I am just saying that by definition it is a buff
bugfix and buff arent mutually exclusive
@Fanta_3412
The Kh-38 did not get buffed. The Kh-38 was always that thermal resolution, just the one on the Su-30SM was incorrect.

Oh my, something was fixed? It must be a bias. No wonder why Brimstones haven’t been fixed yet, it’s obviously because Gaijin detests Britain.
Brimstones are not “broken”, unless you’re talking about something currently bugged with them.
Because they totally work properly ;)
You do realise how Brimstones are in real life, right mate? Because they’re not laser guided, unless Gaijin got access to Brimstones from another universe. In that case, good on them for figuring out multi-universal travel before they figured out how to balance the game.
Once again, this has been explained plenty of times and you can just go ahead and check the older Tonka (UK tornado) thread to get your answer. They are not bugged but rather intended to be the way they are at the moment.
But they shouldn’t be. I understand Gaijin absolutely abhors the British, but that doesn’t mean that Britain should constantly be screwed over. Solid shot nerfs, HESH rounds not working properly, Fox nerfs after Fox nerfs, a radarless SPAA at 8.0 (Falcon), Rapier being dreadful, and let’s not even mention every other nerf this game does that exclusively affects Britain.
Brimstones were never laser guided, therefore they should not be radar guided. I get that Gainin purposely does that, and the whole “but it would be too powerful” is absolute bollocks, especially when right after they say that, they give the Soviets Kh-29s that work properly. I don’t believe in Russian bias, but I can see that Gaijin favours America, Germany, and USSR and will bend over backwards to cater to their Big Three over properly implementing mechanics properly. Brimstones should be proper and fixed, not left to be broken just because of a clear bias against it.

Oh we know they are underperforming but we lack sufficient evidence to bug report.
A report just went through for seeker max lock angle pre launch.
The misisle should also be capable of high off boresight attacks as seen in video evidence, currently the maximum turn/g of the misisle is too low - almost like the data was copied from the agm114/maverick.
Also it should have a proximity fuse for aerial targets.
First of all… Brimmies are used by Italy, Germany AND UK… So this isn’t just a Britain related issue (I’m talking about in-game stuff, not irl). Secondly, this simply isn’t bias but rather not breaking the game. I’ll be linking you the reason down here but please DO NOT write anything in the rafale thread since it would lead to off-topic:
So please… It’s not about bias. I’ve played 300+ games with the Italian EFT and I can guarantee you it’s more than fine.

Those can be bug reports, I’m simply pointing out that Brimstones not being FnF is not a bug and shouldn’t be claimed to be one.
I still view it as absolute bollocks that they refuse to fix it and properly implement the Brimstones as how they work. They can give whatever excuse they want, their actions prove their appeals as null. I understand Germany and Italy also get Brimstones, but the Brimstones were with Britain first (Tornado Gr. 4), therefore it is British.
Being just fine is not enough, why should British equipment be held to a different standard of “just okay”, meanwhile you have Americans and Russians running around with equipment that gets buffed every update and a half? British stuff like the HESH round have been largely unfixed, meanwhile the Fox gets needed because Americans, Germans, and Russians seem it unfathomable to not run a heavy tank at 7.7 and cry they got bullied by a scout car.
There is a clear injustice towards “minor nations” and it absolutely sickens me that we are told, “it would be game breaking” when something finally benefits us, meanwhile they will bend over backwards to give the Big Three anything and everything. Or did you forget about the F-18, and how America got three, and Finland did not get HMD, ground ordnance, or even a gun sight (because historical accuracy) or some bollocks like that. How about how every other F-16 is worse than the American ones? I could keep going with how American, Germans, and Russians have seemingly artificial buffs to their equipment (or the minor nations have artificial nerfs), but if you are fine with “good enough” then we have nothing to talk about.
I do appreciate you for your links, and I hope you have a good one. As well, I am not going to leave anything under the other thread.

Brimstone 1 is the only Brimstone that doesn’t have SAL guidance and we don’t even have that version in game, we have Brimstone DMS.
I don’t know why you would make such a easily disproved statement but here;
There is only 1 version of Brimstone without SAL guidance and thats the first version.
You then have Brimstone DMS, DMSB+, 2, 3 and then the seeker was also used on SPEAR 3. All have independent SAL guidance as its own mode.

…Ok?
The December update was totally focused on the nations that needed a new generation of fighters, such as Britain, Italy, Germany and France (apologies if i forgot some of the other additions). Every nation does have some issues in-game and lacks certain things, sometimes this can be fixed and sometimes it can’t. Please try to be open minded and avoid tunnel visioning… It’s not like every Russian or American vehicle is over the top.
Eh mate, 4 KD with a plane to me feels “good enough” (909K - 226D). The performance is nuts, literally outruns anything and has every tool to perform well. Is it harder compared to something like a Rafale or Su-34 that can fire FnF missiles? Sure, it might. Is that a problem? Not really.
Have a good one :)

I would also like to point out that Italy has never purchased Brimstone.
I would like to also point out their mission role is purely air superiority and to my understanding, have never even equiped live air to ground ordnance.
If you have any pictures of an F2000A equiped with a live bomb, or air to ground missile, please share :)
There is a good thread about Italian Eurofighters.
Yeah my initial post I forgot to add it. XD so it is edited.
UwU
Since Gunjob already provided pics I won’t bother, but I can add that It seems like we will be buying Brimstone 3s with our T4s ;)
(the brimstone part roughly translates to: As with the new Spanish Halcon II order of last week, the new Italian EFTs will be equipped with advanced avionics and new armaments (such as Brimstone 3 and Meteor), new sensors and more connectivity.

Uhh, ever since the pantsir has been added the effectiveness of US CAS aircraft has significantly decreased. It was possible to launch mavericks >= 10km and maybe get a kill but now it’s hard to do so when there’s a competent pantsir player.
The only way to defeat pantsir is to do short range pop-up attacks or overwhelm it with multiple planes in the sky (which is not an exclusive benefit for the US)
Even before the F-16C or the pantsir was added, the Mig27 really gave the ADATS a hard time because at the time, it’s missile launcher was limited to 60ish degrees (to whatever cannon’s max elevation).
Now the gbu-39 strat is the only one to actively counteract the pantsir. But it doesn’t garentee a kill. Launching a maverick in conjunction greatly increases it however it can easily be countered with IRST.
The best tactic is to scatter gbu39s, hug the ground and do popup attacks perpendicular to the enemy. It does put you within IR missiles and gun range which is something to keep in mind
