I’m not really going to argue this point any longer, but there are people like Hunter that show there is counterplay in this scenario
SP costs for CAS are kind of low to be honest. Just increase Su-34 cost to like 1400 SP and you’ll see how quickly the spam goes away.
I’d just move spawns further away so they need some time to come in range. Making them spawn on an AF is dangerous because spawn killing. Maybe it could be done but we’d need to have more space and more airfields present.
Not in that post, but you did in your post earlier.
The problem is Hunter and others show you 2/3 games. It isnt always an accurate data set.
If you were to take average gameplay of a Su-34 vs Typhoon the majority of the Typhoon players are not going to achieve the same level of efficacy as the Su-34.
And yes i have had 5+ kill CAS games in Typhoon I have also died instantly from a hawking Rafale/Su-27 or ambushed by a Strela.
That yea, the most reliable way to counter su-34 is to wait near their airfield.
What I’ve been saying ever since they added Brimstones.
Reduce the amount of just two suspended racks (i.e 3x2, or 6 Brimstones), give them Mav Gs seeker, viola, Rafale’s equivalent basically in terms of CAS F&F potential.
And you still get a metric ton of Paveway IVs on top of this.

Yep it’s not like you’re gonna be able to use em properly when the radar locks onto missiles more than jets
So manufacture a fake weapon?
You say that like its something gaijin hasn’t done already for balance. Im just gonna pretend you didn’t say that because it actually hurt reading that lol.
I think it’ll be far more logical for a Shadow storm or Spear 3 with the current game implementations of IIR seekers.
My original idea is something gaijin has already done and can be done again. Id rather not wait for new weapons that may not come soon enough
Well I think that is a terrible idea especially with Gaijin trying to push away from fictional items.
Pictures and info on the Spear 3 points to it having pretty much the same seeker as the brim, so multimode mmw/sal, which leaves the storm shadow, a cruise missile to act as FnF anti-tank weaponry.
So its perfectly fine for Brimstone to be essentially useless? Im sorry but thats a dumb idea. My suggestion would be temporary until gaijin is ready to add FnF brimstones with thwir proper range. This essentially makes the current Brimstones on par with AGM 65 which gives 3 nations viable CAS.
Except the Spear 3 is said have a seeker similar to the SDB-II.
No just a terrible suggestion. And yes it is fine for it to act as an better AGM-65E
Im just gonna agree to disagree, you strike me as someone who will continue to just say no, no matter what so whatever.
Really? I’ve heard the IR part isn’t there and it’s closer to Laser SDB
Possibly not I read it from UK jorno post and don’t know the credibility of the site.
Yeah, might have to check that out
Thats how it looks like, Suchoi fires a full volley of KH-38. This guy spawned, shot all his F&F ordnance into the ground map and turned away to do whatever… Before it got close enough to shot SAMs at him. It doesn’t take long to spot 6 thermal dots and to launch the KH’s.
VT-1 max range is at 12km. Over 10km it becomes less maneuverable, so realistic range is about 10km. Tell me one Nato SPAA which might reach out far enough to at least make any KH-38 spammer to turn away. They just know nothing might reach them and fly straight, hugging their thermal target viewer, doing their spacebar thing on easy to spot white thermal dots.
EF2000 can’t do that. Lasing is just meh at this BR. Takes too long to shot, to wait etc. Makes you very vulnerable. If you launch from max range you need to wait longer than a minute while you need to hold still to lase the target. Also … how many targets can be fought this way, when a average GRB match takes 10 mins or something? Also all the time, you’re in range of Pantsir SPAAs. So you need to turn alot and this might mess up any laser lock. Its just hopeless. Brims are useless, except you go in close and personal. But then any heli or spaa will just shot you down. If you bank away, the lock is gone in an instant and Brims have no IOG.
