Which is why I am always so mad about the Brimstone dev comment.

Its not just what was said, it is that it was said in the same update that added the Su-34 with 6 of the damn things. When no nation could even deal with an Su-25SM3 (from the ground)

and then ontop of that htey are a paper weapon with no proof they ever existed

Part 2 of Brimstone doing nothing at all to Mi28nm

Have you got a bug report for this in yet?

no, cant tell if its the brimstone or mi28

I dont think that matters, but if its only the MI-28, then its probably something wrong with the aircraft

anyways ,given up with reports for the eft, they dont even look at them

Any chances it might also be due to server desync ?
I have had IR AASM hitting MI28MN quite easily, so I don’t think it has to do with the helicopter. It’s either Brimstone or gaijin netcode moment. Are you able to kill other helis with brimstone ?

i think its due to server issues. i have been killed by brimstones in the mi28. but i think there is an issue with some targeting pods not being able to lock helicopters ? im not sure if its only some helicopters or all helicopters.

Yes, targeting pods have issues locking basically anything. I have to use IRST to get a targeting pod lock on helis but if they flare I lose it. It’s very annoying in general

Also for whatever reason the IRST lock seems to drift around a lot? I don’t trust it to guide in brimstones when it’s not even on the target half the time.

Okay, I got an answer from the BW (No, not regarding the Inner Pylon) but for the Canards, according to the Bundeswehr thats the Parking position

Zusammenfassung




Why are the Canards at full angle when on ground?

Regarding 1. It’s the so-called parking position of the slats, regardless of whether the engines are running or not. As long as the aircraft is not in FRS (flight mode), they remain in this position and are automatically moved to the dump position during landing after the nose gear touches down to slow the aircraft down!

Why the diffrent Nose cone colours?

Regarding 2. This small tip is made of plastic and doesn’t indicate which radar is installed. There are only three manufacturers that produce it, so it’s available in different colors and needs to be replaced regularly because the inside burns away over time (due to radar radiation, but that’s intended).

Under which name is the “Eurofighter” in the Bundeswehr?
EF-2000 or really Eurofighter, or someone else?

Regarding 3. We normally call it a Eurofighter, and in the system it is registered under the code 1B = Eurofighter, 1Y Tornado, 1W was the Phantom.

@Gunjob could the Number 1 be used to increase the speed lose when landing/touching ground or anything in that direction?

We have automatic slats when landing in the tornadoes. Surely same feature can be applied?

Gripen would also benefit here, presuming the Rafale also.

(Makes sense for EFT and Gripen as a common feature as BAE wrote the Gripens FBW software)

Rafale air brake already puts the canards in a pitched position, and it’s implemented in game. Now, whether it would pitch even more during landing, I don’t think so.
Rafale in usual « park » positions keeps its canards feathered compared to the EFT where they are completely pitched down

Hmmm yeah briefly looking at a few photos they don’t seem to pitch significantly down like those on Gripen and EFT do. Interesting.

God it’s so cute
