The spikes are already in the game i don’t see a reason why it would be to op or why the wont add it
Because only the AH-64E used them

I know but if they would add the ah64e they would just make a reskin of the ah64d with spikes anyways for ”balancing reasons”
I would take 4 spikes instead of 16 hellfires
The hellfires also have really bad maneuverability
And extremely slow
that is partially a symptom of the incorrect flight path
they are striking the target at a much lower velocity than they should so they cant turn as well as they should when they are about to impact

There is a really good post about all the issues of the hellfires. But gajin is probably not gonna fix it any day soon
iirc can be guided in using man in loop, bassically launch missile, hide behind rock, remotely control the missile from its POV

Irl or in game?
Prove that the AGM-114L is IR guided like AGM-65, Kh-38, etc.
Soviets don’t have radar guided AGMs like AGM-114L.
Just wait for AH-64E with SPIKEs.
I have never said anything about the soviets having agm 114Ls
I forgot to specify, my post has been amended.
My overall point is radar guided munitions are not needed, and there are Apaches with IR guided options they can add instead.

No. The ability to ripple 16 Fnf missiles with essentially 2 clicks is even more crazy than the KH38s.
I kinda disagree and agree with you but when u constantly get killed by kh38 missiles you kinda want something’ you can return the favor with
No, it’s only crazy bias if Russia does it.
its almost like there are a number of helis that can already do this

If i’m not mistaken 5 helis have fire and forget and 3 have spikes

I agree with this. Hopefully they come with the radar mode for Brimstone. Either that or add it in as an IIR missile as a stopgap. Which is what they should’ve done for Brim.

mavs already barely hit targets at 6km on the deck in game, I cant imagine how short of range and easy to intercept they would be on a heli
there is an accepted bug report on their motor performance but its been sitting for like a year with no fix
US doesn’t have 9.2km range tandem charge heat airburst proximity fuse ATGMs and no other nation had 40km range F+F IR+IOG when they added the Kh-38/25SM3
- 114L will be unbalanced
- Spike-NLOS is fine
???
@llSolitairell-psn IR guidance is balanced, radar guidance is not.
On top of that, USA does have a tandem ATGM with 50% more pen than TOW-2 and Vikhr.
Proximity fuse is not a benefit against tanks.
Oh, and Vikhr/AGM-114 carriers are always within SPAA range.
And no tech tree had 40km range because the maximum game range was 20km, and the Kh-38MT’s IR seeker is still just copy paste AGM-65D/G seeker.
As of now, 2 - 3 tech trees have 30km laser guided munitions.
