i think they will probably add MMW munitions once they add atleast 1 mbt with APS to every tt. (BVVD said they will add MITL once they add APS to every tt so the same may apply for MMW)
3D Audio would honestly be awesome for headphone users, especially for stuff like Sim

Yeah, it would be interesting.
Kh-59 being a jet powered cruise missile is a good precedent for getting SPEAR, typhoon has tested them on the outermost wing pylon (excluding the AAM one) so could work for a limit of 6 missiles, multi-mode seeker has IIR as well I think

Pretty sure typhoon is compatible with the 3x launcher, so maybe 12
Spear-3 doesnt have IIR.
Just MMW+SAL+GPS.
Its Brimstone seeker with the added GPS
But we could get them just in a GNSS + SAL combo with 0 drift or something. To at least give us something a bit like a GBU-39s, long range, spammable weapon. But its been denied because “its got too much range” Despite KH-59s already having greater range than can be seen on most Air Sim maps. let alone GRB maps.
In the GNSS+SAL only config. I dont see any reason we couldnt have all 18
Spear-Glide has IR/EO seeker though. Would be a lot like SPICE-250

Yeah I think as we get closer to the end of what exists that can be added we will start to get more theoretical things like TVC.
Gaijin won’t just stop, they want to make money at the end of the day.
I’m most looking forward to Asraam though.
I mean the 3x launcher is used for the twin paveways atm I think. My point was more that 18 IIR jet powered cruise missiles is probably a bit much

I wouldn’t have thought GPS would be counted as a seeker feature tbh
Yeah. I suspect the same too. cant be more than a few years until they’ll need to switch from realistic to proposed. Already doing it in a few places
Its counted as a guidance method. So heavily adjacent.
Though on something like the Spear-glide. I think it navigates through AI looking at what it sees in the IR/EO seeker rather than a GPS signal so it cant be jammed or something (Dont quote me on that though)
Su-9 being a jet powered fighter is a good precedent for getting Tempest
Spear-3 (Even in GNSS only mode) has been denied because it has “too much range” but the KH-59 can practically hit anything anywhere on any map even in ASB. Let alone on the vastly smaller maps we have in GRB, and due to the tiny warhead size, would usually have to be fired within 30km range anyway, due to Tpod restrictions.
So to deny a long ranged weapon for having too much range despite weapons with, for all intent and purposes, the same maximum range as something already in-game… is just daft

I think the CAPTOR-E is a case of only known figure is 200+ km. So theyve set it to 200.

There is another number that isn’t “more than”…
If you take the public F-35 RCS value of 0.005m^2 (“about the size of a golf ball”) that comes out to 292km vs a 3m^2 target, which would make (much) more sense.

Would take a few additional sources, but that could work
Additional sources being the issue there unfortunately. I’ll take a look.
its gaijin copy pasting the hmd values from the ECRS MK1

Should be limited to ±60 degrees. Working on a report for it
