MAWS too for me, in the matches I had today it was giving directional warnings that were completely off.
I’ve had a Su30 shoot ET’s at me that I easily dodged and the MAW was still screaming at me for minutes lmao.
To replace them with Brimstone 2s?
Or just leave them there when Brimstone 2s get added next year or later.
They are 12 months overdue. In the absence of MMW, we should have had Brimstones 2s on the GR4 from the get go

Because the only area where it’s dominant is export to countries who don’t know what they’re doing so when it lies lifeless on the ground and smoked by TEMU rockets they can blame the customers for not knowing what they do.

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).
