Still WIP, lacks SPI interactions.

Any word on the pylon mounts for brimstone or are we sticking with only the belly mounts? An increase in magazine depth would be extremely helpful when launching 2 or so for that increased probability of kill that a single launch lacks.

There is a bug report about it: Community Bug Reporting System

But for now it will have 9, for balance reasons:

Shame :/ kind of disappointing getting so few

9 does seem low when they are not guaranteed to kill the target that could mean 2-3 per target. 2 kills per loadout is hardly competitive.

Yes I know it has the LGBs too

Yeah, considering they are so limited to begin with, limiting a second time round with belly stores only is tad annoying. But oh well, I’d probably always use it with fuel tanks or wing bombs/PGMs anyway.

still think they should just introduce it as generic IR fnf missles then, it isnt to far fetched compared to whatever they are doing now

its in my opinion sad they didnt even recognise the communities desire / question for this and just completly ignore any mention of it

Question….

Gaijin are moving down the F4 ice to 13.0, the new premium viggen is 13.0 (dev server) and every other gen 3 or 3+ with AMRAAMs sits at 13.0 (J8F, FA.2, AV8B+)

Why is the F.3 late staying at 13.3? (0.o) Because I’d like someone to tell me with a strait face it’s just strait up better than all of those aircraft…especially after the speed nerf which was the only thing it had going for it.

I smell FGR.2 treatment, British players are just too good….

A2G functions for the HMS are now on dev;

So does Brimstone’s poor performance mean that the CAS will still use this kind of garbage when the typhoon fighter arrives in the future?

Shouldn’t it be red (640nm) though? Or is it some engine limitation that HMS and HUD symbology only comes in green?

Probably a limitation right now. As you can change HUD colour.

So now the last real big fix left to be done is the speed that being the one that is really effecting them the most right now

@Gunjob did you get gaijin to give the tornado better landing gear suspension too? feels a little bouncy

newfound VTOL tech i suppose, why didn’t the british think of this before making the harrier

That is because you flied the Sea Tornado FGR.4
It was not as wide spread as the other variants, but a few existed. Main feature was the VTOL capability, but due to deincrease in aircraft carrier role in the current times, they were sent to reserve.
