valid, but once other countries get proper aa anyone will be able to do that. Additionally can pantsir intercept all these:
Additionally, those are all IR+GNSS with wings and have a crazy longs range. Once you get up to good speed and drop at good altitude, they can be almost as fast as mavericks anyway, plus they are smaller and so much more. Lastly with the crazy amount of stuff flying around in GRB, pantsir players may not even get them on the radar or just discard it as a chaff.
Eh not really, just different doctrine and stragety. And additionally it isnt lock and launch 20, I mean with just a full payload of SDB II, you could practically wipe out the entire enemy team. Keep in mind russia only gets access to 6x X-38 at a time
It was given that seeker to comply with RoE in IIRC Afghanistan, RoE requirements change so no its not common sense to assume all brimstones are DS compatible.
So why would they remove that capability for later similar circumstances? Such as Op Shader which kicked off 2 years before the Brimstone 2 even entered service
People are either being ignorant or dishonest when when bring up “similar systems” to the Kh-38 because there aren’t any. It’s a completely different breed
If they ever used these systems or even saw them in action, they would noticed the day and night differences as you’ve pointed out.
Even with the agm-130, it’s extremely slow and it doesn’t have IOG.
Brimstone 2 had a new modular airframe to facilitate upgrades and maintenance, and the enhanced dual mode (radio frequency (RF)/semi-active laser (SAL) seeker from Dual Mode Brimstone. - Source
So Brimstone 2 is 100% SAL+MMW, so Tornado Gr4 and Typhoons could retain SAL-Only but get at least a decent AGM until a better method of mitigation can be added to allow for FnF Brimstones without issue
Mitigation isint the entire issue with ARH A2G munitions, gaijin likely wants to rebuild their radar codebase to account for more natural interference etc like they said in the original post, which is also about when I expect jamming to come to the game aswell.
Also making it so that FnF munitions hit center mass like they should rather than hitting a randomized impact point will dramatically help western nations as a whole.
Brimstones also have an ability to figure out where the weakest/best place to impact was on a vehicle which would also increase lethality, iirc Brimstone 2+ also had a proxy fuse for air targets. Also the Brimstones had pretty insane maneuverability and a wider cone for launching.
