By a MiG-19 too at that

i’ve seen props outroll the PL-12

Please read the blog again.

You are simplifying and seeing only what you want to see. It isn’t about all FnF weapons. Its specifically about IR and TV guided weapons with a MITL method. Of which Brimstone is neither.

How I see this mechanic:

  1. Fire at a target point via the map
  2. swtich to the DL view for the last fired weapon
  3. pick a target for it to lock onto

what I would propose for Brimstones

  1. Fire at a target point via the map
  2. Mark a target with a laser spot
  3. last fired Brimstone locks onto that target when it gets within 9km

I dont really see all that big of a difference in functionality and would go a long way to making a totally worthless weapon actually semi-usable.

I don’t think they have mentioned LOAL, it might be that you can only change targets if the missile was launched in target mode and not point mode. We don’t know yet.

Which adds what to them?

If you read the blog, it explains what it adds?

The Ho229 roll rate would be a worthy rival

It adds LOAL for certain FnF weapons.

also F-16V perhaps? that’s what im thinking. although there’s two types of upgraded F-16s Taiwan uses

Read the blog watch the video. You connect to the video feed of the weapon on course to a predesignated target, at which point you move the weapons seeker to a new target in the FoR.

This is nothing like any Brimstone guidance.

You’re mixing two different things. Your concern and intention should rather be the improvement over the current Brimstone’s implementation, considering that now we are receiving better tech for other FnF ammunition.

I don’t think Taiwan has F-16Vs yet, which kinda makes me think F-CK-1 or a later F-16 they have upgraded

It should be same as PoBIT

are you being serious or just coping? cause if its not cope then YEAH

So far no LOAL has been talked about or shown, we don’t know if we will be able to lock a target when a missile is launched in point mode.

F-CKs can’t carry GBU-53s, it IS a F-16 but we don’t know which one
