Eurofighter Typhoon - Spear-3

This is terrible line of discussion, lets ban Russian heavy ERA because no one else has an equivalent.
Did anyone else have a Kh-38 equivalent? Has anyone else got a Pantsir SV equivalent?

We cannot keep throwing around well no one else has it so why should someone else get it.

Implementation of new seeker is kinda hard. Plus they explained many times why it cant be added.

Like ?
Dont think there is anything else to add as a F#F weapons.

We can prop see the anti ship missile being added as compatibility exucse even tho they dont operate it.

Sure why not.

Tbf the closest missile similar to them are Taurus and Storm Shadow, not spear

I tried to suggest mdoe 2. This mode requires you to physically mark a target with a laser and then the Brimstone locks onto that specific target. But they said that it would be a problem because it would result in too many TKs…

Like. What?

So dont mark your teammates then? Should we ban ALL FnF Weapons because if you fire at your teammate you will kill them?

GNSS or GNSS Spear-3s to give us a spammable, long range, GNSS weapon. Something stronger than GBU-39s, but weaker than GBU-53.

True, I’ll take 2 of those as well.

As i said, i agree with this. I am talking about other options which i may not be aware of

Idk why u even tried to compare long range cruise missile to spear, mavs and Kh-38

Not so close. As one is like is far more modern then the other.

Close enough if we want to keep it in the same weapon category

Yes true

None currently.

Typhoon was designed to use Brimstones. It is the principle weapon and if deployed in anger against armoured tanks. It is what it would use.

This is the issue.

There are dozen or so missing GBU options, and then of course Cruise missiles like Storm Shadow. But in terms of practical, shorter range, FnF weapons, it is Brimstone.

So a GNSS+SAL Spear-3 coupled with SAL- Brimstones 2s would help dramatically offset the loss of FnF Brimstone

Gaijin’s “official” reason for saying no to Spear-3 in any form is that it has too much range…

Well… why werent AGM-84 or KH-59 denied for the same reason?

cause there not british

also there saying to much range like it means anything, it just gives the new pantsir more time to intercept

Don’t ask me, their somecalled “logic” is far beyond me and any normal reasoning

There are concerns for air modes. Grom-1s got removed because of people killing bases litereally cross map. But Spear-3s would do basically no damage .

But that is why I was comparing Spear-3 to those weapons. If the only excuse they can come with is “it has too much range” then it raises a question of why the double standard and its there their argument just collapses in on itself

Have you tried them at least?

I did and auto destruct after 30km.

I think their reasoning was something closer to “we don’t want to add sworm of 70’ish km range small bombs for GRB”. Just a balancing reason with stupid explanation by them.

Im guessing that will have changed with LOAL being added on the dev server.
