So now that the Gripen E gets 16 FnF munitions that have nearly 3x the explosive mass of Brimestone.
mmW brimestone in January?

gaijin will still say mmw is too broken even though theres a really simple fix (make mmw ordinance susceptible to chaff, and then add chaff to all smoke grenades just like they did with all smoke grenades blocking thermals)
We can hope, but it certainly means that 12-18x Brimstones wont be an issue anymore
Gunjob, is there any way to report the firing order of the AMRAAMs when using all 8?
Because the firing makes not much sense
Wing left → wing right → Belly → belly → belly → belly → wing left → wing right
Like, shouldn’t the ones on the wings getting fired first?

Hows “new” Typhoon doing? Seems Su-30SM2 super biased is the second coming of Soviet Jesus.
It’s hard to find any considering both teams are usually 100% su30sm comp

Watched some vids and it seems very strong.
I don’t think Typhoon can ever challenge it.
We need to get the Rafale and MICA range buffed 😅
We can just glide bomb bases while the two cancers fight

Until the moment they introduce the turbojet-powered “SPICE 250 ER” with 300 km range which has the same size.
And aren’t the Brimstones currently really underperforming because of their wrong flight profile (“direct” instead of “loft”)?

Given the SPICE will be thrown at around mach 1 they will maintain most of that speed to target when thrown at game combat ranges, its not that much slower than the 450m/s of Brimestones when thrown from typical grb ranges.
And considerably less than the mach 2 limt kh38mts yeeted into the stratosphere by the Russian CAS planes.
The position most of the people that frequent the brimestone conversation had was limit them to 6 for balans sake, but thats been thrown straight out the window with the gripen getting so many smart FnF munitions.

Doesn’t seem that way, from all i’ve heard it’s radar is cooked currently and doesn’t want to cooperate with the missiles
spice 250 have more range than brimstone by a pretty big margin
Well considering I won a BVR duel against an SM2 with my CAPTOR-F 2000 Watt microwave vs his super turbo fantasy performance PESA radar.
So that radar MUST be bugged since it has every single advantage in the BVR (or WVR too).
Anyone saying SPICE bombs are bad is either:
A. Bad themselves
B. Have no idea what they’re talking about
C. Have never used SPICE/glide bombs
D. All of the above
you know that the Irbis is underperforming in range?

It’s overperforming for its current scan regions. 400km is only achievable in a 10x10 degree scan. Your own screenshot says this is for a “narrow viewing sector”. 200km otherwise.
It also scans impossibly fast (but gaijin doesn’t accept reports based on calculations lol)

“I do not believe that is accurate.”
“In fact that just seems like clear marketing lies to me anyway.”
Sorry, that seems to be the accepted, immediate, response as soon as someone brings up sources on radar performance

Could be spaded vs stock, helps a lot when it comes to defending.
But also every chance he was just a bad player. Had a rafale earlier just fly in a perfectly straight line whilst I hard locked them and then splashed them with a Aim-120C5
Can anyone check if I am looking at this correctly?
Somehow both the PESA Irbis, and the friggin’ garbage CAPTOR-M seem to sweep a 30° S I G N I F I C A N T L Y faster than CAPTOR-E?

Might be the bar count. ECRS has a lot more.
