yep, only pre-programmed targets, but you could essentially jsut ripple fire them over a battlefield and they would go find targets. Coordinating with each other to each hit a seperate target. Was designed for just wiping out soviet convoys
Looks a little like this
Ok that is truly gamebreaking rn. But then i dont see any reason not to add mode 2
I mean, we could propose a sort of Semi Active mode? What if we had to initialy guide them WITH lasers to a target before it goes “active” and guides on its own with a REALLY slow reaction time?
That way theyd basically function as a Fox1
its because Brimstones use MMW.
They “explain” here in the Tornado Gr4 dev blog
but the only thing of note is the fact that the MMW seeker can see through smoke. The rest is somewhat nonsense
Has the plane lost the ability to accelerate vertically? it was doing it yesterday but not after the afterburner nerf it seems. Even without weapons.
I think dry thrust is still lacking a bit of power
It might be correct now
I looked a bit into the basic capabilitys of the Captor-M:
-apperently it operates in X-Band at 8-12GHz
-can be Gimbaled upto +/- 60 degrees horizontal and vertically
-can hold lock over its shoulder
(upto 100 degrees offcenter, still need to find a propper source for that tho)

If the weaponry isn’t being held back for game play reasons, why are we not receiving aim9li-1 with a smokeless motor, as that’s absolutely a game changing mechanic in sim?
a CAPTOR-M improvements is in the works, so until we see that, no point reporting anything
Also much slower, though
The best way to use Brimstone isnt as a standoff weapon but almost as a guided rocket.
The Kh-38 is a standoff missile with great range and good tracking that requires no additional input from the launch aircraft.
Ik but like smin said:
I asked gunjob in the other thread if I should hold off on things like reporting the low INS tracking time, and he said yes. So gunna wait for now
ok
didnt see that until now
Yeah that seems fine to me!
Sounds like a superior air to ground weapon is made worse than current russian ingame ones…
They could have made them work like russian KH- fire and forget missiles. No reason to make them lol laser guided bombs with rocket engine.
Its because we can carry 18 of them on 1 jet.
18 FnF weapons on 1 jet seems like a bit much don’t you think?
18 brimmstones equals to exactly 1 pantsir killed, lol

They can restrict the loadout count? All I know is that laser guided stuff becomes meaningless above 10.7 BR - 11.0 BR. SPAAs are too powerful for jets which need to hold laserlocks. Its suicide.
