I have yet to see an answer as to why the ability to track a target through smoke is so game breaking that the Brimstones cant be added with Mode 2 functional. That is the only advantage they would have over other AGMs. Why is the line here instead of the other reasons mentioned in the Dev blog? Surely being able to fire from beyond the range of AA is far more broken then tracking through smoke. Yet this reason is redundant as it already exists in game.

Oh, no, that’s literally unplayable. Crawling on the belly from the 29 and 141, and with only SAL missiles.
Yep…
ARB, you’ll rarely get to a base because you’ll be defending against Su-34s, ICEs, firing ARH and the F-16s and F-15As firing IR missiles at you
in ASB yo’ll be edge skirting like mad, like we had to during all of 2023. At least this time we can fight back / defend ourselves a bit, but nothing you can do if a Mig-29 gets on your tail, might as well J-out

Wait, isn’t the BR of the Su-34 13.7?
Nope. 13.3 in RB and sim. because of course the the Su-34 is equal in performance to the Tornado F3 Late

ehhhh in air to air regard i dont think the F3 late should be 13.3 but it’s not as doomed against the Su-34 as it seems.
F3 has the BVR advantage, but as soon as it goes WVR, F3 is dead. Cant out turn it out, cant out run it and R-73s and R-77s are great in a dogfight. With BOL so weak, it can barely defend itself against either, especially at close range

also any idea what the HMD on tornado Gr4 will look like?
huh neat will it have the IFF for friendlies like the A-10C and what appears to be the Mirage 2000 RMV?
also massive nerf for nato RWRs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9HlT5tiTWY
for some reason it wont embed
Why? It’s a fatter Su-27 with a better radar (that it’s missiles can’t even fully use) and no HMD
PESA Radar, ARHMs and by all accounts a pretty good fm.
At the same BR Tornado GR.4 doesnt have an A2A Radar, no ARHM and 2 Aim9M for defence.
Not a good FM at all

That’s an issue of Tornadoes being over BR’d in general, not the Su-34 being under BR’d
We can only use the metrics we have.
Su-34 with its ground ordinance alone should be top tier with the F-15E
Mirage could also join that level
With Tornado below them

Have seen some drv server footage it pulls crazy AOA while also being pretty quick.
Yes and the Tornados should be lower
It is. In ground RB.
The Mirage is already 13.7
I have played it. It pulls crazy AOA… in exchange for all of it’s speed. And it is anything but quick.
I havent flown it likely will never unlock it.
AOA for the R73 should be spicy though
