Brimstones are fine for hunting helis (that’s if you can get the TGP to lock them and if the missile doesn’t phase through the helicopter)
Typhoon has probably the worst combination for short range battles, 120B and C are inferior to the R-77 and R-77-1 and even the R-27ER. Aim9M are also pretty terrible and usually accidentally flared by whatever jet you are looking at.
Brimstones are rubbish against tanks and SAMs the explosive mass is too small and Gaijin removed hullbreak and they are too small to cause overpressure. Russian ERA will usually eat them.
SPICE I dont have the AESA Typhoon but they were excellent before the changes and the addition of the Pantsir SV.
Typhoon wants to be high and fast down low and slow it struggles from an over enthusiastic instructor and brutal rudder control. Having no true FnF missiles hurts it in ground battles oh and I almost forgot it’s SEAD Payload of…2
AGM-88! Typhoon is not even in the top 5 CAS aircraft but the Su-30 is.
Ngl I would still take su34 or su30. I would think about quality and quantity before latest major update. But holy cow, watching kh31pd approach aa site at mach 3-4 before completely annihilating it is too satisfying.
Yea of course, it’s the easiest and most braindead CAS to play.
But these people crying as if the Typhoon was so bad is just dishonest, but we are used to that.
You said if you want a weapon you can release at above Mach 1 take a Paveway IV as if it is some kind of wonder weapon. Yet Russia get missiles that have no limitations.
Typhoon is not in the top 5 CAS.
Lets break it down Brimstone requires laser guidance. Pantsir kills Typhoon missile misses.
Pantsir SV can kill the Typhoon and the slow moving missile.
SPICE are fine but easy to intercept and 6 is not enough.
2 HARM missiles
Paveway IV are or were good Pantsir should not die to a Paveway.
Best CAS
Su-30s
Su-34
Rafale
F-15E
F/A-18E
JAS-39E
Are probably the stand out for their ground attack payloads, and quantity of bombs and missiles.
Pantsir Paveway bombing was my MO but since Pantsirs Radar is so good they have very rarely get through. Could also deal with Pantsirs with Brimstones but not the SV its death to try and use Brimstones etc.
While Typhoon on paper looks fantastic and it can beat pretty much any jet in air combat it’s ground ordinance is poor.
First of all this statement is objectively wrong. Or does NATO spaa only consist of IRIS-T ?
And what even has that to do with Brimstones ? If you don’t think beeing able to kill all helicopters with impunity is a huge advantage idk what to tell you.
Keep playing the victim.
SU’s obviously agree.
Rafale fell from grace substantially with it’s slow hammers. Does the Aesa version have ARMS ? I only have the normal one, which doesn’t get any.
F15E is not bad for sure, but i would chose the Eurofighter any day over it. Because if there is a SV or even normal Pantsir with more than 2 braincells, you are not going to do anything against it.
Also you better pray there are no enemy planes if you take a full A/G loadout.
If you are trying to prove that MSL is an effective method for eliminating HELI, then your understanding of the game is truly worrying.
Don’t play dumb. Everyone knows that all you need to do is lateral movement + foil sheet, and the heli can avoid MSL
Even without LDIRCM
