The topic of this post is telling us that no other country can possess missiles with performance exceeding KH38 XD

How many months do they need to review 2-page MBDA Brochure? Or is it an impossible task to find 3 words “proximity fuse capability” out of 382?
Been reported, but just on Gaijin whether or not they want to add prox fuse to the brimstones
Vikhrs got it, no reason why the brimstone shouldn’t be able to in game

With gaijin you never know.

We do know, its British so it will be denied for being too strong cause “Su-25T Subsonic” makes Vikhrs not too strong
Yep, definetly the argument I can see. Vikhrs is only found on sub-sonic jets.

if we do see proxy Brimstones its gonna be more fun than i’ve had in a while, either sneaky “BVR” capability or just another way to easily farm bot aircraft.
gonna attack Gzabi’s spreadsheet rn to see the stats that would affect A2A performance
Yeah, could be used like that. Also makes them really effective for dealing with helis in grb too.
Combine with the fact that I want the Brimstone 1s replaced 2s for the better motor. Then the sal only has some notable value
yeah if we get upgraded to the Brimstone 2 its gonna become a fairly decent missile in air and very nice in ground,
gotta see how the current brimstone is yet, currently 193k away from the GR.4 trying to keep the grind fun by using the GR.1 and using PGMs for base bombing at 4000m at ~20-30km away, makes its range useful and test it, surprisingly effective and doesn’t place you into the meat grinder straight away, and the 1200 chaff makes notching extremely easy, if your bombs miss then you can just drop into the fray, new tornado FM makes it surprisingly able in my experience of taking the offensive even against MiG-23s and F-14s

imma actually check the replay for the exact range the PGMs travel
Yeah, I’ve got to unlock the brimstones yet but as a SIM main, I’m screwed by the lack of a 12.3 bracket so only ever face mig-29s and higher.
But the lack of FnF limits their value greatly in sim. Better to run ePaveways and PGMs.
Looking forward to messing with the IR PGMs, especially with the buffs. I had terrible issues with them so never bothered with them much. But used them as ASMs on the dev server and they were awesome.
And yeah. Brimstone 2s are needed. Brimstones 1s even with FnF have less potency than even AGM-65 with wise of range and speed. Being SAL only on top of that screws them over much. Brimstone 2s would make them really decent to use, especially with the compression
Should nail a target at 50km when dropped from enough height…was nailing ships at 10km dropped from 100ft. Definetly believe 20-30km range dropped from 10k ft
If you have the gripen you could also get the airfield AAs in SB with GBU-39s, got 30 kills in 2 passes, could have been more if I didn’t drop 2 at each target first thinking 1 wouldn’t be enough. Just funny seeing the kill feed spam lol
A-10Cs are doing that at the moment against battlefields and it’s breaking the gamemode 🤣

I don’t usually play SB and when I do its in the 9.3-11.7 bracket, GBU-39s seem great, iirc remember testing them on the test drive and I got something stupid like 50km out of them firing at high altitude, get high enough and the map is yours ig

longest range launch i hit with was around 22km, usually launch around 14-17km though, longest attempted was around 28km and didn’t fall too far short
Now my task is to break the 30km mark, maybe even the 40km mark, gonna hope for an EC map though
So basically, Gaijin Team thinks that 6 Kh-38s + a 1500kg bomb on a mach 2 supermenuverable Russian Jet is Justified but not Brimstones on a horribly modeled Tornado because they dont want to take the time to implement mmw technology to be “ballanced”
Meanwile they remove Grom-1 because you could literally AFK bomb bases in RB and Sim, which would kill their revenue from people GEing tech tree vehicles/modifications becasue you could just speed grind Russia top tier with a Talisman on the Su-34.

ive noticed airspeed matters much more than altitude, essensially fall like normal bombs above 7000-8000m, atleast the 2000’s,
hey, atleast their not moddled as “Guided Bombs” but as “AGMs” cause a mach launch limit would kill a lot they have going for them
Yeah, that does make sense, as it means the motor is having to do less work. Essentially you are throwing the PGM further. Without wings, its not exactly gliding to the target.
and yeah, that is huge, I keep getting screwed by the drop speed limit in Sim
