Or the Brimstone just phasing straight through said heli, seen it happen more than a few times

very true.
Just played a game with the Ajax 61 rounds shot at a T-80UD 20+ phased through the carousel none spalled through the drivers port so utterly sick of this crap.
The 40mm is dead as it currently stands.
Is there any suggestions for the comres 75? Auto loading 20pdr would be cool as hell. If anyone has more details and documents around this thing 👀

If they wont give the Brimstone LOAL i feel its time to change the brimstone to SPEAR 3 Glide at least on the typhoons.
They have had their MMW seekers replaced with semi-active laser & EO/IR seekers

i think youd need to show spear glide being mounted to Typhoon sadly
Wouldn’t that basically just be SPICE 250?
depends if they’d give spear a mach launch limit. if it shares the same pylons as brimstone currently has then the higher count would be nice too.

What’s the top speed on spear 3?
i think high subsonic is all we know so probably similar to brimstone
I mean its possible but SPEAR Glide is just a mock up right now, waiting for a product launch from MBDA and I will be making a suggestion off that, but there isn’t enough information on SPEAR glide right now.

It cant really be compared to Brimstone. Given that Brimstone is a rocket motor and Spear-3 is a Turbojet. But yeah, high subsonic would ba reasonable guess
Spear-3 shouldnt given its powered, and so Id love them in a SAL+GNSS configuration ASAP.
Spear-Glide though is un-powered, so unless there are sources for higher than mach release speed, it will probably be mach 1 release speed and render nearly useless like Spice-250 is
Is there any suggestion posts around MBT-80? I need it in game
doesn’t look like there is
Not really British anymore but was at Midlands Air Festival and caught the Strikemaster Pair display with the ex-Omani Mk.82A G-SOAF and the ex-Saudi Mk.80 G-SOAR now painted as from Singapore.

Very nice ^^.
Man every time I see them I contemplate if its worth dropping 4 grand for a 30 minute flight in 1 haha. Still my fav jet plane out there.
Yeah seeing them made me want to book one of those flights, but then when I look at my bank account I realise I’m fine with just watching from the ground.
Was a very good display although I think the MiG-17 that was there stole the show.
That one was an incredible sight to see.
Overall though the show was great, the Swordfish, Catalina, Spitfires, Mustang, B-17, OV-10, MiG-17, and Strikemasters were amazing. I got about 6000 photos to sort through and I’ve managed to go through about 1000 already.
