AGM-114 Hellfire - Badly underperforming?

feels like thats most of them

because they closed it you can probably copy and paste it again, and add new source found, or source identified

just make sure you do it 8-12 hours offset from the closed report

From datamine:

  • AGM-179 (IR), AGM-179 (SAL):
    • shrapnel preset changed to the Hellfire one:
      • amount increased,
      • angles widened,
      • range increased,
      • penetration increased,
      • damage increased,
    • explosive damage: offset and radius increased

Seems really quite strange considering the report went from “Not a bug”, to “Fixed”. Bypassing the Acceptance phase.

Maybe it was linked to an Internal report that, didn’t exist at the time. It’s probably the first time I’ve seen this happen.

Cuz

Maybe they changed their views again, or maybe something else.

was this implemented today? Yesterday, I was using the JAGM yesterday and it appeared to be over pressuring more on lightly armored vehicles and doing more damage on heavy targets. Not sure if it was placebo though

Yes

placebo

Btw, it looks like coyote c-uas also use own radar for fuzing. https://youtu.be/RrRScxnDfrk
Or…

Hah? they did it already?
if that the case there will be the few things that Gaijin really able surprise me.

Treating Britain fairly? That would surprise me more

With the leak of there being an Indonesian and a Dutch Ah-64E, what would it’s armaments be? I can see the the JAGM-179A for the dutch, but for the Indonesians, wouldn’t they be stuck with the AGM-114Rs?

Or would they both just get the JAGM-MR?

In terms of gameplay, both nations competitive helicopters (more so for the Japanese TT) but in my personal opinion, it just ruins the uniqueness of the US TT. After years of waiting, the US finally gets a unique weapon system only for it to be copy and pasted to different nations in less than 2 months.

Copy pasting it to other nations is pretty lame, especially Japan which for which Indonesia isn’t even a subtree, that’s worse than Benelux which is an actual subtree, which is also still worse than actual users like Britain.

At least none of the foreign ones should have access to DIRCM, which would make the US one the best one. Also, the US one should have APR-39E, but devs absolutely hate the idea of improving APR-39 RWRs which they ahistorically gutted, and so my report was denied for basically no reason.

Also also, the US one should be the only one with acess to Spike (NLOS), they can make it even more unique right now by giving it proxy fuse ammo for the gun and limiting it to only the US one.

still much better than what they did to AH1Z RWR

Yup, all APR-39s got destroyed and have such garbage target recognition that they act outdated like they’re analogue…AH-1Z should also have a more modern RWR, the APR-39D

What do you mean by “act outdated like they’re analogue”
I’m not that deep into RWR behavior, would they update faster or something?

Digital” RWRs may be able to specify the specific Threat type, isolate a given contact’s Bearing, “in-range” cues and be able to direct other “Electronic Support Measures” (e.g. Hand-off to “Self-Protection” stores & cue Targeting aids, Jamming, Countermeasures etc.). and provide specific “Head-Up” Aural warnings (e.g. SA-6, 10 o’clock, low) & defensive / maneuvering recommendations to crew members.

An analog system basically should only be able to provide Bearing / Quadrant / sector detection, and Received strength / net audio pickup for a threat in a given band.

Compare the following videos

Japan which for which Indonesia isn’t even a subtree,

Gaijin has confirmed that Indonesia and Malaysia will be Japanese subtrees.

what about the JAGM-MR?

Obviously also JAGM-MR. JAGM for general purpose and Spike NLOS for extreme long range
