Yeah, id be genuinely happy with the Tornado GR4. (Though only if it was actually finished)
Balanced or not, it is just majestic to look at.
Only potentially unbalanced thing about it is the Brimstones. Cap the amount you can carry or bring it without them and its a solid 11.7-12.0 CAS.
Just some of the airframe upgrades would provide some QOL upgrades like FLIR
Thinking of grinding U.K just for Brimstone XDβ¦plus i always found the Challys interesting
God I hope we do actually get them some day. They would be so much fun.
Spoiler
Not too mention getting them on the Chally 2 maybe some day :D
as for the Chally 2s. Yeah they are quite unique and can be capable. The changes over the last few months have helped a lot, but its got a long way to go.

wasnt that one mock up carton?
Brimstones are immune to smokes and thats the problem, their radar warhead. However I felt limiting it to laser guidance could do.
Well then whats the point at all then? That is the bigger problem.

Its a prototype, but they are actually trialling it, or at least getting a feeling for it
I felt the CR2SF can be an event vehicle, but a very far one in the new system, perhaps november or even later next year.
Yeah, I reckon basically being a AGM-65D equivalent, but with better performance at longer ranges. But carrying up to 18 of even those would be kinda OP.
Oh yeah, probably next year I reckon
Su-25T has 16 vikhrs and its hardly OP. Well thats another story since its airframe is horrible where Russia has a few better choices. But that would make US mains start lobbying for AGM-114Ls compromising it by making it not immune to smoke unrealistically, and everyone would be start throwing AGM-114Ls.

Though unlike Brimstone, the Vikhrs arent F&F. You could theoretically, fire off 18 Brimstones at 18 different targets at 20kms and turn away. (and thats with them in a nerfed state)
brimstone are fire and forget milimeter wave missles lol

yea but itβs a sub sonic platform and Vikhirs are kinda meh
Brimstones are like usable and the plane is fast too
Brimstones would probably still be kinda OP on the Harrier Gr9A.
Its the wrong way to use these missiles, ka52s would do much better
exactly, ainβt puttint spikes on a plane either
itβs just not a good choice of missile and a worse choice of airframe
I mean the best way is to apply caps. Also since no planes currently carry over 10 F-F air to ground, additional SP or other means of balanced can still be achieved. Alternatively just make each carry no more than 3 pods=9 missiles.
Arent only the duel seeker f&f, they could just add the earlier versions?
Fire and forget missiles havent been the best missiles in ground anyways
