Tornado GR.4: Tenacious Tonka

It’s a super difficult one to find information for past the data sheets. Finding part numbers and looking for manufacturers brochures etc for those parts is the best bet.

But anything you do find you can fire into my DM’s and I will take a look no issues.

I was talking about an in-game limitation, not an IRL one.

I wouldn’t call someone getting a base oppressive tbh, personally I’d be glad that there’d be one less ARH slinger to deal with. It would be fantastic at grinding (far better than Gaijin would like) but i don’t see how that would be a gameplay issue for the people facing it.

This is from an open source about Brimstone Technical characteristics/specifications

Seeker •Millimetric Wave (mmW) radar •Semi-Active Laser (SAL)
Navigation and guidance • Inertial mid-course navigation •Compatible with all STANAG 3733 laser designators •Tandem-shaped charge warhead effective against a wide variety of targets •Defeats all known conventional and reactive armour •Minimal collateral damage .

Based on what I can deduce from this is that it has a semi active laser seeker and has a navigation and guidance system that interacts with satellites I presume. However, satellite signals can be disrupted just like the seeker as well. I assume that other missiles use similar technology. Electromagnetic fields can indeed interfere with the seekers ability to lock on to targets.

I would presume there is electronic equipment to deal with signal disruption and satellite disruption as well. Taking that into an account we could then see such systems in War thunder that could possibly interfere with missiles such as Brimstone, Grom1, KH–38, Tomahawk and so on.

My perspective is not disagree like donkey on issues but to find alternatives to the concept of duck and cover plus smoke, using sixth sense and waiting for some intervention from above.

Yeah its trymg to find reliable sources on modern weapons isnt it.
Eternal struggle, thanks for the pointers on it.

Cant we add another type of brimstone

Its not the act of getting a base thats.oppressive.

The manner in how it gets the base is.

Open source websites aren’t accepted I’m afraid, which presents a challenge finding source materials for modern weapons.

Can be a suggestion sure. But presently we’re starting off with Brimstone DMS.

Gaijin should have just given brimstone a bloody placeholder f&f mode like they have done before. The door has been open to give weapons system placeholders until the game is at a point were they could receive there irl f&f mode’s so why can’t brimstone and don’t bloody say its would be a fictional missile because I’ve literally just pointed out that gaijin have done it before to many other weapons so don’t give us that lame excuse. Like what would you then say if the devs decided to give it a placeholder f&f mode ??

Placeholder modes are only given where the only mode of operation doesn’t exist or cannot be balanced at the present time. Brimstone doesn’t need a placeholder mode as we have mechanics for SAL+IOG in game.

Ok i think you need to say this to the community.

Well in my opinion i think you are wrong. And that if the devs really wanted to they could very easily add a place holder f&f mode it would be that hard it would literally be down to if the devs had the will to give it a placeholder f&f mode.

You’re ofcourse welcome to disagree, but the decision has been made. It was this or nothing, so we have this. I’m happy to see it and use it. By extention you’re perfectly within your right to not use it.

I smoked and moved, then I got smoked…

That is exactly the same information it says on the MBDA datasheet from their own website, so it’s pretty safe to say that it’s accurate information.

Man haha that’s unlucky, you must’ve been just at the edge of the frag damage. Had the same thing happen with my big JDAMs.

I’m glad Brimstone is here, but I do think they could have been implemented with some form of fnf.

For example if the target is lased, the missile is launched and then the laser disengaged mmw takes over guidance. (Is this not essentially mode2?)

If the ability to see through smoke is too powerful, don’t allow that function.

From a balance perspective would this not be comparable to other weapon systems we have in game?

Thats ok no problem.
