Brimstones on UK one if they get AH-64E?
the AH-64E im pretty sure was actually tested with brimstone 2s but uhh (40 km range on a helicopter is way to much) and the EFT never had the brimstone 1 but do in game so eh?

I hope Gaijin changes their mind on placing the F-16I after the C. It’s an upgrade to the F-16D it should go in the same line as it.
Also line 1 is the light fighter line and the F-16I is anything but a light fighter.

Short answer: It’s not British.
Long answer: There are plenty of British, South African and Indian vehicles left to be added, but rather than getting one of those Gaijin felt the need to add a vehicle from a nation that isn’t Britain or one of their Subtrees. Also, since the Ram is based on the M3, a TT M3 Grant would have been much better than the Ram.
Oh, and personal hypocritical answer: The AC IB and/or AC III would have been way cooler.
You’re the second person to mention spaa in a helicopter vs helicopter balancing debate, you can work around the new spaa with usage of terrain masking when possible (albeit impossible on some maps with shit heli spawns) having massively imbalanced range on top of oppressive enemy SPAA to deal with is hardly fair for the majority of nations that aren’t russia or china
That’s not what’s happening. Kh-38MTs are currently average because of the new CAS preventing their platforms from launching safely like they can with GPS guided bombs.
Kh-38MT’s lock range of 14km does not change. Only its IOG-GPS guided range changes which means nothing in ground battles because you physically can’t get further than 50km in ground battles anyway let alone launch from more than 30km effectively.
Sadly Boeing stopped integration entirely, so it’d be Spike-ERs for all AH-64Es as top missile before radar.
@joshje100 All F-16s are light fighters irrelevant of personal definitions.
Is this confirmed, horrible choice if it is but they might be saving the Ra’am line for an F-15IA in the future
Maybe. But I feel like the 40km range from a missile of that size is a bit of a stretch, I’d imagine the path the missile takes to reach that if it can, would give it an extremely long time to target
False, the brimstones are fully interoperable on British Apaches, however their MOD chose the JAGM over the Brimstone due to a favourable contract with their new AH Mk2 fleet
would make up for the worse defence
Because I think the new SAMs will be very effective at it, I’d even say they’re a step above what they added last update.
yeah (we already have the issue of the battery on the brimstone in game is 60 seconds when irl it is way higher then that so even though it should have a 20 km range from the EFT it can barely get 14 under deal conductions

It’s 40km from fixed wing aircraft traveling at high speed.
From helicopters it’s less than 16km.
Idk, I just think having 2 nation’s helis being definitively better than the rest because they are adding new scary SAM systems to be a poor balancing decision on gaijin’s end
closet ground attackers (mostly used as a bomber irl also early ones up to 16C blk40 didn’t have IFF or radar missiles (pre-120) unlike real fighters)

less than 16km is for Brimstone 1, 40km is the range for heli launched brimstone 2 apparently
I don’t think they’d be better, take into account all the draw backs of the weapons.
could be wrong but from a quick google it should be around 40km from a helicopter and 60km from a plane
for brimstone 2s
