Not at all. We have various weapons systems locked to a single mode in game. Dual mode Brimstone is the name of the weapon itself. As there are non dual modes too.

Seems i wont ever be researching another apache then lol. Spikes and pars ingame alrdy but the 114L is just too much i guess
and probably just as useless
the main draw of a Brimstone is it can be fired and forgotten, and it looks like it’ll just be as useless as anything else that needs you to sit in LOS till impact

The russian missile, Brimstone, and possibly AASM on mirage
Seems like the “rain from above” name might actually make sense now
This was during testing only. The pod required for SAL mode takes up one spot and the wing stations were never used in service. The aircraft has it’s standard operational load of 9 + targeting pod.

Brimstones. So are they laser guided like Hellfires, meaning we can only fire one at a time. Or are they FnF like AGM-65?

Im no British fan or main, but it a damn shame Brimstones dont get it full functionality. Maybe some day, then we get medium-range AA or Gaijin rethinking their rejection (or figure out how to make) multi-vehicle so multi vehicle SAMs could be added to be a proper counter
(But also lets be honest, this “Some day” is the same then MiG-29 will get it rightful R-73 and Yak-141 will get not only it R-77, but also anti-ship missiles)

will it be able to ripple fire?
appears like they require laser painting till impact
so it wont be fire and forget? damn welp they are gonna be kinda meh then, if you are forced to guide them in like hellfires and if their range is the same as pantsirs or less those AGMs are just gonna be dead weight

Laser 65 are not F&F, so one brim at a time.
There won’t be a new German Tornado?
Not allowed?
Not worthy?

Well… that renders them nearly worhtless. at least in the capacity I was hoping to use them for, which was wiping out convoys in Sim.

Smin, maybe you can answer this but with the UK getting again CAS where is the Tornado IDS ASSTA3.1???

When will ground forces get counters to CAS units which can stay outside SAM range?
Something like AMRAAM based SAM.
“We wont model these correctly because it can operate outside of AA range”
So can the SM3?

So glad that weapons like the kh38ml, Vickrs, 114L and brimstone’s are implented in a way it doesn’t break the game!

Please read the blog in full. There is a detailed explanation from the Devs why the fire and forget modes would not be balance.
