Real question

If the Me-210’s are coming this patch. Is the existing Me-410’s are getting a rework, possibly new secondary armaments and/or custom loadouts?

Israel still not having a top tier spaa:
And no, just because gaijin put the SPYDER at 12.7 it doesn’t mean that it should be there

considering how absolutely broken the Gripen E was on launch with 16 SPICE-250s yeah no way they add 28 to the F-15E

completely new weapon, different company, it is just the next generation of small diameter bombs

they should add a way for the different seeker modes (except MMW) to be controlled in flight

Yup. Though it does mean that we dont need to worry about 18x FnF Brimstones on the Tornado/Typhoon

Could thay add a variant of brimstone only for gnss with a glide kit ?

Kinda want GBU39 equivalent.

SPEAR-3 is pretty much that but has a rocket motor, they did also give the AESA Typhoons SPICE-250 which defiantly helps

Yes but you cant use gnss for the munitions with ir seeker.

Also they can not add booster just like they did to the grom

thats just something they will have to fix eventually

there is a glide only SPEAR but it hasnt been made or dropped yet

As Smugspite said, Spear-3 is closest equivalent.

MMW+GNSS+SAL

So, until MMW is added it would be GNSS or GNSS+SAL. The small warhead though would make GNSS very very niche as its just a Brimstone warhead.

There is Spear-Glide which is basically Spice-250 (IIR/EO+GNSS+SAL) but the same small warhead as a Brimstone.

At the moment though, Im just hoping we get SAL Brimstone 2s

the difference between grom and SPEAR is that the SPEAR has the same warhead size as the SPICE and GBU39s so cant AFK bases (at least not easily)

Smaller, its the same Tandem charge as Brimstone. But yeah, wouldnt be an issue for long range base killing

GBU-39 16.3kg
Spice-250 20.8kg
Brimstone 6.7kg

Can be good for ai target in arb or launch multiple one in gnss just like f15e and gripen does in the spawn. Grb

is it damn so it would be even worse for trying to kill SPAA then the GBU39 lol (not to mention the new Pantsir SM that will probably make spamming GBU39s not that effective anymore)

With GNSS ensure a direct hit against a static target, probably okay… but certainly would make a good spammable decoy, also being powered, the Spear-3 shouldnt have the Mach limit that curtails GBU-39 and Spice-250 currently

is that one just better Pantsir across the board?

the GBU-39 shouldnt have a mach limit either

Two missiles in game already have GNSS as part of their guidance package (9X and IRIS-T SL), so far only visible change caused by GPS addition is reduced inertial guidance drift.

Will Gaijin expand on that? Remains to be seen.

better radars, and 48 missiles that travel 400ms faster and have 20km more range, only thing worse is their HE mass
