I’d love more utility out of the MAWS which I’m sure may come in the future. But for now it adheres to my needs. I simply use it to verify if my RWR ping is legit (as in the missile is tracking me rather than someone else in my vicinity).
If it is I defend, if it isn’t then I recommit, that’s all I can ask of it.
Especially since Vikhrs do not appear to be togglelable in flight, it’s kinda ironic that it’s the one doing the dual purpose by default
Ye, I would even like to see an DA.1 wirh 9Ls, no DASS, RB.199 Engine maybe some dump bombs.
EVEN AS PREMIUM, Gromvoiny, if you see this, PLEASE
This is where the cries of double standards emerge from though, the devs are free to make any assumptions and additions they want, but when we ask for changes of the exact same nature, we’re asked for sources and rigorous proof, despite not being able to access the info gaijin uses to inform their internal decision making.
I think an element of transparency should be pushed for here, especially as we reach more modern weapons system, which in turn require more dubious sources and assumptions for their addition
If that’s tbe case, then hopefully we see them distributed into a similar case with the JAGM, as in:
Brimstone 1 (SAL)
Brimstone 2 (MMW)
At least as far as naming conventions go, because I’m aware that the Brimstone 2 has some significant upgrades over the 1
new motor with a 200% range increase and I believe prox fuse (though that might be Brimstone 3).
It would significantly reduce loiter times at short ranges and allow for Brimstones to be fired at much longer ranges allowing more time to better position yourself to lase the target in the termainal phase.
But in ARB/ASB where Brimstones arent ever worth taking, they might actually have a use
I mostly want Brimston 2 SAL for the longer range.
Edit removed incorrect information.
It should pull harder too right? I’ve heard that they are HOBS capable as far as AGMs go
Brimstone 2s dont have GNSS.
That is the Spear-3
They dont have GNSS, brimstone 3 we have the data for. Its very very good IOG
There is evidence that should be on the Brimstone 1 as well, but the increased thrust just makes it better on the Brimstone 2, so hopefully it would to a degree
Fair enough. A previous post misled me. :)
Post amended with more correct information.
Brimstone 1/2 should only have an IOG drift of a few metres (been internally reported) and iirc Brimstone 3 has upgraded intertial navigation which could translate to so little IOG drift that it can be used a psuedo GPS. But the need for absolute accuracy could mean that even 1m IOG drift would be way too much to be usable in that regard
The inner AMRAAM pylon would be open to consideration if there was more information on it. So far however its just been computer generated images and drawings. No real evidence of the pylon currently.
Yes, I agree that the grounds for addition aren’t there yet; however my point is that if the devs had previously decided to overlook that and add it anyway, then that process of ‘freestyling’ additions so to speak, would join a list of other convenient additions which help the performance of a vehicle (eg. Dual R-77 pylons found on various flankers).
Unfortunate there was sufficient information for the R-77 dual pylons for them to be considered. That same level hasn’t yet been reached with the inner AMRAAM pylons.
The Eurofighters are generally performing better currently than the Flankers too on top of that.
that being only installed on a completely different air frame, the su-35s? which also had the space between the engines widened to specifically accommodate the double rack?
It’s a double standard imo
Id just like to know when we are getting BOL.
as per the Thai Subtree devblog thing:
and this directly contradicts the current state of BOL and decision to change it 2 years ago. It is really really time for Gaijin to undo those fake changes and maybe even go as far as to implement BOL properly to the best the game can handle:
Can you forward this please
Community Bug Reporting System
Yep, those should just get removed.
yeah uh, no we dont lmao
