Oh but they can, you’re trusting too much to developers.
Priority Track, PIRATE, etc etc, Yeah no chance any of that is coming.
But GMTI/T. I cant see why it wouldnt
Those modes doesnt even work properly half of the time, i dont even bother to switch my radar to GMTI mode when im using F15E or SU34.
can you even use those modes to cue A2G weapons ingame currently?
Didnt even bother to check tbh but let me test it.
He’s pointing out that “having potential” isn’t a guarantee you will get to use it. Ironically, despite Motorola’s moaning about how Su-34 is more prone to getting CAP’d out of the air (and therefore it needs to be the only jet with good CAS capabilites, pfft), it has by far the shortest time it needs to spend “in the air” (i.e spawn - > getting rid of its A2G ordnance) of all the top tier CAS planes. A Typhoon, even if you do take all of the 18 Brimstones, has to stay around for much much longer and may not even get half of the kills a Su-34 can within that time before getting shot out of the sky. The realistic kill potential difference when it comes to CAS is simply far too large between the EFT and any jet with F&F weapons (specifically in this case, the Su-34 and the Rafale), the theoretical potential becomes irrelevant then.
Yes, the EFT has a lot of theoretical potential when it comes to CAS with so many Brimstones/GBUs, problem is that theory still has to be applied to reality, and most of the time you are definitely not going to use even half of the Brimstones unless you’re firing like 3 or 4 per target. Most would prefer (so would I) to have a far lesser number of F&F Brimstones (6) since it would make our lifes vastly easier.

On the dev server, it would cue the Tpod to the lock, but was a little on the glitchy side. Also, at least in the Typhoon, it should locate both moving and stationary targets, but only worked on moving targets on the Dev server
Tbh i want FnF for Brimstone because i just want Russia to suffer (maybe US too a little) i really don’t care the about the rest
but hey thing like that won’t allow isn’t it? only Russia are allow to do such thing
Funny it fine when Russia do it but it not when other want to do the same.

how would it locate stationary targets?
this would make it quite easy to fool no? just prop up some sheet metal
GMTI mode either works or just straight up refuse to see it.
It basically locks your targeting pod to ground unit and allowing you to target them without switching to pod view, problem is tho at distances you need identify enemy units in order make sure they are dead or not.

Just going by this source written by one of the engineers (I believe) of the CAPTOR-M
Accurate tracking of both stationary and moving objects on the ground is enabled by the Ground Moving Target Indication/Track function. Identification of possible targets is aided by a built-in database that has various threat entries (such as tanks), providing the pilot with a type assessment. CAPTOR can thus also facilitate the engagement of possible targets such as fortifications, vehicles, or surface-to-air missile installations. - Source
so could be used to laser a target if it worked right? or cue the IR seeker on a maverick (or GBU-53 in future)
so just uses recognition of radar signature to lock on?
id trust the moving target mode more since at least you KNOW its not just a decoy
No reason why a decoy couldnt be also moving. Easy enough to do.
but as decoys are not a thing in game. Its not really a thing you have to worry about
Since only way to recieve F&F Brimstones will be MMW and LOAL version Gaijin will certainly not gonna add anytime soon.
Meanwhile they can switch current Brimstone’s to Brimstone 2 in order to boost its performance but thats it.
A potent Typhoon player can easily avoid any type of threats and deals with Ground units until its out of fuel or ordinance , most of the time my main problem is the fuel amount cause i constantly use my AB all the time instead of using my fuel efficently.
And in return EFT gets the best flight performance, bein able to carry most A2G and A2A ordinance at the same time while having best situational awareness and survivability.
EFT Pros heavily compensate its only Cons in this game.

would be highly susceptible to dead tanks though. radar cant tell if its on fire or not
Good thing there is a LOBL mode for Brimstones as well.
Exactly, i just tested on my F15E and when GMTI saw the targets and locked on to them it basically worked like that, but remember you have to enable your laser lock for Guided munitions otherwise it will miss the target.
They could also bump us to Brimstone 3. The main upgrade there is a 0 drift IOG which would give the Typhoon a similar ground strike ability to a F-15E spamming off GBU-39s
this would be good for addition if there wasnt like 1 other MMW fixed wing launched weapon that can be launched in same numbers as a brimstone
