Yeah, hopefully by the time of the FGR4, they will be, if nothing else, the FGR4 only ever used Brimstone 2 onwards so even if its SAL still, its 40-60km range and not 14-20km range
Exactly. Don’t make them able to track through smoke for now, if that’s the problem.

Are Brimstone-2’s notably faster?
The flight time on that max range must be enormous if not
Don’t we all man… the Block 60 is an end of the line thing that really belongs in the TT…

true! if they put it as an event aircraft after all of this time waiting im quieting man😭
The major upgrade was a new engine motor, no idea about flight time from max range, but if we figure we’ll still be somewhat limited to 20ish km range, then it should more than halve the flight time. They can also be used fully “off-boresight”

“but that would be unrealistic and it would be unfair to have a missile that can out range sams! oh wait”
This. I can’t believe they are even thinking about adding the RDF/LT as a premium. While I have top tier ground in several nations the USA has always been my favorite. This despite USA top tier being the most pathetic experience for nearly two years. If Gaijin adds another premium top tier USA? Then I will be forced to conclude that Gaijin hates USA players.
“No but you see, it’s balanced because it’s limited to a subsonic platfor… oh… mhmm”
Don’t quit just yet, we gotta hold out for the F-35I lmaoooo

shouldn’t be so much. KH-38 with a powerful engine only reduced 40% fly time to mav.
As a Ra’am stan, I’m going to face a mental crisis when Adir comes, and there’s only one slot in my lineup.
If Brimstone 1 has a max range of 20km and a flight time of 60+ seconds
Then Brimstone 2 with a max range of 40-60km fired from 20km should in theory only have a flight time of around 30 seconds.
I wonder if we’ll have a Merkava Mk.5 prototype at the least by the time the F-35I comes to the game, imagine…

it’s not counted like this. the engine should have improved some, but the main way to access to longer range is by improvement in battery, and better ballistic planning, not install a super engine to make it twice faster.
I’m just hoping that by then, RAM paint technology evolves far enough that we can see Adir in a beautiful Ra’am / Sufa style desert paint scheme lmao
Nah, bc stelth :P
Paint = no stelth

KH-38 moment.
I dont believe the battery was upgraded going from Brimstone 1 to 2. Its the main argument Gunjob is tryting to use with the Devs to get the flight time increased for the Brimstone 1s.
Given Brimstone 2 is also advertised to be able to be used at extreme angles, I think its fair to say it got a major engine upgrade
