These are the main reason I don’t play top tier grb anymore. Playing against Russia is just a joke. Spawn in your 34, then your 30, then pantsir to shoot down any enemy counter CAS. It’s just that cycle over and over and over. And it’s not fun.
Gaijin better get their act together in implementing more advanced SPAA soon. We all know they won’t remove the 38MT. Hope in that happening is futile. All we can do is hope for counters to it.
brimstone has F&F capacities using the millimetric wave radar, altough i would severely limit its range if this gets added by making its guidance time halved
theres no reason why we cant just have it as we need to designate a target before FnF instead of rattling off a full salvo and seeing what sticks, as that would actually be unfair.
Personally I think the best solution would be to nerf the seeker head. There is no shot in hell that Russia has a 3rd gen thermal imager with an 25x zoom mounted to the end of these missiles.
Sure, but remember PARS or Magic 2 when first added?
They came in an Nerfed state, hekl PARS didnt even was an Fire and Forget it was just an Laser ATGM like Hellfire,
So why csnt they do such an thing for the Brimstone?
Like, SAL mode as currently, with the Option of Pointing an area and at range xy (3km) (no Laser support) as example it will turn into an Fire and Forget like the Pinguin or HAMMER
After asking dataminers, no. Technically everything comes from the PARS, so I guess you could say both of them are a “copy” of it. Tank lock range, fov, full flare rejection are the same
seeing as thales cut them off their supply and that Russia isnt putting them into their tanks which is a FAR more valuable place to put a higher definition thermal camera its a very safe assumption that they arent plugging them into their single use missiles.
Russia hasn’t got the industrial capacity for such a large scale and disposable adoption
As far as i know the MT hasn’t been sighted yet, tho i’d hold from hasty conclusions as some russian weapons i thought were not real turned out to be ( R-27EP especially )
Russia has put their domestic thermals in their tanks for quite a while, even in the modernized T-62’s where they have 2nd gen uncooled domestic thermals while iirc better ones go for more important tanks
This weapon needs to be removed for the sake of balance, nothing comes close to it in terms of raw performance, Kh-38ML is already good enough for CAS and Russia still has access to Kh-29T.
