Brimstone error?

The current UK OOB gives the "Brimstone" as a Top Attack-ATGM in Mobhack, under weapon 173, but ALSO shows as a Laser Guided Bbomb/Air to Surface Missile as weapon 216.

As Brimstone is a species of Hellfire AGM-114F, the TA-ATGM is correct, yet it seems to behave in-game more like a LGB.

Have the UK aircraft all been given the "wrong" Brimstone?

Re: Brimstone error?

I would think the issue here would stem from the game code. The TA-ATGM weapon class is not usable by off map aircraft, but Brimstone can be launched from aircraft, as well as, helicopters. I would think the purpose of having the two types would be to allow it to be both used by on-map helicopters (as a TA-ATGM) and by off-map strike aircraft (as an LGB, because no better substitute exists).

Correct.
