With all these new SPAAs its not really smart to spawn air, except for some edge cases (like rocky pit maps with lotsa cover or you’ve got super ordnance like KH-38).
The best lineup uses planes which don’t bump your Ground RB BR. EF2000, Tiger helis etc all bump the GRB BR ceiling, means you get no down tiers whatsoever.
You either include just jets/helis which are max GRB BR of 12.0 (Nado or F-4F ICE) or don’t use air at all. Believe me, its far more efficient. Anti air systems are really strong and air assets cost incredible amounts of spawn points. Its usually not worth it for mediocore jets/ordnance. Especially if you have jets like EF sitting at 13.0 GRB BR ceiling (lol, insane).
When you play a 12.0 GRB lineups, you dodge most of the KH-38 slingers and high end enemy MBTs as well. You get tons of down tiers with easier opposition to fight.
Swiss F-18 Hornet is at 12.7 GRB BR btw, with better ordnance than EF (Mavs are F&F). This also has to be said. Don’t bring the EF into GRB?
The point is you have 16 missiles which may equate to 8 - 10 hits.
They are FnF, they can be launched from behind cover and launchers can be spread around.
Compare that with other nations SAMS…The Norwegian system 4 missiles
TADS…only the 9X is reliable.
While you want a realistic 98+% interception rate the game does not.
Typhoons on the German team do well, I have died to far more Brimstones playing as a British player now than I have before. Especially late game and when you are teamed up with Russia who dont have a brand new FnF SAM
Not to say Typhoon is perfect using Brimstone effectively is far more skill dependant than say a AGM-65 or Kh-38
Depends which planes against which AAs. If you are talking about the SLM and maybe CLAWS sure, but if you die to a Spyder, EldE or Tan Sam in an EFT that is a pilot issue.
Probably because it’s an easy kill for AA flight performance wise.
integrated would also be seeing the same things. not only ‘being able to control literally every type of air defense from a single point’…
that does not really exist yet
Germany has yet to order IBCS, IRIS-T SLM is not integrated with IBCS yet either and Skyranger is still in development
Not sure what are you sayng that radar information sharing does not exist ? Or central target allocation does not exist for the modern air defense assets ?
If they are still just a TV guided missile with 6km of TRACK lock range without IOG I doubt they deserve to be put in the same sentence with Kh-38 and Hammers.
