I was wondering about that, so brimstone are not gps but simply Inertial guidance. GPS, no matter how bad, would have given highly accurate information no matter what, so wouldnt give us the amount of drift we have in game rn lol.
Remember it started development in 1996. SPear-3 has GPS because the range and technology better allow it. But back then. The Brimstone was designed for a Tornado Gr4 to ripple of 12-18 of them at a small area using IOG and the MMW and communication systems to go and find 18 different targets on their own and blow them all up.
Well yeah, that’s why I asked about newer Brimstone 2 and 3
2 replaced the engine giving it 200% increased range
3 replaced the battery and INS kit
I cant recall any other modificaitons they got off the top of my head

Never really needed them, Brimstones where originally pitched and developed as a mass anti armour weapon, akin to cluster bombs without all the pesky regulations. The SAL was largely a backup solution to fulfil a need for long range precession strike on moving targets, so GPS was never really considered.
SPEAR 3 is more a replacement for paveways rather than Brimstone

Also Man-in-the-loop capability in an urban enviroment
Something i think they should add is the ability to decided what munitions you are actively guiding at any one time. Would allow us to ripple fire multiple brimstone at a time on different targets but not have them all go for one after another. Could also lead to the ability in the future to guide friendly ordinance in from air or ground vehicles.
What i would do to sit in my buccaneer in low earth orbit guiding in bombs in my desert storm camo.
Now there’s a bad idea if I’ve ever seen one.
Would allow DL on the PW4s as well
1st is just radar, 2nd is laser + MMW I think

Thereotically this is how it should work, but according to a pilot account and some sources from a bug report, the Eurofighter is apparently limited in angle-of-attack to around 25 degrees AoA. This is around the IRL’s F-16’s limited AoA. The Rafale though has a higher maximum AoA limit IRL.

I havent said the Rafale speed radar etc… should be nerfed, why are you lying?
I like the Rafale and thinks its a fantastic aircraft. Much like the EFT, it has many outstanding bug reports which would improve its performance. What I have said is that considering its already the best jet in-game, it should be the lowest jet in terms of bug report priorities from the devs.
Ive also said it shouldnt have its HMD and 2 extra MICA’s, but in exchange should have properly modelled MICA’s. And said properly modelling MICA’s now that its been giving the HMD and 2 extra missiles is asking for too much atm.
I had a debate over weather its IFF should be able to continuously show targets independent of the radar without emissions. And Ive bug reported its MAWS since it ahould not have full spherical coverage, and argued against passive missile time to target from DDM-NG because as far as available info goes, it does not have that capability.
Y’all act like im some kind of Rafale anti-christ simply because unlike the other ppl that like the Rafale, I dont pretend its the second coming of christ that works on pure magic, just a very capable and very good looking jet that is not currently in need of any additional buffs as it currently stands in WT, and that makes you guys angry for some reason.

Wouldn’t surprise me, the British government is known for its… Frugality. Why have the expensive jet be pushed to the limit when it could instead be limited to the flight envelope of a Cessna.
The same bloody faces are in both threads, man.
Anyone guilty of sabotaging their rival has probably seen my post. But fine, if it makes you feel better I’ll copy my post over there.
Either way, I’m urging you both stop trying to make your rival lose, because that means I lose twice as hard.
I havent commented in the Rafale thread once. I am only here trying to stop the French mains sabotaging the Typhoon in the Typhoon thread. Again.
We must bring out our finale line of defence.
How does it feel to have the best looking Rafale be Indian.

(May be social suicide in this thread but i dont like canards, and a rafale without is the sexist jet i could think of lol).
Dont really see anyone in the Rafale thread trying to target the Rafale with nerfs using misconstrued sources.
The Rafale thread seems to mistake reasonable balance consideration, concerns regarding realism, and discussions regarding the actual capabilities described in sources as an “attack” on the aircraft itself, which is just downright bizarre.

I think we should definetly get the Indian Rafale now, just so that it can be subjected to Britian Taxes :P
Watch it, your stepping in a thin line as it would cause every and all french mains to come at your throat for getting their jet nerfed into oblivion.
