for helis i see it, they ignore the invincibility bubble
Still need to be Brimstone 3s with Prox fuse though for that.
Pretty much no SPAA can intercept the sheer amount of munitions that brimstone carriers like the euro can shoot off at once, the airframes using these missiles (not counting tornado) are insanely agile so they can just shoot a bunch off while peeking from behind a mountain and slam the pantsir or whatever in the face before they have time to react or shoot you down
Even if they can react, ideally you’d be pulling to the side or up as well which makes it impossible for you to be shot down
It’s not easy to do effectively
but it does work insanely well

not really, most helis or even pilots aren’t able to avoid brimstones at all

The higher range, means you need to worry less about how far away you are firing at them. (with current TPod limits, you would never be out of range to fire a Brimstone 2/3)
The faster time to target when fired from closer ranges means far less warning to do something about them when LWR triggers from the Tpod
The prox fuse totally elimates the ghosting issues that can occur with any non-prox fuse missile (Ive seen many clips of Brimstone ghosting straight through a heli) and means that even if they pull a defensive manevuer that might be enough to defeat a Brimstone 1, the prox fuse would take out the target still.
If nothing else, the AESA Typhoons still having the most basic and weakest version of the Brimstone is just stupid and now with NE too, its time for proper Brimstones
That really means nothing since they then get more time to react to your missile
They already barely get time to react effectively
Not really, Euros are doing just fine rn besides the terrible ergonomics
Don’t be like DirectSupport
You don’t always need the absolute best of the best for your favourite plane
Vs helis, not much, but way more impactful if you move outside of GRB and into NE.
You could actually fire and destroy something like an ITO without entering the death sphere.
So they now get 1/3 of that time.
But pretty poor in NE, very little you can do on a cloudy map and basically nothing you can do vs a moving SAM.
Everyone else gets waaaaaay better weapons, I see no reason why the Typhoons should be constantly and so significantly artificially nerfed. Quite frankly, I dont even think the Tornado GR4 should have been added with Brimstone 1s , the moment they made the decision to not add MMW, they should have added SAL Brimstone 2s instead.
Nor should we just tolerate getting the absolute bare minimum every single update, or for most of this year. Nothing at all (still basic cockpit issues havent been fixed for example)
I see 0 reason why:
- SAL Brimstone 2/3s
- GNSS or GNSS+SAL Spear-3s
- Litening V Tpod
Weren’t added with the AESA Typhoons 10 months ago, let alone maybe also the M-Scan Typhoons a year before that.
Can also add other weapons like APKWS, Marte-ER, ALARM, Increased AGM-88 count and Storm Shadow to that list these days now too
Not really unique to the euro
I don’t see why you would need to buff one plane for the sake of a gamemode that’s still early in its implementation
You should be able to tolerate not getting the absolute best for your plane.
Because it is not needed
It could get =/= it should get
Perhaps not, but most can at least enter the death sphere supersonic, fire an FnF and then go defensive.
Your only choice really is to deploy the airbrake, go subsonic and then fire a glide bomb at them.
Then remove KH-31, KH-58 is good enough. Remove KH-38MT, KH-38ML is good enough, Remove GBU-53s, AGM-65s are good enough.
Again. I see 0 justifications for artificially nerfing one aircraft and giving everyone else basically the best weapons they could get.
SAL Brismtone 2s would still be waaaaay weaker than basically what everyone else has because they can spam and go defensive, you have to sit there and guide the missiels in on SAL.
Tbh, We are looooooong overdue MMW. Hopefully its added this year. Kinda fed up of having SAL Only weapons and 0 FnF AGMs.
Iirc BVV_d said this during first preview, but he didn’t mention Enlisted (at least as far as I remember).
I still don’t get an access btw…
Yeah, and some people only make it worse constantly begging for stuff like MBTs demonstrators. For air apart from 5th gens there are still better weapons to come (IRIS-T, AIM-9X, METEORs and etc).
Naval part of the game could bring something new, like missiles and antisubmarine warfare, but naval is in general not that popular unfortunately.
They can still bring more nations like Poland with subtrees for example, selling CBT packs for it.
Infantry can probably give them a lot of outcome especially considering the amount of national TTs we have.
They have to find a way to get more money from it to be interested, like those triple packs for example.
i think it was implied by what the CMs said on forum at the time. would be odd to torpedo a game they publish tbh.
Kh-31 is probably worse than Kh-58 actually since SAMs turn their radars off extra early just for those
We really don’t need this.
I really do not see anything healthy coming from this
i hate that change. The omniscient SAMS were already unfair enough without being able to sense the disturbance in the force caused by an anti-rad missile being fired in the general direction that isnt coming up on their radars
and it is still the best ARM in the game by a wide margin.
The only reason why the SAMs do that is Gaijin trying to balance it vs the others.
Typhoon should get:
- 18x SAL Brimstone 2s but tbh could be Brimstone 3s at this point
- 18x GNSS or GNSS+SAL Spear-3s
- 6x Marte-ER
- 2x Storm Shadow
- 6x ALARM
- 6x AGM-88C
- 6x7 APKWS
Its time they stop artificially nerfing planes just because of Tanks in an entirely different gamemode.
NE has added a reason to actually equip A2G loadouts in Air modes. So its time that aircraft get full strength and just balance GRB a different way than artificially nerfing loadouts however gaijin sees fit.
It would be like saying that better SAM missiles couldnt be added to GRB because they would be too strong in NE. Its just dumb at this point
There is 0 argument for why Mode 3 Brimstone 3s couldnt be added in NE.
But even in GRB, I think Mode 2 Brimstone 2s would still be weaker than KH-38MTs or a fully laden F-15E spamming GBU-53s.
What?
No, you can’t just cuck over one gamemode because you want a power fantasy
Sorry, that’s not how this game works or should work.

Only because Gaijin is too lazy to add a different way of balancing aircraft in GRB.
What if taking 6x mode 2 Brimstone 2s (which would still be weaker than any IR AGM in-game) cost the same as 6x KH-38MT, with taking more than 6 costing such a stupid amount that it was basically worthless to ever do?
With Mode 3 Brimstones basically costing more than a nuke.
So lets stop cucking over multiple gamemodes (AAB, ARB, ASB and especially NE) for the sake of another gamemode (GRB) just because gaijin is too lazy to do anything other than artificially limit loadouts for every single gamemode.
idk man, I really don’t see how the euro is as cucked over as you say.
I’m getting DirectSupport vibes
Final thing, considering how bad gaijin is at balancing already, do you really think they can do that uniquely for separate gamemodes?
I don’t
woa now morvran doesnt at least skew real sources for fake buffs. Even if he is the king of brit main complainers. Still dont get his aversion to the hawks last update
