I reckon it will be, with just 4x Spikes
6km from a ground platform, 8+ from a heli
Might be ground launch?
Ah, aight, makes sense
All I remembered was constantly seeing the 6km+ range, which would likely translate to 6km with extra dumb flight range for Gaijin
Gaijin: self destructs after 5km flight distance

Loses sight of target for 1ms, self destructs

Will the AH-64E be receiving Spike NLOS too?
Are the objectively better JAGMs not enough?
Ok, I gave Starstreaks a go for a few matches, as I hadn’t do so for a while
They really butchered their flight behaviour, so I would definitely agree that Martlets would be better in most use cases
Against low flying targets the Starstreaks still feel fine, but against high alt targets they really need an atrocious amount of manual leading to hit anything beyond like 3km
Gaijin really needs to work on missile autopilot/tracking behaviour, I don’t get how they can make SAMs so incredibly stupid

the manufacturer(the people who made it) states the pike NLOS has MITL
That doesn’t matter, Gaijin doesn’t want them to have MITL
They removed MITL from LMURs as well

they removed mitl from ALL helicopters tho
Yes, because they don’t want helis to have MITL, so they treat the NLOS the same way
Gaijin is aware of the Spikes capabilities but it is an active choice to not implement it and it’s not without reason.
They sure do want

Yeah they’ll still be 12.7 with half as many Spikes, that weigh twice as much, and fly slower than Spike ER.

thankfully
This isn’t in dispute, simply MITL will only come for helicopters when most nations have examples.

Fair enough
