There was no chance of mmV

Would be nice just for air RB

Also what does this mean?

Please read the detailed explanation. It’s very clear why that mode wouldn’t be viable in game.

Brimstone :(

It is still somewhat false advertising to say “has dual mode brimstones btw the 2nd mode isnt actually being modeled”

So the brimstones are nerfed on launch

Weapons such as Brimstone, AGM-114L cause a particular problem and similarly to other ATGMs that have lock after launch modes like the Spike and AJ.168 will not have such abilities in the game.

Fire-and-forget AGM-114L denied, if I understood correctly?

I was looking forward to useful Hellfires :(

These weapon types present several issues all at once, they require no challenge to use effectively and have no counterplay options for those being attacked. The attacker can operate outside of the range of any anti-air system in the game, Brimstone is also immune to smoke, so this won’t help either.

Don’t we already have airborne fire-and-forget missiles (PARS 3 LR, Spike ER) and smoke-resistant ones (9K127 Vikhr) already? Why are these features an issue now?

They dont have equivalents

Would be cool if a 3rd party, say a drone or a light tank operator, could paint targets with lasers for CAS.

So what are these fabled brimestones exactly? What can I expect from them?

Seems fishy, they could just make it work like the kh38mt and firing those already has no counter especially when the player knows to stay beyond 12km. Why cant it not be applied to the brimstones?
