Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

I made a topic and poll suggesting exactly this. Come by, vote, and comment!

LOAL-capable munitions should be modelled as basic FNF instead of SAL

poll Gaijin has recently stated that LOAL (Lock-On After Launch)-capable weapons (Brimstone, AGM-114L…) will have this feature removed and implemented as SAL (Semi-Active Laser homing) munitions instead. While I agree that LOAL is too strong (literally click at random and get free kills) and unfit for the game (could also lead to serious accidental team-killing issues), I believe limiting them to SAL is not the correct course of action. Instead, I believe these should be implemented as basic F…

being “nefed”

“sate” and “nefed”

Are you fighting for your life Mr. Smin?

Cant wait for the Su34 with 6x Kh38s to be 0 problems. I mean who wants the game to have an even amount of power amongst nations

[摳1送DM53]

pantisr is balanced , SM3 is balanced HAHA

[TD_SEB]

now that we are getting brimstones, is the GR.7 getting them too?

[Morvran]

Any possibility of SAL in GRB but mmV in AAB/ARB/ASB in the future?

No need to limit them within those gamemodes. heck in their current state they are weaker than JDAMs

[mineLo]

doesnt only the Gr9 get them?

Seems like Gaijin is more than happy to make up having worse MBTs by adding better CAS to said nation.

The Swedes don’t bother you? Or the Italians? The best Leopards with excellent CAS

[摳1送DM53]

GR9 not GR7

[TD_SEB]

they were tested on a GR.7 the same one that was tested with the gun pods. if you look at the tails thats the GR.7 test platform

[Mercenario54]

like 99% that it comes today

[Smugspite]

ill vote, doubt gaijin will listen, and the one time I thought the UK would be the best at something gaijin has to make sure that doesnt happen

[TD_SEB]

thats a GR.7 look at the tail

No just autocorrect sabotage))

Is GR4 getting BOL?

[NCC105]

it’s missile will loss it’s mobility long before this, it’s like old time, MIG-27 avoid VT-1 in 8km, 4km in it’s range, I think you can avoid it even with a fat plane. Still, one problem is how to know it’s coming.
15+km is just a conservative evaluation based on KH-38ML, it can be fired in 20km max.

@NCC105

About the Speed:
I’m not sure about Brimstone’s speed so I tested Hellfire, 8km needs 35s to reach frrom a hovering heli, means 228m/s in average. KH-38 needs 25s to reach 12km from a SU-25, means 480m/s in average. If a plane can give it 300m/s start speed, it should be able to get a 400+m/s speed in average, I think faster enough.

[zZoKo]

spikes and aj168 dont use lock after launch ingame either, dont know why people are so upset about brimstones being implemented the same way

[Alchemists_Art]

Would you mind giving me a brief breakdown of what specific mechanics makes a thermal imager “generation 3” in the real world, as I’m assuming you’re inferring it’s a “gen 3” irl?

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

I am hopeful they will listen!

After all, this worked with some stuff, like stock APFSDS for Rank VIII MBTs, etc.

I think this is a completely reasonable suggestion they may not have thought of; if we present our case clearly, I am sure they will take a look and may reconsider their stance.

Just letting everyone know that we’ve added the Tornado’s video to the blog, as when we initially published it, we didn’t have the video yet.
