Yeah, the argument of “We don’t want to give it an ahistorical seeker it didn’t have, so we’ll give it an ahistorical seeker it did have (in that its limited to SAL only)” is a bit silly. Still, better to have them like this then not have them at all.

Just need better range/speed on them, they take an age even if you launch them at 1.4 M. Though tbh we also need better render range on TGP pods to begin with, the weapon systems on the last few jets that have come out have excessive range considering you can’t really lock anything over 20km beyond terrain.

The key attribute is the combo of IR+IOG-GNSS. They will quite happily track someone through smoke if you aren’t careful.

What they need to do at a minimum is give us historically accurate brimstone 2s on the typhoon. They never used 1s

3642

Personally, I think both have their advantages, AASM have their cons in close range while Brimstone does not and that’s the other way around at range

Brimstone 3s preferably.
Netter engine and the iog upgrade

And oh yeah proxy hwarhead for ARB

3644

Proxy Fuse is not a feature exclusive to Brimstone 3 fyi

Yeah that would be even better, but baby steps. We still don’t have historically accurately modeled Brimstone 1s (things like prox fuse, flight time, etc)

3646

EFT had no engine upgrade though? still using EJ200?

3647

I know, spoken about general upgrades fpr that one

3648

Brimstone 2 had an engine upgrade we are talking about brimstones

3649

oh ok

3650

Well… We could get a prototype typhoon with TVC engines at some point. That would be a laugh

3651

would be pretty funny yeah

3652

Sadly never actualy installed.

AMK and thats the only real change we would get for it

3653

I think we have enough examples of vehicles that never existed fully like the yak-141 that it’s possible we could see it in the future.

If nothing else, war thunder is the perfect place to see what never built/entered service vehicles would perform

3654
Shouldn't the Brimstone's launch zone be much larger? What's stopping them from doing something like this?

That is a feature of Brimstone 2s not the 1s we have in game at the moment

I have never seen such a technical and in Depth drawing in my life.

I don’t have this issue going that fast in the J-8F, F-15, Kfir, MiG-23, M2K etc at altitude. The instructor just limits the pull at that speed.

It was only advertised as a Brimstone feature since 2016 with the development of the Future Attack Helicopter Weapon (FAHW) subvariant. As far as I know, Brimstone 3 will be the first in-service missile to have it. Unless you know of a Brimstone 2 “Spiral” stage that had it?

MBDA Literature for Dual Mode Brimstone, and Brimstone 2 prior to 2016 made no mention of it. In fact the 2015/2016 version of the datasheet didn’t mention it either - only the 2016 FAHW one did. It’s in the 2018 datasheet but this is since Brimstone 3 development went beyond the design phase.
