AH-64D with Spikes

he said 38

I guess you are correct I missed that.

Kh-38MT has more range and is supersonic + launched from better conditions.

AASM has better guidance modes and iirc 70km range. Rafale can carry 6 of those while having very good radar and flight performance.

But oh no, USA get a missile with just over half the range, only IR guided, and slow, and it’s now a huge issue and the game is ruined. I don’t even think 64E can take 16 of them, maybe like 8

I could be wrong

regardless i won’t support more cancer for our current spaa as enough cancer exists already for them to deal and suffer with
it will be nice to have these spikes after the multi vehicle spaa update

Helicopter isn’t going to have that much altitude or speed if it doesn’t want to die. It will be hovering behind treeline or hill

It would probably be max 33km

this doesn’t really mean it can’t target targets outside of that

it will go into theorizing however if you want to increase your range you can do high speed popup

With that logic the 114s can go pass 8kms you don’t see speed popups for missiles.

What does it matter if you can target past that if you cant hit it.

Even with high speed popup, it would be like 35km not 50

I believe Gaijin would refer to that as a “marketing lie”

not sure if the fire control system let’s the missile fire past the 8km range even if it could reach there
however it does have more ballistic energy

I would like to see the operator guide the missile with a video feed while they make high speed turns.

helicopters are actually pretty stable due to camber in high speed turns
however i agree that the spike nlos can’t be used at speed due to other reasons which means it won’t need speed to reach higher ranges

it is actually interesting that the max range is listed by americans as 32km and not more compared to what they have on the rafael’s website
could be that back in 2021 they had an earlier version of the spike nlos (5th gen instead of the 6th gen) which reduced it’s range

Does anybody know when they would add the ah64e to the game? As all of you seem to be more experienced playing the game

well one could speculate. i would speculate it comes after aps is more common on top tier tanks and we have already received the multivehicle sam system update
but as an answer in time? no idea.

why though, if it was added right now it wouldnt be overpowered or anything, especially because gaijin will go the lazy route and make it an apache with spikes
