Kh38. hammer - brimstone

I will say, this was a recent statement they had made.

Like I said, its catching up to them now. Double standards throughout the years.

The community has been tired of this double standards nonsense and its finally boiling over. They’ll continue to ignore any feedback that isn’t positive.

Yep, but I dont expect anything to change. They will keep being selective

You could make an entire thread with at least 10 examples of the hypocrisy throughout the years, and they’ll just not acknowledge it.

I’m surprised that someone hasn’t done that yet. A compilation of the double standards and hypocrisy. Would be a fun thing to read

Probably would get closed. Like the KH-38MT not existing thread did, but they close all new threads saying to use the existing one… which is clsoed

Which is why they never link the thread with the closed message. Like you’re the mod, you link me to the correct thread you want me to take this discussion to

Anyways, getting back on topic.

Regarding the AH64D being 11.7, most of the time these vehicles are paired with 12.0/13.0 vehicles.

I wish it was 11.7. the AH1 is 12.0 with no IRCM and SAL Hellfires. I wish I could make use of it, but its just unplayable

Oops, I was wrong about the BRs. I don’t play the Apaches much because they’re just cannon fodder.

Spice performs competently.

At this point, just add the MMW and LOAL stuff to brimstone so it’s at least useful if they’re going to insist on it having sod all range. Plus, that testing would enable some fun stuffs.

How many can the F-16I run?

Can’t remember. Mate who was screwing around with them isn’t to hand to terrorise.

Fair enough. I was going to check myself but forgot :D

But depending on how many on that front also influences a lot too

Just want brimstones to be useful for convoys 😿

I just want Brimstone 1s to be useful for that :D

Aye, had to short hand it as it looked like DCS loading was about to take my computer with it.

But would be nice if they’d at least screw around with LOAL and such even if only limited to air in the beginning.

Yeah, thats all I really want. With how bad top tier ground has gotten, It would be annoying, but not the end of the world. But them basically being unusable in ARB/ASB is just infuriating

And? One vehicle is an actual plane the other is a helo, they are not remotely comparable.

Irrelevant given the performance gap at play of the actual host vehicle.

Ok still not relevant, the kinematic performance of the host aircraft is the deciding factor here.

The AH-64D and AH.1 are 12.0 you are thinking of the DJP in the Japanese tree.

They are directly comparable, as we know how missile launches benefit from the speed of forward flight. Note vikhr from a rotary wing aircraft, vs from a frogfoot, and the increase in range.

Except we can see the difference in performance regarding forward flight vectors, and the difference in range is significantly less favourable to the brimstone than one would hope given the speed difference in platforms.

Right. Exactly. The Jet should be better than the Heli. Its not.

How?

Tornado Gr4 would be OP with Brimstone 2s at 12.3 whilst you have F-16s and Gripen As at 12.0?

Typhoon would be OP with SAL brimstone 2s at 13.0 whilst you have Rafale with AASMs at 13.0?

Im not sure the relevancy here. You either artificially nerf the Typhoon with no FnF or you artifically nerf it with reduced range weapons. You dont do both, and you dont do it exclusively to 1 aircraft and claim " balance "

Arguably in the case of the Gripen. We don’t got any rubbish for hitting ground beans that are worth a damn when noting what has to be given up 😿

Id still take 4x RB75Ts on a Gripen at 12.0 over the Tornado Gr4 with 3x PGM-2000s at 12.3 any day of the week
