You need to do it for each projectile and you kinda need LOS, you can cheese that but it’s clunky and no one bothers.

LOAL with spikes or LMUR means and endless stream of brimstones but with better seekers + MITL.

Also MITL was not added to helis for this reason, they will add it next patch, but will be a mistake.

Even only MITL IR weapons are too strong, adding LOAL will just make them uncounterable.

You would have to do the same for Mode 2 Brimstones though. They would perform identically, actually, weaker because youd need LoS with the target, not just the weapon

I already sad that only for brimstones it would be kinda Ok.

But it’s very rare for gaijin to introduce a mechanic and not add it for every other weapons.

Even in helis MITL was only rescheduled not removed, despite being batlantly OP on the devserver.

Maybe gaijin can only add LOAL for SAL systems like brimstone amd the famtasy JAGM-mr

Will we get the Israeli ROCKES ARM before the next major?

Imo, the only OP thing about helis with MITL/FnF is the fact that they can instantly rearm.

and thats been a problem now for a while. Not even mentioning MITL. Even before FnF helis, it was a bit of an issue imo, as helis could rather easily limp back for a repair very quickly

Fix their radar signatures, fix LDIRCM and move helis landing pads far enough away that they actually have to travel to be in range of the map, let alone the other teams SAMs… and they actually become way more balanced.

The issue isnt the weapons, its the platforms and map layout.

Hopefully we get a Korea war to early early Vietnam style era of aircraft (1946 - 1964) F-86 Sabre dropping nukes and early SAMS supported with gun based Anti-Aircraft artillery would be awesome. Would be a way to have the B-29 into this mode and other heavy bombers.

I doubt before. Probably with though, hopefully at least

I don’t believe they add new weapons to anyone outside of majors besides like maybe battlepass vehicles.

They have RCS,they do not have doppler effect, making them masked by ground clutter if standing still or against purely PD radars

Would the B -1B be a viable fit for NE at current top tier?

Speaking of air defense features and improvements, can we please see some of these new systems be used in current air battle modes? I would like to see S-300 and Patriot systems in ARB. It’s still pretty awkward to see MiG-15s AI assets in a 13.0 + match. It really makes more sense to replace MiG-15 assets with B52, Tu-95, Su-27, & F-15s.

Tpod range especially is a really good shout. We have weapons that can be used at greater ranges, but you just cant. Not really at least

Maybe next time there’s a round of questions we can ask about Tpod range and when we’ll see Taurus and Storm-Shadow/SCALP

Have you considered that if balancing the economy is proving so difficult, perhaps it would be better to move away from individual rewards for every single action and instead introduce a fixed team-wide reward based on the battle’s outcome? You could include multipliers based on the total number of targets destroyed during the match, but—as I mentioned earlier—without tying the reward to specific actions performed by individual players.
Ofc. win should yield a higher payout, and this final reward would also be multiply by % of premium bonuses for players who have them.
That way, you wouldn’t end up with 2 “farmers” and 14 “bums” in a team; everyone would get something.
You’ve seemingly already figured out how to detect AFK players based on activity, so that shouldn’t be an issue either.

Btw. what about my suggestion over AA changes?

Will further development on AShM terminal attack profiles be done? (Example: AGM-84 Harpoon performs a top attack maneuver in the final phase of engagement by quickly climbing and diving with high Gs, I believe this is also true for a number of European weapons of similar size and layout)

Furthermore, will warheads for missiles used in naval attack be updated to better reflect their roles? (AS-20 and AS-30 are using SAP-HE warhead rather than pure HE)

@BVV_d

Also i should say that if you planning add BR bracket for vehicles below 13.0 - just bring April AA’s placement to it (Patriot/S-300, BUK-M1/Hawk, Roland/OSA) Just cuz those jets under 13.0 cant handle top-tier AI AAs.
