Gaijin made 2 mistakes with their explanation
They didnt give it an alternate FnF mode like TV/IR which is already in the game and is “balanced”
They specifically said that SPAA being unable to fight back was a deciding factor… SPAA CANT FIGHT THE KH38
If you’re not up-tiered. If you are, you have a short window to actually find SPAA and target with a Kh-29TD, you only get two in the Su-25T/39, and you have no useful targeting pod, so you have to find it manually.
Let’s not pretend USSR CAS is easy mode like the US now. (and yes, Pantsir is very good, and balances this difference).
Also any fire and forget weapons have this risk of changing targets after they have been fired
The SM3 is brainless
no, you shouldn’t turn the laser off. the iog has a drift parameter which will make it miss.
you should keep the laser on the target, but it should be easy with a all-aspect pod.
iog here is just something let you fire it out the seeker’s range
Just wait until the Su-34 with 6x Kh-38’s is added 🫠
We’re all insert profanity here
been screamed at by germany mains since the devblog, am sorry if I sound a bit mad. I know the german Tornado has other weaponry other than simple GBUs but those are either anti-radiation or just sth else that probably wont come this patch.
Its just that germany doesnt have many options for proper good top tier CAS outside of the Typhoon. And we will have to wait a couple more patches for that.
Hoping they wont have any drift in compensation for no mmV
Around the same as hellfires? And launched from 12+ km away? That would take the entire match to arrive. Oh hell no, that’s even worse lmaoo. Calling it, brimstones are DOA
Russian cas is easy mode…because you dont face the Pantsir
It already takes what 50 seconds for hellfires to travel 8km on a heli
How long you think itll take a brimstone to travel 20?
Maybe gaijin should add more spaa instead of adding more cas. I don’t understand why people are asking for modern cas systems when they know stuff like this will happen.
It will never be balanced or enjoyable.
I think it won’t have any compensation in drift.
anyway, it won’t hurt with laser on, why turn it off
USSR CAS is easy mode, two 25sm3’s is enough to do DEAD to any team, pantsir or not
One thing though to remember. Hellfire is usually fired with 0 velocity from a hovering heli. Brimstones will be launched at mach 1 ish and probably also with alt behind, with a better motor than Hellfire.
Im guessing around 1 minute impact time from max range?
So you want to research a 400k RP plane just to get moderately better Paveways?? Alright you do you
Nah it lets you fire, defend for a bit if you need to, use cover, etc. and then you can recommit and lase the target in the last 10-ish seconds, even with drift the laser should still be in the seeker’s FoV so it can re-engage
