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.

They said the reason they don’t want to add ir or tv seekers on them is because it wouldn’t be accurate. So they limited them to only use the laser mode. Even if they only had ir they would be op, if they went back on the the accuracy part and made them tv at least that would be good but it wont happen.
We need to look into it further, because if Typhoon has the ability to perform evasive maneuvers while still lasing the target - they’re cooked, packed and sent via doordash to the closest garbage disposal facility. By them I mean pantsirs - the only SPAA that can somewhat pose a threat to typhoon.
I never used brimstones but they have iog so theoretically you could launch them with a laser lock, stop your laser and defend/make distance while the brimstone cruises toward the target. It would still take a lot of time but you should be safe?
Tornado also uses the same pod. As soon as you bank or try to fly perpendicular the bomb is lost, the lock always breaks.
Tornado GR4 players seem to be killing pantsir left right and centre so…
Not with Brimstones
idk about that i have never seen the tornado with brimstones at top tier, the av8 mostly
More importantly, if you’re going to hold a laser lock why not just drop a much more potent gbu vs a brimstone thats got a limited payload. like sure you can carry more, but you can already carry 8 missiles plus 8gbus.
JDAMs likely. Or this experiemental british bomb. This works if the won’t move.
Cause Maverick F&F beat Brimstones.
