True, i dont see why they dont just add hellfire Ls but just nerf the seeker.

Its a better hellfire. Its crap but its better than nothing, the real reaspn why the chinese need it is cause otherwise they have shit cas. But even than that is easily fixed by j10b, j16 et cetera
It’s like a side grade to hellfire, advantage being 200 mm extra pen for damage, and better chance at hitting moving target, it is slower by like 100m/s but the more stable trajectory and longer sustainer keeps it going. Only issue is 8 carried + 8 TY90 vs a loadout of sth like 16+4. Also the rwr and lack of HMS sucks.
Newer CAS won’t exactly solve China’s issue, since they basically don’t have anything viable in game other than C704KG or Chinese Spice, otherwise it’s all like 100km IIR stuff.
Both of those are viable choices for modern cas, certainly better than the us right now as were stuck with mavs and shitass hellfires until gajin wakes up and realizes that whilst yes slam is faster and much longer range than maverick its still a su sonic easy to intrecept missile which is ultimately likely worse than kh38mt.
Cruise missiles for the Viper?
even if it gets two, it would somewhat make US helicopters actually worth using in top tier now.
They can still be intercepted, like the AGM-114L, JAGM-MR, JAGM-F so it wouldn’t be op
What makes them good is the amount of a single Helicopter can carry (i don’t know exactly how many JAGM,AGM-114L) but it’s a good idea to finally retire the old and slow Hellfires.
Same 16 missiles. They’re pretty much the size of the hellfire and roughly the same speed. Better seekers and range tho
and this is where better SP costs could come in and make it more balanced.
Want 8x FnF Hellfire/JAGMs? It costs X amount
Want 16? It now costs Y amount
Same could easily be applied to Brimstones as well. 90% of the argument I see people use is “but you’d have 18” well, why? Its only a game limitation that means the cost of 3 is the same as taking 18. Same applies to Hellfires too.
Even in the past, was annoyed that 2x rocket pods + 8x Hellfire cost the same as 16x Hellfires, why ever take the rocket pods if you could afford to spawn with hellfires
