Either got changed recently because I don’t remember this. Even planes, I could see their contrails and even lock them, but the actual plane wouldn’t even render in. Similar for tanks, I could see their tracks. (And they would pop in and off randomly)
We will have to see when the update drops
“We will have to see when the update drops”
This is… not a complicated thing to realize… there is nothing the SM3 does that the Su34 doesnt do except for thermals…
This alone is the reason why the ka50 isn’t higher BR. It’s a very big deal. Now I wonder if you can use the missile’s seeker like the agm-65D
you can… people have been showing it off that you can lol
IMO, should have just banned their use in ARB and Sim to prevent farming.
They’re not super useful in GRB, but would still be a nice addition.
let me guess, its because devs dont want people slinging them from the airfield
why not just add the same feature the gps bombs have where you cant out a target point with gps weapons?(unless that was a bug with dance of dragons dev)
Judging from the fact that Britain is the second lowest played nation in top tier GRB and the lowest played nation in top tier ARB, it’s safe to say most Britain players feel the same at this point. So many years of British vehicles not being implemented correctly or artificially nerfed for pretty much no reason at all.
Tbh with the lack of people who even play top tier Britain, even LOAL wont make a difference because like 1% of the playerbase will play it or unlock it.
Su-34 and F-16C can easily enter “Enemy” airspace, defend against both A2A and A2G threats FAR easier than the GR4 can, fire off 6x FNF missiles (which is probably more like 12-13km for true FnF) beyond the range of most SPAA bar a few like the Pantsir, and then evade/escape with ease. They can then go on and dogfight anyone in the air.
Tornado Gr4, even with 9x FnF missiles, will still be more vulnerable than any of them. Also likely needing 2x missiles per target instead of 1 like the KH-38 usually needs. In any case. whether you can fire off and guide 2 or 6 doesnt matter. GR4 can only guide 1 at a time max, all with less range than the KH-38 or AGM-65. By all accounts, the best way to use the Brimstones will be flying in at 300 ft, locking at 2 or 3km and firing off a missile before darting off. They are not stand-off weapons in this modeling, but ultra short range guided weapons.
Rendering at 20k, is usually not an issue, but weather severly limits the range at which the tpod wants to cooperate. A thin wisp of cloud can block the tpod from even locking onto a static point half the time.
Will we get IIR guided variants of the PGM instead?
If you have some evidence of Tornado GR.1 / 4 with this, then you can submit a report for consideration.

They wouldn’t even hit bases if slung from airfield cause other bombers would get there first.
I even think the ones in game are moddeled as them due to the yellow tint. Ironic…
They also cant lock onto the GROUND at distances further than 20km despite boasting a 50km range, effectively making their 200 second guidance time useless…
Yep. If PGMs are the best we are going to have for a while, they could at least make them half good. I wonder if they have a GPS mode as well.
They locked fine last I used them in late spring/early summer, and I’m unsure how they became broken between then and the current iteration of War Thunder.
Cause I used them to see how they’d play.
I think they had a laser guided one but im not sure if ive heard of a gps guided one sadly. Would be good for sim and air.
TV sights are heavily affected by weather. Slight bit of cloud and you are screwed. Using them via CCRP in Sim is really hit and miss and I think they are a tad buggy when you try to use them via the TIALD pod. Sometimes its better to swap to the TV sight on the PGM and then fire them instead of making use of the Tpod.
All in all. I think IIR would fix a LOT of issues the PGMs have and then ontop of that, perhaps allow them to be fired at longer ranges, even if that is only via CCRP vs bases.
They are also missing IOG that also doesnt help Community Bug Reporting System
Defo, TV, IIR and laser guided, but just range on them seems a tad strange without GPS as well. either that or they are rather heavily gimped by tpods being gimped in game
They just cant lock onto the ground from further out than 20km, does anyone know if the kh38 has that problem or does ins allow it to? May simply be a cross over from they probably copied over the seeker stats from the mavericks.
