I’m not calling for a limit to brimstones only. Somethings will require artificial limitations in the future otherwise they will be unfair.
For example the Kh38 is already unfair for the ground targets.
Yes I know its explosive mass is similar to a hellfire but you should keep in mind that even the Mavericks sometimes fail to destroy a tank. So using multiple missiles to destroy a single tank isn’t limited to hellfires or similar small missiles.
Germany can get IRIS-T SL and Mała Narew does not get self designation

It does not have a onboard radar, the longer mast is the DL antenna. The shorter mast is the self designation sights, so use would be like the Type-81 in the Japanese tree, where you’re searching for targets yourself as far as I’m aware.
people freak about because it has a ton of missiles and then forget these things are the size of hellfires, and are auto guided so will most likely hit centre mass, meaning it could easily take up to 3 to kill ( look at the spikes on the Israeli helicopters taking 3 to 4 missiles to kill a single tank)

Br is up for Gaijin to decide, but they will be between 12 and 14 with current standards
Then what’s the use of that mast? isn’t that a radar on top?
Didn’t think that had a massive range? Happy to be wrong though.
Shame, I couldn’t see anything either way myself.
yet mavricks more often then not do one shot, hellfires unless you aim yourself at weak spots almost always require a second if you let them just hit centre mass so limiting brimstones to the same as mavrics is beyond retarded

Thats a DL mast, its the same one as on the Sky sabre. It is used to communicate with command/radar vehicle and the missile.

DL antenna, CAMM is guided via datalink most of the way, then ARH for terminal iirc

Hopefully they’ll model some of the intellegence of the Brimstone to hit a weakspot. The difference is the F&F nature. Whilst yes you have 16x Hellfire, you have to guide one at a time and they wont add the F&F version yet. Brimstones would have double the range, on a platform that in theory should be harder to hit and even if they ended basically being AGM-65s in terms of usage and F&F performance. That is a lot of fire you can put down range.
That being said. Me want Tornado Gr4 for busting SB convoys
from what I read it stated it had its own radar on the launch vic
F&F missiles definitely need rework. They are so bad right now. Probably the chinese QN506 atgm is the worst F&F missile in game
There exist SLS, SLM and SLX. SLS is 12 SLM is 40 and SLX is 80
Yeah, I can see a bit of a guidance overhaul before something like Brimstone. You’ve also got things like guided weapons vs destroyers in SB, you can see just how basic the locking on is.
and I get that but being told that our planes should be limited its just down right dumb when I have seen barely anyone saying they should heavily limit the cas of current aircraft, most people just want better sams or completely different game modes
Yeah, true. but if the choice was take Tornado Gr4 with 12 Brimstones this year or 18 next year. Id rather take the 12 sooner rather than later and then move up to 18 next year. Also whilst there is a photo of 18 Brimstones on the Tornado. Usually the “default” was drop tanks and 12 on the belly. So I could accept the decision to limit to 12 on the belly, so long as it was communicated as such
No, radar. Just sights. Why stick a poor radar when A) Camm can be guided by any radar in the battle space via DL. and B) you’re spending alot of money on a fancy SAAB radar units.
Depending on what sight it uses, as it can be one of the 2, it can have MTI in the tracker.
yeah I get the tornado but the harrier has multiple photos of it with 18 brimstones and gaijin seems to be perfectly fine with adding rare loadouts such as the PGMs on the tornado since I dont think that was to common right?
