At least tell me that we can fire off all 9 Brimstones at a Pantsir at 20km and guide them all onto the target at once and that we arent limited to guiding 1 at a time and others will just fly off randomly

Also confirm Gen 2 for Litening III pod?

I don’t think an average warthunder player can comprehend the power of the brimstone. If it got it’s arh mode it will probs be most powerful anti tank weapon in game for a very long time. It’s literally like aim120 for tanks

Not at all. This is a specific mode Brimstone has and will have all of Brimstones performance in that mode.

Just another example of gimping US equipment and now US helis will always be trash with most countries rocking Fire and Forget.

And couldn’t these be implemented as traditional/basic FNF instead of LOAL?

That way, they would remain balanced while still bringing new capabilities… otherwise, these munitions are just pointless.

No F&F as said by Smin responding to Spanish Avenger

Ahaha if I can pop them with easy with JDAM I don’t think you’re going to endure my Paveway IVs or Brimstones.

do we go get more popcorn mr sminothy

Yes but the brimstone at the end of the day is a glorified hellfire to begin with. Without its F&F mode it is gameplay wise, a hellfire with longer range.

Yeah but they Fire and forget mode will ruin tank battles

Sadly not. Which is why we wanted to write in as much detail as possible why it’s not balanced at all in game in a mode like that.

Brimstone aside, the aircraft also has several other new weapon types like Paveway IV and EGBU-24B.

Didn’t someone post the same image yesterday with the intent of making it look like a real update?

I swear I saw the exact same thing posted, and now Reddit is believing that it is real.

Also ePaveways. How is this going to work:

selectable mode or just laser+IOG?

After 2 teamkills, kick from the game. No real consequences? I don’t get why are you adding to the game something, that has almost nothing to do with what it actually represents.
