The SALH Brimstone I is the first version of the Brimstone ever fired in anger (both in general and by the UK).
Your argument is that if weapons and/or vehicles that might not have existed in real life stay in game they might as well give the Brimstone a made up mode that couldn’t work that way in reality? Sure, why not, at least that’s consistent.
all these missiles missing functionalities while the KH38MT has yet to have been proven real, or false.
Theres not enough evidence for it to even be in the game never mind as strong as it is.
That is interesting. While very much possible, it would require more research into pilot behavioral patterns during missions.
Was not mounted on an EF2000 and as far as Im aware the original brimstone was not SALH only.
My argument is if the Kh38MT stays in game why cant the brimstone get even the capability for FnF same as say a maverick so about 10km range?
one missile is proved to have existed and is nerfed into the ground while another is as far as we can see never even been test fired.
EDIT: You cant have one rule for one nation then another rule for another.
Like the who fiasco with the Isreali F15 getting better engines than the American one.
Can’t say we need 2 sources to change something but add a missile that barely has one source.
See my point?
Brimstones would be fine SAL only, if they remove the KH38MT, replace it with the 29T or laser ones.
Same as brim.
Or make brim, and subsequently other missiles that are missing funtions, up to par.
Whys that such a task to understand?

And no UH-1Y venom
Are you suggesting removing the KH-38MT and adding the T-14? Because I’d be in favor of that :)
Probably a combination of both
I think you mean M1a32

I mean, I climb, dump some KH-38s, kill incoming jets, climb again, dump the rest of the KHs and the KAB-1500, then head back to base.
please read the whole thread before replying, this was already mentioned and it was discovered Kh-38MT was removed from the russian language version of the website while the english version hasnt been updated since around 2017 which is the earliest it is on wayback machine

It doesn’t matter what they’re missing, if you’re making up an unrealistic new mode from scratch that’s just that, unrealistic.
What do you mean with pilot behavioral patterns?
The Brimstone I was mmW radar only. They upgraded some with the dual mode seeker for Afghanistan. First one fired in anger was fired by a Tornado.
It could, like I said, that’s consistent. Adding made up stuff for the purpose of balancing is fine with me. Like you said, you can’t apply that rule to only one nation.
You typed anger, means😠
Ofc i know you meant war/conflict, but i still joked about it.

Theres a missile thats not been proven to existed being the best in its field? that doesnt fuss you
No one is asking for that at all We want the brimstones to be made at least partly what they are capable of if theres a damn fake missile in game that trumps the rest.
Again, so never mounted ona typhoon
For a situation like WT, the brimstones are actually working exactly as intended. AFAIK, laser guidance is used when there are friendly units nearby, radar guidance is only authorized when there is no possibility of them targeting friendlies.

Not exactly. Laser was used to include man in the loop, so the missile does not choose the target itself, but it can be directed to a specific one in a cluttered enviroment. Failsafe so the missile does not impact a random civilian home(example made up by me, any relation ot real life events coincidential).

I mostly play top tier russia in air, probably only spawned the su34 like a dozen times in grb. Russian tanks arent exactly fun in postage stamp maps where the meta is hill peaking or hiding behind a building abusing 3rd person camera with their poor gun handling, depression, and reverse.
And when you spawn 2km up 15km away with gen 3 thermals every map basically is an open field. What actually stops you from doing this is clouds.
You could also just engage with ideas instead of trying to stat shame, I get checking to see if people even bother to play what they claim to but come on…
Also ground kills count things like killing AI in ARB, so even if someome has like 500 ground “kills” how are you going to tell if it was players or ai or even what game mode?
And it wasnt me that flagged your post, people on this forum are brain damaged and flag everything. Half my posts get flagged for saying a cussword or something. Soft mfers.

The laser was primarily added to enable the Brimstone to be used against targets other than vehicles. Like infantry and buildings. Which enabled it’s usage as a COIN weapon
If u dont believe me heres translated from russian
They dont even list IR-guidence anymore as op said so this is just stupid to treat outdated website as a “reliable” source
So still no evidence yet again what a shocker

bit of undestatement. theyre ever so slightly better at range than laser guided bombs due to being marginally faster and having more flat trajectory, but due to gimball limit of targeting pods, youre pretty much a sitting duck. not to mention that if you launch them at any longer distance, they still take ages to fly to the target.
not to mention they require a direct hit to do any damage.

Devs when Russia: Hmm there’s a video and a website that’s totally unreliable (adds it)
Devs when any other nation: Give us sekrit documents and we’re going to think about whether to add it or not (they wont).
