Keep in mind, Martel got a tv seeker without MitM. So they’re quite comfortable fudging things when it is convenient.
I can’t remember as I didn’t participate in it. But almost all controversy in this game revolves around armament. My suggestion would help alleviate that.
KH 38 is way more OP than the brimstone, the ability to fire a ir missile at close to 20km, having the missile traveling at Mach 2 and have enough he to easily one shot MBT. And asking for what’s essentially a hellfire to get IR tracking is over the border of balancing. I don’t want to say Russian bias but……

yep, they already added a fake mode like that to the Martel, why not add it to the Brimstone?, would just give us a chance to taste its abilities without it being obscenely broken

I wouldn’t say Russian bias, kh 38 kind of (extreme emphasis here on “kind of”) made sense when you looked at the gap in amount of ordnance and the platform’s ability to defend itself. But with su 34 coming, that gap is closing so unless they account for it by unfucking brimstone, then it will effectively be Ruski and Yank bias.

Can’t have vehicles operate outside of range without a counter guys, good thing we have all those AA vehicles with 20km range.

you didnt show the part where it locked the ground not the tank and did not hit it
It still has no counter.

a fox 3 or heli with anti air missiles
but this would also apply to Brimstone
so in other words plane counter works for all planes
the argument is that Brimstone has to be SAL-guided becuase otherwise there’s no counter, your “uhm actually” isn’t really relevant because it applies across the board and if valid would justify every form of ground ordnance being added to the game

Yeah, BL755 would have made a world of difference

BL755, FnF Brimstones…
The communication and discussion from Gaijin around balancing of GRB with regard to Airborne munitions and its counters are just disingenuous since the introduction of modern in-service vehicles.
Sure Longbow Hellfire would’ve been OP in 2020 with mmWave ARH back then, but Gaijin just conveniently forgets about it almost 5 years later. Sure Brimstone maybe OP if given its mmWave ARH capability today with an “operational” range of 20km.
Meanwhile a certain nation received the only 20km range SPAA in game, received FnF IR missile that outrange all but the previously mentioned SPAAs in the game one year later, and is now expect to receive the same missile on a supersonic platform capable of carrying six of them.
The whole mmWave ARH having no counter argument is so weak when the best argument is literally “It cannot be smoked” when current IR FnF munition is equally undetectable and “It will TK indiscriminately” when they somehow wrestle the spaghetti code to introduce an IFF that works based on teams but not vehicle nations.
Time after time Gaijin confounded technical limitations and balancing and shove it down the players’ throats. If you can’t get it to work just admit it, it’s way better than implementing a hatchet job and call it balancing decision to incite pointless debates among the players over “bias”.

they can just omit the full LOAL/salvo mode and use the combined laser/mmW guidance.
IR F&F on Helis is already annoying enough so I don’t have strong feelings about lacking mmW

Alternatively, let Britain have something good for once (the tanks aren’t) to help in ground and let us ripple off brimstones at the foe.
It’s a pretty stupid restriction that forces us to fly with artificially broken weapons. And yes, in all your excuses, the mention of balance seems frankly hypocritical, especially now when you’re adding a new carrier for the Kh-38 that can fly at supersonic speeds and maneuver intensively.

Don’t forget, it can also engage air targets with R77. Which is a far sight better than what Nado can do to defend itself.

Why not simply give the Brimestone and the AGM-114L the characteristics of existing weapon systems?
Most people would be happy with the Brimestone if it were simply Fire and Forget like Mavericks or KH-38
Likewise with the AGM-114L, just give it the capabilities of the Spike or PARS and people would be happy too…
