actually made me remember when the UDES got spike missiles for an hour and matches were more like

sadly that’s for old APFSDS like 3BM22 since that’s what they had lol
thats at least sth i could get behind, since china deserves an indiginous top tier jet as well, and not hand me downs from other nations

"Brimstone is a “fire-and-forget” missile, which is loaded with targeting data by the weapon systems officer (WSO) prior to launch. It is programmable to adapt to particular mission requirements. This capability includes the ability to find targets within a certain area (such as those near friendly forces), and to self-destruct if it is unable to find a target within the designated area.
In addition to the semi-autonomous ability to decide its own targets, the Brimstone has the capacity to determine where on a target to best impact causing the most damage. The missile’s advanced sensor package includes its extremely high frequency millimetric wave radar, which allows the weapon to image the target and hence choose a target location. With as many as twenty-four missiles in the air, the missile’s targeting system also required an algorithm to ensure that missiles hit their targets in a staggered order, rather than all simultaneously.
Brimstone can be fired in a number of attack profiles; direct or indirect against single targets, a column of targets or against an array of targets. The latter utilises a salvo attack capability for multiple kills per engagement. Once launched, the platform is free to manoeuvre away from the target area or engage other targets.[22]"

Britain, Sweden and something A2G/Multirole but not too big of a step up to the F16 for China is pretty much all the aircraft we need to see this year I reckon. Just maybe some AAM upgrades here or there
Japan maybe something, but not really sure what that isnt a big jump up
When new dedicated ATGM Carrier for japan.
we only got Type 60 ATM and Typ 89 IFV with ATGMs right now.
And yes we also need a bedder SPAA but this should be easy to model and it wouldnt be op, just a extremly anoying gremling for its enemys XD

forgor how was this called but ik it had so much explosive mass in it that the anti tank warhead its a bit unnecesary but still used
tbh as how badly implemented are FAF missiles they need to rework them first before adding them and before adding brimstone they have to finish reworking PARS 3 LR since finishing this missile would mean brimstone its ready to work correctly
actually they even tested with 3bm42 and iirc ofl 120 f1
Here they also shows the result of a 3bm42 at 2:19, and keep in mind 3bm42 is actually a segmented round, which should do better against heavy era.

Middle range Multi-Purpose Missile System (Chū-MPMS) is it called but we also got this version
Type 96 Multi-Purpose Missile System but i think this one cant operate the missiles itself
Yeah, probably. And Id never expect Brimstone to ever be able to find its own target. Imagine a Harrier Gr9 spawning, firing off 18 Brimstones, getting up to 18 kills whilst its heading back to base to re-arm.
Never going to happen. Im guessing they’ll essnetially be longer range versions of the AGM-65, but they’ll automatically go for weakspots and maybe re-acquire the target if its breaks LOS temporarily
ooooh this makes it even more interesting

Muhaha. I really wouldnt put it past Gaijin to make out next “top tier” aircraft that we’ve been promised Just a Tonrado Gr4 with Brimstone. What they did last year
it can the passenger on the side should have an infrared image monitor in the launch vehicle to control the missile since its not fire and forget its remotely controlled
i feel they are gonna artificially nerf them by giving them less range and damage and maybe same problems as the pars
eh with more spike carriers at one point they gotta reword the targeting
what was actually tested with just the 3bm22 was an ukranian aps, and it also did extremely well against it

Actually, Not really needed. Same range as the PGMs and AGM-65 have (in theory) its mostly the more advanced guidance and the fact you can take a lot lot more. Tornado Gr4 can take 12. Gr9A, 18.
So wouldnt need any range handicap, besides would likely need manually targetting (if nothing else, Id not trust it having some form of IFF) so it would be capped by Tpods anyway. I doubt Gr4 would get anything better than TIALD.
As for damage. that would suck, but if it was modeled right, it should at least hit weakspots
FAF system likes to attack everything except weakspots in war thunder
