Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

yeah, definitly useful when u can only shoot 1 at a time

well, at least Gaijin should make brimstone guided and behave like IR mav but able to switch to laser anytime for more accurate balance or something

Did they say you can shoot one at a time?

Im pretty sure you will be able to fire off a few at a time and then just switch targets after each of them hit

This is what people do in Helis

So why don’t you show the shadow storm? It has an infrared guide head at the end, and like KH38, it can only carry 4 pieces. Instead of copying and pasting AGM114 now

Pops smoke, on oh it’s defeated. ARH Brimstone wouldn’t care about smoke at all.

gonna be 6 with su34

Am i right in thinking that they removed the feature that made missiles self-destruct when losing lock? I remember PARS missiles hitting me through a smoke a month or two ago (I haven’t played much recently)

Errm I think it is gone but as Brimstone has IOG thats not a concern.

for spike (idk about pars, but they should work in the same way) that feature is next to useless, even if the target get out of the smoke they wont re-lock again and just fell straight to the ground.

I’ve never seen more people complain about getting a plane we’ve been asking for for a long time with features we’ve been requesting and multiple brand new weapons. Sure it sucks we can only fire one Brimstone at a time but Gaijin’s reasoning is sound, they would be so broken with an ARH seeker.

btw @Gunjob sorry for the question, but I was looking for any evidence about the EGBU24, I wasn’t able to find anything regarding it on the GR4 in the past.

It’s on the Paveway datasheet I’ll dig it up later. It’s is SAL+GPS, like Paveway IV.

Does that not mean that smokes aren’t as reliable for defeating that type of missile now, as you’ll typically smoke after taking at least one hit, or seeing the missile coming towards you? Plus it’s much less risky for helis to restock those AGMs than it is for tanks to restock smokes

Regarding its link to GR4 it’s on the weapons checklist manual.

gotcha, which is the pod that can replace a sidewinder then?

yes they did, they will reaquire lock if they lost sight
the new time until self destruction is like 120s

ok, gotcha.

Also @Gunjob any word if the gr4 will keep the pgms from the GR1?
