lol EBR was more OP on launch than all 4 of those combined, IS-7 is the same effective BR as launch BR [decompression happened] so clearly not OP.
Just implement the Brimstone with basic F&F with no LOAL and then it should be no problem

yeah, that should be it just make it able to switch to laser anytime it not gonna be the problem but seem too much to give since Brimstone isn’t Russia

It’d have the same limitations if it was in the Soviet tech tree.
Name AGM have range and speed match KH-38 in the game
Brimstone should have ability to be FnF and Laser at the same time its dual mode for a reason
ofc it should have better seeker than KH-38 it supposed to be that way
too bad can’t let that happen because Russian don’t even have radar guided AGM irl because skills issue on their side

Speed doesn’t matter against ground targets except to get a kill before a tank gets a kill on that tank.
And KH-38’s target lock range is 20km, same as AGM-65D/G currently.
Unless you mean its ground lock-on range which PGM and China’s glide bomb exceeds.
Also it doesn’t matter of Soviets have it or not, it’s about all tech trees having smoke that can defeat radars or not.
AGMs aren’t fighting other AGMs, AGMs aren’t fighting other aircraft. Speed and other nonsense that matters against aircraft does not matter anywhere close to as much against tanks from the air.
Everything matters being speed seeker range if speed doesn’t matter why nation eager to develop hypersonic missile?
every ability of missile matters
Speed matters
Seeker matters
Range matters
the nonsense one it’s you who think missile speed does not matter
Speed means harder to intercept and faster to reach the target
Seeker means how good missile able to lock and find the target
Range means how far missile can shoot at target

Speed to a point matters, and if it’s after that point it just stops mattering.
Even my GBU slinging is above that speed which I have not determined what that speed is, I just know it’s less than that of GBU slinging.
Seeker matters most, and range is part of the seeker.
This is after hundreds of CAS frags across 20+ guided weapons CAS across hundreds of battles.
I saw KH-38 and my first thought was “Cool, I’m not going to use that. I’ve already used AGM-65G and with the 20km max range limitation of the game itself, and with no SPAA being within my launch ranges as-is, KH-38 does nothing new I haven’t already used.”
And that turned out to be correct.
The only time speed was “an issue” was when 1 out of 10 targets [liberal estimate] would die to a tank instead of my ordnance.
My point still stands every ability of missile are matters including speed
KH-38 still outranges and faster than brimstone so Brimstone should have better seeker (as it does irl)
its Brimstone II that can outranges KH-38

Speed “does not” matter, because FlaRakRad has about 16s to react on Kh-38 fired outside its range, while S1 has about 40s to react on a AGM-65 fired “outside” its range.
In 16s even if smoke is fired it is not enough time to move out of the Kh blast radius.
There is also caveat to climbing to space to bomb S1 from the orbit, and that are “chemtrails” which are like magnet for Fox 3 missiles and practically can’t be dodged at such altitudes.

In reality neither have that time because almost all the time the missiles don’t show up for them to lock to begin with, AGM-65 less so maybe due to being smaller.
Also being a “magnet” for enemy fighters is a good thing.
SU34 gets grom 1 in next updat with 120 km range and is gnss guided

But But But Brimstone OP hah typical Gaijin

Yep, useless in ground battles, will be neat in sim.
ppl are gonna use it in ground battles
and it will lead to more teamkills than brimstone ever could
Like how GBU-31 has? Oh wait… It’s just a GPS bomb with a longer range.
oh wait that means you can launch them from outside of visual range and from outside of SAM range.
almost like thats exactly what gaijin didnt want
hmmm
strange
isnt it
very strange

Well Brimstone are not Russian yeah
What Gaijin don’t actually want is something that completely outrange Pantsir

You mean what I’ve been doing since 2022… which means nothing changes.
Brimstone isn’t a GPS guided bomb, and PGM-2000s have been in the game longer.
@ARK_BOI
Prove that GROMs are radar guided, I’ll wait.
It has nothing to do with them being “Russian”.
War Thunder CAS completely outranges Pantsir as-is, over 20 CAS do. It’s not new.
it not and don’t need to
Yes, people know Brimstone are seeker are better so what?
can’t let Brits have better stuff than Russia?
it supposed to be better that what it is
