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.
lore accurate Brimstone is LOAL
no other thing should come between it if they add FnF without LOAL it still fakes Brimstone
and if it fakes it shouldn’t be add at all.
thats what hes saying the other guy, mode 2 doesnt function without LOAL, which makes no sense, how can a missile be fired, and guide itself into a target if its radar reflector can only see up to 3km away.
It’s not enough time for a missile flying at mach jesus to choose a target etc.
That exactly what should happen at the first place
if it not real or can’t make it functional it shouldn’t be added at all
Gaijin know LOAL brimstone it gonna break balance yep, they’re right about it but it shouldn’t be added at the first place if they gonna make it become SAL abomination
but KH-38 MT? fake sht break balance like LOAL brimstone but allowed to be in the game.
I mean what, do they laser guide the nissile in till its 3km away? seems a tad abstract considering its got about a 30km range and the Brim 2 over 60km range.
The launch platform has a radar that happens to be bigger than a dinner plate. MTI allows for detection of moving targets but not precise targeting. The Brimstone flies towards the target based on that information using INS and gets a radar lock on terminal approach. The AGM-114L works largely the same way, relying on LOAL for stationary or longer range targets that have a weak/no return signal while the missile is still on the rail.
and I’d confidently argue that German mains doing well in the Typhoon is more because they’ve had to make the Tornado ASSTA1 work for the last 2 years with no alternative and now they have an airframe with an excellent FM to drop basically the same weapons as before.
My best game in GSB in the typhoon I got about 10 kills (I was totally uncontested) 8 of them were with the PW4. I had multiple times where brimstone did no damage
