GNSS Brimstones for EF2K

I think that the eurofighter 2000 should get newer brimstones, instead of just laser guided.

the reason i say this is because as a SIMAB player, the eurofighter has a very lackluster ability for ground strike considering the current state of the brimstones, other planes have things like the ASM, the GBU-39SDB, and the GROM, all either extremely long range, complete fire and forget spam or both.

I feel like the Ef2K should have the option for SAL brimstones, and GNSS brimstones. IR guided would be a good idea too, but considering the eurofighter can take eighteen brimstones, that would be OP.

if it got GNSS brimstones, that means in sim air battles, it has a good fighting chance against things such as the F-15E and rafale for their long range fire and forget weaponry. they wouldn’t be used a lot in ground RB, due to being GNSS, but some people would still use them too, i feel like they would be a good addition but not extremely overpowered.

Is there a GNSS brimstone?

IIRC it should be this one, @Morvran found it.

Both spear-3 and the recently announced Spear-Glide have GPS

Unfortunately the Brimstone 1-3 dont have GNSS, they have IOG (which is underperforming signficantly, the drift should only be a few metres and not the 10s of metres it is currently)

Now, MMW should be modeled, it should have been months ago, or at the very least a reasonable placeholder. and all the issues gaijin is using to deny it are just fear mongering nonsense. If they continue to refuse that, then we have other options

  1. Replace the ahistorical Brimstone 1s (Typhoon never used them) with more historically accurate Brimstone 2s. Increasing the range by 200%. Even limited to SAL, these would significantly reduce the loiter time of the Typhoon (Brimstones 3s supposedly also improve the INS even further, so maybe 0 drift IOG?)

  2. Spear-3. These are Brimstone with a turbo-jet and wings. MMW+GPS+SAL in their full form but could be added either as GPS or GPS+SAL to give us something akin to GBU-39s

  3. Spear-Glide, newly annoucned, and unsure if even a prototype has been built yet (though indications that at least parts have been built and tested) , though Gaijin discretion might be useful here. IR/EO+GPS+SAL. Spears without a motor, designed to be cheap and spammable. Perfect Spice-250 equivalent

  4. Spice-250s have been planned for the EFT for about 7 years now, with mixed evidence its been done

  5. Storm Shadow/Taurus. All out cruise missiles. Better than nothing

  6. A load of missing GBU types such as EGBU-24 and ePaveway IIs. As well as Paveway IVs underperforming notably at the moment

just give brimstone FnF (Lazer designate a target and let MMW guide it to the target) and it will be fine.

KH38 will still be a better singular missile however you can carry a lot more on a tornado or typhoon

Please Gaijin.
