but target point, as i understand it, can be set via pod or the map, and launched at without LoS as is currently the case with SAL Brimstone. Maybe its me being awkward but i wouldn’t consider that LOBL, as you could use the ground minimap to set target point in enemy spawn or on a scouted target and fire from behind terrain, for mmW to LOAL if/when it sees a target in the area.
TV/IIR need to lock either a point on the ground or a vehicle, with both requiring LoS to launch. And I think this form of laser designation targeting wouldn’t allow the rippling/multi target ability most people are wanting from an F&F Brimstone?
It is entirely about consistency. Either Gaijin commits to fake weapons or not, but this mishmash is weird. So I’d rather have them give the Brimstone an IR Seeker just for balance so that it can match the 38MTs or remove the 38MTs.
I personally don’t like the idea of fake weapons, but then again if it brings consistency into their own game design philosophy I’m all for it.
