Thats not how it works. They will just correct.

Do I really need to add …“/s”… every single time? :D
No, I’m not…sadly… :D
Yeah and that’s going on for years, practically since WT begun.
The most ridiculous fact, that I figured only recently, is that Brimstone is just a supersonic PARS and it usually takes 2-4 PARS missiles to kill a single tank. Why the Brimstone couldn’t have been made MMW is beyond me, and I’d really, and I mean REALLY, like to hear GJ’s rationale behind that decision.
TLDR: not smokable, LOAL would be too little risk too high reward, teamkilling would be an issue.
Ofc that was all complete bs since they added the KH38MT only shortly after that.

False. Specific formulations exist that obscure the MMW band. If they reach up to 94Ghz of the Brimstone, is unknown but would likely be conferred considering the precedent set by RWRs and Radar detection bands.
So, essentially made up stuff. GJ managed to manufacture a problem for every solution.
LOAL reasoning is particularly difficult to swallow, as no one does it and is essentially a Strawman, against F&F missile on a certain platforms. However, there’s a video of SMSV shooting down the entire ApacheE JAGM load. In fact, the guy even briefly stops to assess the situation before continuing shooting them down. He has that kinda time on his hands…
GJ didn’t have a problem with that?
Plus, if PARS is anything to go by (and by gabarit it is), 18 Brimstones would be on par with 6 Kh38s, maybe a tad more destructive, but nothing insurmountable.

Dude I’m just citing Gaijin here. Don’t shoot the messenger. Shoot the guys too lazy to implement proper counters.
Tbf the Brimstones got added in October 24 so I’m actually 100% on Gaijins side that adding FnF brimstones at that point would have been a balancing nightmare. However since they added the 38MT shortly after, the points about skill requirement and counterplay are completely moot. And we have 2026 now, there are counters and they could still limit the amount of MMW brimstones to 6 if 18 is just too broken.
It most definitely will
I don’t think they are FnF which is what I was referring to? Unless I’m mistaken, I think it requires a radar lock from the host, in order for it to track.
edit: oops, should’ve scrolled down a bit more
Well when it comes to JAGM, longbow-hellfire, brimstones, etc, they act more like fox-3. IR seekers for the majority of munitions are over performing, because it relies on DL, IOG, GPS, during the majority of it’s flight, and only once in terminal phase, it switches to it’s IR seeker. The reason why it’s not like this in game is because it’s essentially LOAL.
I don’t think the Krizentema is like that. I haven’t seen a source where it mentions it having FnF capabilities.
MMW Kh-38MA
Mitl is going to be a nieche feature that never gets full use as we can only use it for the recent launch not all, mmw is insta passive lock guide through smoke and doesnt need mitl to counter multipathing targets next to each other like ir or tv
Is it as real as kh38mt?
Don’t know but let’s add it

It doesn’t, not true F+F in the same vein as a Longbow Hellfire anyway, the missile still requires continuous guidance via a tracking radar (so it’s more like a Fox 1 having to stay within LOS+Tracking of your target). You can launch another missile and guide that with laser while another missile is being guided by radar, you can do this with the in game ground Khrizantema I think.
iirc Kh-38 was added shortly before
which is why the Tornado GR.4 Devblog, which had the reasoning of F+F Brimstone being unfair against all current SPAA, turned into a firestorm of “why the hell did you add the Kh-38 then?” (which afaik never got an answer)
I agree. But WT Wiki says 38MT got introduced in March 2024, “Alpha Strike” patch.
So, apparently 38MT got into WT 7 months before Brimstone??
Be as it may, today, there’s absolutely no excuse for disallowing Brimstone to have MMW.
I mean, Brimstone is a PARS on steroids, performancewise and PARS isn’t really something to write home about. GJ could’ve easily make Brims ARH all this time.
Oh yeah my mistake, i meant on a good platform tbh at that point it was only 4 MTs on the SU 25 so it was somewhat bearable but the SU 34 and especially 30SM really pushed it over the top.
Yeah 100% agree, i think they should limit them, because 18 on an Eurofighter might be just too much but at least 6 so they can match the other CAS.
6 are practically nothing vs SMSV. It can easily take out a salvo of 12, or more.

True but you have to consider that grb is not always Eurofighter nation vs russia. 12 brimstones against an SM SV might not be too broken but other SPAA would struggle.

Indeed. I’m playing SB. Completely forgot about RB. Maybe it’s time to separate RB from SB, completely.
Since SMSV got introduced, the Russian WR went from 62% to 74% in SB. It’s disgusting.
