Go read the entire conversation. I didn’t say anywhere that the Brimstone breaks physics.
Asking me that takes longer than just googling it. The Brimstone uses a 94 GHz mmW radar. Do you need the diameter too or can you find that on your own?
[…] asking for an implementation of the Brimstone […]
That implementation being FnF and no LOAL, as pointed out in the exact same post you took that quote from.
i think what he means to say is that brimstone cant lock targets from far away using its own MMW seeker, making it a bit tricky to use in crowded scenarios with possible teamkills
Given it is able to ID the thing its targeting, I think giving it IFF wouldnt be unreasonable if they are really that concerned about it.
IRL you wouldnt have Leopards vs Leopards for example, so a little bit of creative license for a situation that wouldnt normally exist IRL wouldnt be unreasonable
Well using IR guided and SAL missiles have the same problem as they can lose track or be fired wrong in certain situations and then still deal splash damage to friendlies.
It still makes no sense to say its only a 3km range, the missiles IRL are not guided in to 3km as far I can see when fired from both apaches and from fixed wings.
They guide in for a short period and then allow the missile to do its thing.
Can you just read the entire conversation please? Yes, the LOAL mode of the Brimstone is real of course. People usually agree that implementing that would be unbalanced. So they (like the poster I initially replied to) are asking for a version without LOAL mode but FnF capability. Which can’t work at ranges that are useable due to the diffraction limot of the seeker.
Well, you did, just now. Farther up too. Mode 2 doesn’t work without LOAL.
It IDs target on final approach. It can’t tell what’s being targeting early on.
