They should give JAGM-MR to the AH-1Z as well.

MMW… maybe… I think there are a million options to mitigate it. From just giving them IR seekrs to making smoke work against them and requiring LOBL. If nothing else. They are looooong overdue to air modes and be restricted from ground modes
But come on. Seriosuly, SAL Brimstone 2s would be game breakingly OP?
The Longbow mast radar is primarily needed for:
rapid detection and tracking of armored vehicles (tanks, infantry fighting vehicles),
issuing target designation for AGM-114L Hellfire Longbow launches (with active radar homing head).
But the AH-64E without a radar can still use all modern CAS (close air support) class missiles:
AGM-114R Hellfire II (universal, laser homing head)
AGM-179 JAGM (Joint Air-to-Ground Missile) is the newest missile, already being created on the AH-64E. It has a three-channel search: laser + IR + radar, and it does not need a radar on the mast - everything is built into the missile itself.

Usa finally gets a buff for their helis which they were in dire need of and with the new anti airs we will have even more problems
And LDIRCM, and AIM-9X-2’s, and maybe even the modified Longbow radar pod

Sweden heli’s simply wont get better, thats just a fact, which means they need better air as a whole as they lack the ability to get better missiles. The AHS is simply too old to warrant new munitions unlike the AH 64D on Japan which can get new missiles or helicopters from Thailand though im not sure what they have. Realistically its just Britain that doesn’t have them yet which im sure you’ll be fine with once they have something because it wont be a problem anymore.

I got multiple clips of Agm-65 doing nothing xd
Guess it depends on how the snail feels given they’ve let vehicles use munitions they couldn’t use irl.

Don’t mean to be a nerd but I would just say ESA instead of AESA to be inclusive of PESA that is found on Su-30s.
I did actually not know that. Interesting

They still need to work on something. And heck, are you mad there still doesnt look like a sign for the Gripen NG?
(I dare not complain about the lack of Gripen NG because I would just get accused of British BIAS somehow)
Heat warhead is terrible, gotta use the G for any real kills.
Yeah yeah, saame differnece though. Sitll way better than the buggy M-scan we currently have

Sometimes it feels like the 2A4 is the arch nemesis of the AGM-65. Had an SQB game where the first one only destroyed my MG like in your example and the second one bounced off my tank.
Real
I made a post to buff it if youre intereated

is it set in stone that the cf18 is a premium or is there a possibility the early aussie f18 is the premium instead
