I was hoping that brimstones on typhoon would be easiar, and to a degree they are compared to the GR4 bus, but in terms of actual use in GRB, the skill ceiling is insane compared to say 65G or KH38,
you either do 2-3km run pasts and learn to be super accurate with locking targets in <2 seconds, or you attempt to launch out of range of pantsir and grab a cup of tea for the 50+ seconds it takes to land, jumping up last second,
so many missiles, but not a change in hell to be able to use them whilst also managing the skies with A2A
Im thoroughly disappointed in brimstone and would actually rather just have half as many mavricks

Hes right, if the map is somewhat open russian players (chinese too?) always bring their KH jets and thats the end. Before any SPAA might react the targets are locked and the KH’s on their way. Yesterday, while grinding, I had a guy who instakilled several players. The killfeed was full of his kills. Should have made a screenshot.
Yes Brims are not practical. Try a mixed loadout with GNSS bombs (2) and rest Brims. When you spawn quickly check enemy spawns for SPAA units and toss the bombs in GNSS mode. Mind the speed limit, bomb release speed has been nerfed to below Mach 1, you spawn above mach 1, so you have to reduce your speed. It reduces their range and makes your jet very vulnerable, sadly. Let them glide in. Sometimes the SPAA player wont move. When you read the killfeed you can close in to use Brims.
But yes, thats no comparison to KH38 F&F use. EF2000 needs either better ordnance or a BR decrease in GRB. Face it. Without F&F ordnance its not a GRB top tier jet.
It can get to a position to slam anything on the ground without fear of being hit by a SAM of any kind within a minute of spawning and carries the most amount of laser guided ordnance of any top tier CAS.

Thank you for sharing your experience with it.
I just watched videos of EFT + Brim combo and they either heavily cripple the target or outright OHK it.
EFT could get faster Brims but that’s about it until we get more BRs.
You’re both like that. Stop acting like you’re on some moral high ground here
We also know they were met, either during development or in the end product:

This is indeed a flight model inaccuracy, however it also has too little lift/is too stable in the entire regime so, basically it needs a rework with about 30-35 degrees of AoA max, and a minimum speed of around 110 KEAS.

China is one of the worst nations for top tier CAS. The best CAS loadout for China is 2 KH-29Ts and 4 LGBs.

Same as Germany then. Also 2 max. Enough to evaluate how great these KH’s are, but unfortnately 2 is not cost-effective. Same as the 2x Maverick Pantoms.
KH-29Ts are still significantly worse than KH-38MTs and only slightly better than Mavericks
Not to mention that they’re on the JH-7A… Not exactly a good airframe anyway.

Imho they kill everything they hit. Unlike Mavericks, which are a bit tricky.
Well, maybe they’re a bit more reliable at killing…
Doesn’t change the fact that they have meh range, you can only carry two, and they’re on a very mid CAS plane.
So yeah, Chinese CAS is far behind Russia’s.

What do you mean same as Germany?
Germany has one of the best Cas Platform with really good A2G capabilites, stop complaining about Brimstone’s just because you cant use them properly.

Dont forget KH29’s are TV guided while top tier AGM65’s are IR which effectively changes engagement distances.
F&F is a must in top tier max br matches. Everything else is just problematic.
Sounds like you have massive issue, Brimstone’s are pretty much semi f&f if you use the method i told you countless times, but only thing you do is complain.

Dont make up stories. These workarounds don’t make it F&F or semi F&F. Its still exposes you. Instead of F&Fing your volley after spawn and free yourself to do a2a duties etc, you’re bound to this laserlock nonsense and have fiddle around with timers.
