide, I don’t know why Gaijin believe it can go through the smoke and then too OP, for most of F&F missiles, smoke is the smallest issue.
Doesnt mean Britain will get them. We have seen many times before that Britain only gets what it actually used. For example, Typhoon FGR4 deoesnt get GBU-48 or even its own native equivalent ePaveway II. None of the Phantoms get Napalm, etc etc.
its reasonable to assume they wouldnt be added to Britain
This has never been an issue. (for example, SRAAMs and PGMs)

It quite literally does. If it’s a historical loadout on the vehicle itself, that’s all that matters.
Also GBU-48’s worse than the laser GBU it has, and those specific laser GBUs’ primary purpose would be base bombing, which the British ones do slightly better at 293ish TNTe.
Also one test unit doesn’t equal cleared for use on service vehicles.
That and SPIKE-ERs are IR guided and guaranteed on AH-64Es.
Laser+GPS is much better than pure laser.
Then Napalm for the F-4K(UK)?
Then I guess PGM-500/2000s and SRAAMs need to be removed from the game.

Please, i beg you. Stop asking for gaijin to use ahistorical mechanics to shoehorn newer weapons into the game.
This is why brimestones are the way they are.
Add weapons with their irl mechanics when the game is ready for it.
If they fixed the hellfire flight path it would be much better
gaijin can just pull a Eurofighter Typhoon / JAS39 and give the British AH-64E spikes
If history says anything, its that we are the least likely to get that treatment. The only exception being the Gripen, where we got the worst A2A fit of them all.
Gripen literally has 4x AMRAAMs as all other 13.7 Gripens.
No?
SAAF Gripen has 4x R-Darter, not AMRAAM
Fact of the matter is, MMW missiles could be added literally tomorrow and function identically to current IIR munitions if they weren’t too stupid to just make smoke multi-spectral(which has existed for decades at this point) for top tier vehicles.
But they won’t do this for “‘some reason’”… Curious… Almost like this would only help every tech tree that isn’t a “‘certain nation’” .

Exactly. R-Darter is an Advance Medium Range Air-Air Missile BTW.
No. AMRAAM is a registered trademark of Raytheon

@warthogboy09 Raytheon can do whatever it wants, I’m still using it as an abbreviation for all AMRAAMs, not just their’s.
That or I can type AMRAAARHM instead. ;)
